Our bodies are microcosms of the natural world. We Our bodies are microcosms of the natural world. We are sacred reflections of Mama Nature’s rhythms.

In the Northern Hemisphere, we’re moving through the airy, erratic winds of fall toward the stillness and inward pull of winter—a time when the earth invites us to slow down, nourish deeply and tend the inner hearth before we rebirth anew this spring.

(If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, your rhythm is the opposite: the earth is drawing you outward into warmth, expansion and newness.)

Feminine-Form Ayurveda honors the nature-based wisdom that flows from the lineage of women medicine keepers who learned by watching the moon, tending the soil and listening to the pulse of the Earth.

As we enter this quieter season and move closer to the 2026 rebirth ask yourself: 

Are you honoring your inner pulls? 
Are you feeling a soul-nudge to embrace your Inner Healer or Mystic? 

If you’re feeling called to reconnect to the seasons, the elements and the pulse of Her rhythms—Ayurveda School is where that remembering begins.

Pardon my French—but this is total B.S. The bes Pardon my French—but this is total B.S.

The best doctors in my life have struggled with mental health issues and gut imbalances.
The best healers in my life came from broken homes.
The best couples counselors suffered through gut-wrenching divorces. 

And guess what? Your girl here, Katie Silcox, is still learning how to really love and really heal. 

And I know I’ll be a learner ‘til my last breath out. 

My 20+ years in service as a teacher, coach and mentor have formed me into the woman I am today precisely because being “an awesome coach” means consistently holding yourself to the highest ideals and integrity. Simply stated: Coaching others has made me a better person. 

Don’t hold back on serving others as you wait for some false idealistic perfectionism.

Perfect isn’t a thing.

That’s the magic of Ayurveda the feminine-form way. We live enlightenment one messy, sacred step at a time.

I created The Shakti School because I needed a space where women could come to the table as they are. Not as some green juice–drinking wellness goddess who wakes up at 4am to chant and dry brush (though YES, we love those things too).

But a community of women brave enough to say:

“This is who I am. And I’m ready to reclaim her.”

Here we don’t offer you gurus or strict rules. We offer you a place to remember your true self. 

In our school, you’ll learn the sacred roots of Ayurvedic healing, nervous system-informed coaching and spiritual practice in a way that makes sense for real life. 

You’ll learn how to care for your body, regulate your nervous system and hold space for others - even when you’re still working on yourself (because spoiler alert: we all are).

So no, you don’t have to be perfect.

But you do have to be willing to show up for yourself.

Willing to believe that your story, your body and your healing IS medicine for our broken world.
