Louka Leppard was born in 1971 and grew up, surrounded by nature in the southwest of England. He attended culinary school and then went on to study art and design before discovering a natural understanding and aptitude for the healing arts in his mid twenties. From that point on he began developing his skills in the language of touch until in 2000 he founded Tulayoga and Tulamassage. Louka’s primary interests are in the devotional, ceremonial and meditative aspects of touch, in the release of held emotion and trauma through the release of physical tension and the healing power of tenderness. Louka resides in Berlin and travels worldwide, giving treatments, demonstrations, retreats and trainings.
