Ayurvedic bodywork is more than technique—it’s a system of restoring balance through touch, rhythm, and deep understanding of the body.

Join us June 27–29 for a hands-on Ayurvedic Bodywork Immersion where you’ll learn to work with the body in a way that is both therapeutic and intuitive.

✨ Pinda Swedana – herbal bolus therapy to reduce inflammation + restore mobility

You won’t just learn how to perform these therapies—you’ll understand why they work, how to apply them clinically, and how to integrate them into your current practice.

This training is designed for:
Massage therapists, Ayurvedic practitioners, yoga teachers, estheticians, healthcare providers, birthworkers, energy workers—and anyone ready to elevate their offerings and meet a growing demand for deeper, more intentional care.

🤍 For the family members, loved ones, and souls who served, sacrificed, and carried experiences most of us will never fully understand.

Memorial Day feels especially personal for me as someone with a brother who served in Iraq and a brother-in-law who recently returned to his family from a long deployment.

Sending gratitude, prayers, and compassion to military families everywhere today.
May we honor this day with gratitude, presence, perspective, and peace. 🇺🇸✨

Preparing the land with seva before welcoming students for our June Ayurvedic Bodywork Immersion Retreat 🌿✨

One of the most beautiful parts of this experience is that healing begins long before we enter the classroom. At the Sacred Waters Retreat Center, the medicine is everywhere — in nature, in stillness, in community, and in the simple sacred acts of caring for the land.

While doing yardwork and preparing the retreat space, I was blessed by a visit from a family of geese 🪿☀️ The babies rested and fed in the sunshine while I raked sticks and helped tend the grounds for the students arriving next month.

Afterward, I took a barefoot earthing walk around the lotus pond, past the waterfall, through the wooded trails to the creek, and finished with a quiet walk through the labyrinth 🌸🌲💧

These moments matter. According to Ayurveda, healing is not separate from nature. The nervous system restores when we slow down enough to reconnect with the rhythms of the earth.

Students attending the Ayurvedic Bodywork Immersion Retreat will stay onsite at this peaceful retreat center as part of their registration and enjoy daily Ayurvedic lunches prepared to nourish and balance the body 🌿🥣

Together, we’ll study and practice traditional Ayurvedic therapies including:

🌿 Abhyanga
🌿 Pinda Sweda
🌿 Dough Basti
🌿 Garshana
🌿 Shirodhara
🌿 Swedana

This retreat is designed for massage therapists, Ayurvedic practitioners, wellness professionals, and anyone called to deepen their relationship with authentic healing arts and embodied learning 🤲🏽✨ 24 CEUs available.

Only 3 spots remain for the June retreat. DM or comment “BODYWORK” for details 📩 You can also download the full retreat brochure through the link in my bio or visit my website:

Watch this reel, where I’m preparing an herbal bolus for Pinda Sweda — one of Ayurveda’s most nourishing and therapeutic sudation therapies used to support musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, tension, nervous system depletion, poor circulation, and Vata imbalance.

There’s something deeply powerful about medicine made by hand where we pour our love and intention into it🌿🔥 Warm herbal poultices are rhythmically applied to the body to soften tissues, lubricate joints, encourage lymphatic movement, and bring prana back into areas holding pain or stagnation ✨

This June, I’ll be teaching these traditional Ayurvedic bodywork therapies inside our immersive retreat-style training experience. You’ll also see how these herbal pindas are applied directly on the body during treatment — a traditional therapy still deeply relevant for modern issues like chronic stress, overuse injuries, fatigue, and structural imbalance. We will also learn:

🌿 Pinda Sweda
🌿 Dough Basti
🌿 Abhyanga
🌿 Garshana
🌿 Shirodhara
🌿 Swedana

This is hands-on, lineage-rooted education designed for massage therapists, wellness practitioners, Ayurvedic professionals, and anyone wanting to deepen their healing arts practice in an authentic and embodied way 🤲🏽 24 CEUs!!

If you’ve been craving a learning experience that blends ancient wisdom, clinical application, nervous system healing, and transformational retreat energy… this is your sign 💫

✨ Crystal lovers, this one was pure magic ✨

Grateful to spend the day exploring one of the most incredible gem shows and honestly… Ayurveda reminds us that nature carries medicine in many forms and every gem tells a story🌿💎

In Marma Therapy, gemstones and crystals have traditionally been used to support energetic balance, pranic flow, meditation, and subtle body healing. Each stone carries its own unique vibrational quality that can be thoughtfully integrated into healing sessions, intention work, and therapeutic rituals.

One of my favorite things to teach inside my gemstone and crystal healing module is how these ancient healing traditions can beautifully complement marma points and Ayurvedic bodywork practices ✨ The connection between energy, touch, color, minerals, and consciousness is truly fascinating.

This module is a standalone course for CEU's, and is found inside the Polarity Marma Therapy specialist hybrid training.

Nature has always been the original pharmacy 🌎💫

🌑✨ New Moon Medicine Making ✨🌿

Harvesting the wild wisdom of spring — nettles, cleavers, horsetail, yarrow, and burdock — with deep gratitude for the healing intelligence and resources of nature. 🌱🤍

In Ayurveda, spring is known as Kapha season — a time when excess heaviness, stagnation, congestion, sluggish lymph, and accumulated moisture begin to melt with the warmth of the season. This is why the body naturally craves movement, cleansing, lightness, and circulation during this time. 🌿💧

And beautifully… nature provides exactly what we need.

Many of the herbs emerging abundantly in spring are traditional lymphatic and blood-supportive plants that help move stagnant kapha from the body and support rasa dhatu, healthy fluid metabolism, and detoxification. ✨

Today’s tincture for lymphatic support includes:
🌿 Cleavers
🌼 Dandelion
🌱 Burdock
🍂 Licorice
🍒 Schisandra

There is something deeply sacred about harvesting herbs by hand on an auspicious new moon — preparing medicine in rhythm with the seasons, the earth, and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. 🌑🫙

The earth remembers how to heal us. 🌾
