During my mid-forties, I developed a chronic illness that forced me to surrender and re-evaluate my lifestyle choices.
Stressed and overwhelmed, I immersed myself in nature to soothe my nervous system. Along the way, I discovered Ayurveda - India’s 4,000-year-old mind-body health system. Its practices are deeply rooted in the innate intelligence of nature and its power to balance the mind, body, and spirit. By creating daily habits aligned with nature’s rhythms and committing to regular self-care through Ayurvedic bodywork, my physiology harmonized. My body’s intelligence woke up, and I healed.
My Ayurvedic training helped me understand that each person’s constitution is a unique blend of nature’s elements. I now embrace my “water” and “earth” elements, which give me a playful go-with-the-flow attitude along with the capacity to feel deeply. Naturally, I found myself wanting to help and heal others.
My Story
My healing approach is steeped in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda.
One of my favorite concepts in Ayurveda is the belief that the application of oil is considered an act of “sneha”, a Sanskrit word meaning both "oil" and "love.”
By nurturing your nervous system through these ancient therapies, my hope is to allow your body's natural healing mechanisms to take over, promoting physical vitality, mental clarity and emotional well-being.
Come visit me for bodywork that will rejuvenate not only your body, but your mind and spirit as well. Soak in the calming vibes of my treatment room with some herbal tea, aromatherapy, and musical beats from India. You will return home feeling revitalized, relaxed, and grounded.
