Meet the women behind eleven…
Founded & led by Leila & Hazel, both Naturopathic Chefs, who trained at CNM, the College of Naturopathic Medicine.
Leila began her career on a busy trading floor, going on to become a successful broker, before becoming a mum to two beautiful babies, who are now wonderful teenagers. Whilst balancing home life and motherhood she was also involved in the events industry, curating exclusive experiences for a well known music festival.
Leila later decided to follow her passion and love of good food & enrolled at CNM to study food therapeutics.
Since graduating, Leila has hosted several retreats & therapeutic dinners as well as running a seminar on wellness in business. Her instagram page is flooded with beautifully plated, delicious meals that she makes for her family & clients.
Hazel’s background is in creative & marketing across fashion & hospitality both busy fast paced, demanding industries. After becoming a mum to her beautiful daughter, Hazel quickly began to desire something more rewarding out of her career. Food & cooking had been an evolving, growing passion of hers since childhood & after entering Masterchef UK & finishing as a semi-finalist in the 2025 series, she knew food was the way forward.
Hazel enrolled at CNM on the natural chef course to educate herself further on food therapeutics. Hazel has worked with Masterchef winner Harry Maguire & previous contestants on private dining & pop up events as well as hosting kids workshops.
A few words from the founders…
“At the heart of this is something deeply personal to us. Leila and I are on our own wellness journeys, balancing work, families, busy homes and everything else life throws at us. We know what it feels like to pour so much into everyone else that you forget to properly check in with yourself.
If that sounds familiar, this space is for you….
Our hope is that every time you join us, you leave with something new, whether that’s a recipe, a ritual, a mindset shift or simply a reminder to take better care of yourself. Small steps that help you move closer towards living a more nourished life.
As always, food is at the heart of what we do, we share a love and passion for food & a combined belief and interest in nourishing the body with delicious, natural, whole foods that nourish the whole self in return, never compromising on flavour and plating.”
