About Me

The work I do today didn't begin with Ayurveda. It began with becoming a parent, moving through life's unexpected transitions, and learning that caring for myself was an essential part of caring for my family.

One of those moments came during one of the hardest transitions of my life. My children were just 2½ and 5 when my marriage ended, and I found myself learning how to parent, grieve, rebuild, and care for my family in an entirely new way. I didn't know it then, but those years were quietly teaching me something that would shape the rest of my life.

That realization changed the way I understood parenting. The steadiness my children needed wasn't about having all the answers - it began with how I cared for myself. When I felt overwhelmed, rushed, or emotionally depleted, they often reflected that back to me. When I was more grounded and steady, our home felt different.

Years later, as my children entered adolescence, I found myself in another season of change. They were growing into who they were becoming, and I was changing too. Like so many parents in midlife, I was navigating shifting energy, changing identity, and new questions about how I wanted to care for myself while supporting my family.

Then at 43, I was diagnosed with ADHD. While the diagnosis surprised me, it also gave language to experiences I'd carried for years. More importantly, it helped me understand why I'd spent so much of my life searching for steadiness - not perfection, but practices that helped me feel more present, grounded, and supported.

Ayurveda didn't ask me to become someone different. It taught me how to better support the person I already was by creating simple daily rhythms that helped me feel more grounded, present, and resilient.

Today, I help parents of tweens and teens create supportive rhythms that nourish their bodies, calm their nervous systems, and help them move through this season with greater steadiness and self-compassion. Because I've learned that when parents feel supported through their own season of change, they don't just feel better - they create a steadier foundation for the people they love most.
