The Prana Plate

The Prana Plate Food. Lifestyle. Ayurveda. From the tiniest ant to the most majestic elephant, everything around us contains prana.

Welcome to The Prana Plate, a space of creating, sharing and exploring all the good things in life that raise our life force energy, our prana. The levels of prana we experience throughout the day determine the state of our minds. Prana levels are increased when we see things of beauty, hear our favourite piece of music, exchange deep and meaningful words in conversation, feel the warm embrace of another human, take the first bite of a scrumptious meal or when we take a few moments to observe our breath at the end of a long day. Through our five senses we experience all the magic that is around us. Join me on a journey as I explore the sources of prana, with food being the greatest focus. It’s all about sharing and inspiring healthier food choices for a lighter, brighter, happier state of mind!

My Epilepsy Story | National Epilepsy Week 🇿🇦

I’ve carried this story quietly for many years.
Today, I’m sharing it on this platform — not for sympathy, but for understanding.

Epilepsy isn’t just seizures.
It’s silence.
Stigma.
Fear of being “othered.”
The loss of control.
The exhaustion no one sees.

Growing up, I was taught that hiding my diagnosis would protect me. And maybe, at that time, it did. But silence also isolates. It teaches you to shrink yourself.

If you know someone with epilepsy, please remember this:
We don’t need pity.
We need patience.
We need compassion.
We need safe spaces.

And if you live with epilepsy — you are not broken. You are not weak. You are not alone.

More of my journey tomorrow.
Thank you for holding this story with care 💜

It’s been many years since I had an epileptic seizure, yet even today, witnessing someone else have one sends shivers down my spine. I think that’s because I was once that person — and I never fully realised how frightening it must have been for those around me to witness it.

In my teens, I wasn’t open about my diagnosis. I feared being bullied, excluded, or made to feel “less than.” But years later, when I finally found the courage to share my story, I was met with warmth, care, and compassion from friends and family — something I deeply appreciated.

Now, I understand that alongside love and sympathy, the most empowering question we can ask someone with epilepsy is: “How can I support and care for you if you have a seizure?” ... because the scariest part isn’t seeing someone lose control of their body — it’s not knowing how to help them.

On this International Epilepsy Day, let’s raise awareness, build understanding, and end the stigma.

Stay tuned for my next post, where I share more of my journey this National Epilepsy Week 2026. 💜 🇿🇦 .southafrica

✨ The Prana Plate Spiced Ghee is Here!✨

We’ve been grinding, stirring, and slow-simmering something special… and it’s finally ready 💛 We are excited to introduce our handcrafted Spiced Ghee in two beautiful, intentional flavours:

Chai Boost — aromatic, warming, and deeply comforting. Infused with our traditional chai masala blend of freshly ground spices, gently toasted, then slowly infused into golden ghee for that cozy, hug-in-a-jar feeling.. Perfect in warm milk, porridge, baking, or simply spread on toast.

Turmeric Boost — golden, grounding, and supportive. Ghee gently infused with freshly ground turmeric, black pepper, and ginger, lovingly infused into ghee for a golden, grounding glow you can cook with every day or incorporate into your evening golden milk ritual.

Made in small batches, slow-infused, with patience and a whole lot of care to bring warmth, nourishment, and flavour into your kitchen.

Which one will you try first — Chai Boost or Turmeric Boost? 💛

Available now via our online store (link in bio): www.thepranaplate.com

2025… Let go.
2026… Let’s go.

My greatest lesson this year has been surrender.
So many moments of uncertainty — truly the wildest rollercoaster ride.

Thank you to the Divine, who showed up in so many forms — friends, family, neighbours — reminding me again and again that I am taken care of, and that everything works out… even if it’s at the very last moment. Wow. 🙏🏽

To everyone in this online space who keeps me coming back here to share — thank you too.
I am because you are. 💫

I was speaking to my cousin yesterday and we both agreed: 2025 was WILD… and it feels like 2026 might be even WILDER.

But we ended the conversation the same way:
We’ve got this. 💪

Lots of love 🤍

Ever left a mall (or an online cart!) feeling frazzled? That’s not “you”… that’s your senses being pulled outward. Here’s how to shop smarter, stay centred, and make sales work for you.

Conscious choices > chaotic carts.

Some days we’re carrying far more than we let on. And sometimes, all it takes is one gentle word… one moment of connection… to remind us that we’re not moving through this life alone.

Words carry prana — the subtle energy that can lift us upward or pull us down. So may we choose words that bring softness, expansion, and steadiness - for ourselves and for the people whose paths cross ours, even for a moment.

If you’ve been carrying a lot these past few days, know that it will get lighter…
and you’re not alone. ❤️

I’m often asked what I do for my hair — and the truth is, it’s not about products alone, but understanding your hair from the inside out.

In this 90-minute online workshop, we’ll explore how Ayurveda views hair — from its roots, to how your unique dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) shapes your hair type, texture and tendencies.

Khurma - a taste of Nepali Diwali tradition ✨

A few years back, a friend returned from Nepal with a small tin of these homemade treats. Even with the little they had, they gave wholeheartedly — and that’s the real spirit of Diwali 💛

I was so intrigued with the little spirals so I hope you enjoy this video on how to make this humble, beautiful snack at home. (Yes I know it's a little delayed 😅 but you can enjoy this cute little treat anytime).

🍬 Want the full recipe?

“तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय”
Lead me from darkness to light.

Every Diwali, we're reminded that the light we celebrate is not just symbolic — it’s deeply physiological and spiritual.

In Ayurveda, our Agni — the inner fire transforms food into nourishment, experiences into wisdom, and inertia into clarity.

When this flame flickers, we experience heaviness and dullness (tamas). When it burns steady, light (jyoti) fills every part of us.

This Diwali, may we honour both flames — the one we light outside, and the one we nurture within.

🪔 Lead me from darkness to light, from imbalance to harmony. Happy Diwali! ✨
