A little about us..

Leeli farm was founded in 1914 when Hans Soots, a lawyer who studied in Tartu, after marrying Anna Kanter, bought high-quality farmland in Pörnumaa Pöögle Valda, which was located at that time, in order to start raising crops and animals, thereby helping the growth of Estonian agriculture. In one hundred years, Leeli Talu has passed through three generations within the family, and today, in Karksi Valla, it has grown into a modern farm. In addition to animal and crop farming, a new house is being built and a holiday home is being built.

Founders of Leeli Talu

From the book "Through Russia" , written by the writer Jaak Kõdar from the Anna Soots journal...

Turn from Valga - Uulu road to Leeli avenue. Now, certainly a hundred years ago, the young lawyer Hans Soots planted a boulevard of sixty-five lindens at the gate of his new homestead. Along this boulevard, he brought Anna Kanter, the daughter of Sudiste's school teacher, to the farm; everything that happened on the Leeli farm passed along this road during the following century: the birth of children, the death of three children, the owner brought 200 apple trees and built a giant apple garden behind the house. A tractor came to the farm from here, the first cars in Viljandi County drove. Those who destroyed the life of the farm for fifty years also came from here, they took the housewife Anna Sootsi, mother of ten children, to Siberia. Unfortunately or fortunately, her husband Hans had died of the family disease tuberculosis by then, having been a successful lawyer, farmer, newspaper editor, and briefly a member of the Riigikogu during his relatively short life. Just once, because after a few sessions in Toompea, he left the Riigikogu with the words: "I'd rather go to my farm to haul shit than come here to talk."

The family tree of Leeli's farm is multi-branched, but the tree of his activities is like a forest. In this forest there are entrepreneurship, intelligence, artistic and literary talents, music teachers and conductors, doctors, politicians and business leaders, all of whom looked beyond their boots and were well-known sponsors of cultural people. There was a special urge for education, or rather education. The older brother Ants, who left Estonia with a law degree from the University of Tartu, entered the University of Toronto at the age of 60 and graduated with a degree in Spanish. The middle brother, Lembit Soots, who received an engineering education in Sweden, decided to enter the Toronto Academy of Art at the age of fifty, and in addition to being a businessman, he became a painter and a social figure. Younger brother Leo entered the Tallinn Conservatory at the age of 40 and graduated as a choir director...

During my journey and studying aromatherapy, I quickly discovered the importance of health prevention. I understand that most people don't think about it until they get sick or have health problems. However, there are many people who generally feel bad, have low energy levels, are sleepy, suffer from insomnia or other sleep disorders, or are depressed. Many people feel that the only way to get help is to turn to medication. While in some cases conventional medicine can help, in others we know it can become a downward spiral of side effects that, when turned on, can make a person's health worse due to the abundance of drugs needed when new problems appear. This happens because conventional medicine in most cases treats the symptoms without discovering the original roots of the problems.

Aromatherapy can be a very good starting point along with a holistic nutrition system as it targets the body, mind and soul. This means treating the body as a whole, treating it from the inside out. Preventive methods and staying healthy should be at the top of everyone's personal priority list. When we are young and healthy, we assume that there is no reason to change anything in what we do. Be it the food we eat, the habits we have or the thoughts we think. This is of course not correct because everything in our environment affects us. We all seem to be on autopilot and no one is actually flying the plane. In other words, we all need encouragement to take responsibility and control over our health. We need to be proactive and look for new ways to approach our ways of life.

I have had a lot of experience in healing the body holistically with food, essential oils, and also sharing my knowledge for the healing of others. For those interested in health prevention and healthy lifestyles, please book a free consultation on the services page.
