Leonie Huie BEM
Leonie is a wife and proud mother to 3 children, twin daughters and a son. Her family are her everything, with home being her happy place. She a hot chocolate and Haagen Daz lover who enjoys spa breaks and is a bit too obsessed with Netflix.
Leonie knows first hand the expectations women have on them to do well in life and succeed as well as being a parent, care giver and managing day-to-day home life which can be overwhelming. She says "Women are very good at multitasking, but that isn't always a good thing because it leaves us feeling stressed and burnout which leads to overwhelm, unproductivity and not being able to look after yourself."
Sometimes for women life can feel a bit like you're trapped in a rat race that never ends which is why Leonie is so passionate about self-care so she can help women improve their well-being.
Leonie is the founder of The Self Centred Hub, a soulful self-care and wellness community she started that offers a safe space for workshops, talks and collaborations with other wellness practitioners. She is a certified Breathwork, Meditation and Mindfulness Coach who provides self-care mentoring to women and corporate companies.
Leonie loves spending family time with her husband and children and knows and understands the importance of work-life balance which is one of the key aspects of her
self-care mentoring programme. For more information on Leonie, explore her website and follow her on the gram @leoniehuie + @theseflcentredhub.
Leonie has dedicated over 20 years to the field of education, imparting knowledge in some of London's most challenging secondary schools. Born and raised in North West London, on the famous Abbey Road, Leonie overcame personal challenges as a teenager having been excluded numerous times from school.
Despite not always having a passion for education, she discovered her calling when she started teaching. Focused on making a difference, Leonie chose to teach Health and Social Care, having always been fascinated by the human body and how it functions. Witnessing her students flourish and pursue successful careers in nursing, midwifery, social work, teaching, and more nothing has brought her greater pride than seeing her students achieve their goals and follow their dreams. Her focus is now on her wellness brand helping women improve their well-being.
Leonie often talks about the challenges she faced as teacher during the pandemic. She describes this period as the most challenging part of her teaching career so, when she received a letter from the Honours Committee towards the end of 2020, informing her that she would be on the honours list, she was truly humbled. Subsequently, in the Queen's New Year Honours List of 2021, Leonie was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for her services to education.
Leonie was also invited to Westminster Abbey to witness the Coronation of Charles III, now King Charles in 2023. She said this was truly an amazing experience and was honoured to have been selected to attend such an amazing event.
