This gentle, home Ayurvedic cleanse is designed to rid the body of accumulated toxins, restore mental and spiritual energy, and reset your digestion and metabolism. You can improve your daily habits and renew yourself on all levels through this 9 day journey.
This Ayurvedic Reset happens in three phases
Phase I: Prepare
In this stage we ready the body and mind for cleansing. We'll meet together a week before to go over the protocols and supply list. Then we'll gather our supplies and plan our Reset. We'll set our intentions, as we begin to eliminate some hard to digest foods, while attending to proper hydration and nourishment of the body mind and spirit. We begin to take some gentle Ayurvedic herbs to support digestion and elimination.
Phase II: Cleanse and Detoxify
In this phase we eat a simple, cooked, easy to digest diet and continue of herbal support, and we prioritize rest and relaxation. We'll meet part way through this week for support and Q and A, and enjoy recorded relaxation and gentle yoga to help the bodymind to relax, open and let go.
Phase III: Ease Back
In this phase, we ease back to a whole foods diet. This is arguably the most important part of the process--sealing in the good effects of the digestive reset and re-nourishing the body after the simple cleansing diet. We'll continue with some simple herbs to support digestion and elimination and add in a spring tonic.

How is an Ayurvedic Cleanse Different from Other Cleanses?
1. We prepare the body to cleanse, and also ease out of the cleansing diet. Jumping into and out of a cleanse can undo some of the good effects and even be harmful. Ayurveda’s emphasis on nourishing routine with the cleansing diet and protocols brings a more balanced and smoother experience.
2. In addition to cleansing, we focus on a calming and nourishing daily routine to augment where you need support, which feels great and allows for a deeper release of what's no longer needed.
3. Ayurveda is multidimensional and recognizes that the most important organ to support, nourish and detoxify is our mind.
4. You can work and do your normal activities while you cleanse! We do recommend that you schedule in as much downtime as you can during cleanse week for maximum benefit.
* Please Note: This cleanse is for people in generally good health. It's not appropriate for pregnant or nursing moms or for children under the age of 16. If in doubt about whether this cleanse is appropriate for you, consult with your health-care practitioner and with Shannon.

“I had a good experience. My skin and eyes looked brighter and I lost weight. I felt like I got out of the habit of snacking when not really hungry and developed a better routine around eating.”
Past Participant Results:
Spring 2020 participant
"“Shannon was thoughtful and very informative, peppering the teachings with the occasional dose of humor. She listened to each person’s questions and concerns and responded in depth. Her calm and peacefulness were contagious. Taking the course had a very positive impact on my sense of wellbeing. I now take better care of my true needs and have a better sense of why and when tweaking needs to happen.”
Spring 2020 participant
“My experience was much more profound than anticipated. I’m feeling great! I’ve been checking my blood sugar and my readings have consistently been fantastic. My energy level has increased and I have been able to maintain it throughout the day. I feel it was a real eye-opening experience to be able to make some real changes which I plan on continuing after the cleanse.”
FAQs:
Q. How will the cleanse affect my energy? Will I be able to work?
A. YES, while we do encourage you to let go of unessential activities during the cleansing period, this cleanse is designed for you to be able to continue your normal activities.
Q. Will I be hungry?
A. No. We’ll be eating 3 meals a day with some simple options for snacks if you’re hungry between meals.
Q. I take medications. Will I be able to continue them during the cleanse?
A. Yes! You will continue your medications as usual.
Q. What about cravings?
A. During the pre-cleanse period, we slowly wean ourselves from caffeine, alcohol, sugar and other unhealthy foods. It is natural to feel some discomfort when you are cutting back if you’ve been using for a long time. We have some ways to mitigate the discomfort, to help you relax and enjoy the cleanse as much as possible.
Q. What if I can’t make a call or any of the calls?
A. No problem! I record all the calls for you to watch/listen at a time that works for you. If you have questions that weren’t answered on the calls, you can email me.
Q. What if I’m sick? Can I cleanse while I’m sick?
A. No. If you register and then get sick, I will guide give you access to the call recordings and lead you through your 9 day process when you are well again.
