No words describe how much I love you mi hermano @pedropradhu 💚

I’m so grateful to have you in my life, cooking together all these years. Thanks for nourishing me with laughs and food🥰 you truly have the Midas touch in the kitchen!

How cool that you invited me to @imiloainstitute to teach and film a cooking class last July...a few months into the pandemic, I came ready for anything.

And project after project, here I am 9 months later by your side, celebrating your birthday today! So grateful for all we’ve been supported to create. Here’s to an amazing year ahead🙏

You’re such a warrior, beautiful inside and out...one of the strongest, most undaunted souls I know.💫

I’ve missed communicating with you while looking eye to eye for the past few years and I’m so happy we’re learning LESCO slowly but surely 😅 To communicate better with sign language and not rely on lip reading or texting...

So fun that I was able to “sign sing” happy birthday to you!!! 🤓

Perhaps one day I’ll become an interpreter 👌 #lesco #als #privatechefs #cheflife #cookingclass

“I have been dealing with chronic acne for most of my adult life, with no improvement.

I decided I wanted to explore some of the emotional factors that could be contributing to it.

I’ve noticed a significant reduction in the amount of acne I get.

I no longer get deep cysts, and when I do get any zits, they resolve quickly.

I would recommend Jessica to those of us who take ourselves too seriously.

Jessica is a breath of fresh air - she knows how to hold space for you, while providing a sense of levity to the session.

Under her care, I felt like my issues were not as insurmountable as I had previously thought.

The sessions I did with her were impactful and gentle.”

I’m a humble teacher…who will forever a studen

I’m a humble teacher...who will forever a student.

14 years ago I was drawn to Ayurveda, and continue to be, like a moth to a flame. ✨

As it can take an entire lifetime of study to truly master this timeless holistic medical science; I keep it as my main focus. 💫

Traditional clinical massage therapy was never really on my radar.⭐️

Although after graduating from a few Ayurveda programs; in Thailand, India, USA and even Canada, that simply weren’t regulated in Canada...

I had to go back to formal school in 2013 to truly create a thriving legal holistic health practice.🧑‍⚕️

In the end, I learned A LOT becoming an RMT. As we’re considered medical professionals in Canada, we earn over 1000 hrs of anatomy & physiology alone. 💪

This is the full duration of the highest level of LMT training in the USA😮

It’s served me very well, also as a yoga teacher, to know human anatomy so intimately (we even had the honour to discover cadavers in the lab 🥼🤓)

Now, add in my passion and study of energetic anatomy and Ayurvedic medicine. And I’ve created a powerful and unique combination of modalities.

One of the ways I do this is with the use of Ayurvedic assessment, pulse reading and Turiya~Transcendence therapy (unique blend of marma + polarity therapy) not only in every massage, but every yoga class.

This along with Abhyanga- warm herbal oil massage- are my signature techniques.

I’m honoured to now share this collective wisdom with YOU, under the guidance of my dearest teacher.

This is a special opportunity, as Jaisri will soon be retiring from hosting these trainings and will hand them over to me to continue.

Are you ready to take your healing practices to the next level of efficacy and impact?

This September, Dr. Jaisri Lambert is coming to Edmonton to host both of these certification courses with me as her assistant.

We are beyond looking forward to sharing these well awaited unparalleled authentic Ayurveda programs with you.

I’ve always thought surfing and yoga are so simi

I’ve always thought surfing and yoga are so similar...

Although, obviously surfing is way more extreme 😅

🌊 You have to be completely present in the moment.

🌊 Keep deep, rhythmic breath.

🌊 Be totally aware of your surroundings.

🌊 Develop courage and strength + flexibility and balance.

🌊 Find a sweet steadiness of consistency and surrender.

🌊 Come up against emotional, mental and physical challenges and overcome them with breath and dedication.

Holding my board as I warmed up today was quite nice. The added weight helped me strengthen and deepen.

Who woulda thought?

AYURVEDA FOOD COMBINING RULES… Can be complex y

AYURVEDA FOOD COMBINING RULES...

Can be complex yet simple.
One of my favorites, that I find most vital, is not combining fruits with other foods. Especially the melon family.

EAT MELON ALONE OR LEAVE IT ALONE.

(you don’t have to BE alone though, you can enjoy it with friends👯🤓😘)
🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

WHY?
When foods (that are normally digested with ease and pass through the digestive tract with little delay)
are combined with foods that take more processing (especially cheese and protein-heavy foods) They have to wait for the digestive tract to break down and digest those heavier foods.

While the melon sits there and waits, it begins to ferment, creating gas and indigestion, amongst other digestive issues. This also inhibits your body’s ability to absorb the nutrients of the food...not ideal at all!

So, next time you are tempted by juicy watermelons or other melons, consider eating it first. Then wait 45mins to an hour before you enjoy the rest of the food. Or eat it one hour after finishing.

HOW DO YOU START YOUR DAY? There’s so many ways

HOW DO YOU START YOUR DAY?

There’s so many ways to optimize your daily routine with Ayurveda.

Perhaps you’ve heard of doing self Abhyanga; a warm oil massage before you bathe?

There’s so much more golden wisdom to dust into your life...for example. Did you know that you can also perform simple energetic healing on yourself as soon as you open your eyes and by exactly how you take your first step out of bed?

You can also use specific colors, aromatherapy and gemstones to balance your subtle energetic body.

In my upcoming course 100 hours of Ayurveda foundations, we’ll cover all these fun facts along with the principles of Ayurveda.

In our live virtual classroom we’ll deep dive into the 4 pillars of life; diet, lifestyle, sleep and the balanced use of sexual/creative energy.

And don’t worry if you can’t make all live classes- it will all be recorded and provided. This vast science can be simply integrated into your life with ease. Especially with my guidance and support.

Basically you’ll form a comprehensive reliable toolkit for life as well as a consistent daily routine (dinacharya) to solidify this knowledge into a somatic experience.

Plus the confidence to share this with friends and family and even apply to your professional practice.

✨Daily and seasonal routines including the deeper dimensions of yoga, meditation and pranayama breath work practices.

✨Food and cooking classes- learn ayurvedic nutrition, the 6 taste theory, and how to cook easy family recipes and choose seasonal food ideal for your unique needs. Your kitchen will become your pharmacy!

✨Energetic anatomy - koshas, gunas, vayus, chakras and self healing with oil massage & marma point therapy.
