My name is Amy, and I am the creator and founder of The Hero’s Journey Ayurveda. I am a 200-Hr trained yoga instructor, and am currently enrolled in Maharishi International University’s Masters of Ayurveda & Integrative Medicine. You may be wondering—what exactly is Ayurveda?
I can tell you from experience: Ayurveda is life-changing. It has transmuted my mind, body, and spirit, bringing a change I never imagined. If you’re curious to learn more about what Ayurveda is, hop over to the What Is Ayurveda? page.
Ayurveda found me during one of the darkest times of my life. Everything I had known had seemingly fallen apart, and I was left picking up the pieces. I struggled with severe anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. My body could barely tolerate food due to the constant anxiety, and I had lost 25 pounds as a result. I felt weak, ungrounded, and lost—like I was drowning in an ocean with no sense of direction.
Forced to move back home, I initially felt consumed by shame and failure. But in hindsight, I now see it as the turning point—the moment I unknowingly stepped onto the path back to my Self.

Seeking community, I found solace in a local yoga studio. One day, I took a leap and attended a yoga and chakra workshop at a nearby farm. That workshop changed everything—it was my first introduction to Ayurveda. I was captivated. Soon after, I began working one-on-one with my teacher in Ayurvedic consultations.
Together, we uncovered and healed the shadowed, wounded parts of myself. Rather than discarding the pieces of me that had carried me through the pain, we nourished and honored them. This process gave me the stability, confidence, and clarity I desperately needed.
Ayurveda didn’t just help me recover—it helped me flourish.

Your journey doesn’t have to look like mine, because Ayurveda meets you where you are. Whether you’re looking for small, simple changes or a complete transformation, Ayurveda has tools to support you. My mission with The Hero’s Journey Ayurveda is to help you find balance, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself—just as I did.
Send me a message below if you’re interested in working together. I’d love to walk this path with you.
