I found my way to Ayurveda by accident, really. Years ago, after a transformative time in India sitting with women teachers in an ashram, I returned home awakened—but completely unmoored. My body was vibrating with sensitivity and aliveness. I could feel Shakti moving through me, yet I had no idea how to hold her.

My beloved Igor became an important part of that unfolding. Through our life, love and spiritual practice together, I began to understand that awakening needs a body strong enough to receive it. Ayurveda gave me that missing container—a way to ground the intensity, nourish my nervous system and bring the sacred into the ordinary rhythms of food, rest and daily life.

Then I discovered Ayurveda—not as another system to follow rigidly, but as a way to mother myself. Through food, through rhythm, through understanding my own constitution, I found what I'd been searching for: a way to organise the chaos. To make space for the awakening without fragmenting under its weight.

I trained for four years (1,800 hours) as a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner with Yoga Veda, with clinical internship under KP Khalsa. I've also studied directly with Dr. Vasant Lad, one of Ayurveda's most respected contemporary teachers. That's eight years now of working with women in sacred transition—those of us touched by deeper consciousness, navigating the sensitivity that comes with spiritual awakening, and needing a body and nervous system robust enough to hold it all.

I work within the Ayurvedic lineage of non-dual Kashmir Śaivism teachings of my husband, Igor Kufayev. What I've learned is this: Ayurveda without depth becomes another diet. But Ayurveda held as ritual, as reverence for your own body's wisdom—that changes everything.

The Vitality Cleanse isn't clinical. It's designed for women like you—already awake, already sensitive, and ready to make your nervous system a sanctuary instead of a battleground.
