It was not until I found Ayurveda that I began to understand that the things I disliked about myself were the very things that made me perfect and were a beautiful representation of who I was meant to be—a driven, compassionate warrior goddess. Ayurveda gave me permission to love myself and teaches that we are deeply interconnected and yet so uniquely divine!
We are connected not just in spirit, but also to the universe and all its elements. We are vibrant like the sun, we are spirited like the air, and we are patient like the earth. The energies of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha govern the way we look, our likes and dislikes, our tendencies, our careers, hobbies, and so on.
It is because of this Vedic wisdom that we can see ourselves and others through a different lens, a more compassionate lens, a high vibrational lens, an enlightened lens. We begin to understand that self-awareness is a spiritual path, self-care leads to self-love, and that we are ALL divine, vibrant, creative, and loving beings in our very special unique way! These principles manifested into my passion project of expressing Ayurveda through body care and subsequently launching Kevala Skin Care.
Not only do I get to share this journey on a larger scale than my California-based practice, but I get to do it alongside my daughter, Regina. Working together has allowed us to further grow our love and respect for each other. As business partners, we complement each other's strengths. As a family, we support each other's dreams and goals. Living an Ayurvedic lifestyle encourages us to understand, accept and love all aspects of who we are in every moment, which is beautifully expressed in our work together. It also allows us to share our small-batch, homemade creations. The goal is for every person to feel the intention that we put into each of our offerings, which is “You are loved, let us show you!”
Bhakti Body Polish: This small-batch body polish not only has an alluring scent but is made with nourishing ingredients to help soften and tone the skin. When applying it, body polish helps to increase circulation while activating the lymphatic system. I love to use this regularly, especially just before shaving!
Body Oils: As an Ayurvedic practitioner, I encourage all my clients to practice Abhyanga (warm oil massage) as a daily ritual because it helps to balance all three doshas. It is a grounding practice that encourages deep self-connection and helps to ease body aches. Self-Abhyanga is a big part of my wellness practice and I especially love the luxurious feel and balanced scent of our Awaken, Rooted, & Surrender body oil blends.
Essential Oil Roll-Ons: Our essential oil roll-ons are delightful for those who like to take their wellness routine with them. Perfectly sized and formulated to recenter from all of life’s moments, they are easily one of the most versatile offerings in our line.
Shanti Moon Bath Salts: The scent of this formulation is as dreamy as its appearance. This beautiful blue bath salt has peace-evoking essential oils and helps prepare the mind and body for a restful sleep.
Citrus & Sage Body Butter: This luscious natural body butter is made with less than 10 ingredients and brings invigorating and uplifting aromas to your body care routine. Keeping the skin soft and hydrated helps it maintain elasticity.
All-Purpose Rosemary and Tulsi Salve: Crafted with the mighty tulsi plant, this all-purpose salve is a mom’s best friend! Not only does it help to soothe irritated skin, but it also helps to brighten and firm. I use it after washing my hands to keep them feeling soft and hydrated
We hope that you will find joy, balance, and acceptance when using our lovingly made offerings.
