I AM…
As an Ayurvedic Practitioner, I support women in reconnecting with their bodies through nature, ancient practice and ritual, and womb wisdom. My approach aims to bring balance, harmony, and softness to the mind and body.My Journey to Soften…
A Journey to Soften was developed as a result of my personal experiences. During my childhood, I was deeply immersed in feminine and creative energy, with a strong passion for dancing, horses, and various creative projects. However, when I embarked on a career in the medical field, these passions and ideas had to be set aside. As my career grew, those passions and ideas became a distant memory. The belief that hard work is essential for success, led to burnout and emotional exhaustion, and ultimately disconnected me from my body. This manifested in digestive issues, menstrual problems, post-partum challenges, acne, and emotional imbalances. Ayurveda played a crucial role in restoring my well-being by addressing the root causes of my imbalances. It provided me with the necessary connection between my mind and body, allowing me to navigate life with greater ease and grace. Through this reconnection with myself, my relationships with my daughter and husband have also strengthened considerably.If you can’t connect with yourself, how do you connect with those around you?
- I worked as a surgical assistant in the operating room for ten years, predominantly in a highly active and demanding environment. Very much in my masculine energy of doing, action, working hard with little to no time for myself. I didn’t know anything about self-love or honoring my body. I lived off coffee, protein shakes and protein bars. During this time, I participated in a networking group where I acquired self-development skills, which fostered a passion for self-improvement that I have continued to pursue throughout my life (Which I believe kept me grounded as a person).
- Due to burnout, I transitioned out of the medical field and into accounting within the family business and attempted to establish my own clothing business. This just led me to further burnout, unfulfillment, and infertility.
- Throughout my life, I experienced painful and irregular menstrual cycles, fibroids, and acne. Having used birth control for over 15 years, there were periods when my menstrual cycle ceased for years, which doctors deemed “normal.” The struggle to conceive took nearly two years, revealing that birth control was merely masking deeper issues with my hormones and reproductive health that required healing.
- In 2017, following the birth of my daughter, I felt overwhelmed by unexplainable emotions and declined allopathic medication after being diagnosed with postpartum depression. Despite the expectation of joy during this period, I instead felt immense sadness. To address this, I spent years researching and experimenting with holistic modalities, eventually discovering Ayurveda. It resonated with me and inspired me to return to school to study it further.
- In 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my career to study Ayurveda. Little did I know, I was embarking on my own healing journey. My studies continued through Herbalism, Marma Therapy, Somatic Psychology, Reiki, and Womb Wisdom.

- At the age of 41, experiencing perimenopausal symptoms, I once again chose not to embrace allopathic medication. Instead, I adopted a holistic approach using Ayurvedic herbs, womb cleanses, and practices, resulting in the normalization of my cycle and the end of perimenopausal symptoms. This focus on ancient wisdom significantly contributed to my self-healing. By addressing gut health, womb congestion, and emotional blocks, I was able to reclaim my life, achieving a state of peace and balance.
Exploring the mind-body connection has significantly impacted my life. It revealed the relationship between my mind and reproductive health, highlighting my challenges with creation—both in terms of childbearing and bringing my ideas to fruition. I started aligning my inner world with the natural rhythms of nature by adopting Ayurvedic rituals and practices, such as seasonal eating, seasonal cleanses, moon-menstrual cycling, pranayama, meditation and preparing my own herbal medicines. This holistic approach led to the healing of my body.
My personal journey has ignited a deep passion for guiding women back to themselves – through emotional balance, embodied awareness, and sacred reconnection to their womb space. Reconnecting with the sacred feminine within can support individuals on their life journey, promoting intuition, self-love, emotional balance, and creativity.
When we synch our bodies to the natural rhythms of nature, we experience harmony within ourselves.
