Growing up in Hong Kong, and traveling the world extensively in her youth, Leyla’s eyes were opened to life as it is, not as portrayed in the illusion of the society in which she belonged.  

Raised in the principles of Spirituality and New Age theory by her free-thinking mother, and the influences of Islam by her Muslim father, Leyla developed a deep understanding and love of all religions and spiritual paths. She epitomizes the terminology “Child of the Universe”.

In her late teens and early twenties, Leyla went through life-altering situations which helped her experience a different side of life.

An abusive first marriage, which ended in the suicide death of her husband, homelessness, poverty, a near-death experience, and a renewal of life brought Leyla a wealth of experiences which she utilizes in her work today.

With over three decades of teachings from Spiritual Masters in India, and personal experience within many different religions and spiritual paths, an Ordained Minister with the Universal Life Church, Leyla teaches and speaks from a deeply personal level, often from experience and intuition, always with love. She has experienced a lot of life and embraces the lessons learned in each experience with understanding, compassion, warmth, and gratitude.

Leyla is a Messenger of Universal Truth and Light. She loves deeply and cares for each individual she meets, as a Mother cares for and loves, a child.

Leyla is the author of “The Love Affair of Your Life” A Self-Help Manual to the Greatest Love Affair You Will Ever Experience. She is a co-author in the best-selling “Power of Persistence” together with Justin Sachs and other notable mentors, and she is also a co-author in “Strategies for Success” with Brett Baughman, Chanel Ware, and together with Jack Canfield, and Marie Diamond to name a few.

Leyla was previously host of the internationally listened to radio show, “Manifesting the Positive” together with her co-host Stuart Rosen and Editor-in-Chief of “Magnify You” magazine, an online publication which brought inspiration and life-lesson to readers world-wide monthly.

She is currently bringing her Light, love, and inspiration to listeners world-wide as co-host of the Village of Abundance radio show together with Linda Forsythe, founder of Mentor’s Magazine.
