When we try to define the feminine, we’re doing When we try to define the feminine, we’re doing our best to talk about that which really can’t be talked about. 

It can only be felt. 

It can only be experienced. 

You can start to meet the feminine by beginning to notice what’s happening in your body, what’s happening in your heart, what’s happening in your sensations, what’s happening in your emotions. 

When I start to share about the feminine with the women in our school, there is this thing that happens:

They have a recognition of something I’ve said that awakens something in them that they already knew. 

I just reminded them of what was already inside. 

And so if there’s one thing that the feminine is, it’s the wisdom in you that already knows how to heal herself, that already knows the things in your life that are weakening you and the things in your life that are strengthening you. 

That intuitive, deep wisdom, we call the feminine. 

Our approach to Ayurveda is honoring how this ancient method is rooted in folk wisdom that women have been practicing all over the world.

Women have been doing this root mother medicine for as long as we’ve been here.

And it all starts from this place of: you are the boss. 

You’re the authority on you. 

We want to provide a place and a practice and a method where you get to feel the part of you that’s the boss. 

When you start tapping into that part of you, you start to know this feeling of warmth and kindness, and that’s a good sign that you’re starting to enter into that wisdom realm. 

If you’re feeling the pull towards that remembrance… you would love our year-long Feminine-Form Ayurveda School. 

It’s a full immersion into your feminine intelligence and inner knowing, while studying the time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that honors women’s bodies, rhythms and lives.

Classes just started last week and it’s not too late to sneak in the door.

The feminine isn’t here to do more. She’s here The feminine isn’t here to do more. She’s here to do what matters, slowly and intentionally.

When we try to overhaul our lives overnight, burnout is inevitable… and your higher self already knows this ;)

Feminine-form Ayurveda teaches you how to move with your rhythms, not against them. Less force, more wisdom, real sustainability. This is exactly why we built a whole school around women’s bodies, hormones and cycles.

It’s not too late to join us and begin 2026 in a way your nervous system can actually handle.

​​In Ayurveda, January in the Northern Hemisph ​​In Ayurveda, January in the Northern Hemisphere is cold, dry, heavy and inward-pulling, a time when Vata qualities dominate in both nature and the body. Kapha qualities begin to accumulate in the second half of winter. To stay balanced, Ayurveda emphasizes foods that are warming, grounding, moistening and easy to digest, supporting digestion, immunity and nervous system stability. 

🍠 Sweet potatoes: deeply grounding and warming, offering steady energy during winter’s inward pull.
🥕 Carrots: gently sweet and nourishing, supporting digestion and blood-building.
🫜 Beets: warming and mineral-rich, supporting circulation and vitality when energy feels low.
🥔 Winter squash: moist, sweet and comforting, helping balance dryness and depletion.
🧅 Onions: pungent and warming, clearing stagnation and supporting immunity.
🥬 Dark leafy greens (cooked): grounding and detoxifying when sautéed or stewed, never raw this season.
🍗 Chicken, lamb and turkey: nourishing and easy to digest, ideal for rebuilding strength. Lamb is deeply warming and strengthening for Vata imbalance.
🥩 Bone broth: restorative and mineral-rich, feeding the nervous system and connective tissue.
💛 Mung dal: light yet nourishing, supporting digestion while rebuilding vitality.
🫘 Lentils: warming and grounding when soaked and well-cooked with spices.
🍎 Stewed apples: gently cleansing while warming and calming the gut.
🍐 Stewed pears: moistening and soothing for dryness and tension.
💜 Dates: deeply nourishing, supporting energy and reproductive tissues.
🥣 Oats: warming, comforting and stabilizing for the nervous system.
🍚 Rice (especially basmati): easy to digest and grounding, ideal for daily nourishment.
🫚 Fresh ginger or ginger tea: ignites digestive fire and keeps circulation moving.
🌼 Turmeric: anti-inflammatory and grounding, supporting immunity and tissue health.
🫖 CCF tea: balancing digestion while gently detoxifying.
🧈 Ghee: supports digestion and nervous system health.
