Leanne Barriball- The Devonshire Shepherdess Devonshire shepherdess, farming mum & Neurocoach helping overwhelmed women reset their lives with brain-based tools.

Reclaim your time, boost energy & thrive with clarity, confidence & calm. Real coaching, real results — rooted in real life. A Devonshire Shepherdess was founded by Leanne Barriball after she spent over 10 years trying to workout how to be in the best health possible, to be present for her daughter whilst home educating, and do all the things she wanted to do like having parties, sing in a choir, and have fun! As well as keep her house clean and run a thriving farming business, that worked for her rather than against her. She has been on a journey of self discovery and has been able to transform her energy levels, and ability to be clear on what steps needed to be taken to become healthier, happier and create a dream life. She now desires to help mums who are exhausted of trying to be the best mum possible but find life is too stressful and they just don't have the time or the energy to do the basics, and they barely ever have time for themselves. Do you feel trapped like you have no idea how get off the roller coaster that is life? You just long to be a good mum and support your kids in the best way possible, you just have no idea where to start? This was where Leanne was when her daughter was little, and I she has spent over 10 years and over £50k working out how to make things work, the primary focus being her health. When she came across brain based transformations and Neuro-coaching, by Dr Shannon Irvine, with the ability to rewire our thoughts and brain, she knew this was the missing piece to her puzzle, to creating the life she dreamed of for her and all of her family. Our mission is to help restore, regenerate, rebalance and reignite those who may have lost their way a little, in the busyness of life, so we can thrive not just survive. We do this by offering personalised coaching programmes using the latest neuroscience techniques, to help create change in the brain and neural (thought) pathways, to help you create and reach a life you have only dreamed of in the past.

Today since waking up, I have organised my diary for Tropic events over the next few months in the run up to Christmas.

Let my Tropic VIP customers know who won last months draw. 🏆

Played with the ponies in the yard as per the orders of Hayley who has been learning to do liberty online and wanted to try it out 🐴

Had a full conversation on how to sharpen ice skates ⛸️ which is something Hayley is passionate about at the moment and we have plans to visit The Eden project ice rink this winter.

I had a full body winter warmer salt stones and Indian head massage with Broad Beauty salon for 90 minutes which was lush! 💆

Then tea and cake with a lovely friend Fran Weeks

Now sitting with my feet up writing this post thinking blimey all the vision priming work I’ve done in the last 6 years is coming into play.

All I’ve ever wanted is to have the freedom to choose what I do everyday and make sure that it’s focused around my health and what I need to do to help my body heal fully, Hayley because one day she won’t need me at all hardly, and meet up with friends.

All and all it’s been a lovely day.

Taking back the controls when it comes to your life is possible and actually necessary so you don’t end up at a point in life where you feel like you have missed something.

I was asked the other day if my rheumatoid arthritis was affected by the weather. To which I answered I don’t know as I was diagnosed last October so it was already winter.

This summer we have seen so much sunshine and heat 😎. And I’ve been feeling pretty good.

Compared to last year I am a walking miracle!

However now it’s getting a bit more autumn like I am already feeling it. This is my 3rd day in a row of needing an afternoon nap. And it seems my body is getting colder really quickly which doesn’t help my hands or knees.

I can see my normal plan of stopping lots of activities we have been doing through the summer is going to come quicker this year.

Autumn is followed by winter where technically it’s best for us to be doing less and hibernating.

This is your reminder of this!

Autumn and Winter means SLOW DOWN, STOP SOME THINGS, REST MORE!

Don’t keep going hell for leather and think you’ll be fine.

Tomorows health is created today!

If you have just joined my page, I am documenting my health joining from 2013 where I injured myself whilst pregnant farming messing up the life I had created to that point. I was broken physically emotionally and mentally and I didn’t know it but spiritually as well.

This affected my relationship with my then baby daughter causing her to have separation anxiety when it came to leaving me for school, which caused an emotional delay, leading to her to display symptoms associated with autism and ADHD. Most of which have now gone.

Aged 6 we started home educating, I healed spiritual emotionally and mentally, she healed and we got her brain out of fight or flight and our relationship is better than ever.

2023-2026 I started to gain weight uncontrollably and swell up which I believe was my immune systems way of saying “I need help” following me having covid in 2022. I didn’t know it needed help! The doctors said I was fine the pictures say different.

Last year I become completely in capable of dressing myself, walking, driving, cooking. I couldn’t walk without a walker or crutches. My mum was my carer.

But God who has been through the whole thing is bringing me through and I am trusting for full healing and restoration what ever that looks like. It takes time, I know I still have 2 years to recover.

Until then I continue to create the life that honours my health and my daughters education. My main aim is that she never gets to the position because she makes better health decisions and listens to her body!

Which we all should be doing!

A few weeks ago a friend asked me how much our beef burgers were, as things had changed with the caterers they were supposed to be having.

The bride and groom were going to cook themselves which I thought was awful so I offered to do it for them with my friend Jasmine from Jazzy Bee’s and my kiddo Hayley and it worked perfectly.

Homegrown beef burgers and pulled pork, with coleslaw new potatoes and salad.
Brownies and flapjacks were made by friends topped off with doughnuts and cheese and it was lovely afternoon.

Really made me think there is a market for creating affordable weddings in our party barn. 🧐

Forever grateful that I am even able to do these things because this time last year my rheumatoid arthritis has hit its peak (I still had no diagnosis) and I couldn’t walk without a rollator or crutches, I couldn’t drive, dress myself or cook in fact I could hardly feed myself and it became a joke I wasted most of the dinner down my front all the time.

God is good and answers prayers in the strangest of ways and it’s only looking back that you realise that no hard seasons are wasted, if you position yourself to have a heart to learn about your situation particularly if it’s your health then He really does show you why it’s happening, when it happened, and even how to get out of it and allow your body to heal.

I have the promise I will hold on to by the time I am 40 I will be off all medication and my body will be healed healthier and stronger than it was before 🙏💕🔥 I am believing it before I see it, so that’s how we make it happen.

The power of faith and neuroscience.

Please excuse my face I can’t believe how miserable I look 🤣 it was my idea to do the video and forgot to tell my face to stop showing its true feelings, about raw chicken 🤣🤣

Anyway one awesome way to prep like this is to get chat GPT or equivalent to create you the menu. We put in all the things we like all the things we don’t tell it how many portions we want and hey presto it churns out the plan including full shopping list.

We order the bits we need we are blessed all the meat comes from our own farm the beef lamb and pork. Not the chicken hence the packets.

Mum thinks it approximately works out to be £4-5 a head for a good home cooked meal. I will tell you the exact amount when she figures it out.

So if you’re the kind of mum who has people to feed, and you yourself would be quite happy with spaghetti on toast everyday because it’s easy but no one else would.

I encourage you to look into doing something similar. We leave a few days for things like roast, eating out, take away etc.

It just feels like a good job done when we do this, we started last winter. It doesn’t work so well for summer when it’s mainly salad go figure.

I am a human who likes to see progress because it strengthens my hope and keeps me going.

This first picture which actually makes me wince to look at was in January, this was when my rheumatoid arthritis wasn’t under any medication control and I was on steroids for the pain and to give me any energy to keep going.

The steroids made me gain another stone before I got off them because they are cortisol so in response to elevated cortisol in my body, my body needed to keep eating carbohydrates and sugars to prove that the world was safe even though inside my body was not feeling safe.

For a long time I’ve been looking into the belief systems around why we eat foods we eat, rather than the foods we eat being “bad” for us!

There should be no such thing as “good foods and bad foods” because we as individual people all need different types of foods to be healthy and happy.

There should however be more awareness around what’s in our food! The chemicals and crap “they” have been sneaking in for years to get you addicted, stressed and unhealthy.

For example I love cake, but I know that some so called shop bought cake tastes like crap because they have crap in them. Therefore I will only eat actual home made cakes with only the base ingredients in.

This has all come about because I have trained my brain to literally give me the exact steps I need to heal my body

1) of my rheumatoid arthritis
2) of my obesity

The 2 are one and the same because the obesity came because my body needed me to listen and work out what was going on, of which I was very slow at doing.

Why?

Because we have all been conditioned to not listen to our bodies. The body or rather the brain is designed in such a way that once listening to the signs you can work out what it needs to make it better.

If you are not listening to your brain and your body then you end up sick.

I looked back over my last 3 years my body started giving my the signs in 2022 that something wasn’t right with uncontrolled weight gain. I thought it was never going to stop and I reached my heaviest in March this year.

Healing your body is so much more than eat less and do more exercise.

This is a huge subject which you may never have considered before but on the quest of me becoming as healthy as I could be I stumbled upon a book The More Excellent way by doctor Henry Wright

And I’ve been using it on my own life for years.

We aren’t just a soul and a body we have a spirit as well.
