Welcome to the Peaceful Power Podcast today I chat with Patrea Aeschliman and go into details about pilates and how it can change your approach to your health.

Introduction

Patrea and I were introduced to each other by an online friend whose hooked me up with a few of my past guests. Patrea and I chat about pilates and how coming from a unfit background can help shape you into the person you are today. Just because your family was not into health and wellness does not mean you need to go down that same path.

Background on Patrea

It even helped her overcome injuries from 13 years of high-level gymnastics.  It has been exciting to see her clients achieve remarkable results after they had been trying many other forms of exercise with no success.  Patrea promises to deliver fun, exhilarating workouts both in class and private sessions!

LEarn My Story

My work is rooted in the belief that healing is not linear, but cyclical—like the seasons, like the womb. I help women reclaim their vitality through the sacred tools of Ayurveda, embodied movement, and intuitive rituals drawn from Mother Nature herself.

After the birth of my first son in 2016, Ayurveda became more than a practice—it became my lifeline. The postpartum window cracked me open and reoriented my path, deepening my devotion to supporting women in every season of life—from the fertile soil of postpartum to the sacred shifts of midlife.

I’m also the host of the Peaceful Power Podcast, where I explore how ancient wisdom meets modern life, and the author of two books on cyclical living—Divine Body Wisdom and Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Your Menstrual Cycle.

When I’m not in sacred space with clients, you can find me playing tennis, watching Hallmark mysteries, sipping my morning coffee with reverence, or adventuring on nature trails with my two boys and husband.
