​​To hold a space of healing, presence, and safety for our kids​
the deep healing starts with us​

Hey There! I'm Karla.

Through miracles of birth and adoption, I’m the mother of three daughters  and I love it!   Mothering is some of the hardest, most sacred, complex and life-giving work I’ve ever done. 

As an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, Yoga Teacher, and MotherCircle Facilitator and Spiritual Guide, I help mothers navigate the deep joys, intense transitions, and complexities of growing and being family while tending to their own thresholds of physical, spiritual, and emotional transformation through embodiment, radical self-care, and community support.

I facilitate spaces of healing, connection, and transformation for all mothers, but believe I hold a unique space for adoptive moms. I'm committed to sharing accessible and practical tools, resources, women's wisdom traditions and holistic medicine that has been passed onto me by many teachers and guides.  Ayurveda and Yoga is where it all began for me and I keep coming back to some fundamental principles of this wisdom and science from India whenever I'm met with another transition or disruption in life and parenting. 

Transitions and thresholds bring up uncertainty and can feel disorienting.  I promise no easy answers or quick solutions. Instead, I join you on the road and am committed to helping you access your own intuition and medicine for your own wellness and aliveness, as well as for your family and for these times.  My approach is body-based and nervous system centered. 

.I believe we are never meant to walk the path of motherhood alone so I love creating programs within communities.  It's so dynamic and powerful to gather together!  Still, I also know how amazing it can be to have one-on-one personalized support when needed.  So I offer both in my services. 

I've created these services and programs for you.  I also created them for me because I wish I had had them through every entry and loss into motherhood.  And I do this for the sake of my own daughters, for the mothers who brought them into the world, and for all the mothers and women. 


Interested in knowing more about my background, credentials, and experience, as well as why I do this work, go HERE.

My approach and work  to supporting mothers is at the intersection of: 

MOTHERHOOD ​
SPIRITUALITY
COMMUNITY
ADOPTION
AYURVEDA
EMBODIED WISDOM PRACTICES 
CIRCLE WISDOM​

​We are living in uncertain times.
We're mothering children who are no strangers to uncertainty, disruption, loss, and challenge and they rely on us to be their anchor and healing space.   We also carry our own wounds and traumas.  Some are personal, some collective, some intergenerational, some cultural.   

Your true self, your true nature is a unique blueprint.  Each of us is one-of-a-kind.  As we move through life, we collect imprints through our experiences and relationships.  Some imprints might truly enhance our blueprint and invite a deeper connection to who we are at our essence and that influences how we connect with the rest of the world around us.  But other imprints seem to disrupt and distort our blueprint, creating layers of separation within ourselves and we might feel like we are stuck of out of sync in life.

You have everything you need to heal, let go of imprints that are not contributing to you, and return to your true nature.


I BELIEVE that healing starts with dissolving the layers of separation and disconnection within ourselves.  

​When we do this within ourselves first, we can be a safe anchor for our kids and participate in creating the world we want to pass on to them and future generations.  

​For this kind of responsibility, restoration, and connection we have to be in our bodies and experience our power, wisdom, strength and capacity for pleasure. 

This is where ancient wisdom, modern science, and  authentic, unapologetic self-care come in. 
             Sometimes it does take certain conditions to truly heal. 

This is also where accompaniment and a village come in.

For me, it's been very powerful to receive witnessing, connection, intimacy, and community along with knowledge and practice.   So, this is what I offer to other mothers who also crave connection. I believe this kind of care of for oursevles, especially together,  can heal through generations and across lineages because we are creating culture and change.  
  

I was entering my fourth decade on the planet when I felt like I finally began learning what  it means to have a body, be in a body,  and care for my own beautiful and intelligent body.

I wish we all would have had access to this knowledge and learned at a very early age.  

Wisdom and practices from yoga and Ayurveda were my entry points.  I return to them daily because they are so life-changing and remind us of our connection to nature and natural rhythms to return to our own true nature.   I share them with my daughters and hope they will learn to normalize taking care of themselves in ways that connect them to their intuition, power, and inherent wholeness. 

I would love to guide you through understanding your unique blueprint, your cyclical nature, and how to align to natural rhythms in and around us to restore vitality and a sense of feeling rooted in yourself.   

We can remember this feminine path to healing and wholeness together. 
It's in you.
It's in me.  
It's our grandmother's grandmother's grandmothers' wisdom.
​

So,  here’s what I desire.
I want you to trust YOU.   To remember your wisdom, and power, and aliveness.  To feel rooted, rested and resilient.

I WANT US TO BE FIERCE YET SOFT TOGETHER, inhabiting our bodies fully and experiencing the full range of being human and mother while we create a path healing and wholeness for our kids. This is embodied healing, feminine healing. 

I want us to nurture and nourish and remember together.  Heal together.
​
I want to create, bless, and sustain a community of women who are momma bears for themselves in such radical, hopeful ways that they are free and powerful in their care for others and their hope for the future as we help create the world we want to live in and leave behind for future generations. 

I don’t think that’s too much to hope for.  Do you?
