Trying to have a healing dialogue with your inner Trying to have a healing dialogue with your inner child for the first time ever. 🫠

Healing isn’t a one-and-done conversation where you say the right thing and suddenly your inner child doesn’t have trust or abandonment issues anymore (wouldn’t that be nice!? 💔🔥)  

Healing is a relationship.

It’s about slowly (sometimes awkwardly 😉) and lovingly, befriending the parts of you that were ignored, rushed, shamed or quietly kicked out of your own heart.

The tender parts of you don’t open because you said something “right.”

They open because you stayed.

Because you didn’t leave when it felt uncomfortable, even though that first conversation may have felt a little cringe ;) Drop me a line below if you know exactly what I’m talking about. 🫀❤️‍🔥🦋💫
Ayurveda is a complex and vast folk medicine syste Ayurveda is a complex and vast folk medicine system that arose out of ancient India as long as 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda offers us tools to not only heal, but thrive, physically, mentally, relationally and spiritually.

Ayurveda teaches that in order to embody true health (of body, mind and spirit) there are three pillars that must be honored. 

🍋 Pillar #1 Food

According to Ayurveda, all disease originates in the digestive system. When we eat the wrong foods for our body, eat too much late at night, emotionally eat, or eat winter foods in the summer, our belly suffers.

Food is the essence of all life. 

What you put into your body gives you the power to make your life’s purpose a reality. In order to be an earth-shaking, present, wise woman, we’ve got to fuel our machine with premium gas. 

☁️ Pillar #2 Sleep

Getting our beauty z’s can do wonders for how we look and feel, inside and out. Sleep allows the body to detoxify itself from the day, revamping us for the day to come. 

Sleep is also when we heal the tissues of the physical body. It’s the time when we do a major subconscious dump of any undigested emotions and life scenarios.

⚡️ Pillar #3 Shakti

This pillar is all about the management of the vital, creative, life-force that runs through each of us. How do we manage our energy? How do we use our attention and our body? If we look at one of the meanings of the word bramacharya, which is what Ayurveda calls this pillar, we gain insight into what the ancients understood.

One interpretation of the word is “to walk with God.” An example of this is checking in with our heart (you can think of this as your conscience, intuition or God) before engaging in decision making. In this way, our choices are more aligned with our highest intentions and the higher good.

One of the biggest questions I get from women expl One of the biggest questions I get from women exploring our program is “What can I actually do with an Ayurvedic coaching certification? What’s the scope of a coaching practice?”⁠

⁠
🧘🏽‍♀️ Teaching workshops in yoga studios, community spaces, retreat centers or online⁠
