Do you want to be able to offer more to your female clients?

Do you just know there is a solution for painful periods, but haven’t put your finger on it?

Are you an Ayurvedic Health Counselor or Herbalist and want to deepen your clinical tools for women’s health?

Seeing women struggle with infertility without getting answers?

Want to support women in (re)connecting with their womb space in a loving way?

Looking for the lasting fix, rather than a quick bandaid?

Looking for natural options that really work for healing with fibroids and cysts, endometriosis?

 

THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT DRIVE ME.

There are ancient tools that fit into the in-between places – the places between wellness and where Western Medicine seems too invasive, that women can learn to use themselves to care for their reproductive health.

I find the tools from Ayurveda and Maya Medicine to be effective, safe, magical-feeling and most importantly – empoweringThese tools can be utilized in all stages of life.

It is important to be taught not only the techniques, but the guiding principles, so you can truly practice safely and with knowledge of why, what and how they are used effectively.

I have used all of these practices myself to heal from painful periods, irregular cycles, and through conception, pregnancy, postpartum and into motherhood. I have had triumphs and failures, and still have faith in the power of these tools and experiment daily.

I believe every woman who is interested should have access to this ancient, yet relevant-than-ever and NECESSARY information.

“I came to class looking for deeper learning and ideas to support the women who are finding their way to me, but I didn’t anticipate how much personal time and attention this course would give me to my own being and body. Being connected to others and being part of a community of women was special, especially in this unique time of being at a distance.” ~E. Smith, Ayurvedic Health Counselor

 

From a past student: “Uttara Vasti – I cannot tell you how significant this practice feels. In a matter of months, my cycle went from starting on the full moon to now being more closely in synch with the new moon, and the impact is so tangible. I feel more Sattvic in those first days of my cycle, and just in general feel more of a sacred connection to my yoni + menstrual rhythms.” ~ Marisa

“I know that “knowing” and intellectualizing isn’t necessarily the intention of the Womb Healing Course and Ayurveda as a whole, but I find such empowerment in knowing these tools that Adena has presented. I mentioned during the last session that I feel less broken, and that statement holds true. I feel like the exposure to this material certainly allows me to “know more,” but it’s also in turn deepened my intuitive capacity, my ability to adapt and interpret the complexity of my cycle and my humanity. For the first time in my life, I feel like I want to be a mother a really embrace that aspect of my being. I’m excited and grateful, to say the very least. Thank you, Adena.”

From a follower on instagram: “I used Uttara Vasti to heal my womb and help my fertility after 3 unsuccessful years of trying to get pregnant, 3 years of western medical fertility tests (all that came back healthy) and the diagnosis of unexplained infertility and the recommendation of doing IVF. That was not the path I wanted to take (no judgement, just not for me). I dove in…and never looked back….I’m so happy that you are teaching it! I hope more women can reclaim this beautiful knowledge.”

 

“I am someone who was never taught to connect with my womb space in any way. A part of my body that holds so much power and knowledge was a complete mystery to me. Then I decided to join Adena’s Womb Healing course, without even really knowing what that meant. I heard the call and listened. Adena’s teachings opened a portal, one of deep remembrance. This is a remembrance beyond my lifetime, into times where women truly were connected to their bodies. Adena has created a safe space to find that connection in a beautiful, loving, deeply healing way.” ~ Lea

“I had a lot of personal realization ah’has…Many personal things are coming up throughout my pregnancy right now and these [things] are really helping me process.” 
 
“I feel a renewed sense of vigor towards ensuring all of my practices are incorporated into my daily life, which is nourishing to my mental and physical health!”
 
“You have a beautiful way of explaining Ayurvedic practices with clarity.”
 
“I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Maya massage and am looking so forward to trying Uttar Basti this week.  I am already feeling and noticing a change in my digestion since incorporating the massage daily…the Maya method has been amazing and I know that’s what it is because nothing else has changed (diet, lifestyle, etc.)…And in regards to Uttar Basti, I think I felt intimidated by it and having the clear, step-by-step directions with an herbal recipe gave me the “green light” I needed to practice this myself! 🙂 Thanks!”
 
“I feel so blessed and grateful to have been able to be a part of this course.  Infinite gratitude to you and the work you do.  Your teaching style was easy and comfortable to follow.  I got so much out of this course that I will be able to use throughout all stages of my life and be able to pass on to my daughters. Thank you Adena.” 

“As we discussed anatomy, both eastern & western, and some of the basic concepts of both Ayurveda & Mayan Abdominal work, certain aspects really resonated with me. I had a feeling of coming home, like a breath of fresh air, or of cool water on a hot day. I thought ‘where has this been all my life!’ and ‘I’m so grateful to have found this wisdom that is so much more full, complete, respectful, and free from ego and arrogance…”

“As a teacher you are warm, clear, and engaging. It’s obvious that your learning runs deep and that you have much to offer from personal experience as well as theory. I am nourished to know more tools to support myself and my loved ones; that there is a depth of healing and support for wombs out there, and that we as women can take that path as completely as we choose to.”

“I loved the class! …Just being introduced or re-introduced to the meditations was enough to pique my interest & give me some of the ‘keys’ I needed to further my own research.”

SYLLABUS

The Language of Ayurveda for Female Bodies

Dive into learning about what Ayurveda and Maya Medicine can do for female reproductive health. Learn the guiding healing principles from Ayurveda and Maya Medicine, and look at your Anatomy and Physiology from both the Western and Eastern perspectives. Think ligaments, organs and hormones, as well as prana, the gunas and the doshas, the dhatus (tissues) and the vayus and how they play throughout your body. There is opportunity to return to the introductory Essentials class (included with registration), and talk about abhyanga and pranayama (breathwork) as powerful life-changing tools.

The Menstrual Cycle and Ayurveda

Learn about the menstrual cycle and the play of the doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha. We will learn what a displaced uterus can look like, and the symptoms that may show up if it is out of proper alignment – and what Ayurveda and ATMAT (Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy) can do about it.  We will also discuss what an ideal, healthy cycle looks and feels like (So Important!) as well as important menstrual self care (including digestion and menstruation) women can do at home.

Hands-on Womb Healing

Uttar Vasti, Yoni Steaming, and Castor oil Packs for resolving painful periods, aligning your cycles with the moon, anxiety, and deeper pathology.  We will use our new language of VPK to know when is the right time to practice and share these healing modalities with others, and when to avoid them. Everything can be medicine or poison, depending on when and how you use it. We will use the language from Ayurveda to understand the signs. We will discuss the Self Abdominal Massage and learn corresponding marma points for utilizing therapuetically/sharing with clients for self care.

More application for specific pathology – seasons of life and these powerful tools

We will continue with very practical how-to from our last class’ introduction to self care practices, and include abdominal massage, marma therapy for digestion and womb health, as well as Sitz baths. We will discuss how to use these tools in our shifting stages of life…menarche, fertility, postpartum, mid-life, menopause and beyond.

BONUS : ONLINE | Rituals for Self Healing Course Access

Each student will gain access to my Rituals for Self healing class, discussing basic life-supportive and nourishing tools of Abhyanga, Pranayama and Nourishing herbal infusions. These are my baseline, most vital self care practices from Ayurveda, yoga and herbalism.-

GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

This class is taught live via zoom Tuesdays August 29, September 5, 12, 19 and 26 at 11am ET.  Each session will be recorded if you can not make it live. In each session there will be time for live Q&A with Adena to clarify the information shared. 

In my experience, the energy arrives just in the gathering, the attention brought in this direction by a group of women invite the healing to happen before any other action needs to take place.

Though there is a lot of information that will be. shared, I hope this serves to be an awakening of the healing power inherent within you all!

This is a program for women looking to learn real skills to use in all stages of their life, to share in their healing practices, to change the way they bring awareness to all aspects of their being.
