Ayurveda Coming Fall 2025

While Ayurveda is the science of life, for me sisterhood is its medicine.  Culturally and in community, this is by and large the work of women, in the care of their communities and I'm so honoured to step into this work in a meaningful way.  

As a child, before I could walk I began receiving regular abhyanga oil massages from my mother, though we called it 'malish-palish', a tradition I continue today with my own son.  When we would visit India in the summers we would grab the oil bottle and follow my Nani (maternal grandmother) around hoping she would would anoint us slathered with the nourishing oil, just like she did before her daily prayer each morning.  As pre-teen and teen girls, my sister, cousin and I would have sleep overs, oil and braid our hair, cover our pillows with towels, then mix up a haldi face masks and pray the tumeric didn't stain our faces too much! 

For me, this healing medicine of Ayurveda has always been rooted in community, and carried out by the matriarchs.  This is the hands on work of my sisters and mothers.
