A Soft Return to Myself
Healing, Intuition, and Reclaiming a Feminine Approach to Wellness
Returning to My Intuition After a Season of Turning Inward
I’ve been moving through a quieter season—still teaching, still supporting clients, still deeply immersed in my own healing—but less visible online. This time has been about slowing down, listening more closely, and reconnecting with what feels true in my body and my intuition. It has been a period of reflection, softening, and coming home to myself in a deeper way.
My Journey Through Chronic Symptoms, Diet Culture, and Orthorexia
For over a decade, I lived inside a cycle of immune challenges, hormonal imbalance, and symptoms that no strict protocol could soothe.
I tried elimination diets
I followed rigid “clean eating” rules
I chased every wellness trend that promised relief
What began as a sincere desire to heal slowly hardened into orthorexia—a tightening around food and wellness that left little room for intuition, pleasure, or trust.
Stepping back from the noise gave me space to see the truth: my body didn’t need more rules. It needed compassion, nourishment, and a softer approach.
Rebuilding My Relationship With Food and Gut Health
As I began to reconnect with myself, I devoted myself to understanding my body in a new way. I immersed myself in gut health research—not from fear, but from curiosity and self-respect. Through slow, intuitive nourishment and deeper self-study, my gut issues began to shift. Today, they no longer lead my life, and that alone feels like a quiet miracle.
Deepening Into Yoga, Ayurveda, and Feminine Healing
As my body softened, so did my path. I followed what felt alive and true:
I earned my 200‑hour yoga certification
I began my Ayurveda practitioner training
I embraced a more cyclical, feminine way of living
Ayurveda became a grounding force—supporting my hormonal balance, easing perimenopause symptoms, and reconnecting me with ancient, intuitive wisdom.
How Ayurveda Supports Healing Without Rules or Rigidity
What drew me to Ayurveda—and what continues to anchor me—is how gently it meets the body. Unlike the strict protocols and rule-heavy approaches that once shaped my wellness journey, Ayurveda invites a softer, more intuitive relationship with healing. It doesn’t ask for perfection. It asks for presence.
Ayurveda teaches that the body is always communicating, always shifting, always seeking balance. Instead of forcing the body into a narrow set of rules, it encourages us to listen: to our hunger, to our energy, to our digestion, to the seasons, to the subtle cues we’ve been taught to ignore.
This approach helped me release the rigidity that once defined my relationship with food and wellness. It showed me that healing can be simple, rhythmic, and deeply personal. Small, supportive choices—warm foods when the body feels cold, earlier evenings when the mind feels scattered, grounding rituals when life feels airy—can create profound shifts without ever slipping into restriction.
Ayurveda gave me permission to trust myself again. To honor my body’s wisdom. To heal without tightening my grip. To live in a way that feels cyclical, feminine, and intuitive.
It’s a path that doesn’t confine you—it frees you.
What This Season Taught Me About Healing
This chapter of my life has been a teacher. It showed me that healing is not linear—it’s cyclical, spiral-shaped, deeply feminine. It taught me the power of:
Slowness
Intuition
Body wisdom
Rest
Softness
And it reminded me that true wellness doesn’t come from rigidity. It comes from relationship—with the body, with the seasons, with the self.
Why I’m Sharing My Story Now
I’m sharing from a place that is softer, steadier, and rooted in the earth-magic that grows in the quiet seasons of life. My intention is not to offer perfection, but presence. Not rules, but resonance.

Trust their bodies again
