From fatigue and imbalance to clarity and unstoppable creativity - This artist's Ayurveda journey is proof that ancient wisdom fuels modern healing.
Penny’s journey of healing and self-discovery led her to Kerala Ayurveda Academy, where she felt an immediate sense of alignment with the teachings—what she describes as “a clear ringing of a bell,” an undeniable sign she had found the right path. Drawn to the Academy for its authenticity and depth, Penny discovered not only profound Ayurvedic wisdom but also a supportive community of passionate instructors like Vaidya Jayarajan Kodikannath and Vaidya Sheena Sooraj, whose knowledge and enthusiasm deeply resonated with her.
The Healing Journey
Through her studies, Penny gained a comprehensive understanding of her body and mind. She learned to identify her doshas and balance them, addressing symptoms she once overlooked. Penny shared, “I could tell I’m mostly pitta and some vata, so how do I balance those?” This newfound awareness allowed her to recognize early signs of imbalance and take proactive steps towards healing. The structured and supportive environment at Kerala Ayurveda empowered Penny to apply these teachings confidently, leading to significant improvements in her health and clarity.
Creativity and Ayurveda: A Unique Connection
As an artist, Penny discovered that Ayurveda not only supported her well-being but also expanded her creative flow. “My creativity was leveled up — it was through the roof,” she recalls. With renewed clarity and balance, her artistic expression deepened, inspiring her to share this gift with others. This vision became Creative Ayurveda, a platform dedicated to helping artists cultivate health and unlock their creative potential. In just a few months, Penny will open a physical space for Creative Ayurveda — a wellness and creative studio offering Ayurveda, yoga, breathwork, and open studio time to nurture both healing and community, guiding others to create a life that truly feels good.
Penny’s holistic approach begins with addressing physical health, which in turn nurtures the mind and spirit. By helping artists overcome creative blocks and find balance, she demonstrates the vital connection between mind, body, and creativity.
Inspiring Others and Family Involvement
Penny’s story is a powerful reminder of Ayurveda’s potential to transform lives. At Kerala Ayurveda, we offer a nurturing environment where students can grow at their own pace, supported by mentorship and a community of like-minded individuals. This incremental learning process ensures that students not only gain knowledge but also the confidence to apply it in their lives and guide others on their healing journeys.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Penny incorporates Ayurveda into her family life. She practices “Ninja Ayurveda” with her teenager, subtly introducing Ayurvedic practices into their daily routine. Whether it’s offering spiced milk or specific teas to address minor health issues, Penny finds ways to weave Ayurveda into her family’s lifestyle, promoting overall well-being.
