Wellness
I started meditating as a child, then spent years going on and off, trying to understand what I was feeling, stepping away when it overwhelmed me, and returning when life forced me to pay attention. What brought me back most steadily was plants, then Ayurveda, and the understanding that healing yourself and caring for the world around you aren’t separate.

What I Practice
Ayurveda
Ayurveda was the thing that finally unified everything else I'd been studying. It brought together the meditation, yoga, and the love of plants. All into a single, coherent way of living. It taught me that healing isn't something you do once; it's how you choose to live each day.
Herbalism
Studying plant medicine opened a world of beauty I didn't know existed. Learning how plants produce their secondary constituents, how those compounds interact with our bodies, all of this revealed the intimacy between humans and the natural world that changed how I see everything.
Yoga
Yoga, for me, has been the practice of paying attention, of being present in a body that is trying to tell you something. It sits alongside Ayurveda and herbalism as a way of listening to what is and connecting to that truth. Today I'm working to build a steady practice of āsana, as it is a limb I haven't given enough credit to.
