DeAnna Batdorff​, a Generation-X California native​, is a wholistic health detective with over 30 years of experience as a practitioner of Ayurveda, Lymphatic Massage Specialist, Nutrition Counselor, Western Herbalist, and Clinical Aromatherapist. She specializes in reading the pulse, spine, face, skin, and tongue as primary assessment tools. ​All of DeAnna’s teachings​ are rooted in her three foundational pillars: listen to self through symptoms, the right to take action, and ‘follow-through means feeling better.’

DeAnna has seen it all. Some 26 years ago, DeAnna founded and established a ‘by donation’ Ayurvedic weekly clinic and has the only Medi-Cal/Medi-Care funded Ayurvedic consultation program through the West County Health Centers. As an educator who gained permission to share knowledge from her mentors in India and beyond, DeAnna has assisted over 250,000 individuals on their journey to better health through owning their right to 'self-care as healthcare’—offering an in-depth understanding of how the body works and how to bring it back to a state of elemental balance no matter what the circumstance, even during end-of-life sacred passages. Her well-earned wisdom and radical teachings offer an uplifting and empowering look into how elemental theory presents in our 'dis-ease' and how one can apply elemental traditions from around the world to bring upon wellness. DeAnna’s life passion lies in providing a neutral safe space for clients to explore emotional awareness with all physical issues and supporting ALL people regardless of their gender identity, religion, creed or socioeconomic background. ​She​ is known to​ talk about anything and everything when it comes to the body and health—nothing is "TMI" for DeAnna​! Year after year, she pushes against the disempowering beliefs and exclusions that many have become accustomed to in their health journey. Instead, she hands her clients back the power to reclaim their individual health—to become their own health detective through learning to listen to their symptoms along with having access to the balancing remedies that can bring upon better health.

​In 2020, DeAnna was called to evolve her practice from beyond the brick walls of the cherished dhyana Center in Sebastopol​, which she dreamed up and built with her partner​ Scott over 25 years ago, to a global-reaching experience. While she plans to continue practicing in-person, DeAnna feels grateful to have the opportunity to reach people across the globe through her virtual offerings. Recently, DeAnna launched her MyBody Series—this immersive course is a shining example of how she continues to radically create a safe space to help students and clients to meet their fears and face the realities of what their bodies are telling them. The MyBody course teaches transformational tools that each student will carry for a lifetime—self-care techniques, herbal wisdom, a deep knowledge of the lymphatic system, and all things Ayurveda. The movement is ​"​MYBODY​"​— encouraging everyone with a BODY to reclaim their right to heal. She lovingly credits all of her teachers along the way: Jeanne Rose, Michael Tierra, Marcel Lavabre, Horst Rechelbacher, Dr. Lobsang Rapgay, Swami Niranjananda, Dr. Vasant Lad, Miss Beatrice Waight, Dr. Shrestra, Ed Bauman and Dr. Liladhar Gupta. DeAnna also considers her clients and students to be the best teachers she could ever have.

Salt is essential for life—supporting muscle function, electrolyte balance, and blood pressure regulation. When left unprocessed, salt retains a full spectrum of ocean minerals. As sodium and chloride in seawater meet magnesium and potassium along the shore, salt crystals form.

Salt is the only edible crystal on Earth.
This natural process is why raw ocean and river salts are both sustainable and deeply nourishing.

As we transition from summer to fall, a good energetic and physical clearing is essential. One of our favorite ways? A medicated salt Neti Pot rinse using either Grey Atlantic Salt or Baraka salt (infused by professionals — please don’t use DIY medicated salts at home, you can burn your sinuses if not done properly ).
Neti Pot is not just for sinus relief — it helps clear the third eye and supports deeper sleep and relaxation. 🌀 Make sure to use filtered water and a clean pot, and don’t skip the technique! Watch closely as D demonstrates proper breathing and flow — remember: one full Neti per nostril.

Your reset begins here. Let me know how it goes!
