Episode 39: Using the power of Ayurveda to create balance between the body and mind

In this weeks episode, Amayra tells us about her journey from corporate burnout to becoming an Ayurvedic health coach. Amayra shares her experience of hitting rock bottom and struggling to find answers from conventional medicine. She then discovered Ayurveda during a trip to India and underwent a transformative detox program. Inspired by her own healing, Amayra pursued further studies in Ayurveda and became a certified practitioner. She now helps others with their health issues and emphasizes the importance of balancing the body and mind. The conversation also explores the three dosha types in Ayurveda and their impact on individuals' lives and relationships. We also discuss Ayurveda and its impact on overall health and well-being. We explore topics such as creating a daily routine, the importance of sleep, and the role of nutrition in skin health. Another import topic we also discuss the modernization of Ayurveda and the need for education on perimenopause. Amayra emphasizes the importance of making small everyday changes to improve quality of life. In her ‘past life’, and for over 10 years, Amayra was busy climbing the corporate ladder until she hit her lowest health point – she burnt herself out and ended up in hospital. After she was released from hospital, Amayra went from specialist to specialist to try to find answers to the long list of symptoms she was experiencing following her burnout. With each specialist appointment, Amayra became increasingly disempowered as she didn’t feel listened to – not one specialist was able to explain the root cause of her symptoms – rather, they kept prescribing her medication that yielded no results. Amayra started to question every aspect of her life and realised that her time in the corporate world was over. She packed her bags and headed to India to fulfil her dream of becoming a yoga teacher. During her time in India, she became very sick and through a series of fortunate events, ended up at an Ayurvedic clinic. For Amayra, this was the beginning of the end because through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda she was able to connect the dots of her symptoms, and find good health again. Because of her first-hand experience with Ayurveda, and realising the power of this ancient medicine, Amayra went on to study Ayurveda. She now realises that her health challenges were a gift because it’s something she had to overcome to get to where she is today so that she can share her message from a place of experience, love and compassion. In Ayurveda skin is the window to the rest of the body and that’s why Amayra is so passionate about helping women achieve healthy skin. She loves working with women and seeing the progress and transformation they achieve through their hard work and commitment to change. Amayra now understands that her Dharma (soul’s mission) is to help millennial women manage rosacea naturally and achieve glowing skin holistically: body, mind and soul. Amayra aims to empower women to see their kitchen as their pharmacy, sleep as medicine, movement as well-being, mindfulness practices as a powerful tool and self-care as vital. https://www.facebook.com/amayra.r.morales/ IG: @amayra.morales
