Blossom Into Your Most Balanced Self with Ayurveda
This program has a structure, but also is customized to what is coming up in your life. As your Ayurveda coach, we will look at your mind, body and spirit. In the first session, I will understand your vision for your health and what challenges you are currently facing. In the remaining sessions, I will support you as you reach your health goals and will ask you good questions to help you come up with your own solutions. I will also hold you accountable to what you say you are going to do. You will receive recipes, food lists, lifestyle advoce, journal prompts, self-care handouts and homework assignments throughout our time together. You can also ask me unlimited questions on email.

Your future self is sending you a postcard, and all three doshas are in on it. Vata is panicked, pitta is impatient, and kapha is blissfully slow. Six months will pass either way. Tiny choices today decide which dosha signs off on the message. Are you ready to pick your future self and see whether it's out of balance?

🌬 Vata Future You:
“Hey… remember that lunch you skipped? My energy is still all over the place, my brain is on overdrive, and I’m spiraling and crashing at 2 PM. Maybe start eating warm meals now and reduce overstimulation. Please try to slow down? I'm just saying! Thanks, Overwhelmed Vata”

🔥 Pitta Future You:
“Hello again!. My stress levels are high, my inbox is still never-ending, and my jaw still tight. I’ve been pushing too hard, and honestly… I could’ve avoided burnout if we’d paused sooner. All the best, Frustrated Pitta”

🌿 Kapha Future You:
“Hi friend. My energy is still slow and a bit lethargc. My naps are still necessary. Soup, exercise, and intentional pauses help....but only if you actually start doing them. Thanks, Chill Kapha”

Who is writing to you 6 months from now?

Six months will pass no matter what. The choices yoy make today will impact the version of you 6 months from now:

-Eat that nourishing meal instead of skipping it.

-Take a short walk instead of scrolling endlessly.

-Pause, breathe, stretch, hydrate, or rest.

Choose ONE micro-choice today that supports your body, mind, or energy. Little steps compound into big, steady results. Your future self (and all three doshas) will thank you!

I hope you are liking these humorous and lighter posts. Remember we are a combination of all 3 doshas, but most of us are dominant in 2.

This is day 3 of my series on my Values that Guide my Ayurvedic Work. Today I talk about doing the work and letting go of outcomes. This is must easier said than done...but when we cling to much to the result, this often backfires and does opposite of what we're trying do. It's only when we let go that usually the outcome will happen.

The reflective question for today is: Where are you gripping tightly on your health journey? What would it look like to commit to the process and release the outcome?

☕ Coffee and it's consequences

I sure love coffee! We all know coffee can feel amazing and that first sip in the morning can be bliss. The second cup can be a bit iffy and that third cup can create chaos.

🌬 Vata: “One cup and suddenly I’m buzzing like a hummingbird on WiFi. My mind is racing, my stomach got a bit funky , and I just reorganized my desk drawer instead of finishing that email.”

🔥 Pitta: “Oh, I’m focused.. so focused that I answered all my emails and I'm all scheduled for next week’s meetings. Now, I'm irritable. Please… no one ask me a dumb question. I can't tolerate B.S!"

🌿 Kapha: “Mmm, cozy. I feel so awake and alive… for 20 minutes. Then it’s time for a nap! I’m sluggish, snacky, and wondering why this cup wasn't what I thought it would be.”

✨ Ayurvedic approach to coffee: Coffee isn’t the enemy....it just amplifies your natural tendencies. Vata gets more jittery, Pitta can more intense, and Kapha more dependent. Kaphas do okay with coffee, but vatas and pitta, be more mindful.

If you love it, keep it....but meet it halfway. I love my coffee too even though I have a lot of pitta tendencies. It's not about restricting it, maybe just be more intentional when you have it. Have it with food (not on an empty stomach), sip it slowly instead of chugging it down, and maybe swap that second or third cup for warm water, ginger tea, or even just a stretch break. Your energy will last longer, and your nervous system will be happier.

Six months from now, your body and mind will reflect the thousands of tiny choices you’ve made between now and then.

✨ One version of you wakes up still feeling bloated, heavy, and tired. Meals still feel confusing. Your energy dips and you're still feeling inspired and resonating with different online health advice. You're still waiting for the “right” time to start, and brushing off those symptoms that are slowly more pronounced.

✨ The other version of you wakes up light, clear, and steady. Your digestion feels easier. Food isn’t stressful and you actually enjoy your meals and trust your body more. You respond to stress with more calm, because you feel grounded in yourself. Even your relationships shift, as you communicate better and with more compassion.

The difference isn’t perfection or a rigid checklist. It’s the power of consistent, supportive choices....the kind Ayurveda helps you integrate into daily life.

That’s exactly what we do in my 3-month program: improve digestion, reset your rhythms, reduce toxicity, and (most importantly) help you implement what actually works for you. We also go beyond food, into stress, self-trust, relationships, and purpose.... so you’re supported on every level.

If you’d like to explore whether this work is right for you, you can book a free 30-minute call (link in comments). No pressure....just a grounding conversation to give you clarity on your mind-body type and a few personalized steps to start shifting now.

I'm starting another 5 day video series. This time it's called: My Values that Guide my Ayurvedic Work.

In today's video (Day 1), I talk about the importance of slow and steady change in healing and how it is counterproductive to try to overhaul too many things at one time. When we try to change our diet, routine and mindset all at one time, this can actually increase stress and throw Vata even more out of balance.

There is a reflective question at the end of the video. I would be curious to hear your answer in the comments:

Where have you been trying to change everything at once? What is one small shift you could focus on instead?

Your “someday” isn’t coming. However, today is here. 🌿You’ve been waiting for the perfect Monday, the right conditions t...

Your “someday” isn’t coming. However, today is here. 🌿

You’ve been waiting for the perfect Monday, the right conditions to be met, or the perfect moment… meanwhile, your body is still asking for attention.

So here’s a little reminder: do one small thing today that your future self will thank you for:

-Warm meal instead of takeout.

-Five-minute walk instead of scrolling.

-Saying no to something that drains you.

It doesn’t need to be something grand. It just needs to happen.

That one tiny step is how change actually sticks. What’s your step today?

Your energy plummets during the afternoon...It’s 2 PM and your energy just sank. Where did it go?”

🌬 Vata: “Wait… did the morning even happen? My brain is racing, my stomach is growling, and somehow my to-do list just multiplied. I’ve opened 17 tabs, started three emails, and forgotten why I sat down in the first place. Did I even have breakfast?

🔥 Pitta: “Coffee? Yes I got my coffee! Inbox? I got my emails taken care of. However, my focus is not there! My brain is a bit foggy, my jaw is tight, and I feel this low-level anger at the world for existing while I am tired. Should I power through or take a tiny break? Ok, I’ll just be grumpy instead."

🌿 Kapha: “Snack… maybe a short rest… or both. Okay, definitely both. Perhaps a little stretching, a slow sip of tea, a glance out the window at the trees… ahh, yes! Slightly more human now. I might survive the next hour without putting my face down on my desk."

Your body isn’t being drama...it is sending you signals. Step away from your screen. Take 3 slow, deep breaths. Stretch or sip something warm. Even a tiny pause like this compounds into steadier energy for the rest of your afternoon.

✈️ How the doshas travel (Planning vs. Actually being there)✈️

Vata
Planning: Books flights at 2 am because they are spontaneous. Packs scarves, journals, and maybe forgets shoes.

On the trip: Falls in love with every cafĂŠ or site they go to. Takes hundreds of random photos. They might misplace their passport at least once.

Pitta
Planning: Creates a detailed itinerary with hourly breakdowns. Researches the best restaurants in advance.

On the trip: Insists on sticking to the schedule. Gets hangry if lunch is delayed. They might correct the tour guide. They also might enjoy being the group leader.

Kapha
Planning: Easy-going, happy to go anywhere, but asks, “Will there be snack breaks?”

On the trip: They move at their own pace and might befriend hotel staff. Finds the coziest corner for an afternoon nap. Suggests turning sightseeing into “spa and tea day.”

Don't the best adventures happen when we can laugh at ourselves!?

Tell me, how do you plan for a trip and how do you travel? For traveling, I do tend to like to stick to a scheldule. However there is also a lot of kapha energy in me whe i travel and letting things flow. So I am a mix of pitta-kapha traveler, with some vata. I would say I'm also a pitta-kapha planner for trips. I'll have high level things planned out, but leave space for just being as well.

Healing happens in the small choices you make today

It’s tempting to put off self-care until life slows down.
… When work isn’t so hectic.
… When the busy season is over.
… When things feel more settled...When you have more time.

Healing comes from the small intentional choices you make today....not in some theoretical future time where you will eventually begin to take care of yourself.

The ways you nourish yourself TODAY including the food you eat, the rest you allow, the space you create...all these things will determine how you’ll feel in the weeks, months, and years ahead. How do you want to feel six months from now?

✨ Can you take a deep breath before your next meal?
✨ Can you carve out five minutes of stillness?
✨ Can you choose rest without guilt?

Your body is listening. How can you support it today?

How the doshas read books.....

Remember when reading an actual book (with pages!) was normal?

These days, with endless scrolling, it feels harder than ever to sink into a good read.

Let's see what the doshas do. You might see yourself in 2 or even all 3.

📖 Vata: The queen of unfinished books. Ten half-read novels on the nightstand, but hey....who says you have to finish one before starting the next?

📖 Pitta: Laser-focused. They will often picks one book, plow through it, take notes in the margins, and low-key judges everyone else for not reading as “efficiently" as they read.

📖 Kapha: Loyal and steady. They might take a while, but once they’re in, they’ll savor every page like a cozy cup of tea.....and probably reread their favorites again and again.

In a world of screens and short attention spans, reading a real book is medicine for all of us.

So tell me: what’s your dosha reading style? 📚✨ Any good books you're reading currently or recently?

I'm a bit of vata, but mainly kapha when it comes to books. I'm in between reading three books right now, but I'm determined to finish them all...slowly but surely. I'm not going to read more until these are finished. One is called Sovereign Self by Acharya Shunya which has been a great read so far.

Are you tired of feeling like you should know how to feel better by now?

📚 You’ve read the books.
🎧 You’ve listened to the podcasts.
🌿 You’ve collected info on Ayurveda and feel inspired by certain posts.

However, you’re still running on empty and still not as connected to your body as you want to be.

The thing with collecting information is that it won't get you anywhere. Information isn’t the same as transformation.

In my 3-month Ayurveda program, I provide:
✨ A mirror....so you can finally see what’s really going on.
✨ A map....so you’re not piecing together random tips and piecing together info on your own.
✨ Support.....so you don’t keep falling back into old patterns and accountability when it's harder to stay consistent.

💫 Imagine six months from now. Do you want to be in the same place or do you want to be living as that healthier, lighter version of you who actually feels good in her body?

In our work together, we start with digestion and daily rhythms, but we go much deeper....into stress, relationships, self-love, and purpose. It’s about making Ayurveda real in your daily life, not just intellectual theory.

If you’re ready to take a chance on life again, future-you is already smiling and waving at you from the other side. 💫

You can schedule a free 30-minute call (link in comments). There's no pressure....just a warm, grounding conversation to help you understand your mind-body type and walk away with a few personalized steps toward balance.
