In my quest to heal myself, I found Ayurveda. I began to understand that the chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, skin and digestive issues were simply signals my body was sending me. I started to see that my obsession with living my life according to external concepts of perfection, success, and beauty were driving me to ignore those signals. My habits were a reflection of this. As I shifted my diet and lifestyle, I felt an immediate impact. My digestion dramatically improved and my skin cleared up within weeks. My energy rebounded and I started to feel deeply nourished in a way I had never felt before. My mind became steady and clear, as did the way forward. But most importantly, I now had the tools to heal and strengthen myself every day through my habits.

I thrived for years as I ran my own Ayurvedic Medicine practice in San Francisco and had my first child. My path of motherhood coincided with a cross-country relocation, the loss of my father, and years of sleep deprivation. After finally settling into my new home outside Boston,  my anxiety and chronic fatigue paid a visit again. I now needed more than just healing knowledge. The demands of motherhood required a paradigm shift. I knew that without the support of a growth-minded, evolutionary community, I wouldn’t thrive on this path of motherhood in the way I had dreamed. So, I joined a dynamic group based on the wisdom of Ayurveda and my life shifted in profound ways. I recovered my health far beyond what I had experienced even in my early years. I began to understand the true feeling of “thrive” and, by natural extension, my husband and children did too.
