Quick Intro
Namasté and welcome!
I’m Lisa, the creator of this Ayurvedic food, health, and wellness platform, where I blend delicious recipes with ancient wisdom to support your journey to optimal well-being.
As an Ayurvedic cook, doula, and psychologist, my passion lies in inspiring and educating you to reclaim your highest health through Ayurvedic principles and practices. I invite you to join me on this transformative path, where small, intentional changes to your diet and lifestyle can lead to greater vitality, balance, and happiness.
With my background in psychology and Ayurveda, I offer guidance and support to help you reconnect with your innate equilibrium. My mission is to help you restore your connection to your “true nature” by not only nourishing your body but also nurturing your mind and soul.
Believing in the power of cooking and baking with love, I share my insights through my blog, Ayurvedic cooking and baking classes, workshops, private sessions, and consultations. I also offer specialized support for fertility, conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care, helping you embrace every stage of life with greater harmony and wellness.
My Ayurvedic Doula Path
How I Became an Ayurvedic doula & why it is my dharma
Ayurveda found me at a time when I needed it most.
While pursuing my master’s degree in Psychology and juggling up to three jobs, I was given the opportunity to cook for a Yogi catering service. That moment sparked a deep and lasting connection—one that has grown into over a decade of Ayurvedic cooking experience. I couldn’t imagine my life without Ayurveda; it has been a guiding light and a source of profound healing.
You might wonder: How did I go from studying Psychology to Ayurvedic cooking—and then to becoming a doula?
Ayurveda is vast. It’s the science of life itself, encompassing eight branches, including Psychology, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, Toxicology, Geriatrics, and Aphrodisiac Therapy. Within this wisdom lies the sacred knowledge of conscious conception, pregnancy, and postpartum care—something that has always resonated deeply with me.
I have immense respect for every mother. I’ve seen firsthand—through my own mother and dear friends—how the focus is often on birth as the "big event," while the mother is left behind, forgotten by society. There are gaps in our system, and as we drift further from our true nature, we need a community that nurtures, heals, and aligns with nature’s rhythms. The journey of carrying and birthing another soul is one of the greatest offerings—and yet, it often lacks the warmth and support it truly deserves.
I felt an inner calling I couldn’t ignore…
One of my Ayurveda mentors once analyzed my Jyotish chart (ancient Vedic astrology) and confirmed what I had always felt in my heart: I am meant to work with women. To me, caring for the earth begins with caring for women and birth. Our first mother is nature herself, and honoring her means honoring the divine women who bring life into this world.
At times, I’ve felt as though I was swimming in the vast ocean of Ayurveda, but when I support pregnant women and their families, I feel completely at home. This is my dharma. This is my path.
And I want you to feel deeply loved and nourished—as if Mother Nature herself is embracing you. Because you are nature. You are just as magical, majestic, and regenerative as she is.
You are divine, and you don’t have to walk this path alone.
I am here for you.
Let’s embrace this journey together.
With love,
Lisa
My Entire Ayurveda Journey
HOW Ayurveda HAS changed my life
From a young age, food fascinated me. As a toddler, I experimented with my own cake recipes, mixing flour and herbs from the garden. My mother called me an alchemist. But at age four, I was put on my first diet due to severe neurodermatitis, forcing me to give up sweets—my greatest love. Throughout my childhood, I battled chronic illness: migraines, eczema, tonsillitis, and even a severe lung infection. No diet, superfood, or medication could fully heal me. My energy remained low, my digestion was weak, and my skin looked dull.
Still, my love for food persisted. Working in my great aunt’s bakery in Mexico encouraged me to pursue cooking further. I trained in Austria’s culinary school, worked in the food industry, and studied Psychology in Vienna—all while juggling jobs in HR and an Indian restaurant. But the constant overworking took its toll. Then, fate intervened—I was invited to cook for an Ayurvedic catering service. That’s when I met my first Ayurveda teacher and stepped into an Ayurvedic kitchen for the first time.
From that moment, everything clicked. Ayurveda helped me reclaim my health and live in alignment with my true nature. My migraines vanished, my energy soared, and sickness became rare. The holistic wisdom of Ayurveda didn’t just treat symptoms—it uncovered the root causes, recognizing the deep connections between body, mind, and spirit.
My journey led me to realize that Psychology was only one piece of a much larger puzzle. Western medicine separates the body into different specialists—one for digestion, one for skin, another for mental health. But Ayurveda sees the whole person, finding links between bloating and depression, heartburn and anxiety, acne and anger. It’s about restoring balance, understanding that no two people are the same, and honoring what your body truly needs.
You don’t need the latest diet trend—you need to listen. Just as animals instinctively know what nourishes them, we can reconnect with our inner wisdom. This realization inspired me to integrate Psychology with Ayurveda and share my passion for healing food through this blog.
Take what resonates with your heart. Cooking and baking should be infused with love, as reflected in the old German word for dessert, Liebesgabe—a "gift of love." If you've encountered Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work with water or the Mexican tale Como Agua Para Chocolate, you’ll understand how emotions shape the energy of food. My teachers have taught me that listening to mantras or uplifting music while cooking can harmonize our emotional state, infusing meals with positive energy.
“You are what you eat,” the old saying goes. Ayurveda takes it further: You are what you can digest. This applies not just to food, but to everything we consume—physically, mentally, emotionally. You hold the power to choose what nourishes you.
Through my website, I share Ayurveda’s timeless wisdom—tips, recipes, and insights—to help you cultivate a lifestyle that allows your mind, body, and soul to truly thrive.
“The most durable act in a harsh and hungry world is found in Caring. Caring for our earthly home and its vast, diverse family - the human, the wild and the dying. Caring for who’s sick, forgotten and lonely and putting our hearts out there to shrink the margins. Caring to the point of seeing a need and doing something about it. Caring is such soft, potent power. Once it ignites, it spreads like fire.”
