Ananda Leeke

Ananda Leeke is an award-winning Thriving Mindfully Coach, an artist, an author, a Human Design Doula, and an ordained interfaith minister. Ananda discovered mindfulness when her career as a lawyer, an investment banker, and a digital communications professional stressed her out, caused burnout, and did not produce the level of success she expected. As a result of her healing journey, she learned to navigate change, discovered her own resiliency, and became an artist-in-residence for Smith Center for Healing and the Arts at Howard University Hospital and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, a certified mindfulness + yoga teacher, a digital wellness educator, and a reiki + sound healing practitioner. Today, she helps busy and stressed people nurture, transform, and celebrate their life, relationships, and career with mindful self-care, digital wellness, creativity, and Human Design. As the founder and Chief Mindfulness Officer of Ananda Leeke Consulting, a wellness company, she leads the Thriving Mindfully Academy, an online learning platform and membership site. She also hosts and produces the Thriving Mindfully Podcast. Her books, "Love’s Troubadours," a self-love and yoga-inspired novel; "That Which Awakens Me," a mindful creativity memoir; and "Digital Sisterhood," a mindful tech memoir, are available on Amazon. Currently, she is writing “Thriving Mindfully as the REAL ME: A Memoir of Lipstick, Loving Kindness, Joy, and Everything In Between” (2022). She is a proud alumna of Georgetown University Law Center, Howard University School of Law, and Morgan State University. She is a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.
