Ep. 195 Beyond the Ayurveda Checklist with Jackie DeConti

This is a picture of Katie Silcox and Jackie DeConti. It links to an episode of the Spirit Sessions podcast called, "Beyond the Ayurveda Checklist with Jackie DeConti

In this special episode, the tables have turned! Katie is interviewed by Ayurvedic Health Coach and Shakti School alum, Jackie DeConti, about her unique approach to healing and Ayurveda. Many of us come to Ayurveda to “fix” ourselves, however, the point of Ayurveda is not to “fix” because you’re not actually broken! This episode is a beautiful reminder of your innate wholeness and worthiness. Tune in for a discussion about how to go beyond the Ayurveda checklist, avoid common pitfalls of self-development, access your inner wisdom and so much more!

Are you ready to take a more holistic approach to your health and wellness? We invite you to book a call with Jackie to see if our year-long Ayurveda School is right for you! You can book your call here.

The 2026 Shakti School Ayurveda Wellness Coaching The 2026 Shakti School Ayurveda Wellness Coaching Program started yesterday and the energy was electric. ⁠
⁠
Imagine being a part of a group of women ALL OVER THE WORLD who have a common intention: to bring more peace, health, radiance and purpose into their lives in 2026. ⁠
⁠
Imagine being a part of a group of women of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds who actually lift one another up with positive energy and celebrate their true essence and individuality. ⁠
⁠
Imagine learning from some of the smartest, heart-filled teachers and mentors in 2026 who understand that the student's intuitive knowing is the best teacher she will ever possess. ⁠
⁠
The first class is over, but it’s not too late…⁠
⁠
There’s still a spot that feels exactly your shape. And you can take last night's class immediately upon signing up! ⁠
⁠
Soon, the doors will be closing until 2027. But you’re here now, at this moment, reading these words. Trust that timing.⁠
⁠
Say yes to your calling. Join us now and dive into the first class of the year, ready and waiting for you now inside the classroom.
We are in the classroom in 1 hour for the official We are in the classroom in 1 hour for the official start of 2026 Shakti Ayurveda School.⁠
⁠
One of my favorite things about this spiritually-minded Ayurveda school is that we have no gurus and no perfect saints. But what we do have is an inner conviction that it is possible for a woman to live from a place of deep connection to something that is far sweeter, far more powerful and far wiser than we could ever possibly imagine with our conscious, limited mind. ⁠
This is the realm of the HER mystery. This is soul-level, deep-psyche living. ⁠
⁠
In 2026, we are calling in the imperfect, less-than-saintly women. We would love to support you in coming home to what may be a forgotten truth—that you are, in this moment now, deserving of living from your Soul. ⁠
⁠
It requires no effort, accolades or fancy manifesting techniques. ⁠
⁠
It doesn’t have to be earned. It is here now in abundance.⁠
⁠
No need for holy gurus or perfect saints. Just you and this moment. ⁠
⁠
This is your last chance to join us for a year of revolutionary, Feminine Form Ayurveda.⁠
⁠
Xo, ⁠
Katie and Team Shakti ⁠
⁠
💖 Comment AYURVEDASCHOOL to get in now. ⁠

School starts today at 2 PM! Who’s coming? 🌊💓🙌🏻🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🐾🌙🌙👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨
When ladies first join our Ayurveda School, they a When ladies first join our Ayurveda School, they are excited to learn the herbs, philosophy, food, spices, oils, Ancient texts and modern tools for preventative holistic health. ⁠
⁠
But what they are often less aware of is how much this devotional kind of learning will make them laugh. And cry. Or how deeply human this path would feel.⁠
⁠
Ayurveda, at its best, is not stiff or solemn.⁠
⁠
It’s intimate.⁠
⁠
It’s awkward.⁠
⁠
It’s humbling.⁠
⁠
It meets you right where your life actually is.⁠
⁠
At Shakti Ayurveda School, we learn big things, yes. But we also:⁠
⁠
Laugh at ourselves when our icky patterns show up (again).⁠
⁠
Cry when our souls finally feel seen.⁠
⁠
Tell the truth about working with shadow emotions.⁠
⁠
Heal alongside women who can become friends for life.⁠
⁠
This work touches your digestion and your heart.⁠
⁠
Your nervous system and your relationships.⁠
⁠
Your purpose and your body image.⁠
⁠
Your past and your becoming.⁠
⁠
Some days you’ll be taking notes.⁠
⁠
Some days you’ll be having realizations you didn’t see coming.⁠
⁠
Some days you’ll laugh so hard you forget you were afraid to begin.⁠
⁠
That’s the magic.⁠
⁠
Ayurveda isn’t about becoming “better.”⁠
⁠
It’s about becoming more yourself - with more ease, humor and compassion along the way.⁠
⁠
And from the chief-cryer in charge. ⁠
⁠
I can promise you, we do it with love and sometimes Kleenex,⁠
⁠
Katie 💛
For those of you still on the fence about it…⁠ For those of you still on the fence about it…⁠
⁠
Let me tell you the truth about what happens after Ayurveda School for so many of our women. ⁠
Not what you learn (which is a TON).⁠
Not the modules (which are gold you can keep for a lifetime).⁠
Not the certification to be a coach (which you will get!).⁠
⁠
But who you become. And what you will feel at the end. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who opens kindly to her body instead of being at war with it.⁠
⁠
💎A woman who has learned how to open to the parts of her she has been avoiding and running from (often without even knowing it).⁠
⁠
💎A woman who stops outsourcing her authority to trends, protocols or other people’s opinions and starts listening to her inner voice. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who is deeply awake to her mind/body type and how she can use the gifts and superpowers of her uniqueness instead of being held back. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman with better fertility, digestion, skin, emotional balance, sleep, regulation and mental clarity.⁠
⁠
💎A woman who is surrounded by her Ayurveda-school friends (aka cheerleaders) who may be in her life and business forever. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who - if she chooses - is deeply empowered to rock her Ayurveda as a coach out in the world, earning her value and impacting her community in ways that feel meaningful, fun and aligned with her higher purpose. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who is more at home in her own skin.⁠
⁠
💎A woman who finally knows how to nourish her nervous system, hormones, belly and heart. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who is less reactive. More patient. More fun. More joyful. More discerning. More spacious. And more dignified. ⁠
⁠
💎Lastly, a woman who feels she is in her nadi - this is a Sanskrit word for RIVER. It means: She who is in her HOLY FLOW. Life isn't perfect but she is in the direct center of her soul’s best evolutionary path. ⁠
⁠
I want you to feel and be who you were meant to become in 2026. ⁠
⁠
Meet me on Zoom in 24 hours. This is your invitation home.
