Tips for Sanity

Tips for sanity blog banner

We have shifted into a new way of living.

Being forced with no other choice than to embrace the uncertainty of each day, it’s not always easy to feel motivated or excited about staying at home and keeping “distance”. That’s why it’s helpful to call up your best friend, your mom, or your neighbor to share tips on how to keep feeling inspired and spread positivity. That’s why our team is sharing our current and favorite mood boosting tips. Here are just a few insights to what we’re listening to, what self-care we're loving, and what we’re snacking on.

Eva’s story of pivoting her career from corporat Eva’s story of pivoting her career from corporate, NYC architect to Ayurvedic Health Counselor through The Shakti School! 👆🏼

“My soul was dying…I had been trying to force myself into this masculine, corporate world that I just didn’t really fit in. I decided I just had to leave it all.” – Eva Peterson

If you’re the one everyone comes to when they’ If you’re the one everyone comes to when they’re in pain…

If you’ve studied all the healing tools but still wake up wondering: “Why do I sometimes STILL feel so far from myself and my potential?”

I see you, sister.

Because that was me.

For years, I taught, I held space, I gave everything to others, but I STILL struggled to genuinely give myself the warmth, tenderness, generosity and forgiveness that I easily doled out to others. 

One of the greatest and most humbling lessons that we “giving” people have to learn in this lifetime is that we often RUN from loving ourselves because we are so busy helping everyone else. In fact, that isn’t real love - it’s avoidance. 

You see, one day it hit me - I’m not here to learn how to help others (because that comes naturally for me - and many of the women in our program). My soul was whispering something that was really HARD:

❤️‍🔥 “Lover, love thyself. Healer, heal thyself.”

That whisper became a wildfire.

It led me to create The Shakti School Ayurveda Academy - a devotional path back to yourself. A program that isn’t just a certification, but a map back to your own bones, your dignity and your magic. And from that magic -  we truly can be a light unto this world as servants of change. 

Here’s a little taste of what you’ll learn inside Level One:

🌿 The art + science of feminine form Ayurveda
🌿 Nervous system regulation + hormonal harmony through natural methods 
🌿 Sensual + spiritual embodiment practices
🌿 Coaching + Ayurveda for food, sleep, sensuality + life
🌿 How to be a change agent and Ayurveda-based healer the world needs without losing yourself
 
This is the school for women ready to stop outsourcing their wisdom.

To fall back in love with their bodies.

To lead others by leading themselves.

There are just over 2 weeks left of earlybird enrollment for 2026 Shakti Ayurveda School.

“Being feminine doesn’t mean that we have to be always nice and passive. Our femininity also has the power and strength in it that we don’t see everyday.” – Nicole Ronda

🎉 Nicole is a soon-to-be grad from both Level 1 and Level 2 Ayurveda School. 

She’s the founder of ADHD Ayurveda, which is dedicated to empowering neurodivergent women through personalized wellness coaching. Her approach blends Ayurvedic practices, herbalism, divination, and real-life experience. Find her at https://www.adhdayurveda.com/ 🌿

✨ And today marks the final three weeks of earlybird enrollment! That means you’ll save $500+ on tuition when you register before October 31st.

You can stop waiting to be healed to begin. Ayurv You can stop waiting to be healed to begin.

Ayurveda the feminine-form way doesn’t wait for perfection. We live it one messy, sacred step at a time.

That’s why I created The Shakti School — not for “perfect” wellness goddesses, but for real women like me (and you). Women who crave connection, guidance and a map back home to the body and soul.

Inside our year-long training, you’ll learn:

🌿 The sacred roots of Ayurveda (with a modern twist that makes sense in real life)

🌿 Holistic hormone health + nervous system coaching

🌿 Sacred sensuality and spiritual practice for embodied living

🌿 How to hold space for others even while still working on yourself

No gurus. No rigid rules. Just a brave community of women saying: “This is who I am. And I’m ready to reclaim her.”

💫 We begin January 2026...  but early bird tuition enrollment ends soon.

If you felt a tingle in your heart while reading this, don’t ignore it. That’s your inner guidance calling you home.

Imagine a windy autumn day. The air is dry, cool a Imagine a windy autumn day. The air is dry, cool and moving. As these qualities increase during the fall and winter seasons in nature, they increase in our individual nature as well. ⁠
⁠
Fall and early winter remind us of impermanence and death. The season is windy, emptying, rough and dry. If we are listening, we may feel our mind and body undergoing a shift toward a more inward focus.⁠
⁠
How you care for yourself during the fall season will determine your body’s ability to maintain health through winter. ⁠
⁠
This is your cheatsheet for balancing vata dosha this season! 👆🏽⁠
This is the stuff we dive DEEP into in our Level 1 Ayurveda Program. Don’t miss out on this opportunity for a revamp of body, heart and spirit in 2026.⁠

Early bird tuition ends October 31st, so don't wait if you want to enroll with the lowest tuition price—we can’t wait to welcome you in.⁠
