Leni neumeier

Leni started her career as a Chinese medicine practitioner in her late fourties after she gained life experience as a mountain guide, business women and traveler. She successfully graduated from the 5-year doctorate program at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences (ACOS) in Nelson and is an active member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of British Columbia.

Leni was born and raised in Berchtesgaden, Germany, one of the most beautiful mountain villages in the Bavarian Alps. Her curious and adventurous mind brought her to Canada in the early nineties where she established herself as a mountain guide and business owner of Discovery Canada: Outdoor Adventure Inc. and Kootenay Mountain Holidays Inc. Leni’s active outdoor lifestyle drew attention to Team Advil, a feature team at EcoChallenge 2001 and she became the lead navigator during the EcoChallenge in New Zealand and Fiji, a televised 500 km adventure race.

In 2010, Leni left her busy guiding career and immersed herself into the art of Feng Shui where she completed numerous advanced courses with the American Institute of Feng Shui. Through the ancient studies of yin and yang, Leni because more and more interested in the profound aspects of how energy moves within nature and consequently within our bodies. Once again, her curiosity lead her to go deeper into the art and science of Chinese medicine and in 2012 she signed up for a 5 year doctorate program at ACOS.

Leni has been studying with her mentors Dave and Laurie Knox at their clinic for the past 2 years where she is presently practicing. With the help of Dave and Laurie, she has been advancing her skills in Chinese medicine differential diagnosis, integrated craniosacral therapy and somatic emotional release.

Leni feels privileged and honored to draw from the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine and she is looking forward to welcoming new and old patients in Nelson and at The Sentinel Healing Center in Kaslo.
