Client Story: Jillian Lavender
Author, Speaker & Co-Founder London Meditation Centre
From emerging teacher to global authority - evolving identity alongside expanding influence.
“Leesa has a rare ability to take into account the whole picture of where I’m at and then build on that based on where the next chapter of my life is heading.”
The Shift
Jillian began working with me around 20 years ago during the early stages of her transition from corporate publishing into teaching Vedic Meditation full time.
At that time, she and her partner Michael were beginning to build the foundations of what would become one of the most influential Vedic Meditation organisations in the world.
As Jillian’s work expanded - from intimate teaching environments into leading large groups, international retreats, published books, global speaking and mentoring high-level leaders - her visibility and responsibility also evolved significantly.
Alongside this came a growing awareness that her visual identity needed to evolve in alignment with the depth, clarity and reach of the work itself.
Our work together became a long-term thread running alongside each new chapter of expansion - supporting the evolution from intimate teaching into global leadership, while ensuring her presence remained authentic, grounded and deeply connected to the essence of the work she shares.
At every stage, the intention has remained the same: creating alignment between her inner development, the integrity of her work, and the way that work is communicated and received in the world.
Testimonial
I’ve been working with Leesa for many years and she has been an integral part of the evolution of my personal style. This evolution has happened naturally as my life has developed. Over time, my roles have expanded to include business owner, client-facing work, motherhood, author, speaker, Vedic Meditation teacher and mentor.
Alongside this expansion, my sense of personal style has also refined. My work with Leesa has been an important through-line as I’ve matured and grown in self-confidence.
Leesa has a rare ability to take into account the whole picture of where I’m at and then build on that based on where the next chapter of my life is heading. I always feel this work is very timely - as if I’m ‘digging the ditches’ for the next level of demand that is invariably coming my way. This deeper work allows me to stay ahead of those transitions, bringing clarity and confidence.
The work goes far beyond the clothes I wear. Whilst that is a core element, it also involves a broader understanding of the message I am expressing in my work. As a Vedic Meditation teacher and mentor, I’m focused on helping people realise their full potential in a grounded and practical way. It’s important that my style reflects this - natural, interesting and inspiring.
Leesa has helped me build a consistent and coherent style that is in sync with the demands of my life as they evolve. I’ve always found this work deeply rewarding and effective.
