I love to help others find their own powerful healing capabilities. I believe in Ayurveda and its ancient ability to help a person restore harmony by utilizing the elements that the earth provides us. Warm oils and powdered herbs are used in therapies to help reduce stress, aid sleep, balance the skin, ears, eyes, nose (sinuses), hair, mind, body and spirit.
Also providing intra-labor and postpartum Ayurvedic therapies to support Apana Vayu.
In my home, we are passionate about pure, non-toxic skin, hair and aromatherapy products. I have a well-established apothecary and I love creating botanical blends that nourish the body, mind and spirit. Please visit my Apothecary page to shop all of my creations.
I love to teach women that it is ok to be both soft and strong. I run a couple self-defense classes a year. Next class is starting up August 2021. Class meets once a week for two hours for 6 weeks. Contact me to register for my upcoming class.
I have worked really hard to prove that nutrition, proper rest and fitness are the key to achieving the goals we seek as athletes. I can help others achieve their athletic goals as I coach them monthly and assign nutrition/fitness plans based on their specific needs. To include attentive nutrition counseling for women in their childbearing years.
Every new mama deserves the loving support that a postpartum doula can provide during her sacred window of recovery. Learn how Ayurveda can help a mother and family bond intimately with their new baby and get the support a woman needs to recover with ease. Enjoy home visits, Ayurvedic belly binding, soothing meals and herbal baths for mom and baby.
Enhance your bonding with your baby as you learn how to cover them in loving, warm herbal oils and soothe them with your nurturing touch. Learning how to tenderly massage your baby can help to ease anxiety and enhance the love hormones, establishing trust between baby and his/her loving parents; creating the ultimate bonding experience that will have benefits for a lifetime.
