• Birthday reflections 🎁 Spent this past Monday with my husband at a true sanctuary @civanaresort. Not sure I understood the true meaning of a sanctuary - a place of refuge or safety. My body, mind, & spirit seemed to be completely prepared for exactly that. Through a combination of spa time, being in nature, unplugging to the point of being able to hearing my thoughts, spending true quality time with my husband doing absolutely nothing- just being - I was able to access the deeper me and take part in some serious letting go. Who knew this could all happen in a matter of 24 hours. One year wiser and truly grateful to all those that helped make this happen. The best birthday gift I could have asked for - a deeper connection with myself which allows me to connect deeper with those I love! 🙏universe #loveyourself #befree #experiencelife #connect

  • These pictures catch some key moments during an ayurvedic detoxification procedure #panchakarma my husband and I completed last month. There were a few distinct phases that we went through over about 21 days. We started off eating home cooked food for a week prior to the detox. We stuck to mung lentil soups, rice, and cooked vegetables. We then continued with something called the dry diet x 3 days which included no oils, no dairy, no ghee, no rice; only cooked lentils and steamed veggies. This was to dry our bodies out in order for the ghee we consumed in the next stage to be able to get absorbed by the body. The next phase was internal oleation with increasing amounts of ghee. We would wake at 5:30 am each morning, drink ghee and wait till our hunger came on. That continued for 7 days until we made it up to 12 tbsp at the higher end with a 12 hour gap in reaching hunger. Simultaneous to the internal ghee we received 2 person warm oil massages (yes 4 hands; the best part) followed by steam for 7 days. This all resulted in virechan (a laxative treatment) to eliminate pitta dosha from the body - determined by the direction the doshas traveled. We continued with a very graduated diet and slowly got back on track as our digestive fire got rekindled. 2 of my amazing colleagues led us through this procedure so we could completely surrender. We each lost 15 lbs and a fair amount of inches. This is the second time we were able to undergo these treatments together. We feel fortunate to all of those that made it possible! 💚you all! @lunavivaananda (helping get the ghee down every morning at 5:30am) @finer.jewelry (helping with Veda) @poojahimovich (been there,done it! could relate) @freespirited_esthetics (keeping the clinic going) @mariaenergyguru (her intuitive powers) @omkarayurveda (amazing guidance) @lmarathay (out of the world head massage) @mirkaat (reminding me of my purpose in cleansing) @ynesh79 (my rock, my love, and such a trooper when it came to all the treatments and everything asked of him!) #cleanseyourbody #strongdetermination #ayurvedictreatment

  • All the glow a woman needs in this signature facial created by @ayybayybayyitstayy. If you loved our diy facial bar or received an Ayurvedic mini facial you are in for a treat with this luxurious signature Ayurvedic facial using @paavaniayurveda products. My favorite part was the warm oil massage while I masked and the chilled Gua Sha stone to reduce inflammation & promote blood flow. We don’t realize how much a facial can be exactly what you might need to de-stress. In fact I slept like a baby the night I received my facial. Now, who can say that after a facial? It’s our secret sauce. Read about this step by step facial in our newest blog post written by Taylor Ruich, esthetician.
