About
Meet Leisa, Oculus Travel and Wellness Founder
Life has a way of pushing us to our limits, and I’ve certainly felt that firsthand. Twice widowed and burdened by loss, grief once consumed me to the point where I didn’t feel fully alive. I was stuck in a place of sorrow, unsure how to move forward. But something inside me shifted. With absolute determination, I decided to change the way I saw the world, and in doing so, I found a new path to clarity, peace, and joy.
For 25 years, journaling has been my tool for healing, self-reflection, and growth. It’s been a steady anchor in my life, allowing me to process my pain and uncover deeper truths about myself. But it wasn’t just writing that helped me through the darkest moments—it was also the teachings of spiritual leaders like Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Gabrielle Bernstein, and Eckhart Tolle. Their wisdom provided me with the spiritual tools and insights that allowed me to tap into my own inner strength and resilience. It was through their teachings that I realized we all have the power to create our own reality and transform our lives, no matter how difficult the circumstances may be.
Studying spirituality allowed me to tap into a sense of being fully present and alive that I never really thought was possible. I learned that life, no matter how challenging, is still filled with beauty and possibility if we choose to see it that way. Along the way, I discovered that travel and immersing myself in new cultures and perspectives, became a key part of my healing journey. For me, travel is not just about reaching a destination, it’s about stepping outside of your daily routine, embracing the unknown, and learning from the diverse ways in which people live and experience the world.
Travel has pushed me out of my comfort zone, broadened my mind, and taught me to view the world from a different angle. Whether it’s been navigating a chaotic city totally alone or finding peace in the quiet of a remote beach, each new place has been an opportunity for personal growth. These experiences have not only deepened my understanding of others but have also brought me closer to understanding myself. I’ve discovered that it’s through these moments of connection with new people, new ideas, and new experiences, that true healing occurs.
Through my travels, I’ve formed lasting friendships, embraced new perspectives, and connected to a sense of purpose that is ever-evolving. It’s these experiences, along with my personal journey of spirituality and healing, that have motivated me to create Oculus Travel and Wellness as a space where others can explore the transformative power of travel, wellness, and self-discovery.
Today, I can honestly say that I am more vibrant, more at peace, and more connected to my purpose than I’ve ever been before. I’m passionate about sharing my journey and the lessons I’ve learned along the way, both through my writing and through the experiences I now offer others. Travel, wellness, and spirituality have played a key role in my personal transformation, and it’s my mission to help others unlock the same potential for growth and healing in their own lives.
We all have the power to choose how we experience the world. Whether it’s through travel, shifting our mindset, or embracing the present moment, each choice brings us closer to the life we are meant to live. I’d love to inspire you on your journey to finding clarity, joy, and fulfillment.
