Meet Your Guide
There came a time when I recognized that exchanging with my environment more harmoniously was the most valuable thing I could do in this life. Yet, as much as I had excelled in some significant challenges by then, in this particular area, I felt stuck.
So, a passionate search began, and when I came upon Ayurveda in late 1999, I intuited this was the answer to my call.
The hunch began to take shape as I became a clinical practitioner in 2003 and, shortly after, a teacher of her sister science, Yoga. Yet, it was not until 2014 that it all clicked for me. At that time, I began to serve as a ‘sherpa of sorts’ leading groups in inner expeditions for living in greater balance. It was here that my skill set for helping those who were sincere in their quest to excel in balance proved to be what I was meant to do.
Now, here we are a decade later!
To those new to this journey, ‘Bem Vindos’ (welcome)!
Please begin your exploration with a 14-day experiment of sorts. One proven to serve as a launch pad for kindred spirits is also looking for a more integrated, holistic, and straightforward way of living. And one which I’ve had the privilege to serve as a sherpa of sorts multiple times a year since 2014!
Exchanging with your environment more harmoniously is an essential skill.
Develop it!
Alternatively, a one-to-one experience is also available. Learn more:
Last but not least, to you who have been around for some time, it’s a privilege to be in your company again. Please let me know what you are looking for at this time, and I’ll do my best to meet you there, and, as usual, I will do my best to point the way in the direction you wish to go.:-)
In Kindness,
Christianne
