ABOUT ME

Ayurvedic health counselor and real human

I teach modern people how to heal their bodies using ancient Ayurvedic wisdom—without giving up coffee, swearing, or being a messy human.

After years of dealing with chronic symptoms, mystery illnesses, emotional burnout, and the whiplash of trying to “fix” myself through wellness trends, I stopped searching for the next miracle and turned inward. What I found in Ayurveda wasn’t a strict set of rules—it was a return to rhythm. A remembering. A way to meet myself with curiosity instead of control.

Now I help others do the same.

Whether you’re here for digestive healing, hormone support, nervous system regulation, or just want to feel more like yourself again… welcome. This work is personal, powerful, and practical as hell.

You don’t need another protocol. You need support that meets you where you are—and walks with you from there.

 

Ayurveda is the science of the self. It’s the study of the human body, mind, and spirit, and how it relates to and is affected by it’s environment (everything we take in with our 5 senses).

Ayurveda teaches us to find balance and stability in a world that is inherently imbalanced. These teachings offer simple tools from nature, and practices done without the need for equipment.

The teachings of Ayurveda are a gift.

A breath of fresh air and simplicity that is lacking in Western “health & fitness” practices.

As an overwhelmed, overweight, exhausted, anxious and depressed mother of 2 children under 5 with a full time, underpaid job and a husband who worked out of town,

I didn’t need a workout routine.

I didn’t need supplements, patches or vitamin shakes.

I didn’t need a restrictive diet.

I needed rest.

I needed silence; a pause from the overstimulation.

I needed oxygen; room to breathe.

I needed to come home to my body, and heal my nervous system.


The study of Ayurveda brought me home.

Within just a few months of practicing dinacharya—Ayurveda’s daily rhythm—I felt like myself for the first time ever. I came back to my body’s natural weight. My mind got quiet. My energy returned. I was playful again. Capable. Steady. It wasn’t about control—it was about connection.

That’s when everything shifted.

Since then, this has become more than a practice—it’s become my life’s work. I study Ayurveda not just for me, but for my family, my community, and everyone who’s tired of feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and burnt out by modern life.

I’m not here to teach ancient texts in Sanskrit (though I love a good mantra). I’m here to help normalize daily self-care, nervous system repair, and reconnection with nature—for real humans living real lives in the modern West.

Ayurveda changed everything for me. And it’s my honor to share it with you.

I would like to give thanks to my teachers to date:
