Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!
I'm Karla and I support women navigating the thresholds that undo and reshape us—especially those moving through motherhood, caregiving, loss, and life transitions that ask us to become someone new.
I believe women’s bodies are wise.
I believe the nervous system tells the truth.
And I believe healing happens when we are met with care, attention, and rhythm.
Much of my work is devoted to the spaces our culture doesn’t know how to hold: the in-between seasons, the quiet grief, the exhaustion that comes from long responsibility, and the deep longing to feel like ourselves again. Motherhood—at any stage—is one of the most powerful thresholds, often entered without the adequate care and support, ritual, or the integration it deserves.
As mothers, we often feel like we are navigating the underworld experience while trying to hold our children above. It can feel isolating–but you are not alone. You deserve to be seen, heard and held.
For over 15 years, I’ve studied and practiced Ayurveda, yoga, and energetic and somatic healing as pathways back to center—ways of restoring rhythm, rebuilding vitality, and learning how to live inside our bodies again. I work with women who are wise, doing amazing things in life, work and motherhood, devoted, and often so tired–physically, mentally, spiritually. I help them cultivate steady rhythm, resilience, and a felt sense of well-being so they can carry out their creative work as women and mothers in the world.
My own life has been shaped by decades of mothering, caregiving, loss, and overlapping transitions. These experiences inform how I listen, how I pace the work, and how deeply I trust the body’s capacity to heal and know what it needs when given the right conditions. The time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda is foundational to all that I do.
An Ayurvedic lifestyle is one that aligns with nature and the changing seasons, supporting the natural rhythms of our physiology. It understands universal rhythms while honoring and responding to your unique constitution and current balances or imbalances in body, mind and spirit. It is never about being perfect or doing it right. It is a map back to your true nature and aliveness–even in seasons when you are moving through grief, sadness, or the unknown. This is the full spectrum of being human.
Ayurveda has profoundly influenced me and supported me through my own journey, especially while navigating difficult transitions. While it is a vast and complex science and system of medicine, its foundational principles are simple, practical, and full of wisdom.
I offer circles, courses, workshops, and one-on-one support that weave together Ayurvedic wisdom, nervous system care and understanding, and embodied practices—all designed to be lived, not perfected. I see health as an evolution and know healing is not a linear path.
It is an honor to walk alongside women as they root, reorient, and live from center.I live in Durham, North Carolina and work both online and in person.
