Mama Ayurveda

last week of summer

🦋

With the coming of spring in the northern hemi, we begin an outward, expansive shift as we move into longer, warmer, windier days.

I personally get an upward rush at this time and either start running around multitasking but not getting anything done or get so over-activated it spills over into anxiety, inability to rest, and sleeplessness. Does that sound familiar at all?

The body’s channels are beginning to open and flow more freely BUT, along with that comes the tendency toward seasonal allergies, lymphatic stagnation, mucous and inflammation. It’s important to not only lighten up the diet, but to ground that upward moving energy that can quickly feel overwhelming.

At this time we have the fab opportunity to more easily cleanse the channels and balance all 3 doshas. It’s also an opportunity to nourish and strengthen yourself for the rest of the year.

For me, nothing works better for feeling comfortable in my body and becoming more still, than balancing out the daily highs and lows through a set of practices and rituals.

It allows me to forgo the reliance on extra caffeine to get through the day, and lie down for breathwork or go for a walk, rather than pushing against my body’s need for a break.

The 2nd week of April, I’m offering Nourish & Reset - a gentle cleanse and nourishment for body and soul.

For these 8 days I support you in resetting habits and taking more time for yourself.

You can take it slow and easy or go deeper - per your capacity.
​
Join me for the whole process, including 2 live sessions that include the hows and whys of the practices we’re doing, breathwork, and a live yoga and somatic alchemy practice session with

We begin April 7 - *sign up by April 1st!

Happy 12th to this kind, funny whip smart little beauty 🌈💫♥️

Sneaking outside to capture a moment during the eclipse when I discovered that the filtered light through the leaves of our apricot tree reflected the phase of the eclipse 🌙 🌚

The magic we don’t know until we experience it…. infinite ♾️

FREE Perinatal Webinar! Ayurvedic Practitioner Sunny Rose Healey & Midwife Rebeka Rose will share the holistic tools they use and teach to their students, to support mothers through the childbearing continuum, from fertility through pregnancy and postpartum. Be there live so you don't miss out!

🤘🏼♥️

Honored to host my teacher and mentor Whapio. This wise woman has had a profound impact on me in many ways…

She will share her insights into the art & science of using homeopathy in the childbearing continuum. We’ll focus on postpartum healing, & on the realm of the postpartum psyche.

“…what I am teaching is the feminine approach to the energetics of homeopathy.
What if, in the near future, we no longer dispensed medicine in bottles of pills, no longer took a history as a long list of symptoms, no longer thought of people as a broken mirror that needed to be put back together.
What if we looked at life as an ever-expanding interconnected spiral and what if we could dispense remedies with just the tips of our fingers?
This is the touch of the feminine…and this will move us into the  fullness of what homeopathy and healing can be.
Homeopathy is the perfect place to begin the move toward
caring for each other. And rather than subtract our medical caregivers,
we will just add…and multiply
 
Understanding the principles of homeopathy and using the myriad of plants, animals and minerals that co-exist with us is a step in forward-thinking times.
I’m not talking about the yang way…I’m talking about the spiralic interconnected way. We are looking at the same physiology, the same biology, the same art and science of healing but projected from a more expansive perspective.
This will blow the barn doors off your mind!

Choice is the hallmark of evolution.

The fewer choices you have or exercise, the more you will stay in a closed circle, rooted to one spot, without ever knowing the potential available to you.
We are in a landmark time. 
The spiral is about to expand to a greater bandwidth.
This is what spirals do…and we’re in it now.
We can choose to stay safe with what we know or embrace what is new.
Let’s risk it.
And, actually many things are not new at all. They have been here with us, just waiting for the right season to bloom. Clearly, homeopathy is not new. It was an essential part of the complete system of medicine that Western Medicine belongs to. It will be part of the new Renaissance…
Let’s welcome it.” ~Whapio

As spring comes around, your body’s channels are beginning to open and flow more freely.

This offers the natural possibility to easily cleanse the channels of accumulated winter waste.

The coming equinox time is the best time to cleanse the body of accumulated waste & inflammation, and nourish and strengthen yourself for the next season.
It's also a natural time to begin the outward, expansive shift as we move into longer days.

For me, nothing works better for feeling comfortable in this body and becoming more still, than balancing out the daily highs and lows through a set of practices and rituals.

It allows me to forgo the reliance on yet another cup of tea or coffee to get through the day, and lie down for breathwork or go for a walk, rather than pushing against my body's need for a break.

This month I’m offering
Nourish & Reset - a gentle cleanse and nourishment for body and soul.

For these 8 days I support you in resetting habits and taking more time for yourself.

For those that want to also release accumulation and reset the gut and digestive fire - that opportunity will be part of the program.

You can take it slow and easy or go deeper - it all depends on your current capacity.

This time of year the body asks us to release accumulated kapha and excess from winter.
​
I hope you'll join me for the whole process, including 4 live sessions that include all the hows and whys of all the practices we’re doing, transformational breathwork, and 2 live yoga and somatic alchemy sessions with

I began offering this course in 2015 - it was like a cool drink of water for women who loved Āyurveda but wanted a woman’s take, a focus on women’s health and healing.
There weren’t many options for online learning in this realm at that time, and it was so exciting and fulfilling for me to be one of the bridges in that gap.

I’m so happy to witness the explosion of Āyurveda and women’s health that has taken place in the last few years!

And actually, this course is more needed, more relevant than ever -
as more women take their power back from the medical industrial complex, and fully step into the knowing and the practice of “WE ARE OUR OWN FIRST & BEST HEALERS.”

I have just re-released Ayurveda for Women 🙌🏼
fully updated, and packed with Āyurvedic foundational training, and foundation in women’s health and hormones, plus a primer on the entire perinatal window from preconception to postpartum.
This one is for those just getting started in Āyurveda, or who want to learn for their own health (my professional program through is what you want if you’re creating a practice/business).

For a limited time get $200 off the already low price.

Another medicine making day with these beauties

Cultivated roses can be great for kitchen medicine when they’ve never been sprayed.

Rose brandy, rose vodka (to use as preservative in other concoctions) rose oil and rose syrup all happening - the colors - 4 shades of gorgeous in red, coral, pink and peach, and absolutely intoxicating aromas - I wish I had scratch and sniff here for you!

How's early September treating you?
For me it always feels like the beginning of a new year when my kids go back to school and the season begins to shift.

I finally have a regular schedule again, and that's a gift.

The coming equinox time, and Navratri which begins on the new moon just afterward, is the best time to cleanse the body of accumulated waste & inflammation, and nourish and strengthen yourself for the next season. It's also a natural time to begin the inward shift as we descend into the darker winter season.

For me, nothing works better for feeling comfortable in this body and becoming more still, than balancing out the daily highs and lows through a set of practices and rituals.

It allows me to forgo the reliance on yet another cup of tea or coffee to get through the day, and lie down for breathwork or go for a walk, rather than pushing against my body's need for a break.

This month I’m offering
Nourish + Reset - a gentle cleanse and nourishment for body and soul.

For these 8 days I support you in resetting habits and taking more time for yourself.

For those that want to also release accumulation and reset the gut and digestive fire - that opportunity will be part of the program.

You can take it slow and easy or go deeper - it all depends on your current capacity.

This time of year the body asks us to release accumulated pitta heat from summer, and support the nervous system to quell vata (it's the perfect time to take up or recommit to abhyanga (self oil massage) and I'll be taking you into this practice in Nourish + Reset)

I hope you'll join me for the whole process, including 2 live sessions that include transformational breathwork, and a live movement session with
