This coming April I am offering my quarterly Ayurveda reset program designed to assist you in preserving your personal balance during the transition from one season to another. Your body and mind need help processing the preceding season’s doshic effects. A seasonal reboot teaches you dosha-balancing practices for a graceful transition.

Spring is an optimal time to synchronize with nature and let go of things that weigh you down. Your body and mind are ready to become lighter.

Join me April 9th through April 17th from the comfort of your home for this 9-day spring reset. We will come together as a group and you will receive a custom plan that is specific to you.
