Welcome to another episode of seasonal Saturday today we are diving into adding more movement into your day.

 

How’s your life?

Really how are you doing today? Me? I’m doing well now that I’ve rearranged my office space, and both our living room and moon room. It feels like a small shift in energy which always makes a big difference for stepping into my higher self.

Ayurvedic seasonal tip of the week

Keeping movements light, fun and airy. On your walks add in squats, walking lunges, pushups, step-ups onto a bench play outside. Go swimming, do a light yoga sequence, go for a bike ride. After you brush your teeth do 20 squats, hold a plank to start your day. Before you turn on tv, podcast or open Instagram perform 20 squats & 20 pushups. Make it fun, and incorporate your workout routines into your day. Don’t be so rigid about needing it to look like 20 minutes in a row of a circuit or routine play with it.

The summer is the pitta time of year and having light, fun, and unstructured workouts will feel good but also drive the pitta dosha crazy. Pitta can get stuck in the mindset of what it “should” look like to feel like a good workout instead of being open to going with the flow.

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.
