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.

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.
