On December 13, St. Lucia’s Day is widely celebrated. A beautiful celebration which includes girls dressed in white with candle crowns accompanied by star boys and gingerbread men. In modern Sweden, St. Lucia honors the martyr Lucia who fed persecuted Christians.

Previously, in Norse tradition, and under the Julian calendar, December 13 was the shortest day of the year. The long night was dark and dangerous. Bonfires were lit and in order to stay awake, saffron buns were made and eaten.
Baked in an s shape to symbolise the light and the sun, and always made with saffron.

The Norse traditions were added to this now Christian feast day, and saffron buns are still made and eaten today.

How did the Norse know saffron was so powerful? When it originates in places like Iran, India and Morocco. Surely, the knowledge must have traveled along trade routes.

Ayurveda is thousands of years old. In Ayurveda, saffron heals all three Doshas. It is a nervine tonic, it supports fertility in both men & women, it improves Agni, it burns away toxins, creates radiant skin, is a cardiac tonic, improves eyesight and immunity. And so much more, it is a powerhouse of a herb.

Spiritually, it represents purity, prosperity, and the light. It is linked to the Sun and wards off negativity and enhances one’s mind & spirit.
It has been used for thousands of years in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Ayurveda for meditation and ritual.

And thousands of miles away, in Scandinavia, the Norse were consuming saffron to celebrate the light’s power over dark, protection, and the return of the sun and hope. 🌞 Sun knowledge passed on between cultures and traditions.

I’m an Ayurveda therapist with Swedish ancestry and this is such a beautiful synchronicity for me to witness. ❤️

Food is incredibly powerful and it’s deeper meaning is often hidden in traditions. Connecting to the deeper meaning of both food and tradition brings healing into our modern day lives. 🎄🌟

I recently joined Substack. For me, personally, it’s frustrating to get the heart of the matter in a limited word count and as my daughters keep reminding me, no one reads anything on Instagram. 😊

So for those of you who still like to read, I will publishing a more in depth approach to my work and who I am as not only as an Ayurvedic therapist but as a person. ❤️

My first post is about my own personal journey with perimenopause.

This workshop will cover the relationship between the moon and the female body. For thousands of years, the woman’s body naturally synced with the phases of the moon, and many societies lived according to a lunar calendar. As we became more separated from nature, this connection has been downplayed and even ignored.

In this workshop, I will outline how the female body naturally reflects the phases of the moon, especially in our hormones, estrogen and progesterone. I will also specifically explain the function of both hormones and their effect on our mind, body, and psyche.

I will show how the menstrual cycle beautifully represents not only the cycle of nature, but also the phases of the moon. I will also discuss the benefits of a moon practice for every woman, in menopause and beyond.

I will also share how all women benefit on every level when they begin to honor and live according to their cyclical nature. 🌙💫

This Autumn, I'm offering a bundle of three consultations at a reduced price for anyone who wants to truly experience the power of food as medicine.

After the initial consultation, you will be given precise advice about not only what foods works for you as an individual but also what food to add or avoid if you currently have a health condition.

Across the board, general dietary recommendations rarely work because they are based on the assumption that everyone has the same digestive capacity. Ayurveda recognises that not everyone has the same metabolism or digestive capacity. It is so important to understand how your individual digestive system works to avoid creating high levels of toxicity and inflammation in the body. What you can not digest in Ayurveda, turns toxic in the body, and this toxicity is always step one of the disease process. This toxicity also affects how our mind works and our mental health.

Detailed recommendations for what foods to add or avoid to one's daily routine will also be given. This is where Ayurveda is truly powerful as it recognises every single food item we eat has an affect on the body, either creating more balance or more imbalance, either damaging or benefiting the digestive system, either hindering or healing us.

By using very specific food, herbs, and tastes, we can not only heal the gut but also address deep seated imbalances in the mind and body.

What my experience and training has to offer in this field:
"Rachel has such a natural capacity for Ayurveda-both the clarity of understanding and ex*****on, with the compassion and warmth that makes one want to work with you"
Laura Plumb

To take advantage of this offer, you need to book and pay by October 31. You can use the consultations whenever it works for you.

Consultations can be done online or in person in Malmö.
Cost : 200 euros or 2,200 sek

“Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. Hippocrates

I’m delighted to have expanded my Ayurvedic training to bring food more powerfully into my Ayurvedic practice and what I can offer to my clients.

Ayurveda has always treated food as medicine and it is part of any treatment program for any health condition. There is a sophisticated and intelligent system to how Ayurveda utilises the power of food to
bring us back into health and wellness. It’s been over fifteen years since my first Ayurveda training and I really wanted to reimmerse myself into one of the foundation principles of Ayurveda, food.

Training with allowed me to do just that and I’m more passionate than
ever to empower people to recover their health through the science of Ayurvedic nutrition.

If you want to learn how to eat to heal, I’m offering three consultations as a package at a reduced price to get you started on this journey.

This is not just food lists, you will discover who are as an individual and what your individual metabolism needs to thrive. I will support you to seamlessly incorporate these changes into your everyday life.

Consultations available online or in Malmö.

One definition of productivity: “the measure of accomplishments by the quality of the work, the number of tasks finished or the amount of product created” . .

This definition applied to us personally is the glorification of doing as the measure of one’s worth, by what “products” one can produce, one’s value is measured by how much they do and how much money is earned.

There is no place for being in this assessment of productivity, of what one can offer simply by being.

If I were to compare my “productivity” to what I was doing and achieving at 40, my self esteem and self worth would be in the gutter. And sometimes it has.

Perimenopause and menopause alter a woman’s productivity radically. This physical journey has slammed the brakes on my commercial output. The consequence? I’ve had to sit with my own internal definition of value and self worth and how much of that is still rooted in the heavily conditioned idea of external achievement.

All of this has asked me to come into a deeper relationship with the Feminine, what the Feminine actually means. Dreaming, creating, pausing, stillness, germinating, waiting, accepting, transforming, and most importantly, Being.

My female body right now is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, it is expressing its Feminine nature.

But look around, we do not value anything natural about the Feminine. Unless, of course, there’s a product to be sold to control and regulate that nature . . That’s valuable.

Perimenopause and menopause are another birth process. And just like physical birth, we seek to regulate and control that process to find its value.

Just like giving birth, perimenopause and menopause will radically alter us as women.
Such changes have the potential to be metaphysical.

But how do we respond to this potential?
We shut it down.
After birth, Women should bounce back, recover quicker, go back to work, carry on, as if nothing of value has just happened. . Like our pelvic floors and identities weren’t just rearranged. .

The same approach applies to menopause.

I don’t want to bounce back, train harder, lift more, push through.

I no longer want to recover from being a woman.

What I’m doing from Being a Woman is enough.
Daughter. Mother. Wife. Friend.
Maiden. Mother. Crone.

These changes I’m going through (and every woman) are of service to us all.
To my marriage, to my family, and to my community.

But we, and I include women in this, no longer have reverence for these changes. We do not value them for what they are. We do not see that the real productivity is the goods produced on the mind, body, and soul level.

It is path of the Feminine, birth, death and rebirth which is the most productive path of them all. ❤️

Over the last ten years, I have worked to expand my practice on Women’s Health.
Everything that I ask my clients to do, I personally practice. I know how my Ayurvedic practice has not only supported me, but changed me over the years.

Physically at age 50, I still have a regular menstrual cycle. I firmly believe this is down to my Ayurvedic eating & routine plus the hormone support that I do on a daily basis. According to Ayurveda, for my constitution, I should enter menopause after 50 and this is what is happening. Although there are changes, overall I’m able to enter this transition fully present and naturally.

There is something incredible that happens when we stay fully present with our bodies and our cycles. There is profound depth to a woman’s body intelligence, and I feel like I am student all over again as I pass through this threshold. It has not always been comfortable but it has been one hundred percent empowering. My sense of and connection to my self has become rock solid. Learning to completely trust my body even when I felt totally out of control anchored me in the one thing I always have (my Self) and I am far more willing to let my body guide me because of the immense lessons I’ve learned.

One thing I learned is there is a distinct difference between the intelligence of the personality which is usually based on conditioning and the intelligence of the body. The body lives in THE reality and therefore it’s guidance is always based on exactly what we need (not always what we like).

If we rely on the personality (and its fickle likes and dislikes) we lose the opportunity to change, grow, and most importantly learn to Trust Reality (held by the Body) .
We abort the opportunity to become transformed by the experience whether that’s through puberty, menstrual cycle, or menopause. All of them are an opportunity of becoming, if we stay present.

The female body is nothing short of miraculous and deeply mystical. If you would like to reconnect to your body, your health, your femininity, and yourSelf please get in contact.

I would love to support you every step of the way. ❤️

Perimenopause and Menopause are significant transitions for Women. But, what is rarely talked about is what choices we make in our late twenties, thirties, and early forties determines when we go into perimenopause and the severity of symptoms we experience when we do.

Also, if we don’t choose to intervene with dietary & lifestyle changes in our forties, this directly impacts our experience of Menopause.

Perimenopause is not an isolated event, it doesn’t just occur one morning when we wake up, out of the blue. It is directly tied to our menstrual & hormonal health and how balanced our Doshas have been over time.

I, personally, would prefer that every woman start a hormone balancing routine at age 35 to protect herself from going into perimenopause too early and to lessen the severity of the transition.

We don’t widely educate women that it’s never to early to support their hormones and Doshas and the profound benefits this offers, not only immediately but for the rest of a woman’s life.

The reality is what women do in their forties and fifties will determine how strong, sharp, and independent they will be in their sixties and beyond.
Weight gain, inflammation, and loss of muscle mass set women up for cognitive decline, bone fragility, and overall lack of vitality, limiting their confidence and quality of life as they age.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Through my Ayurveda for Women’s Health Package, I offer women the chance to balance their hormones, regulate their nervous system, keep their digestive system on track, reduce inflammation, and Dosha management.
It is possible to treat brain fog, fatigue, hot flashes, bloating and weight gain plus any menstrual cycle imbalance.

It is never to early or to late to reclaim your health as a Woman. Supporting ourselves now is key for the long run, all of us deserve vitality, beauty, and strength as we age.

Appointments available online and in person in Malmö.
