Maria Gabriela Guevara, Pharm.D.
Welcome dear soul. You’re here for a reason.
I’m Maria Gabriela, a doctor of pharmacy trained in allopathic (“Western”) medicine and a certified Ayurveda (“Eastern medicine”) Health Counselor. I help women prepare for and manage perimenopause, so they can celebrate the transition into menopause!
Are you looking for holistic approaches to the transition into menopause?
Did you know hormonal changes can start as early as your mid-30s? Did you know you can prepare your body for a symptom-free perimenopause transition?
Non-specific symptoms can show up as early indicators of hormonal imbalance or a shift into perimenopause. Sometimes, even clinicians with the best intentions are unable to help for various reasons. Unfortunately, there is also sometimes dismissal that these symptoms are real or matter.
If you’re looking for help, you’re in the right place.
They matter.
“Menopause is a rearrangement of every part of you- physical, energetic, and spiritual.”

“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!

YES really... and spoiler alert: it doesn't include exercise (though this is a wonderful thing for a woman in perimenopuase)
