Feeling the heat? Your 3-day cool-down starts now.

Part 1: Welcome + Why I Created the Challenge

  • Warm welcome

    Welcome to a special bonus episode of the Peaceful Power Podcast! This is your invitation to slow down before we officially begin the 3-Day Cool Down Challenge.

  • Why I created this challenge

    For years, summer was a season that left me fried overbooked, overstimulated, burnt out. I thought I was doing everything ‘right’... until my body told me otherwise.

    Then I discovered the Ayurvedic approach to seasonal living, and it completely shifted how I show up in summer especially as a woman in perimenopause.

  • Your invitation

    This challenge is my love letter to anyone who feels the fire of summer externally and internally and wants to come home to themselves again.

What You’ll Experience in the Challenge 

  • Format breakdown

    We’ll connect through a daily email, with short, powerful practices you can actually stick to even in a busy summer + YouTube Video demos!

  • Day-by-day teaser

    • Day 1: Cooling the Mind – breath, tea, and space to reflect

    • Day 2: Cooling the Body – yoga + oil massage

    • Day 3: Cooling the Spirit – sunset ritual + softness

  • Share a testimonial 

    “Here’s what one woman from the spring challenge said: ‘This gave me back time I didn’t know I needed. It felt like a reset I didn’t have to earn.’”

Guided Cooling Breathwork + Intention Ritual 

“Now, let’s drop into your body with a short somatic practice. Consider this your cooling primer to enter the challenge with intention and grounded energy.”

Practice structure:

  1. Intro to cooling breathwork (30 sec)

    • Chandra Bhedana or Sheetali breathing explained in simple terms

    • Optional: Use calming music in background

  2. Breath practice 

    • 8 rounds with space to feel between breaths

    • Invite awareness of physical heat or inner fire

  3. Mini Intention Ritual

    • Invite listeners to place a hand on the heart or belly

    • Ask: “What would it feel like to soften this week?”

    • Visualize releasing heat, pressure, or overdoing

    • Invite them to name an intention aloud or silently

“Your body already knows how to cool and come home this week is just about listening.”

  • Join the Challenge

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. 

an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor & Postpartum Doula, 500 HR Yoga Teacher, and Personal Trainer who has been guiding women back to their inner rhythms since 2007.
