Nowadays I eat, sleep, and breathe Ayurveda. But it wasn't always this way.

By my mid-30s, I found myself feeling physically terrible — despite thinking I was doing everything right. Chronic acne, unpredictable energy, painful periods. By my late 30s, a fibromyalgia diagnosis, and eventually Ehlers-Danlos.

I worked my way through every kind of doctor and practitioner looking for answers. The gynecologist recommended birth control to ease acne and heavy cycles. The dermatologist prescribed six months of antibiotics. The GI specialist had no idea what was wrong with my gut. Naturopathic doctors brought endless supplements and an ever-shrinking list of foods I could eat. Nobody was looking at the whole picture — and I knew, intuitively, that everything in my body is connected and we are part of nature. I just didn't know who could help me see it that way.

Eventually, I discovered Ayurveda, and finally everything started to make sense. Why I felt crummy despite eating well and pushing through exercise on days when fatigue was nearly overwhelming. I started making changes, slowly, and slowly I started feeling better. The better I felt, the more I needed to know. I enrolled in a two-year program, went deep, and somewhere along the way found myself helping not just myself — but my family, my friends, and eventually, clients. Becoming a Health Counselor wasn't my plan, but its what I’m meant to do.

There is no shortage of diet and lifestyle advice out there. Trends, protocols, elimination plans — a new one every season, each one louder than the last. What's rare is something that actually lasts. Something that doesn't rely on willpower or restriction, but on understanding your own body so well that healthy choices start to feel natural. Even joyful.

That's Ayurveda. It's not a diet. It's not a set of rules. It's a way of living that works with your body's intelligence — with the seasons, with your daily rhythms, with food as genuine nourishment rather than something to fear. I went from eliminating foods to savoring warm, spiced meals that felt like medicine. I went from grinding through self-care to genuinely looking forward to the ritual of loving myself. Nothing forced. Nothing white-knuckled. Just a quiet, sustainable way of feeling well — every single day. And I tell anyone who will listen because it’s changed my life.

My gut has healed. My digestion is strong. My hormones are regulating. My skin cleared. And today, although older than I've ever been, I feel better than I ever have and I love knowing this is just the beginning.

I want this nourished state of well being for everyone, including you. I've studied Ayurveda deeply — completing a comprehensive training program and plan to continue this education indefinitely. I share what I've lived and what I've learned, because I believe the most powerful guidance comes from both.

I'm honored to walk this path with you.
