Healing is in your own hands
Hi there!
Hi, I’m Leontine, the driving force behind Elleomental and the creator of The Control Freak’s Guide to a Headache-Free Life. It is amazing that you have found your way to my website and I hope you feel welcome in this Control Freak’s Society.
The last 5 years I have been implementing my own solution for my headaches, based on my education as a Shiatsu therapist and Tibetan Medicine Practitioner, combined with the thing I did best in my corporate job: Planning.
So, what is the connection between control freaks and headaches?
A few years ago, I was living life at full speed. My career was thriving, and I felt like I had everything under control—or so I thought.
Behind the scenes, I was battling constant headaches and struggling to find true balance, never at optimal level of energy. Powering through, seeing my headaches as a nuisance rather than a sign something was off.
Although I thrive on change, I am not a fan of big sudden changes. I like planning, mapping and managing change on my own terms. This mindset has helped me navigate international moves, big career shifts, and personal challenges.
So, I turned to the tools I know: the principles of Shiatsu, Tibetan medicine, and my own love for planning. Combining these foundations, I mapped out a structured path toward healing and balance. It worked! Not only did I overcome the worst of my headaches, but I also gained clarity and resilience that have transformed my life.
That’s how The Control Freak’s Guide to a Headache-Free Life was born - a step-by-step program that combines ancient healing practices with practical, actionable strategies.
My Mission
Lets admit it, it is so hard to keep all these balls in the air; being a good mother, friend, partner, daughter, lover, between not forgetting birthdays, stress at work, the household tasks, bringing children to school, and hobbies, and then there are these headaches that are crushing you every so often.
Everyone seems to want more balance, more focus for loved ones, or more success, however, not a lot of people seem to know how to attain these things. After years of research and testing—first on myself, then on close friends—I developed a structured, holistic approach to managing headaches and finding balance, doing what I do best, planning. Now, I’m on a mission to share this guide with others who are ready to take control of their lives, naturally and effectively.

Lots of plates in the air
I came to Leontine when I was at the end of my wits. I was tired, I was in pain, and my physician told me that I wasn't sick.
I am impressed by her down-to-earth attitude, while giving me space I needed to unfold, without judgement. Together we made a plan on how I could balance my life a lot better, she taught me more about healthy boundaries, and that my emotions are allowed. I felt control coming back to me, wow!

Small changes
I've had terrible migraines my whole life, and was convinced that nothing would really help me.
Leontine helped me figuring out the stress that my life style was putting on my body. Taking this holistic approach was new to me. Through small controlled changes in my life, my migraines have started diminishing. Food, boundaries and surrounding myself with things that give me energy, is really making a difference, and i would never have expected this!

No woohoo
I was done taking painkillers for my pains, and was ready for something "real".
Leontine showed me that, to get better, a life change was needed. Although this was daunting to me, together we figured out what changes we would start with, and after a while, we implemented more. Now, a year later, I can confidently say that my headaches are reduced, I have more energy for my focus areas, and feel way more fulfilled. Thank you!
