Ayurvedic Wellness & Somatic Healing
Personalized & Holistic Coaching

I consider the opportunity to work with women  sacred and beautiful.  I'm honored to accompany you on your wellness journey.  I show up with all that I've studied, learned, experienced, as well as intuition and aim to offer what has supported me most--connection, intimacy, and a space of possibilities for you to remember your inherent wholeness. 

The time-tested wisdom and practices of Ayurveda, feminine embodiment, holistic care and an understanding of your own nervous system are at the foundation of my work. 

You'll learn to nourish all parts of you--body, mind, emotions, senses and soul. 

​
You'll discover your own unique blueprint, and get personalized guidance and support as you navigate all of life's transitions and uncertainties while journeying through motherhood. 

We make small, incremental changes.   Often, it's the slow and simple changes that create massive change.   

Exploring Ayurvedic wisdom and practices can change the trajectory you're on.  You will learn how to be a more active participant in your own health and life evolution. 



I believe....

​
When we live from connectivity and presence, we have a greater capacity to create safe, healing spaces for our families and those we care for.

First, we have to be in our bodies for any connection, repair, or healing to begin.
The ancient wisdom and science of Ayurveda invites us into this relationship and can offer profound body and soul support. 

My approach to coaching and application of Ayurveda is rooted in the feminine, meaning instead of relying on strict rules and restrictions, I guide you in how to make skillful choices  in how you nourish and live that support your unique constitution and vision.

​WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR SESSIONS

Before our first session, you'll to receive intake forms asking all sorts of questions about your health and your life.  It gives me insight and helps me know al little bit about who you are and how you got to where you are now.  Clients in the past have said this is a really valuable experience for them.  We'll chat about it a little before you dive in so you feel supported. 

Our first session will be the longest as we will review the intake form together, clarify what you'd ideally like support with and your health vision.  Next, we'll create a simple next step and schedule our future sessions and begin our journey together!  This can be really fun and revealing. 

In the second session, we'll  go over some findings from the first session--your Ayurvedic constitution and current imbalances.  We'll explore strengths of your constitution and some basic principles of Ayurveda to help you thrive.   From there, we'll create a plan with next steps moving forward.  This can feel empowering now that you are understanding your uniqueness a little more and what can support you.  We'll find ways to make simple steps doable and fun with habit science and imagination.  This will bring in habits and rituals of Ayurveda around sleep, nourishment, stillness, caring for the senses, mind, body, and emotions to bring you back to center. 

In the third session and any future sessions,  we'll continue to check in, modify or expand how you implement and integrate tiny rituals and remedies into your daily, monthly and seasonal life.  We explore what's working, what's evolving, and what feels like it's in the way.  We celebrate, acknowledge, and use journal prompts to support self-inquiry along the way.

In the fourth and final session, we'll acknowledge what has happened so far (a very important part in sustainability moving forward).  You'll have chance to return to your vision, notice what's working, and we'll bring in ritual to celebrate how you have chosen to nourish yourself.  Any additional resources or referrals might be shared at this time as well to support you and your desires.


​​NOTE: **Breathwork, somatic exercises, and inquiry show up in almost every session if the energy and moment calls for it to fully support your nervous system and whatever arises or wants to be witnessed in real time.   Sessions are interactive. This is not just informational.

What Others Say About This Work Together...


“The word hopelessness is no longer in my vocabulary. I feel like I am truly alive again, not just living.” --Amy C

Working with Karla was the best decision I made when I went through my recent big life transition.  She served as a trusted, non-judgmental place for me to go to work through the feelings I was having each week.  She was well-organized, professional, consistent in helping me stay accountable, all without ever putting any pressure on me to move faster than my body and soul naturally wanted to move.  I learned so much about Ayurvedic principles and practices during my time working with Karla. All that she teaches and guides is very sustainable. Karla is gifted with a natural intuition and "knowing" that contributed greatly to me during my journey of healing.  I never met her ego during our 4 months of 1-on-1 work together, as she has a keen sense of what a client needs to achieve the most growth, yet she went there with me every session, pivoting all along the way. --Amy Schornick
How the wisdom of Ayurveda has contribute to me...
Personally, after beginning my own journey in a 9-month Ayurvedic Living course, seasonal allergies went away, my hormones began to balance,  and my energy, peace, confidence and resilience began increasing.  I could feel all these shifts within the first three months.  The achy joints and deep fatigue began to dissipate.  I was sleeping better, felt less reactive and more present.  More alive.


My kids went from being in the pediatrician's office at least once per month fall through spring to once a year well checks.  (*My kids Nurse Practitioner was so impressed she joined my 12-week group program at the time).  I also learned how to use food, spice, and lifestyle as medicine with greater clarity and understand the unique constitution and tendencies of each of my kids. I found ways to invite them into being curious and to know their own bodies and listen.  As I was learning how to radically take care of me, my kids were seeing and feeling this too.  The investment I made in my own health and wellness was greatly contributing to the health and wellness of my kids and all my yoga students at the time. 

The definition of health according to Ayurveda is "to be seated in oneself". 
I felt like I was finding my center and accessing my own intuition in a way I never knew was possible. 

 As I was remembering how to be in a body, listen to my body and care for my body, I felt more empowered when in the presence of medical and healing practitioners.  I was an active participant in my own health rather than feeling like something in me was broken and needed to be fixed by someone else.   Ayurveda began to feel like it was my grandmother's grandmother's wisdom that was supporting the day-to-day, moment-to-moment, breath-to-breath living.  It opened my eyes to seasonal and cyclical living.  It helped me be curious about my own ancestors and their way of living and medicine. 

Life happens, of course.  Sometimes big waves hit.  
Ayurveda doesn't make us immune to life circumstances.  Bringing Ayurvedic wisdom into your life can certainly bring more flow to life, but it doesn't mean life is always easy.  I do think this way of living can, however, offer more ease and help use hold the tension in the opposites as we begin to attune and understand that we are nature and we learn from the cyclical rhythms of nature.  It gives us tools and resources to help understand the energies in our bodies and nourish our nervous systems. as we ride the wild waves of our life.  

Ayurveda is now backed by modern sciences of circadian rhythm and so much more.  
I like blending ancient wisdom with modern science to understand our own nervous systems and tendencies toward health and balance and how we go out of balance. (**Keep in mind that "balance" is a moving target and there is no perfect.)

I am so grateful to many teachers who have shared the traditions, wisdom and practices of Yoga and Ayurveda with me.  They have helped me find my center and my roots so I can bend and sway through challenges and thresholds of life and motherhood.
