Our Story

I believe that nature is just as much a part of you as you are of it, and as a whole, the further we stray from nature (the earth) itself, and our individual Natures, the further we stray from our health.

This view is backed by two ancient bodies of knowledge that were independently “discovered” thousands of years ago, Ayurveda and Five Element Theory. While they have their differences, they both operate off the understanding that we are a microcosm of the macrocosm (nature) and anything that is happening in nature, is also happening in us. Just as certain places have their own climates, our bodies have their own predispositions. When these predispositions (your Nature) are thrown out of balance, it usually manifests in the body - and the mind - as “dis-ease”. And these days, it seems as though the first thing we do is reach for things outside of ourselves in a good-hearted, but ill-informed attempt to “fix” ourselves. Reiki and yoga provide us with natural ways to get our bodies back in balance, and to keep them in balance. So instead of reaching for your coffee, your bottle of Tylenol, or some ZzzQuil, maybe you can reach out to Prakriti Wellness.

No matter how out of balance you may be or feel, we can all rediscover our natural balance. If you feel a little lost as to how, you should know that I believe that bodies talk…and I’m here to help you listen. My job is to help you start a dialogue with your body so that we can work together to give it what it needs to heal itself. Together, we will hold the space for your mind, body, and spirit to heal. Together, we will rediscover your Nature.

With Love,

Why “Prakriti” you ask? Well, in its most simple definition, Prakriti means “nature” in Hinduism and is thought of the primal creative and natural force that is responsible for creating the world we live in (…this includes our bodies!). If you dive a little deeper, prakriti has also been used to refer to the “natural or original intended state” of a being, which is where we feel our best. Here at Prakriti Wellness, our intention is to help you rediscover your prakriti, so that you can feel your best. Interested in learning more about the term “prakriti”and why I choose it?
