Still a couple of months away from publication, but I wanted to share a sneak peak at what I have been working on ( in the pockets of space between work, family & life):

Utsava
Nourishing Recipes to Celebrate Life, Love & Remembrance

In Sanskrit, Utsava (उत्सव) means a festival, celebration, or joyous occasion, derived from 'ut' (removal) and 'sava' (sorrow), signifying the removal of grief; it is also a word that speaks to a sacred occasion, a moment when life is consciously honoured, uplifted, and shared.

Written in the quiet space through and after loss, this book is an offering of nourishment as celebration. These recipes are invitations to gather, to remember, and to mark life as it continues, around kitchen tables, during holidays, in ordinary evenings, and in moments of remembrance.

Rooted in seasonal wisdom and the simple ritual of cooking, Utsava explores how food becomes a daily celebration of living well. Each dish is a way of saying yes to life, whether shared with loved ones or prepared as an act of care for oneself.

This is a book for those who know that celebration can be both generous and meaningful; recipes that not only nourish the body, but also awakens our senses, and bring us fully into life.

No recap. No list of goals. No grand resolutions or catalogue of desires. As the year opens, I carry just this single intention:

“May my actions be aligned with dharma” - inspired by one of my teachers, Kristin Marshall & the many teachings from The Bhagavad Gita.

The Bhagavad Gita defines Yoga in different ways. 'Samatvam Yoga uchyete - Equanimity in all situations is Yoga.' 'Yogah karmasu kaushalam - Perfection in action is Yoga.' Doing things with the right attitude and with the right effort is Yoga.

The Gita offers this verse not as theory, but as a way of living. An instruction on how every action, whether it feels like a gift or a burden, can become a step toward freedom rather than another layer of entanglement.

When we set intentions, whether for 2026 or for a single day, it’s worth noticing how we move through our actions. Much of our struggle arises not from what we do, but from the intentions and emotions we carry into each moment.

When action is driven by ego-centred, impulsive, or self-serving desire, it tightens the mind and creates a sense of bo***ge and unrest. These underlying desires and emotional patterns form the soil of the mind, shaping how we respond, choose, and act throughout the day.

Yoga does not ask us to stop acting. It asks us to act differently.

To act with care.
To offer effort without clinging to outcome.
To shape our intentions so they serve something larger than ourselves, allowing each choice to loosen the knots we carry within.

This is yogah karmasu kaushalam: Not doing less, but doing with discernment. Not escaping life, but meeting it with skill.

So in 2026, may you be guided by devotion rather than desire, and let your intentions be less entangled with reward. May you meet life more evenly, whether it arrives as ease or difficulty.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti

Yesterday, the 22nd of December, marked the Summer Solstice and another turning of the wheel.

At the Summer Solstice, Tejas reaches its zenith. Pitta has been building: heat, light, momentum, outward movement. Life has surged upward and outward, nourished by warmth and clarity. Now the year turns.

As the sun begins its southern course, Ayurveda marks this as a subtle shift from accumulation to conservation. What has been cultivated outwardly must now be digested inwardly. Agni, once expansive, asks for subtlety rather than excess.

This is a threshold moment, a pause between rise and release. A time to soften effort, cool intensity, and listen more closely to the inner terrain. Rather than pushing forward, the Solstice invites pratyahara: a gentle drawing back of the senses. We reflect on what has strengthened us, what has overheated us, and what is worth carrying into the quieter, half of the year. In Ayurveda, this is the season to choose what sustains ojas, not what burns it.

Rest. Assimilate.
Let the fire do its work quietly within.

And on Sunday, that’s exactly what we did. We moved through a carefully held sequence of practices, each designed to awaken, clarify, nourish, and cool the body and mind.

Our journey began with Kundalini practices for prosperity, activating latent energy and inviting expansion with intention. This flowed into sigil creation, translating inner knowing into a symbol, giving form to intention as a visual anchor for the year ahead and the pathways unfolding into 2026. ( So much fun, highly recommend for all ages).

Balancing activation with restoration, we received Shiro Pichu (An Ayurvedic Therapy) using Takra (medicated buttermilk), which cools the nervous system, replenishes the tissues, and gently restores ojas, and a brief exploration of Jyotish (the science of light), using our charts to illuminate patterns, timing, and alignment, offering perspective not as fate, but as a compassionate map for conscious living.

As the sun set, we closed with an extended Yin practice, allowing everything that had been awakened to settle and integrate, restoring vitality and grounding the work in the body.

And everyone was able to float on home to my Gorgeous Shreem Soba Noodle Salad, and selection of home-made Chocolates - Using all the Pitta Pacifying Foods. It was a stunning way to close out the year and prepare for what the coming weeks have in store.

If you weren’t able to make it to Sunday’s event, or even to honour the solstice in your own way yesterday, I hope you can carve out a little time over the next few days to pause, reflect, and gently reconnect with yourself. ✿

The Alchemy of Acceptance; Not all have arrived here, and that's ok - I see you, and hold you in my thoughts.

For many, Christmas arrives wrapped in warmth and celebration, but for others, this time of year will carry the weight of absence and the quiet ache of those we miss. Check in on these people 🙏

If this Christmas finds you grieving, may you feel held in the soft company of memory, and may a gentler kind of light make its way toward you in 2026.

If the smile doesn’t say it all, I wanted to share a piece of what this past year has been quietly devoted to.

4 years ago, I began studying Ayurveda, not just as a course of study alone, but as a way of listening more carefully to life. Since then, much of my time has been devoted to learning the body as an expression of Prana: how breath, thought, emotion, perception, food, rest, movement and touch shape the subtle currents that move through us, and how imbalance in this flow eventually seeks a voice in the body and mind.

This past year, in particular, has been one of deep integration. Through further study and specialty training in:

~ Ayurvedic Nutritional Psychiatry: Food-Mood Yoga & Meditation Therapy
~ Vedic Meditation, Ayurvedic Psychology & Spiritual Counselling
~ Ayurvedic Massage, Kundalini Bodywork & Pranic Healing

The threads I have been holding for years have finally woven themselves into a whole. I have learnt more deeply how food carries intelligence, how herbs and oils restore direction, how touch transmits energy, while coming to a deeper understanding and application of how meditation and mantra refine the field of the mind, a truth I have carried for years.

This work has been slow, devotional, and embodied, shaped through study, practice, reflection and rooted in lived experience. It has taught me to listen more carefully, to work more subtly, and to honour healing as a relationship rather than a technique.

Central to all of this has been the understanding that healing is relational. That presence & compassion matter. That the steadiness and clarity of my own awakened Prana is not peripheral to healing, but the ground from which it occurs. Counselling, touch, silence and attention all become languages through which life remembers itself.

With these studies now complete, and with what has been forming slowly over the years, these 2026 offerings arrive not as something new, but as something ripened, ready to be shared in service. - I look forward to connecting with more of you in this way in the New Year X

*Equally as chuffed with the reno of our kitchen, a space that has been waiting for its next chapter for the last 5 months.

Hey, How are you? -

13/12/2025

It is usually at the beginning of a New Year that I share the Yamas and Niyamas wisdom with our community.

Instead, I sensed that these teachings belong precisely here and now, amid the wild and beautiful chaos of the festive season. Think of it as an invitation for us to live these truths not apart from celebration, but within it.

The Yamas are more than mere rules;�they are ancient vows for living in right relationship with ourselves and the world around us.

As this year closes and a new one quietly begins, the Yamas shift from being strict directives to gentle reminders of how to navigate life with tenderness.

May your practice be sincere and simple.
May your choices be rooted in compassion.
May your very way of living become an act of yoga.
