"Whatever arises, love that".

Hi! My name's Blake, and I'm a silly, old soul.

Ayurveda (Indian for "the Way of Life") is my path, purpose, and passion! 7,000 years old, it is the mother of all healing systems, and just beautiful. I offer private cooking, personal and community cooking classes, nutritional counseling, and bodywork. I make ghee, and I love my life.

In truth, I am about as lovable and respectful as they get, and will bring only wellness and warmth into your home. Let's connect.

To offer and receive | to connect and drop in

Currently, I'm studying Ayurveda and Qi Gong with a few international teachers. As I am not much of money, couch surfing helps make this possible.
