As we enter a time of stillness and reflection, the Rose Dieta offers a gentle path to open the heart and harmonize the nervous system. In Ayurveda, rose is cooling, soothing, and balancing to Pitta — making it a beautiful ally for emotional clarity, compassion, and love.

I invite you to join a Sacred Plant Immersion with Rose Root offered by my friend and guide, Kristen Rhea Alexander. It's a week long guided journey held December 7 - 14, 2025 with daily rose-infused rituals, meditation, and reflection while ingesting Rose Root in various forms to build a relationship with her and integrate the plants intelligence into your being.

Last Fall, I experienced my first dieta guided by Rhea with the petals of the Rose and found it to be quite profound. A dieta is a sacred period of intentional nourishment and energetic purification to deepen connection with nature, body, and spirit. The teachings I gained still live in my heart. I look forward to sinking into the roots, embracing the wisdom of true love offered by Rose.

Why Me?

I was introduced to the art of self-care at 21, when yoga found me at a crossroads. It showed me that I had choice—and that every choice shapes the story of our life.

I've chosen the path of transformation, merging holistic healthcare practices with the art and science of ancient wisdom. For the past 45 years, I’ve been blessed to learn from luminous teachers and, as a teacher myself, have shared Yoga, Ayurveda, and Nature's Medicine with thousands of women around the world.

For more than two decades, I’ve journeyed through the lush landscapes of Costa Rica—guiding women into experiences that awaken the soul. Deeply connected to the land, the culture, and the rhythm of Pura Vida, I’ve curated retreats that embody the magic of nature's wonders. Each detail is crafted with care, every day's flow thoughtfully tended to, so that all that’s left for you to do is rest deeply, receive, and re-create.

My passion lies in witnessing others awaken their innate capacity for joy, crafting a life they truly love. You’ll be supported by years of experience and heartfelt guidance as you gift yourself the time and space you desire and deserve.

If you’ve been feeling the call to pause, to step away, and dive into the depths of your soul—this is your invitation to say yes.

✨ Join me for Wise Women Wilding — a 10-day eco-retreat in the Costa Rican jungle where rest meets ritual, and transformation unfolds naturally. Reconnect with your wild within, rediscover your rhythm, and return home renewed. 🌿

Have you ever felt that gentle tug inside—the one that whispers pause?

In a world that moves faster than our souls can follow, it’s so easy to get swept away in the rhythm of doing. The full calendar, the endless projects, the laughter with friends, the devotion to family—all of it weaves the beautiful fabric of a well-lived life.

And yet, something inside still calls us home… to our own inner rhythm.

That’s why I’m inviting you to consider taking time away—whether it’s a quiet day alone, a weekend retreat, or joining me in the wild beauty of Costa Rica. Because when we pause, even briefly, we return to what truly matters.

A personal retreat is a sacred act of remembering—
who you are beneath the noise,
what you value most deeply,
and how you wish to live this precious life.

It’s a time to reflect on whether your outer world still aligns with your inner truth. To notice where your energy wants to flow. To honor the upgrades, the refinements, and the quiet revolutions that come with every stage of life.

🌿 Nature’s not in a hurry, yet everything unfolds.
✨ Dare to say yes to the pause, to presence, to your next unfolding.

Just as the Earth turns through its seasons, our bodies and minds move through their own natural rhythms. 🌿
Ayurveda teaches us to live in harmony with these cycles, to eat, rest, and move in ways that honor our ever-changing nature.
When we align with the flow of life, balance becomes effortless.

☀️ Morning reflections from my journal…
I could have lingered all day in the warmth of the sun with my coffee and thoughts,
but something inside whispered, move.

That small “yes” to a friend’s invitation became the answer to my own prayer for movement.
A drive turned into meditation.
A hike became gratitude.
And the day unfolded perfectly, all because I said yes. 💛

Dare to say yes to what life is offering you today.
You never know what beauty awaits. 🌿

As the season softens and nature quiets, we’re reminded that everything moves in cycles — expansion and rest, light and dark, action and pause. 🍂✨
Ayurveda teaches us to align with these natural rhythms so that life flows with more grace and ease.

Magic is what happens when presence meets purpose, when an ordinary moment becomes a sacred act. This is the heart of ceremony and ritual.

A ceremony marks a moment as sacred a threshold, a celebration, a gathering with intention.

A ritual is what brings that sacredness into our everyday life a candle lit, a prayer whispered, a breath taken with awareness.

It’s not about perfection or grand gestures. It’s about remembering that how we do something matters just as much as what we do.

When we infuse our actions with care and attention, the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

When we bring ritual into our days, every day becomes magical.
