About us...
Leeli Farm was founded in 1914 when Hans Soots, a lawyer who studied in Tartu, married Anna Kanter. Together they purchased quality farm land in what at the time was Pöögle, a municipality in the county of Pärnu. They started growing cattle and cultivating crops, assisting in the growth and prosperity of Estonian agriculture. Throughout the past hundred years, Leeli Farm has passed through 3 family generations and grown into a modern farmstead in what is now the municipality of Karksi. In addition to growing cattle and crops, a new house and bed & breakfast has been built.

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 farm is multi-branched, but the tree of his activities is 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...

Joyce-Anne Soots / AROMA AND NUTRITION THERAPIST
On my journey, and while studying Aromatherapy I soon discovered the importance of being proactive in one’s health. I realize that most people really don’t think about it until they’ve become sick or adverse health issues occur. However, there are many people who are feeling generally unwell, low energy, lethargic, suffer from insomnia, or other disrupted sleep patterns and depression. Many others feel like there is really nowhere to turn to, except to pharmaceuticals for help as a solution. While in some cases conventional medicine may hold true, in others we know it can become a downward spiral of side effects, which in turn can make one's health worsen with more drugs to take for every new side effect. That is because conventional medicine in most cases treats the symptoms without first discovering the cause or the root of the problem.
Aromatherapy can be a very good starting point, along with Holistic Nutrition as it addresses the body, mind, and spirit. Meaning that it treats the body as a whole, healing from the inside out. Preventative methods and staying healthy should be at the top of everyone's list. When we're young and healthy we assume we have no reason to change anything we're doing. Whether it be the foods we eat, the habits we have or the thoughts we think. This, of course, is not true because we know that everything in our environment affects us. We all seem to be on autopilot and no one is really flying the plane. In other words, we all need encouragement to take responsibility and get in control of our health. We have to become proactive and look for new ways to approach our lifestyles.
I have had many experiences of healing the body Holistically with food, essential oils, and sharing my knowledge to help others heal as well. For those who are interested in being proactive in health and a healthy lifestyle, please book a free consultation on the booking page.
