April = the cool, damp heaviness of Kapha begins to collide with the rising warmth and intensity of Pitta. 🌿🔥💦

We’re moving deeper and deeper into spring’s awakening… which means things can feel a little muddy, a little swollen, and then suddenly hot. So, Ayurveda says: lean into the bitter, pungent and astringent tastes right now.

These tastes help dry and lighten Kapha while gently clearing heat from the blood. This supports us through things like inflammation, skin flare-ups, sore throats and that early spring “heat” in the system.

(Southern hemisphere friends: you're in autumn right now, so lean into fall grounding + warming foods instead. 🍂)

Here are some April allies + why they’re our plant BFFs right now:

🫜 Beets (bulb + greens): support liver + blood cleansing while keeping things moving
🌱 Microgreens: concentrated bitter energy to cut through heaviness
🍊 Grapefruit: light, drying and helps with sluggish digestion
🥬 Chard: mineral-rich + gently detoxifying for the blood
🌿 Dandelion greens: classic bitter for clearing heat + supporting liver flow
🫙 Fermented foods: rekindle agni, aka an instant gut boost
🌾 Fennel Bulb: light, slightly sweet and aids digestion without overheating
🌽 Corn: drying + grounding to counter excess moisture
🌰 Cinnamon: warming + stimulates circulation and digestion
🌶️ Cayenne: ignites agni + breaks up stagnation
⚫ Black Pepper: sharp + penetrating for clearing channels
🌿 Chives: gently pungent, helps move stuck Kapha
🧅 Onion: warming + liquefies congestion
🧄 Garlic: stimulating + antimicrobial
🌿 Watercress: peppery + clears heat from the blood
🥗 Arugula: bitter + light for spring detox support
🌱 Asparagus: diuretic + helps drain excess fluid

I did it ✨

I am so happy to announce that I've just completed my first year at and I'm now a certified Ayurvedic Wellness Coach

This year has probably been one of the most transformative of my life. I have a whole new relationship to my body, my energy, and what it means to actually take care of myself. I am more in tune with nature and I have more compassion and grace for my journey and the cycles of life

So, so much gratitude to the teachers, the community, and the choices that led to this moment 🌸

More magic to come 🥰

I try to remember that my attention is an expression of love—and to place my attention where love calls it.

When someone listens to us with presence and attention it is an expression of love.

It is a gift of love I give with every encounter. It is also a gift I give myself —to be more lovingly present in my own life.

So when I ask myself at the start of each day, “What is mine to do” I answer myself “be present, be loving, pay attention—this too changes the world.”

Kapha season is that late winter to early spring transition when things start to melt… and sometimes we do too.💦 If you’re feeling a little heavier or slower, or feeling an urge to get things moving and flowing, you’re right on time! We can balance kapha heaviness with foods that lighten, warm and gently stimulate the system. 🌿

Here are some of our favorite Kapha-balancing foods for spring:

🧅 Onions + garlic → pungent, heating and help break up stagnation
🫘 Split peas, mung beans, red lentils → light, drying and easy to digest
🫒 Olive oil → a lighter fat that supports without weighing you down
🌿 Fresh herbs → help brighten digestion and adds fresh, spring zest!
🐟 Freshwater fish + wild salmon → clean protein that’s easier to metabolize than heavy meats
🍯 Raw honey → naturally scraping (lekhana), helps reduce excess Kapha
🌾 Amaranth + quinoa + barley + basmati → light, protein-rich grains that don’t create heaviness
🥬 Cabbage + asparagus → bitter, astringent spring veggies that detox + de-bloat (all the greens this season!)
🍇 Dried fruit → provides light sweetness when used in moderation
🍗 Chicken → a lean, grounding protein without excess heaviness
🍎 Apples or seasonal fruit → light, cleansing and supportive for digestion
🥛 Goat milk (or lighter dairy) → easier to digest for kapha than heavier dairy options
🌶️ Heating spices → ginger, turmeric, cumin & black pepper to stoke agni 🔥

This is the season to eat a little lighter and support your digestion so your energy can come back online.

🌎 Note: This guidance is for those in the Northern Hemisphere moving into spring. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, you’ll want to follow a more Vata-balancing, warming and grounding approach as you move into fall.
