The passionate, hands-on ‘good guys’ at Living Ground not only take a microscope to the soil to restore its vibrant health; they do it for your soul through tinctures, live blood analysis, education, and infinitely more.u0022

u003cemu003eLeisha and her team did an exceptional job with our property. From the reports of our soil to the actual implementation of what we wanted in our gardens and fruit orchard. She not only helped with the soil but provided us with a plethora of plants, exotic herbs, seeds (which were planted), flowers, etc. As gardening neophytes (especially when it comes to microbiology), Leisha made it ridiculously easy for us. She was able to expand our vision and tune in to our needs and the needs of the property. We are extremely happy!

I have been working with these guys since years now! In 2022, I had a mini-stroke. Leisha did a live blood analysis. My blood looked clumpy, almost like a rope. After being on her plant medicine tinctures and following her protocols, my repeat blood test showed individually spaced blood moving and operating very well, thank you.u003cbru003e

Thank you Leisha
