The heal is sort of themetically incongruent. The spirit of the cougar would heal you and make you attack faster? Cougars are all about powerful takedowns that's one hit not a sustained encounter. It would make more sense if it was like a salve. Like some sort of very light form of cleanse. Like maybe something special like it would only remove Damage Over Time spells and replace it with a light heal over time thing that would be interesting ya know she lives in a jungle. Knows jungle rememdies.

It would have a very low flat heal rate but would heal by a greater bonus only when it's removing a DOT spell.

The bushwhack. Seems too sophiscated for a person to build in the wilderness when they haven't been in contact with people and were raised by animals. Instead. I would totally go with a blowdart. Yes I know of the creature that stalks the shadows of Runeterra uses a blowdart already but this one would function like Bushwhack but would get that novely utility scalings in the shred (around the amount Leona has as Taric has too much in his apparantly) but would get most of it's damage potential nerfed but also get to apply a very brief slow that would be fun I think.

Cougar form is okay but there is a bit of a problem. Takedown and Pounce are effectively synomnyms of each other. How does a Cougar take something down? They pounce on it. On that note it would be good to change those two spells and make them like a chained spell. Takedown can't be used unless someone has been pounced on. Pounce rather than being a gap closer to get in range of swipe will reward players on hitting someone with it by stunning them for 0.5 seconds where you can use swipe and takedown without recoil or quick escape.

I think that would make people more interested in playing her support or top while not really harming the Javelin toss but making it feel like you get a lot out of her in general.
