Going into this training, I expected to learn a lot (which I did!), but I didn't expect to be utterly transformed. Growing up in a world that often dismisses or invalidates the experience of the womb, for the first time I experienced a space dedicated to tending and nurturing it instead. Katia shares her tremendous knowledge, compassion and deep caring through every single aspect of this offering. Participating in the Womb Ways Ayurveda Course is not just signing up for a course, it's an opportunity to reclaim your seat of power.

“Katia carries the wisdom of Ayurveda with deep reverence while infusing it with her own light and joy. Time with her feels like being held in warmth and love, where learning happens with ease. Katia is a true supporter of each person’s path, holding a deep desire for everyone to flourish and share their unique gifts with the world.”

“I am so grateful to have had the privilege of doing Katia’s training and being surrounded, supported, and learn alongside so many incredibly, intelligent, heart-based women/female-bodied people. This was a beautiful and thorough dive into Ayurveda that was held with such gentle, nurturing, and intentional care. Having taken many trainings, including with Tami Lynn Kent, Tul’ix Indigenous Arts, and the Maya Abdominal Therapy Collective, I can wholeheartedly say that I highly recommend Katia’s trainings! I think she is a gifted space holder, teacher, humble and yet deeply knowledgeable guide.”

“The Womb Ways Ayurveda training was a weekly highlight for me in the spring months. The content of ancient wisdom, that Katia so eloquently shared with us was rich & profound. The group of healers that gathered were an exceptional collective of heart centered beings. My favorite part of this course,  was when we completed~ a 3 day in person/hands on body work retreat, that held space for tears, healing, holding, and connection. Katia’s teaching style is intuitive, grounding, cultivated with immense knowledge and grace.”

Katia's Womb Ways Ayurvedic Class was everything I hoped for and more. Over the course I learned so many practical and beautiful tools for supporting women through the birth continuum. Katia weaves her deep expertise in women's health with lived experience, creating lessons that feel both wise and practical. Even through a screen, her nurturing, compassionate presence was palpable.

But the most powerful part for me was meeting Katia and the incredible women in this container in person. One word that comes to mind: sisterhood. Over three days together, we opened our hearts, we cried, laughed, learned, and witnessed each other stepping into our next chapter as carriers of this ancient wisdom.

As an acupuncturist interested in specializing in women’s health and fertility, I’m so inspired to bring these teachings into my own work. Katia is a gift, generous in her teachings, heart-centered, and deeply committed to this path. I'm incredibly grateful to have been part of this journey.

“Being able to learn from Katia in her Ayurvedic Doula course was such an honor. She approaches teaching with so much love, respect, and care and it translates into classes that are engaging and inspiring. The course content was well paced, digestible, and highly applicable. In addition to the actual material, Katia’s ability to hold a safe container for learning, growing, and exploring Ayurvedic care was invaluable. Her nurturing presence not only created a sense of community but allowed us to deeply immerse ourselves into these ancient teachings.I am so inspired and excited to incorporate Katia’s teaching into my own life, as well as into the care I offer to new mamas. I can’t wait for more opportunities to deepen my Ayurvedic knowledge with this wise woman!”

-Clara Miller 

This was truly the training of my dreams. A combination of deep wisdom, wholesome group connection, shared vulnerability, and tangible practice. Every educational day together felt like ceremony and celebration. I feel motivated moving forward to put the wisdom into practice, and carry forward the love and care that was cultivated in this space. 

-Aleah Armstrong

“I loved the Ayurvedic Doula training with Katia. Her teaching style honors Ayurvedic oral traditions as well as other ancestral and communal wisdom. Her classes feel like a real departure from the patriarchal, academic way of learning and instead the information is conveyed in a far more holistic and feminine way. Katia is also extremely knowledgeable in all things Ayurveda and she has an answer or line of thought for every question you could possibly pose. I left the training feeling like I had access to a new healing modality/philosophy to offer my clients and myself. I also left with an increased curiosity to learn more about Ayurveda in general. Also, the class on womb massage felt life changing in and of itself...I highly recommend!”

-Katie Simpson

“Learning from Katia is a gift beyond words. She is an incredible translator of Ayurvedic wisdom and an impeccable female lineage holder. When you learn from Katia, it is as if the entire Ayruvedic lineage and all of it's teachings are poured into your crown in their entirety. Her classes are so grounding, nourishing, and full of immense compassion. I could go on and on...”

I have benefited so much from your Ayurvedic Doula Training! Learning how to nourish my body during my second pregnancy and understanding the tools needed to have a healing postpartum period has been a gift from the universe. Your humbling power and knowledge is inspiring. You have a wealth of knowledge and are able to present it in a way that’s approachable and fun, allowing one to be able to fully receive it in a way that makes sense and can be applied to their life; whether it be as a mama, expecting mama, or a birth worker. Thank you with all my heart for being the authentic woman and mama that you are. 

-Lauren Egavian

I had the honor of being a part of Katia’s Ayurvedic Doula Training. Throughout the course, Katia shared her deep wisdom knowledge, and passion for Ayurveda in the realm of preconception, conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It was my first time learning about Ayurveda and I am beyond happy that I did. I gained so much rich information that I get to apply to my own health journey, as well as with current and future birth/postpartum clients. It was just the postpartum course that I had been craving ever since I started working with new families. I truly am so glad I took the course. I would be really excited for your next offering! 

-Chloe Pena

Katia’s Ayurvedic Doula training was a beautiful transformative experience, consisting of the sharing of deep knowledge, heartfelt emotion, personal narratives, and lighthearted laughter. Every class sparked so much new curiosity and revelation, and Katia’s knowledge and teaching was such a gift to be received. Moving forward I’m so inspired to continue my journey of learning from Katia, and feel empowered to put to practice the work that was so lovingly and intentionally demonstrated. 

-Aleah Rosaria

This course has been a life changer for me. After my second baby I knew I wanted to become a postpartum doula, and taking this course just enhanced my love and need to continue this journey. Katia is an amazing teacher, she is so welcoming, understanding and kind. She brings such light, knowledge and laughter to her classes. I am beyond grateful for her and all the other women who participated in this course with me! It has opened up my heart and capacity to care for myself so that I can care for other women, especially during the tender postpartum time. I would 100% recommend her course, and I will be continuing my knowledge with more of her courses in the future! 

-Ariana Pacheco

Katia is an exceptional teacher with a profound depth of knowledge and wisdom. Her deep respect for her teachers and the roots of Ayurveda is inspiring, and it’s clear she has studied extensively. Her teaching style is mindful, grounded, open-minded, and sattvic. I was truly impressed by her and by the other women in the class, each of whom shared valuable insights, heartfelt stories, and a rich sense of soul and womb energy.

I felt honored to be part of this virtual circle of womban. As a postpartum nurse and birthkeeper, I am committed to continuing my study and practice of Ayurveda to support my own womb health and the wombs of others. I’ve already noticed shifts in my approach to care and hope to incorporate womb healing into hospital settings. My ultimate dream is also to establish my own holistic practice outside of the hospital to serve women more deeply.

Additionally, I am excited to share this wisdom with my baby girl as she grows into a woman, what a gift ! I am so grateful for all of the love and energy Katia put into this class!
