MEET LEISAN

Founder Leisan Echols, MS, RDN, CSCS, has been dedicated to fitness and nutrition for over a decade. She began her journey as a personal trainer in 2007, then deepened her expertise by pursuing graduate studies in nutrition and exercise physiology in 2009. While her professional foundation was already established, it was in 2013 — during a solo trip to Japan — that her 'adventure to wellness' truly began. That transformative journey became a turning point in her personal healing and self-discovery. Immersed in a new culture, she was introduced to mindfulness and found deeper meaning in fitness and nutrition through adventure — physical, culinary, and cultural. Leisano Living is a reflection of all these experiences — a fusion of movement, nourishment, exploration, and transformation.

Her Credentials:

  • Exercise physiologist and registered dietitian nutritionist

  • Certified strength & conditioning specialist

  • Nutrition & Exercise Physiology master’s degree (Columbia University)

  • Dietetic residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital

  • Certified mindfulness instructor

“For so many of us, wellness isn’t just about eating well and working out. It’s also about successfully navigating spaces that weren’t built for us — and reclaiming energy for ourselves.”
