So, there’s this thing.
Maybe something’s been happening with your digestion. Maybe you’ve had this skin thing for a while. Your sleep has been off. Your energy isn’t what it used to be. You’ve been feeling more anxious lately. Or maybe you can’t quite put your finger on it—you just know you haven’t been feeling like yourself.
Whatever it is, you’ve noticed. And you’re wondering what’s going on.
Ayurveda gives us a way to look beyond the symptom, understand the bigger picture, and find a manageable place to start.
Your symptom isn’t the whole story
Your digestion isn’t separate from your sleep isn’t separate from your stress isn’t separate from your daily routine.
Bodies are funny that way.
Everything is connected — which is why Ayurveda zooms out instead of looking at one symptom in isolation.
We look at you: your health history, digestion, sleep, stress, food, routines, tendencies, and what’s happening in your life right now. And we start looking for patterns.
The symptom gives us a place to begin. The bigger picture helps us understand what to do next.
You don’t need to figure all those connections out yourself.
That’s my job.
We’ll start right where you are — and make a plan for where you want to go.
Your plan will be personal: your health, your life, what feels doable right now, and what will make the most meaningful difference.
And then we take it one step at a time.
Hi, I’m Penny.
I’m a certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, and this is the work I love: sitting down with a real person, hearing what’s going on, and figuring out how all the pieces fit together.
Then we find a way forward that makes sense for you—not some imaginary person with unlimited time, energy, and enthusiasm for healthy living.
In their own words
“I quite honestly can’t put into words how amazing the shift has been. I’m knocking it out of the park on how I’m structuring my meals and feel that my creativity is flowing on another level. I’ve felt so much more energy since I’ve committed to the changes. My sweet cravings and snacking have also pretty much disappeared!!!
This honestly feels like magic!”
Sierra L
“Working with Penny was a joyful experience. She met me where I was in my search for health and balance. I found it easy to incorporate her suggestions into my everyday life and have noticed changes in my body’s ability to digest food. I feel lighter, more connected to my body and empowered to make good choices for my body.”
Gwen P
"Penny has shared her wisdom and support of me as I start to make healthier decisions in my life. We have worked to address my immediate needs, but she also helped me create a plan so that I can maintain my success. I like Penny's approach, a 1 degree change at a time. This has made my goals feel obtainable and I am more successful because of it. I still have many degree changes to go, but I have started and already see a difference using Ayurveda practices."

Ayurvedic Health Consultation + Follow-Up
$250
Here’s how it works:
First, we get the whole picture.
90-minute initial consultation
Our 90-minute initial consultation lets us really dig into what’s been going on. We’ll look at your health history, digestion, sleep, stress, food, daily routines, and more to get a detailed picture of what’s happening for you now.
We’ll also talk about your Ayurvedic constitution and where there are signs of imbalance, so you can begin to understand your health through an Ayurvedic lens.
Then I put the pieces together.
Ayurvedic assessment + personalized plan
After we meet, I’ll spend time putting everything together and create a personalized plan for you, with a clear place to begin and a doable path forward. Depending on what you need, that might include shifts in food or daily routine, Ayurvedic practices, or herbal formulations.
Next, you give it some time.
About five weeks to try your recommendations
This gives your body some time to respond—and gives us useful information about what’s working, what might need adjusting, and what we may be ready to build on. And if questions come up along the way, I’m here.
Then we check back in.
Follow-up consultation
We’ll talk about what’s changed, what’s working well, what’s been challenging, and what makes sense from here.
Your personalized plan may include:
Food and nutrition guidance
Daily routine and lifestyle practices
Ayurvedic herbs or formulations
Other Ayurvedic practices specific to your needs
WHAT EXACTLY IS AYURVEDA?We are living beings in a world that’s always changing.
Ayurveda is a wisdom tradition that helps us understand how to live well within all that that change.
Ayurveda has been looking at human health for thousands of years—not as something separate from the rest of life, but as something shaped by how we eat, sleep, move, think, age, live, and respond to the world around us.
At its heart is a beautifully simple idea: we are part of nature, not separate from it.
And because each of us has our own nature, balance won’t look exactly the same for everyone.
Just as the world around us changes with the seasons and over time, so do we. Ayurveda gives us a way to understand those changes, recognize when we’re moving out of balance, and support the body’s natural movement back toward health.
In that sense, Ayurveda feels less like learning something new and more like remembering something we already know: how to listen to our bodies, live in relationship with nature, and care for ourselves as life changes.
This might be for you if…
Something has been bothering you, and you’re curious about what’s going on beneath the surface.
You feel pretty good, but you want to age well and support your health for the years ahead.
You’re entering a new stage of life—perimenopause, menopause, parenthood, or another transition—and want to understand how to support yourself through it.
You’ve started noticing little changes and would rather pay attention now than wait for them to become bigger ones.
You want to understand your body better and feel more confident recognizing what it needs.
You’re drawn to Ayurveda and want to bring more of its wisdom into the way you care for yourself.
People commonly seek support for:
Digestive issues and gut health
Sleep concerns
Fatigue and low energy
Stress, anxiety, and nervous system overwhelm
Hormonal transitions
Menstrual concerns
Skin concerns
Aches, inflammation and recurring symptoms
Building sustainable habits that support long-term health
A few questions you might have
-
Not at all. I’ll explain what you need to know as we go.
-
No. Some people come because something is bothering them; others want to understand their health better, support themselves through a new stage of life, or take a more proactive approach to staying well.
-
Nope. Your recommendations are built around you and your actual life. We’ll focus on what feels both meaningful and doable and take things one step at a time.
-
It depends on you! Your plan might include changes to food or eating habits, shifts in your daily routine, Ayurvedic herbs or formulations, movement or breathing practices, self-care practices, or other recommendations specific to your needs.
You won’t necessarily get something in every category. The goal is to choose what makes the most sense for your health and your life, and give you a clear, doable place to begin.
-
No. Ayurveda can be a beautiful part of how you care for your health, but there are absolutely times when Western medical care is needed. I work within my scope as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor and will refer you to a physician or a more experienced Ayurvedic practitioner when appropriate.
-
Ayurveda can support a wide range of health concerns, but whether I’m the right practitioner for your situation depends on what’s going on. If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to email me before booking.
-
We can meet virtually, or if you’re in Indianapolis, we can arrange to meet in person.
-
That depends on you. Some people may have what they need after their initial consultation and follow-up; others benefit from continuing care as we work through different layers or build on what’s already improving. We’ll talk about what makes sense for you at your follow-up—there’s no obligation to continue.
-
Ayurveda doesn’t start with a one-size-fits-all answer to a symptom. We’ll look at the bigger picture of your health and life to understand what may be contributing to what you’re experiencing—and what makes sense for you.
We’ll start with changes that feel both meaningful and doable, give them some time, and pay attention to how your body responds. If something isn’t helping or isn’t working in your life, that’s useful information. We adjust and keep moving forward.
Ready to take a closer look?
So maybe you have a thing. Or maybe you just want to understand your health better and take good care of yourself for the years ahead.
Wherever you’re starting, we’ll start there.
Not quite sure, or have a question first?
Send me a note. I’m happy to help you figure out if this is a good fit for you.
