To ladies in midlife: I know what it’s like to struggle with sleep. It make life feels harder than it needs to be. If you’re having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up with a racing mind, this course was created with you in mind.
Imagine looking forward to going to sleep every night, sleeping deeply through the night, and waking up refreshed without drugs, supplements, or gimmicky devices.
Does this sound like you?
You’re so tired all day—but the moment your head hits the pillow, your brain decides to throw a dance party. You toss, turn, scroll, overthink, maybe sweat through your pajamas, and eventually fall asleep… just in time for the alarm to go off. Or maybe you’re able to fall asleep, but for no reason at all you wake up at 3am running the to-do list in your head and can’t fall back asleep until around 5.
Then you wake up groggy, irritable, and wondering if this is just what life feels like now.
Your hormones are shifting, your body’s changing, and you feel like you’re losing your mind and your resiliency to deal with it all because you can’t sleep! You’ve tried melatonin, podcasts, sleep music, some drugs—but nothing really works.
Meanwhile, your sleep issues are affecting your mood, weight, memory, digestion, and relationships.
How Disturbed Sleep Can Affect Our Day to Day
Long-term sleep deprivation is also linked to so-called diseases of aging, including high blood pressure, mood disorders, dementia, diabetes, lowered immunity, obesity, and inflammation.
What if there was a way to fall asleep naturally, stay asleep all night, and actually wake up feeling more like yourself again?
Imagine having a curated routine and several approaches individualized to you. One that nourishes your nervous system, quiets the mental chatter, and helps your body remember how to rest.
📲No more 3am doom-scrolling
💊No more drugs that leave you groggy
💤Just deep, uninterrupted sleep—and the vibrant, energized days that follow

“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!”

Right now, you might be struggling with:
Nights where your brain won’t shut off and your body won’t settle down
Hot flashes that pull you out of sleep, covers off, then you wake up cold, covers on, then the cycle repeats
Waking up at 2am, staring at the ceiling, angry that tomorrow’s going to be rough—again
Dragging through your days, too tired to focus, too wired to rest, and snapping at your family and losing patience with your co-workers because you’re not able to regulate your reactions well
Imagine instead:
Looking forward to going to bed, knowing when your head hits the pillow, your body will drop down into sweet sleep
Waking up with energy to show up for your day, your people, and yourself
Knowing what your body is asking for when sleep is elusive, and having tools you can use in an ongoing way to keep coming back to better sleep
Hi 👋🏽 I’m Maria Gabriela
Your Clinical Pharmacist Turned Ayurveda Health Counselor
I too have had my sleep disturbed by perimenopause, turned it around with Ayurveda, and I’m here to help!
I’m a certified Ayurveda Health Counselor, a doctor of pharmacy (Pharm.D.), a 200 hour certified yoga teacher, and founder of Intuitive Ayurveda. I specialize in helping women prepare for, celebrate, and manage the transition into menopause. The eastern and western perspectives of medicine each have something to offer us, and I understand this dance. My goal is to educate on Ayurvedic tools that can (and should) be individualized to each complex person. I strive to help clients tune into the messages their bodies are sending them. Ultimately, I believe that every person is the expert on what is best for them, and can be empowered to hone in on which tools they need to support themselves in mind, body, and spirit.
