The Prana Plate

Food. Lifestyle. Ayurveda. From the tiniest ant to the most majestic elephant, everything around us contains prana.

Welcome to The Prana Plate, a space of creating, sharing and exploring all the good things in life that raise our life force energy, our prana. The levels of prana we experience throughout the day determine the state of our minds. Prana levels are increased when we see things of beauty, hear our favourite piece of music, exchange deep and meaningful words in conversation, feel the warm embrace of another human, take the first bite of a scrumptious meal or when we take a few moments to observe our breath at the end of a long day. Through our five senses we experience all the magic that is around us. Join me on a journey as I explore the sources of prana, with food being the greatest focus. It’s all about sharing and inspiring healthier food choices for a lighter, brighter, happier state of mind!

Reflections from our Navratri Nourish community - a truly transformational journey! 😍🙌

23/09/2025

Happy Ayurveda Day! 🌿 Grateful to have been a speaker at Ayurveda Day celebrations in Cape Town organised by

This year’s theme, “Ayurveda for People and Planet,” reminds us that Ayurveda is not just for human health but also extends to plants, animals, and the entire ecosystem. At its heart, Ayurveda teaches us to live in harmony with nature and to cultivate gratitude for it.

More and more people are beginning to realize its relevance—that when we truly care for ourselves, we are also caring for the environment. It’s also encouraging to see the perception of Ayurveda shifting—from being seen as just a collection of home remedies to being recognized as a complete science and way of life.

Navratri is more than a festival — it is nine nights of inner transformation. Just like the nine months in the womb, these days are a time of deep cleansing and growth. 💫

Fasting, prayer, silence and meditation support this journey — purifying the body, calming the mind, and reconnecting us with our true source. In this way, we begin to transcend our inner struggles.

What is one practice you’re embracing this Navratri for your own inner transformation?

Is your body carrying more than it can digest? We digest not only food, but also thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

When Agni is strong → we feel nourished, light, and clear. When it weakens → toxins (Ama) build up, leaving us weighed down in body + mind.

🌸 Navratri is the perfect time to reset.
It’s a sacred seasonal pause — a chance to rekindle digestive fire, lighten the load, and return to balance.

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your cupboards 🌸✨

Have you ever noticed how different a space feels once the clutter is gone – lighter, fresher, more inviting? The same happens within us.

Just as we reset our homes, it’s also the perfect season to reset our bodies 🌱 – clearing out what no longer serves us, and restoring balance to the doshas.

That’s exactly what our upcoming Navratri Nourish is about – a 10-day gentle gut reset designed to help you feel lighter and brighter.

Stay tuned for details on how to register 🌿

Pitru Paksha (Shraadh) is a sacred fortnight dedicated to honouring our departed loved ones and ancestors. 🌙 It reminds us that our very existence is built on the foundation they laid — and invites us to pause, reflect, and express gratitude.

May this time help us release the weight of the past and live more fully in the present moment.

🌑 Blood Moon Eclipse Tonight 🌑

In South Africa, the lunar eclipse begins at 18:27 this evening.

According to Vedic tradition, eclipses are not times for outward activity but for turning inward.

Rather than fearing the eclipse, embrace it as a chance to reset, realign, and reconnect with yourself.

✨ If this resonates with you, share this post so others can also prepare with awareness.

The more I learn about Ayurveda, the more I realise what a deep and vast ocean of knowledge it is - but how do you actually live it? It wasn’t until I followed this Vedic process of Shravana, Manana and Nididhyasa, that the wisdom actually sank in.

If you're feeling inspired by Ayurveda but unsure how to apply it to your life, I’m here to guide you.

🌿 Book a 1:1 Ayurvedic Consultation with me — and let’s begin the journey of alignment and clarity.

Someone grew these in their garden and thought I was a worthy recipient! 😍

(Celebrating the little things 🥳)

These lovely beetroots and their leaves were used to completion:

🥬 The leaves were added to a stir-fry along with tofu and red onions. Simple masala: salt, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, ginger, garlic, green chilli and lemon juice.
🥬 The actual beers were turned into a pickle with vinegar, rock sugar, thyme, black peppercorns and yellow mustard seeds.
🥬 The stalk were added to a pasta sauce.

A little goes a long way 😉
