WHY AYURVEDIC CLEANSING?
Just as it is necessary to tune up your car’s engine regularly, your body also needs regular cleansing and rejuvenation to keep it healthy and disease-free. Ayurveda recommends that we cleanse at the changing of the seasons, when our outer environment changes, in order to remove accumulated doshas (imbalances) and re-set our internal environment.
The modern world most of us live in is extremely stressful and toxic. The art of Ayurvedic cleansing, known as Panchakarma, has been practiced for thousands of years, and is famous for its ancient, proven process of removing impurities, balancing the tissues, and restoring harmony and health to all levels of being.
This Ayurvedic cleanse is nourishing, gentle, and comforting. It is not a fast or a gimmicky fad diet. You get to eat as much as you want, and I provide healthy, easy-to-make recipes that are as delicious as they are sustaining.
The effects of cleansing often last well beyond the two weeks of the cleanse itself: most clients maintain newfound balance for years through permanent, positive changes in diet and lifestyle.

WHAT TO EXPECT
An Ayurvedic cleanse consists of 3 phases: the pre-cleanse, cleanse, and post-cleanse.
PRE-CLEANSE
The first 3 days of the cleanse, you will focus on preparing your body to cleanse. You'll eliminate heavy, toxic, and processed foods, add healing foods, and start building a healthy daily routine that will support you throughout the remaining 11 days of the cleanse.
CLEANSE
Over the next 7 days, you will undergo a deep transformation as you eliminate old, unwanted mental, physical, and emotional waste. Your internal organs will purge toxins and remove excess doshas (imbalances), and your metabolism will become balanced as your digestive fire heals.
POST-CLEANSE
In the final 4 days of the cleanse, your focus will be on balancing the nervous system and digestive fire, and rejuvenating the tissues. You'll follow a specific protocol to gradually return to the pre-cleanse diet, adding wholesome foods and beneficial herbs and spices to increase strength and enhance your immune system.

FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS
I feel MUCH more grounded. Communicating better. I lost 5 lbs total unexpectedly. It helped me take care of myself more, in all aspects. It was way easier than I anticipated. I felt healthy and happy at the end, not hungry.
CATY SHELTON / FULL-TIME MOM & YOGI / SAN ANTONIO, TX
My sleep has improved, I lost six pounds without trying, and I feel lighter and calmer. I also feel more confident in being able to continue some of the practices that made me feel particularly well. This cleanse is a good opportunity to scale back on all the ways we make life so overly-complicated.
HOLLY WILLIAMS / WRITER & RETIRED MILITARY / SAN ANTONIO, TX
I feel every cleanse has been different. This is my third one and I felt a lot of emotions and let go of a lot of sadness, resentment, and fear that I thought I had worked on but was still in my memory. I absolutely recommend this cleanse because doing the cleanse you realize how, through learning new breathing techniques, eating new food, and following a new routine, your body and mind are able to change and experience incredible peace, strength, and clarity.
PATRICIA ESPINOZA-WALLIN / ENTREPRENEUR / SAN ANTONIO, TX
I lost 5 lbs. My pitta has been pacified. My Lower back pain is gone. Taste and smell enhanced. Not rushing as much. By taking the time to reflect I have been able to better understanding my family history with food. I dealt with my issues of lack and fear of not enough in myself and in the food supply. As I moved thru the cleanse I experienced the Unlimited Abundance of The Universe. I feel cared for and embraced by Spirit. The experience of the cleanse gave me this insight.

MICHELE MONSEAU / ARTIST. SONG MAKER. VOICE USER. / SAN ANTONIO, TX
I've lost three pounds; but more importantly I feel more calm and settled. I gave myself permission to rest and relax and slow down. Each time I participate in the Cleanse it gets easier, while at the same time I learn something new.
