Announcement from Healing Elements Ayurveda

After eight years of offering clinical Ayurvedic bodywork in my treatment space, I’ll be transitioning out of hands-on therapies as of July 31st so I can focus more fully on consultations, practitioner education, and continuing education programs.

Healing Elements Ayurveda will continue to offer:

• online Ayurvedic consultations
• Vedic astrology + integrative Western/Vedic chart readings
• continuing education for Florida massage therapists
• PACE-approved continuing education for Ayurvedic practitioners
• practitioner mentorship and clinical integration support
• small-group healing retreats in the coming seasons 🌿

This transition reflects a natural expansion of my work into teaching and supporting therapists and practitioners who want to integrate Ayurveda safely and effectively into their practices.

Massage therapists who train with me will also become part of a trusted referral network for Ayurvedic clients needing bodywork support — something I’m especially excited to begin building locally and across Florida.

My first in-clinic training,
Fundamentals of Ayurvedic Bodywork — 3-Day Clinical Immersion,
takes place this August inside Healing Elements Ayurveda and is open to massage therapists statewide.

If you’ve been thinking about receiving bodywork before this transition, appointments will remain available through July 31st.

Thank you to this community for supporting Healing Elements Ayurveda over the years. I’m deeply grateful — and very excited for what comes next 💛

Very excited to finally share this.

After many years of clinical practice, I’m officially offering my first Continuing Education training for Florida Licensed Massage Therapists:

Fundamentals of Ayurvedic Bodywork
A 3-day clinical immersion
20 CE hours

This training takes place inside Healing Elements Ayurveda, in a functioning Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatment space — where you’ll learn traditional therapies hands-on in a real clinical environment.

If you’ve ever been curious about Ayurveda…
if you’ve wanted to expand your skill set beyond standard massage techniques…
or if you’re looking for meaningful CE hours that actually change how you practice…

this training is for you.

You’ll learn:

• Abhyanga oil massage sequencing
• Basti therapy applications
• Herbal bolus preparation (Pinda Sweda)
• Udvartana herbal powder therapy
• Clinical oil selection for different body types
• Ayurvedic foundations for integrating these therapies safely into massage practice

This course is open to massage therapists across the state of Florida, not just locally.

And seats are intentionally limited to 14 participants so the training stays personal and hands-on.

This also gives you a chance to get a head start on CE hours for the upcoming licensing cycle with something truly different from typical classroom-style credits.

Another piece I’m especially excited about:

I’m actively looking to build a small network of massage therapists trained in Ayurvedic bodywork who I can confidently refer Ayurveda-supportive clients to when appropriate.

Participants in this training will be part of that referral circle.

If this speaks to you — I’d love to have you there.

✨ The Body Remembers Love ✨
An embodied evening exploring attachment, safety, and intimacy through an Ayurvedic lens.

On Friday, February 27th, Maicie and I are coming together to offer a class that bridges modern psychology, nervous system wisdom, and ancient Ayurvedic teachings — all through the body.

I’ll be sharing an embodied teaching on attachment styles and safety, followed by a gentle yin yoga practice with Maicie and a guided meditation to help integrate the work.

This is a space to soften, listen, and reconnect with how your body learned to love.

🕕 6:00–7:30 PM

Attachment isn’t just psychological — it’s nervous-system based.
And the body remembers far more than we’re often taught to listen to.

In this short clip, I’m sharing how attachment styles can be understood through an Ayurvedic lens, where safety, regulation, and embodiment come first.

If relationships have ever felt confusing, overwhelming, or activating — there’s nothing “wrong” with you.
Your nervous system learned how to protect you.

I just shared my full teaching video on YouTube, where I go deeper into anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment — and how the doshas shape the way we relate, bond, and open to intimacy.

I’ll also be exploring this work live on February 27, weaving together teaching, embodied practice, and gentle integration.
Details coming soon 🤍

Ayurveda teaches that fear pulls us out of rhythm.

When we live in constant urgency, comparison, or control, the nervous system forgets safety.
The body tightens. The breath shortens.
We begin living against our nature rather than within it.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, chronic fear dysregulates Vata, overheated control inflames Pitta, and stagnation dulls Kapha.

Joy, love, rhythm, nourishment, and presence are not luxuries -
they are medicine. 🌿

Healing is not born from fear, restriction, or constant fixing.
It comes from alignment - with nature, the seasons, and the body’s innate intelligence.

When the body remembers safety, healing becomes possible.

In a world that thrives on fear and control, and subtly asks us to be smaller than we are, choosing joy and love becomes the greatest act of defiance. ✊

This is not bypassing reality -
it is remembering who we are beneath it. ✨

🌿 Event Overview
After summer’s blaze, the rains arrive. Storm clouds gather, rivers swell, and nature exhales into Varṣā Ritu — the rainy season in Ayurveda’s Ritu Chakra, the sacred wheel of six seasons.

Here in Florida, we experience this much like Kerala in South India — with heavy rains, tropical humidity, and fertile land. Ayurveda teaches that during Varṣā Ritu, Pitta (fire) that accumulated in summer now spreads into the tissues, while Vāta (air/wind) rises with the instability of storms and dampness. The result? Digestive weakness, restlessness, and imbalance.

This evening is designed to help you return to balance.

🔥 Kim Shelpman, Ayurvedic Doctor, will guide you through teachings on Ayurveda and Jyotiṣa (Vedic astrology), exploring how the rainy season affects both the body and the mind, and how Venus — the planetary ruler of Varṣā — invites receptivity, beauty, and restoration. She will also lead a grounding meditation to anchor these insights.

🧘‍♀️ Maicie Carter, intuitive yin yoga teacher, will guide a nourishing yin practice designed to cool Pitta, steady Vāta, and bring you into stillness — like the calm at the center of the storm.

⸻

🌙 Why Join?
✔️ Learn practical Ayurvedic + astrological tools for the rainy season
✔️ Soothe the mind and body with grounding yin yoga
✔️ Align with nature’s cycles to strengthen your health and resilience

🌧️ Varṣā Ritu — Finding Stillness in the Swell
After the blaze of summer, the rains arrive. Storm clouds gather, winds shift, and what was once fire now turns to water’s swell.

In Ayurveda’s Ritu Chakra, this is Varṣā — the rainy season. Here in Florida, we feel it as heavy afternoon rains, swelling rivers, and tropical humidity. Ayurveda describes this as an Ānūpa climate — marshy, lush, fertile — the same type of land that shapes Kerala, South India, where Ayurveda has been preserved in its most authentic lineage, the very one I practice.

The parallels run deep: Kerala, Florida, Costa Rica, the South Pacific — all tropical regions where mango, coconut, turmeric, tulsi, and jackfruit thrive. These plants, rooted in the Ayurvedic pharmacopeia, grow in our own backyards. Our climates carry the same wisdom.

Here, Pitta, which accumulated through summer’s fire, now spreads deeper into the tissues. Vāta rises with the unstable winds, rains, and humidity — weakening digestion and stirring restlessness. The call is to ground, cool, and steady ourselves so that balance returns.

This is why we gather — to align our bodies and minds with the rhythm of nature. ✨ On Friday, Sept 26th, join me and Maicie for Varṣā Ritu: Finding Stillness in the Swell — a 90-minute journey of Ayurveda, Jyotisha, yin yoga, and meditation to meet the rainy season in balance.

📍 Healing Elements Ayurveda | 6–7:30 PM | $35

08/02/2025

✨ Ritu Chakra means “the sacred wheel of the seasons” - a guiding principle in both Ayurveda and Jyotisha (Vedic astrology). 🌿

Unlike the modern calendar, Ayurveda recognizes six seasons, each governed by planetary and elemental forces that affect not only nature, but our minds, bodies, and emotions.

Right now we’re in Grīṣma Ritu - the peak of summer - ruled by Mars and the fiery Pitta dosha. 🔥

It’s a season of transformation, drive, and intensity… but when overheated, it can also lead to burnout, irritability, and inflammation.

On August 29th, I’ll be offering a special class on Ayurveda & Jyotisha for Grīṣma Ritu, with Maicie guiding yin yoga to help integrate the teachings. 🧘‍♀️

We’ll explore practical ways to stay balanced through herbs, breath, lifestyle, and planetary awareness. Flyer and event link coming soon - would love to see you there. 💫
