Summer Digestion

Often when we are in the fiery summer season, we can be stimulated by the element “Pitta” and some of us will move deeply into our pitta nature (focusing intently, task-mastering, multitasking, and generally burning up with hunger) that by the time we sit down to eat, we practically inhale our food (guilty!).

Rather than inhaling your food while standing to save time, assist your body by cultivating your sattvic (balanced) ayurvedic eating etiquette, so that digestion can occur in a relaxed and settled state.

Sit down, be calm, chew your food, look at your food, be soft in conversation or be silent, and sit still for a spell after you eat to give yourself space to begin to fully absorb and assimilate your nourishment. Allow your body the benefits that we are searching for from your food. Eat as though you absolutely love your body - nutrify and nourish it!!

I've just completed my Ayurvedic Nutrition training and I'm so excited to permeate this through my current holistic health and nutrition practice!! I am now offering an incredible Initial Consultation (1hr) at $60 for the month of Feb 2021.
