Are you in the middle of the perimenopause chaos?
Struggling with unwanted weight gain, hot flashes, sleep that feels like a distant memory, anger that comes out of nowhere, belly bloat, or just plain old not feeling like yourself? Looking for holistic help without drugs or supplements?
This isn't another internet trend or quick fix. Ayurveda has endured for thousands of years.
Imagine stepping into your power during this transition: feeling hopeful, tuned into your body’s messages, calm, full of energy, and knowing how to truly nourish yourself (with food + life!).
Right now, you might be wondering:
Why didn’t my mom (or other elder woman in my life) tell me what happens in perimenopause?
What do I need to know if I’m not quite in perimenopause yet, but I’m heading there (hello, 40s)?
What causes symptoms in perimenopause?- you know it can’t just be “hormone imbalance”
Why aren’t my self-care tools cutting it anymore?
Why do I feel like I’m losing my mind some days, especially with anger and grief? - can I run away to a cave?
Why have my clothes stopped fitting?
Where has good sleep gone?
Where has my sex drive disappeared to?
Why can’t I figure this out on my own? What is up with the conflicting advice online on diet and lifestyle?
Do I have to take hormones to do this well? Seems to be the only thing my doctor can offer.
Ditto with supplements and the naturopath.
Who even am I anymore?
Hi dear one. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Maria Gabriela, a clinical doctor of pharmacy trained in allopathic medicine + a certified Ayurveda Health Counselor.
I help people in perimenopause curate customized protocols to reclaim their vitality and unearth the fullness of who they authentically are, without hormones, drugs or trends. The world needs the gifts and medicine of mid-life and elder women more than ever now.
I’m in the middle of my own perimenopause transition, and Ayurveda has done wonders for me. I was like you once, wondering if simple life changes really make a difference. I’m here to share how Ayurveda can help you, how it’s helped clients, and how it has shifted my journey in midlife. I’m still amazed at how well it works.
I believe the experience of perimenopause is a wake-up call to examine all the lies we were told about womanhood– including that we don’t have the authority to know or understand what is happening in our own bodies, we no longer hold value in society as we age, we must strive to stay young-looking and we must push through to continue to be “productive” and care for others at our own expense. Among other things, am I right?
We might vibe if you’re a woman invested in your spiritual growth, your long-term health, and want clear, customized nature-based protocols to decrease or relieve symptoms and prevent chronic so-called “diseases of aging,” without hormones, drugs, or trends.

“Maria has done more for me in a few short months than any doctor ever has. She is intuitive, intelligent and genuine in her work.”

I have long battled insomnia and terrible, “emergency potty” problems. I’ve gone to traditional western doctors, (quick visits and prescribed meds) I’ve seen a holistic doctor, (another quick visit and sent me home with $300 worth of supplements) I’ve googled to self diagnose and tried home remedies. All this with no resolve.
Maria took hours gathering information from me and with much thoughtfulness began guiding me through the Ayurveda methods. In one months time, I was sleeping!!! Amazing! Restful, deep sleep with vivid dreams. Another month later, no more “emergency potty” problems!!! Regular bowel movements that I don’t recall ever having in my life.
Maria has done more for me in a few short months than any doctor ever has. She is intuitive, intelligent and genuine in her work.
It has been a commitment to make these changes in my diet and lifestyle but 100% worth it. I would and do recommend Maria to all of my friends and family who I think would benefit from her services. And really, I think we all would.”
“I highly recommend Maria and Intuitive Ayurveda to every person out there! She has taught me so much in our time together and with such loving kindness, insight, and patience. I will be forever grateful for her helping me to turn my health and well being around. It's really amazing how just the smallest changes in habits, routines, and foods can have such major impacts on your life.”

She has helped me to get more quality sleep, be more at peace in my life, and overall feel happy in the skin I'm in. I wanted to lose weight, control my anxiety/depression without the help of meds, and improve my overall health. I knew that everything I was trying was not working and test results were showing signs of inflammation in my body. Having known Maria for much of my life, I saw such an awesome transformation in her as she practiced Ayurveda that I felt I needed to sign up for whatever she was doing! Over the course of my time thus far with her, at nearly 1.5 years, I've lost about 25lbs without even trying. And while gradual, I've been able to easily sustain it. I've even been told that I exude a certain glow. I've changed for the better. I just wish I'd known years ago what I know now! And although I do steer off the path that I desire for myself with all of this, I know that coming back to my practices does in fact make me feel better, lighter, clear headed and happier. I'm excited to see what my continued work with her can do for me in my everyday life and how it will impact me as I traverse through perimenopause. Thanks Maria!!

Maria Gabriela changed my life. She helped me understand my body and build a relationship with my body. I've had sleep issues for 6 years and I thought I'd tried everything, but her ability to hold my anxiety, her Ayurvedic knowledge and her spiritual softness took me on a journey that dramatically improved my sleep (I now look forward to going to bed!), and most of all, I know I have the intuitive power to to be in partnership WITH my body, no matter what happens. I'm so grateful!
