As the air grows cooler and nature slows down, it’s the perfect moment to reset your body, mind, and spirit for the season ahead. The Ayurvedic Winter Reset is thoughtfully designed to help you restore balance, build immunity, and embrace the calm of winter—all at your own pace.

An in-depth, structured program offering direct support and guidance. This cleanse features a deeper detoxification process, personalized recommendations, group check-ins, live sessions, and comprehensive lifestyle, meal, and herbal protocols.

A 7 Day Online Program to Rejuvenate and Flourish.
This is a refreshing seasonal reset designed to help you emerge from winter with renewed energy and balance. Through nourishing Ayurvedic practices, vibrant herbal teas, and gentle self-care rituals, you’ll awaken your body’s natural vitality and embrace the lightness of spring.

This self-paced, at-home program is designed to help you cool inflammation, support digestion, and align with the natural rhythms of the season.

Strengthen your body’s natural defenses with simple, time-honoured herbal remedies. This self-paced course teaches you how to prevent, soothe, and recover from seasonal colds and flus using herbs safely for adults and children.
You’ll learn how to make your own syrups, teas, broths, and tonics, understand herbal energetics, and know when to use herbs—and when to seek medical care. Includes video tutorials, printable recipes, and a special section for children’s remedies.

Clear the heat. Ground your energy. Restore your balance.
As the season changes, so does your body. Fall is a time of transition—cooler temperatures, drier air, and shifting light all signal the need for release, restoration, and renewal.
In Ayurveda, autumn is the season to clear accumulated heat from the summer, calm the nervous system, and prepare the body for the colder months ahead. Like wind stirring a campfire, this seasonal energy can lead to inflammation, allergies, skin issues, insomnia, restlessness, digestive discomfort, and a general sense of imbalance.
This is the perfect time to reset.

What is Ayurveda?
"Ayu" means life and "Veda" is knowledge of science. Ayurveda is "the science of life". It is a complete healing system that is said to be over 5000 years old that focuses on restoring the body into balance.
According to Ayurveda, there is no one size fits all approach because are we are all unique individuals with a combination of the elements - or doshas - of vata, pitta and kapha. Because of this Ayurveda is focused on tools and practices to create health on a daily basis using your innate healing ability.
Balance is achieved through a personalized plan that can include diet, lifestyle, herbs, exercise, massage, detoxification and rejuvenation therapies.
How is Ayurveda different from other alternative health modalities?
Ayurveda stands out by focusing on the root cause of illness—not just managing symptoms. It aims to prevent disease at its source by understanding each person’s unique constitution and imbalances.
As the world’s oldest system of functional medicine, Ayurveda:
Emphasizes personalized care
Seeks to restore balance through diet, lifestyle, herbs, and daily routines
Views health as a dynamic balance between body, mind, and spirit
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, Ayurveda meets you where you are and guides you back to your natural state of well-being.
What can I expect in an Ayurvedic Health Consultation?
An Ayurvedic consultation is a deeply personalized experience that looks at your whole self—body, mind, and spirit. Rather than just addressing symptoms, we explore your unique constitution (dosha), lifestyle, diet, and health history to uncover the root causes of imbalance.
You can expect:
A thoughtful conversation about your current concerns, goals, and daily habits
Assessment of your dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) and current imbalances
Gentle, practical recommendations for food, daily routines, herbal support, and self-care practices
Space to feel heard, seen, and supported on your healing journey
Follow-up sessions help track your progress, adjust your wellness plan, and offer continued guidance as you build habits that nourish your vitality.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes! All consultations, classes, and workshops can be done virtually from the comfort of your home.
Why is healthy digestion so important?
In Ayurveda, we say: "You are what you digest."
While food provides the raw materials for nourishment, it’s your digestive fire (agni) that determines how well those nutrients are absorbed and assimilated. Healthy digestion supports:
Strong immunity
Vibrant energy and vitality
Clear skin and healthy complexion
Balanced emotions and mental clarity
When agni is weak, toxins (ama) can accumulate, leading to imbalance and disease. That’s why Ayurveda considers digestion the cornerstone of good health—because when your digestion is strong, your entire system can thrive.
How do herbs support health?
Herbs are nature’s medicine—gentle, powerful allies that support the body’s natural healing processes. In Ayurveda and herbalism, herbs are used not just to treat symptoms, but to restore balance, strengthen vitality, and nourish body, mind, and spirit.
Herbs can help:
Support digestion and metabolism
Calm the nervous system and ease stress
Boost immunity and resilience
Balance hormones and improve sleep
Cleanse and detoxify gently over time
Whether enjoyed as a tea, taken as a tincture, or used topically, herbs work in harmony with the body to promote long-term health and well-being.
Where can I buy good quality herbs?
I recommend the following trusted sources for purchasing high-quality herbs:
Sewanti
In the spirit of full transparency, these are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to make a purchase—at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products and companies that I personally trust and use myself.
My intention is always to support your journey with herbs that are pure, potent, and thoughtfully sourced—so you can glow from the inside out.
If you have any questions or want help choosing the right herbs for your needs, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to guide you!
Why should I practice yoga?
Yoga means union—a deep connection with our true self. While the world around us constantly pulls our senses outward, yoga gently draws the mind inward, guiding us toward inner stillness, clarity, and rest.
A calm, clear, and joyful mind naturally supports a healthy body.
When paired with an Ayurvedic lifestyle, a regular yoga and meditation practice can:
Accelerate the healing process
Support mental and emotional balance
Deepen our sense of connection and wholeness
Yoga is not just movement—it's a pathway to harmony, both within and all around us.

"I was very pleased with my consult with Annette. Her approach was very accommodating and respectful. She was thorough, pleasant and very reassuring when discussing personal habits and history. Annette was able to pursue a line of questioning in a manner that left me feeling very comfortable and reassured that she understood not only what I was saying, but also what I was hoping to achieve through her assessment of what would provide overall long term benefit to my long term health and wellness. Annette’s assessment and recommendations were very thorough, in depth and thoughtful. Her presentation and recommendations were done in a manner that was easily understandable, realistic and calming. I did not feel that I was being pressured or forced into following a program, rather I was convinced that her recommendations would benefit my overall heath. Annette went beyond the “jargon” and I was easily able to relate to what she was saying. Annette has followed up regularly and in a very understanding manner. I feel very comfortable in following her recommendations and feel that I am starting to enjoy the benefits of her assessment and subsequent personal recommendations for me. Thank you Annette."

"I was very pleased with the herbal salve Annette made for my eczema. I noticed a considerable improvement in just 20 minutes after applying the salve."
-Cathy
"I really appreciate the effort you've made to enlighten me on the Ayurvedic ways to improve my health. I will definitely incorporate them as quickly and as much as I can, given my late night sleep and errant eating patterns, making small changes and eventually seeing changes which will encourage me to smarten up. As a counsellor, you have a lovely yet firm and calming approach to guiding a person towards their health goals. Wishing you much success in your valuable work."

"I'd just like to drop you a note to let you know how "For The Love Of Tea" is impacting my life. I keep the book on my coffee table in my sunroom. This is where I sit every morning for first coffee and gazing out of the windows which set the mood for my day. It is quiet, peaceful and a moment of positivity. This is how i incorporate self- care into my daily routine. Often I open the book to add to my morning bliss. The photos are exquisite and pertinent to their placement in the book. Every one tells a beautiful story and leaves you wanting more. The book is laid out in a helpful way. For example; the other night my husband was complaining of an upset stomach. Instead of going to the medicine cabinet, I went to this book... page 10 and reviewed which teas might help him. In this case, I chose mint with a bit of ginger. It calmed his stomach and did so in a soothing way. I am looking forward to growing more herbs, processing them and creating recipes, (those in the book and my own as well) to continue my journey toward better health (mental, physical and spiritual). I have to thank you and Linda for creating this amazing work. It is truly a "labor of love" that I so appreciate"."

"What an enjoyable experience it has been working with Annette. Her calm, reassuring and confident manner puts you at ease instantly. I came to her for help with digestive issues. Annette immediately suggested some lifestyle changes that she could see were necessary. She also personalized a daily herbal mix that has worked very well. Using her vast knowledge and understanding of Ayurveda while suggesting the herbs in this mix she was able to address other health issues that she had quietly observed. Consequently, I have more energy, brighter skin, experience less thirst and have less headaches along with my improved digestion. A sustainable, non-medication solution was just what I was hoping for and she has certainly provided that. It is obvious that she genuinely cares about those she works with. I trust her opinion and look forward to continuing to work with her. I would recommend her services without hesitation. I value her as a partner in my health and wellness journey."
