Hi, I’m Sierra, your Ayurvedic specialist
This isn’t “coaching” like you see on social media. This is ancient healing made accessible through a modern lens.
Ayurveda is one of the oldest documented systems of medicine, dating back over 5,000 years. It treats the person, not the symptom.
Unlike modern medical practices, Ayurveda takes the time to truly get to know and understand you in all aspects. The goal is to get to the root cause of the disorder. We are not treating you as a generalized symptom. We are looking at your unique genetic makeup and lifestyle, and making small changes that will stay with you for life.
This work is meant to identify the disharmony in your life and bring it back into balance.
We use the support of herbal remedies, medicated oils, therapeutic movement practices, and somatic techniques to treat you through a holistic lens.
My Approach
Body Movement & Somatic Therapy
The body is the most tangible system we have to work with. We begin by building a strong foundation from the inside out, focusing on the skeletal, muscular, and lymphatic systems. As we understand these systems and learn to move, breathe, and relax more effectively, we create the conditions for the nervous system to regulate and for true recalibration to occur.
Neurogenesis Nervous System Re-patterning
Learning how to build supportive habits and break unhelpful ones is one of the most undervalued skills in modern society. The systematic practices of the East have developed methods to train and discipline the mind not only for relaxation, but also to enhance focus, productivity, resilience, and long-term cognitive health. Many of these practices have also been shown to support neuroplasticity and may promote healthy neurogenesis, helping the brain adapt, learn, and evolve throughout life.
Gut and hormone Protocol
The gut is the foundation of energy, immunity, and overall vitality. What we put into our bodies directly influences how we think, feel, move, and show up in the world. Through nourishing foods, mindful eating practices, and digestive support, we restore the body's ability to absorb nutrients and create sustainable energy. Just as our physical body is shaped by the quality of the food we consume, our mind is shaped by the quality of the information we take in. Healing the gut is therefore not only about digestion—it is about cultivating discernment in both what we eat and what we allow to nourish our minds.
Why I don’t call myself a Spiritual Life Coach I'll be honest with you—the term spiritual life coach used to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. But after years of trying on other titles like mentor, teacher, guide, and even master, I've come to realize that spiritual life coach is actually the one that makes the most sense.
So although I am a professional Ayurvedic Practitioner here is why I wouldn’t mind it if you called me SLC, let's break it down.
Spiritual; I am relentlessly curious about holistic therapies and deeply passionate about yoga and Ayurveda. When I say spiritual, I don't mean floating off into the cosmos or bypassing reality. I mean studying, practicing, reading, questioning, teaching, and learning—day after day—to better understand the human experience.
My work is about taking concepts like purpose, consciousness, healing, enlightenment, and ecstasy and making them practical and embodied. Human emotion is one of the most psychedelic states we can experience, and yoga offers us a framework to navigate it, to discern between fantasy and reality, and to understand where the two beautifully intersect.
Ayurvedic Health Coach and Yoga Educator
Life; This feels like the most loaded word in the title. How could one person help someone through life? Surely there must be a generation or demographic that needs this work more than another. The truth is, there isn't. It is never too early, and it is never too late, to learn the skills that help you navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and intention. This work isn't just about optimizing longevity—it's about optimizing the life you're living right now.
Whether you're 18 or 80, building a career, healing from heartbreak, becoming a parent, changing direction, or preparing for your final chapter, these practices meet you exactly where you are.
Coach; Okay... maybe this is actually the most loaded word. No, I won't be blowing a whistle while telling you to drop down and give me ten push-ups.
What I will do is stand beside you as a grounded guide, helping you uncover your own answers and move toward your fullest potential. I'll ask questions that challenge you to think more deeply, more broadly, and more compassionately about your life. I'll encourage you to stay for one more breath, lean in when you want to run, and surrender when control is no longer serving you. The practices themselves may be simple, but that doesn't mean they're easy. Having someone beside you, someone who knows where to look next and what may be time to let go of, can make the process far less overwhelming.
Whatever you're working through or towards, Atman Academy is here to help you heal and optimize.

How long will we work together?
The program is designed as a six-session journey, with each session lasting approximately two hours.
We meet once a week for the first three weeks, followed by a one-week integration period, and then continue with another three weeks of sessions. This rhythm allows time for your body and mind to implement the recommendations before introducing new practices. Lasting transformation happens through consistent application—not information alone.
What can I expect during a session?
Each session is a combination of education, assessment, and embodied practice. Together we'll explore your health history, lifestyle, nutrition, digestion, stress patterns, sleep, and daily routines while introducing personalized recommendations and practices that support your unique constitution.
Depending on your needs, sessions may include breathwork, meditation, yoga therapy, nervous system regulation, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle coaching.
Will I receive a personalized plan?
Yes. Following your comprehensive Ayurvedic assessment, you'll receive individualized recommendations tailored to your constitution (Prakriti), current imbalances (Vikriti), goals, and lifestyle.
These may include nutrition, daily routines, herbal recommendations, movement, sleep strategies, and self-care practices.
Is Ayurveda supported by science?
Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine with thousands of years of clinical history. While not every Ayurvedic concept has been validated by modern research, many of its recommendations—including nutrition, stress reduction, sleep hygiene, meditation, yoga, breathing practices, and lifestyle interventions—are supported by a growing body of scientific evidence.
My approach respects both traditional Ayurvedic wisdom and modern research, using each where it is most appropriate.
Do I need to follow a strict Ayurvedic diet?
No.
This program is designed to fit your life, not take it over. Rather than asking you to follow rigid rules, we focus on practical, sustainable habits that support your health and are realistic for your lifestyle.
Will I need to take herbs?
Not necessarily.
Herbal recommendations are optional and only offered when appropriate. They are educational in nature and are always discussed within the context of your health history, current medications, and goals.
Is this a replacement for medical care?
No.
Ayurvedic counseling is complementary to conventional healthcare and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace medical advice. If needed, I encourage clients to continue working with their physician or other qualified healthcare providers while integrating Ayurvedic principles into their lives.
Who is this program best suited for?
This program is ideal for individuals who are curious, committed, and ready to take an active role in their health. You don't need prior experience with Ayurveda or yoga—only a willingness to learn, reflect, and make meaningful lifestyle changes.
The greatest results come from those who understand that lasting health is cultivated through small, consistent actions practiced over time.
Will I have support between sessions?
Yes.
You'll receive ongoing email support throughout the program, allowing you to ask questions, share updates, and receive guidance as you begin implementing the practices into your daily life.

Our approach is personalized, practical, and rooted in the understanding that no two people heal in exactly the same way.
We begin by looking at the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. This includes your digestion, energy, sleep, stress levels, daily routines, emotional well-being, environment, and current stage of life. From there, we identify the patterns that may be contributing to imbalance and create a realistic path forward.
Rather than overwhelming you with rigid rules, we focus on simple, sustainable changes that can be integrated into your everyday life. Recommendations may include nutrition, daily routines, movement, breathwork, meditation, sleep support, digestive practices, and other Ayurvedic lifestyle tools tailored to your unique constitution and needs.
Our work combines education with embodied practice. It is not enough to simply know what may support your health, the body must also be given the time and space to integrate, regulate, and respond.
The goal is not perfection. It is to help you build greater awareness, understand your body more deeply, and develop the confidence to make choices that support long-term balance, vitality, and resilience.

Ayurvedic counselling is for anyone seeking a more holistic approach to health, one that looks beyond symptom management and asks why imbalance exists in the first place.
Whether you're navigating chronic stress, digestive concerns, hormonal changes, fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, poor sleep, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, Ayurveda offers a personalized framework for understanding the root causes contributing to your current state.
This work is not about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all protocols. It is about learning how your unique body and mind function so you can make sustainable changes that support long-term health, resilience, and vitality.
Our clients are often curious, open-minded individuals who want to play an active role in their healing. They recognize that true wellness extends beyond physical symptoms and includes the quality of our relationships, daily habits, emotional well-being, purpose, and connection to nature.
Ayurvedic counseling is a wonderful fit for those who:
Want to understand the root cause of their health concerns rather than simply manage symptoms.
Are looking for natural, evidence-informed lifestyle and nutrition strategies.
Feel overwhelmed by conflicting health information and want a personalized roadmap.
Value prevention just as much as treatment.
Are committed to creating lasting habits that support lifelong health.
You do not need to be sick to benefit from Ayurveda.
Some people come seeking relief from chronic concerns, while others simply want to optimize their energy, digestion, longevity, and overall quality of life. Wherever you are on your journey, Ayurveda meets you there, offering practical tools to cultivate greater balance, awareness, and well-being.
