Tula You
Tula You is sanskrit and translates to Balance You. I believe Ayurveda gives us the keys to finding balance within ourselves to live our full potential. California College of Ayurveda is where I chose to pursue my four year degree in education to learn the teachings of Ayurvedic Medicine and its power to restore and rejuvenate the mind, body and soul and live dis-ease free. I myself have spent many years trying to find stability, happiness and truth of who I am. After I suffered severe burnout from a demanding career, I knew it was time for a change. Through the teachings and practices of Ayurveda, I have discovered a path that when followed, supports mental and physical wellbeing, spiritual growth and preventative care. The principles of Ayurvedic medicine can also effectively complement and integrate with conventional medicine offering a cohesive approach to health. Utilizing my education in Ayurveda, Yoga and 24 years of culinary experience, I am confident that together we can restore and maintain your wellbeing. I look forward to working with you.
Working with Laura
My goal through Tula You is for us to work at achieving the best version of you. We will do this through learning sustainable practices to improve digestion, mental stability, sleep and self-esteem. Each of us has a different blue print. The first step is an initial consultation and assessment followed by a report of findings. This information will give us a deeper understanding of any imbalances in your present health. Your constitution/dosha will also be established. We will discuss an individualized program of lifestyle changes, daily routines, diet suggestions, yoga, personalized blended herbs, journaling to get to the root of the cause of any diseases or imbalances. Our goal is to have 3 to 6 follow-up visits after the report of findings. Creating a space for accountability and consistency is key for success.
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a 5000 year old modality of holistic health care. Its roots are from what we know now as India. It believes in balancing mind, body and soul through the understanding of the five elements ether, air, fire, water and earth. When the elements are balanced in each of us we have balance. Ayurveda does this through lifestyle changes, diet, herbs, meditation, yoga and an understanding of ones self.
VATA DOSHA
Elements of air and ether. When in balance in us shows up as creativaty, movement, enthusiasm, inventive, intuitive. Think Albert Einstein.
Fire & water elements. When in balance shows up in us as tenacity, leadership, visionaries, passionate.
KAPHA DOSHA
Elements of water and earth. When in balance shows up in us as compassionate, good listeners, reliable, empathetic, grounded, stamina and affectionate.
PITTA DOSHA
What does dosha mean?
An energy that resides with in us. All of us have a certain amount of each of the above doshic energies that make up constitution/dosha. How much of each governs what our innate traits are. By balancing these energies we can live with a harmonious balance of mind, body and soul.
Tula
Means Balance. The space where all doshas are working in harmony for the whole version of ourselves.
Rumi
"Life is a balance between holding on and letting go."

My time with Laura has been precious. She offers holistic guidance and solutions that go beyond the surface. Laura introduced me to the power and potential of Ayurveda. She shared recipes, advice on Ayurvedic cleansing and skillfully guided me through it, making a profound difference in my well-being. She also supported me during one of the toughest times in my life. I found her insights and solutions far more effective than what I had received from my doctor. If your feeling stuck and need clarity on moving forward, I highly recommend calling Laura.
