You’re not “randomly clumsy,” forgetful, overwhelmed, emotional, scatter-brained, or extra sensitive before your period.

According to Ayurveda, you’re experiencing a Vata rise — something that happens naturally in the late luteal phase as estrogen drops and the body prepares to release.

From an Ayurvedic lens, this phase is governed by air + space, which means:
•your mind moves faster

•your coordination can become a little unsteady

•breath feels more shallow

•digestion shifts

•sleep gets lighter

•emotions sit closer to the surface

•focus becomes harder

•the nervous system gets more sensitive

Many women feel this every month but never connect the dots. And yet — these “strange symptoms” are incredibly intelligent.

Your body is softening, loosening, preparing, clearing. Relaxin rises slightly and estrogen dips. The body feels a bit less anchored.

Your bleed time is also your psychic time. The veil thins and dreams intensify and become very vivid with lots of movement.

Socially allergic because your nervous system is shifting inward, and you can become more sensitive to energy - which makes you feel overwhelmed. Retreat time is needed.

When you understand how Vata behaves before your bleed, everything starts to make sense:
Your body isn’t unpredictable. It’s cyclical.
And you can support it when you finally know what it’s asking for.
If you’re ready to learn your cycle through Ayurveda, Jungian psychology, and the energetics of womanhood…
I have something for you coming in 2026. ✨

We were never shown physiological birth.

We were shown the hospital version—
the overmedicalized, intervention-heavy version—
long before we ever entered motherhood.

We saw:

• women flat on their backs
• monitors beeping
• rushed staff
• bright lights
• emergency scenes
• pain portrayed as unbearable
• birth framed as dangerous

And because this is all we’ve ever seen,
it becomes the internal blueprint of birth.

But here’s the truth:
The unconscious is poweful and shapes women’s experiences.

Make the unconscious, conscious, and you birth in your power and truth.

Join me in my 1:1 integrative birth support containers where we are not afraid to dive deep into underlying fears, bring them to light, and transform your relationship with them.

Birth is one of the most brilliantly designed processes in the human body — and yet it’s the one we interfere with the most.

Interventions in the system are often given too much, too soon, and this is an inarguable fact every birthworker has witnessed. Many women experience their labours being managed, accelerated, or “corrected” long before their bodies ever had the chance to do its thing.

Your body was designed for birth. Your pelvis knows how to open. Your baby knows the path.

What the body needs is safety, privacy, and protection of its hormonal flow — not constant interruption.

Imagine this…
You’re trying to p**p — a natural, mammalian elimination process controlled by the same nervous system that regulates birth.

Now imagine someone watching you, poking you, strapping cords to you, asking you to perform on their timeline, injecting you with drugs that override your natural rhythms…

Would your body actually relax and let go?

Or would it tighten, stall, and struggle to do what it otherwise does perfectly on its own?

Birth is no different.

When we interrupt the natural conversation between your hormones, your nervous system, and your tissues — we create the very complications we fear.

Cultivating deep trust in your body is not idealistic. It’s physiological. It’s primal and sacred. It’s how birth was designed to work.

Birth works…
until we interrupt it.

Work with me in my integrative 1:1 containers for support in trusting your body’s wisdom.

Most women don’t realize their fear around birth didn’t begin with them. 
It’s the accumulation of stories from mothers, grandmothers, media, schooling, and a system that taught us not to trust our bodies.

In my integrative, 1:1 containers, we explore the unconscious patterns that shape how you relate to your body — and they absolutely show up in pregnancy and birth.

Your fear around birth didn’t start with you.

It started with the stories you inherited about your body.
Jungian coaching + Ayurveda show us that fear is often a pattern stored in the unconscious, not a reflection of your body’s ability.

Birth brings those patterns to the surface so you can meet them, integrate them, and step into the archetypal shift from Wounded Maiden → Sovereign Mother.

When women reconnect with their bodies and shed light onto their unconscious patterns — the fear begins to dissolve.

Not because it disappears…
but because you become the one holding it.
This is where birth transforms.

11/27/2025

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
🌀 Hospitals harm far more babies — but those stories are normalized, minimized, or hidden under “protocol.”
🌀 Homebirth is condemned instantly, not because it’s more dangerous, but because it disrupts the cultural narrative.
🌀 Women who choose outside the system are not reckless — they are informed adults navigating a “broken” model of care.
🌀 Radical responsibility isn’t gaslighting. Coercion removes power. Responsibility restores it. They are not the same.

‼️❣️And here’s the part I see constantly in my work…
Most women who come to me for support aren’t first-time moms.

They’re coming after their first hospital birth — after trauma, dismissal, unnecessary interventions, or feeling like they weren’t the ones giving birth… the system was.

By pregnancy two, they’re awakened.
They want autonomy. They want physiological birth. They want their bodies to be honoured— not managed. And they are willing to do the internal work to reclaim it.

🔥Women remembering their power threatens a system built on authority and compliance.
So fear is used strategically — in headlines, in policies, in “cautionary tales” that only go one way. (We’ve seen this in many areas of the allopathic world and other aspects of life! It’s all the same formula!)

This isn’t about glorifying one birth choice over another.

It’s about women knowing they have a choice…
and trusting themselves enough to make it.
A sovereign woman is not easy to control. 🔥
And that’s exactly why she scares them.💥

11/24/2025

There is a lot of noise right now about women choosing birth outside the system. And the narrative is loud because when women remember the power of their own bodies… it rattles the places that rely on our disempowerment.

Here’s the truth most won’t say:

Owning your choices is not coercion.
Coercion happens inside the system every single day — through pressure, fear-based counseling, and “standard protocols” that have nothing to do with evidence-based care and everything to do with birth culture and liability.

Women choosing homebirth, freebirth, or physiological birth aren’t confused or reckless.
They are remembering.
They are reclaiming what their bodies have always known.

And that sovereignty makes people uncomfortable.

Because when a woman understands her physiology, her intuition, and her options…
when she stops outsourcing her power…
when she makes a choice rooted in alignment rather than fear…

the system loses its control.

That’s why the media steps in — to shape the psyche of women, to inject doubt, to remind us of the old story:
“You can’t trust your body. You need us.”

But here’s the bigger picture:

It’s not about where women birth.
It’s about the fear of women who know their power.

Women who make decisions from sovereignty are not easy to manage, manipulate, or silence.

And that’s exactly why this conversation is so charged.

From an Ayurvedic lens… these habits can quietly weaken your Agni — your digestive fire — the very thing responsible for turning food into energy, hormones, blood, and nourishment.
Here’s why:
🔥 1. Green smoothies & raw salads
Raw, cold, rough foods are harder to break down.
If your Agni isn’t strong, they create ama (undigested residue) → bloating, gas, heaviness, constipation, fatigue, PMS.
🔥 2. Snacking all day
Digestion is a sacred cycle.
When you graze constantly, your Agni never has time to reset.
Result? Inconsistent hunger, cravings, slowed metabolism, inflammation.
🔥 3. Eating leftovers
Once food sits past its natural vitality, its prana drops.
Your body has to work harder to digest it… and often fails.
This leads to sluggish digestion, brain fog, and low energy.
To be completely honest, my “leftovers,” if any, are usually no more than 24 hrs old. If it involves rice, it needs to be made and consumed fresh! No storing for later.
🔥 4. Iced water with meals
Cold extinguishes fire.
Simple as that.
Iced drinks weaken digestive enzymes → slower digestion and more bloating.
Ayurveda isn’t about restriction — it’s about alignment.
The more we honour our Agni, the more our hormones, cycles, moods, and energy stabilize.
Most of us are eating in ways that feel culturally “normal”… but not bio-energetically supportive.
If you’ve been doing “all the right healthy things” but still feel off — your Agni may be asking for attention.
And that’s exactly why I created the Ayurvedic Audit, a personalized look at your unique bio-energetics and what your body actually needs to digest, absorb, transform, and thrive.
💛 Your symptoms are messages.
If you’re curious what your Agni is trying to tell you, you can book an Ayurvedic Audit through my DMs.

Most of us think we’re eating healthy… but we’re not eating according to our Agni — our unique digestive fire as women.
⠀
Your body doesn’t digest, respond, or metabolize the same way every woman’s does. Your bio-energetics—your doshic makeup, your hormones, your emotional landscape, your cycle, and the season you’re in—determine how well you actually transform food into energy, nourishment, and ease.
⠀
When these aren’t understood or honoured (hello irregular meals, cold foods, skipping breakfast, eating on the go, eating “healthy” foods that make your body feel heavy or bloated)… your Agni dims.
⠀
And when Agni dims, everything feels harder:
• Low energy
• Feeling puffy or inflamed
• Foggy mind
• Irregular cycles
• Mood dips
• Constipation or loose stools
• Cravings

For the women doing everything right, Ayurveda’s ancient wisdom can make you feel at home in your body again.

✨Most women aren’t eating according to their unique digestive fire — and that’s where everything begins to shift.✨
We’re taught to add more:
more superfoods, more herbs, more supplements, more protocols.
But the truth is…
It’s not what you take.
It’s what your body can digest, absorb, transform, and eliminate.
This is why you can eat “perfectly,” drink the green smoothies, take the magnesium, the probiotics, the adaptogens — and still feel:
• bloated
• constipated
• anxious
• inflamed
• tired after meals
• emotionally reactive
• “off” in your body
Not because you’re doing anything wrong —
but because you’re not eating in alignment with your bio-energetics, your agni, your current imbalances, and the emotional patterns underneath them.
In Ayurveda, digestion isn’t just physical.
It reflects your inner world:
🔥 Anxious mind → irregular agni
🔥 Overworked, perfectionistic mind → sharp agni
🔥 Heavy emotional load → slow, stagnant agni
Your symptoms are never random.
They’re messengers guiding you back to harmony.
This is the heart of the Ayurvedic Audit —
not a new diet or protocol… but a deeper understanding of your bio-energetics, your emotional patterns, and how to nourish your body in a way that finally works for you.
If you’re ready to eat, heal, and live in a way that actually supports your unique system, reply Audit and I’ll send everything you need.

We have over-medicalized women’s bodies to the point where normal variations are treated like diagnoses — and it’s leaving so many women feeling broken before they ever begin their journey. Over medicalizing in birth, peri menopause, etc.

But guess what? Your body was speaking in the only language it knew — through symptoms, cycles, and sensations you were taught to fear. In Ayurveda, we don’t label you. We listen. Irregular periods, painful bleeds, light flows, PCOS, hypothyroid, anxiety, “unexplained infertility”…
These aren’t life sentences — they’re imbalances of elements. Patterns that can shift. Energy that can be restored.

When we stop assigning heavy labels and start understanding the body through the simplicity of Ayurveda, something softens.✅
Your story changes.✅
Your power returns.✅

Your womb is not confused. Your body just wants to be understood in its own language. And you can learn that language.

Let’s work together to decode these messages in the Ayurvedic Audit.
