After surgery for deep endometriosis and complex fibroids resulted in ovarian failure and sudden menopause, I found myself standing at an incredibly tender threshold. I could try to push through my recovery, the way so many of us are taught to do. Or I could offer my body the medicine it was quietly asking for–deep rest, real nourishment, restorative movement, and a gentle routine aligned with nature’s rhythms.

I chose the latter.

As my energy and strength slowly returned, something else became clear. This was the same kind of care that had steadied me through past autoimmune flares and neurological storms. It’s what our bodies have long relied on to move through profound transitions with steadiness and resilience.

We live in a culture that teaches women to recover quickly, minimize disruption, and carry on—often without language or support for the depth of physiological change we’re actually undergoing. Yet I found myself continually drawn back to the wisdom of Ayurveda. It understands major physiological transitions as periods when restorative and rejuvenative practices become essential for supporting us through these tender times and nurturing long-term vitality.

At the heart of this work are simple yet profound principles:

My body recognized this wisdom long before I had language for it. That deep inner knowing has become inseparable from my work—tending to complex physiological transitions in ways that meet women where they are.

Each of us deserves care that honors the complexity of our bodies and the depth of our transitions—and I’m committed to helping make that kind of care more visible, expansive, and possible. In the months ahead, I’ll be sharing grounded ways these principles can be lived and practiced in real bodies and real lives, as they continue to weave into my own healing and the work I offer moving forward.
