Hello!
My name is Alexus ‘Lila’ Swanberg, creator and Sole Clinician at the Living Wellness Lounge. I am a practicing Functional Nutrition Counselor and Clinical Herbalist, specializing in helping people find relief from chronic and mysterious health symptoms.
I use a unique approach to care that seamlessly weaves together three great herbal systems: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and Western Herbalism, alongside the modern discoveries of functional nutrition. I honor the individual truth of each person I work with, engaging in a therapeutic partnership to guide, educate, and empower a new health paradigm.
My heart aches for all those struggling to find peace. I feel called to serve, and my entry point to service is through helping people feel good in their bodies, minds, and spirits. When we feel good, we have the energy and light to show up in this world as our truest selves.
I have had the honor of mentoring under some of the greatest teachers and clinicians of our time. First, Karta Purkha Singh Khalsa, one of the greatest natural healers of our era. He is a Yogaraj (Ayurveda), A.D., D.N.-C, R.H., with over 50 years of experience in herbalism, Ayurveda, and holistic medicine. Mentoring with KP has shown me what it means to be a great clinician and how to help clients achieve the results they need to live a life full of light and love.
My Functional Nutrition Mentor is the renowned Andrea Nakayama, a fierce woman with an amazing story. An internationally acclaimed functional nutritionist, speaker, and educator with decades of experience, she hosted the award-winning podcast “The 15-Minute Matrix” and has dedicated her life to transforming healthcare. Andrea has taught me as much about the art of practice as the science behind it.
I am forever grateful that my path has led me here and for all the amazing souls I’ve met along the way. Never have I felt more at peace and full of love than I do today.
This is my work. Let me know how I may be of service to you.
