About the Studio
Creative Ayurveda is a growing wellness and creativity studio rooted in the wisdom of Ayurveda.
Here, you’ll find 1:1 Ayurvedic consultations, yoga, Reiki, breathwork, and a welcoming space for creative gatherings and community events.
We’re building this from the ground up — adding offerings and shaping a space that supports whole-being wellness. It’s very much a work in progress, and we’d love for you to join us as it grows.

Grace Blanchard is a retired nurse with an extensive background in hospice care. Throughout her career she provided education and support for healthcare professionals, patients, and families dealing with death and grief. Nursing, especially hospice nursing, is emotionally exhausting work. Years ago Grace discovered creative play with paper, scissors, and glue could calm her mind and refresh her spirit. The craft table became a sacred space. Grace is bringing together her experience in nursing and art to “Sunday Mourning,” a group that uses creative play to navigate the path of death and grief.
