Hi Reader,

As we move into the cooler, quieter months of fall, I’m reminded of the profound wisdom Ayurveda offers in helping us align with the rhythms of the season. These transitions are not only external but have a powerful impact on our bodies, minds, and spirits, often calling us to slow down, reflect, and recalibrate.

Ayurveda teaches us that each season holds its own energy, influencing everything from digestion to mood. Fall, with its airy and cool qualities, often brings the need for warmth, grounding, and nourishment. By making small adjustments in how we care for ourselves, we can feel more balanced, calm, and at ease during this time.

One of my greatest inspirations in this work has been my own teacher, DeAnna Batdorff, founder of The dhyana Center in Sonoma County. I’m grateful to have known DeAnna for over 20 years, and she has guided me to understand the depth of Ayurvedic wisdom in a way that is both profound and practical.

Her dedication to inspiring healing through elemental theory and connecting mind, body, and spirit has influenced not only my practice but my life. Through her guidance, I’ve learned that Ayurveda is about honoring the unique needs of each person while respecting the rhythms of nature.

Let’s embrace the season together and create the foundation for health that grows from within.

Warmly,
Mary Sheila Gonnella
Ayurvedic Nutritionist and Wellness Coach
