Most people don’t know this story about me but…⁠
⁠
I used to be that “I have to do everything myself” kinda’ woman. ⁠
⁠
You know - the hardcore, “No one can do this the way I can” kinda’ gal. ⁠
⁠
I took care of myself because at one point in my life I had to. I “didn’t need anyone else.” I could “do it alone.” I could meditate for hours solo. Trust in only myself. I was a rock and an island. ⁠
⁠
And then I got pretty sick. ⁠
⁠
I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say this: The most important thing I learned during my healing time was that I needed support. ⁠
⁠
I learned that healing doesn’t happen alone, but in relationships and in COMMUNITY. ⁠
⁠
I got a great therapist. ⁠
⁠
I gave my staff more roles and responsibilities, trusting that not only could they handle their jobs, but they were BETTER at certain things than I was. ⁠
⁠
I got a great Ayurveda team of healers and functional medicine support. ⁠
⁠
I got an AMAZING group of women and men friends in my hometown. ⁠
⁠
I got a dog.⁠
⁠
I let go of my dating snobbery and got on an app. ⁠
⁠
I started to let the STUDENTS of The Shakti School even deeper into my heart. I began to see myself less as “the teacher” (although I’m a darn good one), and more as just one of the amazing souls that came to Ayurveda School every Wednesday to study health and spirituality. ⁠
⁠
I heard stories from our students about how they had made the best friendships, business connections and healer connections of their life - THROUGH OUR SCHOOL. I saw them meet one another for the first time  in person and light up like they were meeting a long lost sister. ⁠
⁠
This week is the LAST week to join the year-long Level 1 program with early bird tuition - the last chance to save $500 when you sign up.⁠
⁠
When you join, I can promise you this, you will have a spiritual home. ⁠
⁠
You will never have to heal alone again. ⁠
⁠
With my heart,⁠
Katie⁠

“Shakti School does such a great job of sitting us down every week and communing with each other, with ourselves and sparking the magic and wisdom that’s already within us.” – Natalie Wegenka

Because no amount of deep breathing can fully prep Because no amount of deep breathing can fully prepare you for the chaotic holiday energy… 🦃✨

But here’s the thing. Feminine-form Ayurveda teaches us how to open to our feelings no matter what (even at the dinner table). 

When we understand our triggers through the lens of our energy and nervous system, we gradually learn how to stay grounded in our body and our peace. 

Those same old patterns begin to lose their power. You start responding from a place of clarity, compassion and true inner steadiness.

Beautiful person, if 2026 is your year for rooting into your deepest, truest Self, you’ve got only ONE week left to lock in $500 off tuition with our early bird discount on Ayurveda School. After that, the price jumps, and I would not want you to miss this window.

If you’re feeling the nudge, don’t wait. Invest in your future now, while the door is wide open.

Imagine this…

It’s January 2026. You log into class with hundreds of brilliant, soulful women from around the world. You’re learning the most ancient science of health and life, laughing, crying, growing and remembering your own sacredness. 

You’re finally doing something for YOU.

And from that place, everything else in your life begins to shift—your health, your work, your relationships… even your sense of being in alignment with your soul’s calling.

That’s what I want for you. And that’s what Ayurveda School can offer.

Don’t let this moment pass you by. The early bird discounted tuition closes in about one week, and the next time you think of it, the discount will be gone.

✨ Save your spot today and save big. Comment AYURVEDASCHOOL to learn more + find your people who actually get it.

Nature thrives in her cyclical routines. In fact, Nature thrives in her cyclical routines. In fact, She is very predictable.⁠
⁠
And although Her Wild Highness can throw a tornado into the mix, She usually gives us clear indications of her changes if we open our eyes to her subtlety. The more we can align with these rhythms, the easier it is to maintain body/mind health. The word for seasonal routine in Sanskrit is rutucharya.⁠
⁠
Rutucharya is not only related to the four seasons and the temperature outside. You may have noticed that life has its own seasonal flavor. You know, "to every thing (turn, turn, turn) there is a season." ⁠
⁠
Yes, from life, death, heat, cold, night, day, falling in love, breakups, and firm breasts to crow's feet, the Ayurvedic sages noticed natural changes both in terms of how the cycles of the seasons relate to the earth's axis, and of how people cycle through their own life in a continuous experience of expansiveness and contraction.⁠
⁠
As we begin to notice Nature's rhythms, we become more and more powerful. We tap into the Most Powerful One-Nature Herself.⁠
⁠
We also learn how to simultaneously work with the changes in our own bodies. We learn how to surrender to the inevitable beauty in the impermanence of everything.⁠
⁠
This autumn season (if you are in the Northern Hemisphere – if you’re in the Southern follow the Spring transitional Ayurveda recommendations!) calls for steadiness and ritual:⁠
⁠
✨ Keep consistent daily routines (your nervous system will thank you)⁠
🕯️ Turn inward with prayer and meditation⁠
🍵 Rest, reflect, and nourish yourself with grounding foods⁠
💨 Breathe deeply and let your body remember slowness⁠
⁠
These small sacred choices stabilize Vata dosha and awaken clarity, creativity and peace.⁠
⁠
This is the heart of what we teach in Shakti Ayurveda School — learning to live in harmony with the seasons of nature and the seasons of your soul.⁠
⁠
There’s just over one week left to lock in early bird tuition for our 2026 class (save $500 before tuition goes up!).⁠
