Leanne James

leanne jamesLeanne is the founder of Ideal Health.

She has been a natural health practitioner since 1993 and has a wealth of experience to share. She is a Chartered Natural Medicines Practitioner registered with the New Zealand Charter of Health Practitioners Inc.

Leanne opened Ideal Health in 1993, after being involved with different aspects of natural health for over ten years prior to that.

In 1998 we opened our internet shop healthyonline

Soon after the birth of her daughter, Leanne discovered that she had numerous food allergies. To help her, Leanne researched into different areas of natural health, in an effort to discover the best way to treat her daughters' condition.

In 1991 Leanne began formal training with the NZ Institute of Natural Therapies. Her training was completed under the supervision of Dr John Muntz. Leanne trained with them for two years and received a Diploma of Iridology. After completing her thesis, she was also appointed an examiner for them.

Her interest in herbs and their medicinal use, then lead her to complete a two year Diploma in Herbal Medicine.

Leanne is actively involved in many aspects of natural health care on a day to day basis, and is a member of several health organisations.

She is deeply passionate about natural health, and in July 2001 was recognised at the New Zealand Health Industry awards, with a special "Distinguished Public Service Award". This award was presented in "recognition of exemplary dedication and commitment as a Natural Medicines Practitioner providing without parallel, services to the community above and beyond the call of duty."

As further recognition of her health industry skills, she was elected to the Executive Board of the New Zealand Charter of Health Practitioners Inc in July 2002. She remains the current treasurer.

In November 2002 she was honoured to be elected, President of International Research into Iridology and Sclerology Inc. (IRIS). Leanne has been involved with IRIS since it's inception in 1999.

In August 2004 she was elected secretary and treasurer of the New Zealand Natural Medicine Association Inc. (NZNMA). She still holds this executive position.

healthyonline is another way that we have tried to make it easier for you to share her wealth of knowledge and experience. Please bookmark us and visit regularly, to catch up on the latest health news and research from around the world.

Leanne and her team are some of the few practitioners in New Zealand trained in the use of the Cellular Health Analysis (CHA) program. This is a tissue analysis system, developed by NASA to monitor astronauts. CHA can be used to evaluate your current level of health, by accurately measuring the 6 key biological markers of ageing. This can help to put in place and monitor anti ageing and fat loss programs.
