Welcome to Seeds of Sattva
My name is ana—I am a corporate strategist, prayer-led poet, mother and ritualist. I created this space because I see a future where business can be harmonious with the needs of our sensitive selves, our Holy Earth, and the undeniable reality that we need resources to thrive.
After nearly a decade in the corporate world—managing multimillion-dollar accounts for Fortune 500 clients—I now use that experience to nurture a more conscious, sustainable economic ecosystem. I am tired of folx burning out under systems that deny their humanity, I am tired of beloveds being told that they should be acclimatized to a sick and urgent society, and I am tired of all our relatives being forced to live in a colonizer concept of linear time that does not serve our hearts, bodies, or minds. I know that there is a different way and I want to walk that way together.
I thought I had to denounce business
When I left my career due to health complications, I thought that I would have to say no to business and that my calling was to be a practitioner of the healing arts …
Now I am holding both truths, integrating my holistic healing studies with the world of business and offering the fruits of this union to you.

Who This Is For
You belong here if you are:

Curious about how spirituality and business can work together
Ready to give to the world and receive from it in turn while opening yourself to your dharma
I like to think that God / Spirit / Creator has given me a full deck of trauma and miracles so that I can share with beloveds how I worked my way out of the labyrinth.
Yes, I graduated an Ivy League institution and found a successful career in business until my body could no longer take the brunt of ineffective systems but I think my bigger story is what makes me unique to work with.
I had a complicated origin story, a broken home, an early fixation on external validation from men, and a propensity to find myself in abusive situations.
… by 2019 I was six years deep in daily drug abuse, addicted to crack/cocaine and amphetamines, in an abusive codependent relationship, with a relentless eating disorder, autoimmune conditions that kept landing me in the hospital, and countless diagnoses (cPTSD. OCD, ASD, GAD, AuDHD) to which the system had me on eight different medications in denial of everything that had led me to this life.
On March 13, 2019 I overdosed and Spirit ripped the rug out from underneath me. No more abusive relationship, no more excuses for the life that was going to end up killing me. Until then, I had been able to hide my suffering under my corporate hyper-productivity and overall capacity to obscure the truth of my reality.
Embodying Me …
By the grace + guidance of the Divine Universe, Ayahuasca (via Shipibo tradition) brought me to sobriety on the Autumnal Equinox of 2019. Cold turkey cessation of everything I was on, including medications … next, yoga and ayurveda held my body through the years of detox needed to remain clean. A handful of relapses happened though I am happy to report my last relapse was December 4, 2022.
Plant medicine has remained a life line and frequent ally in this long process of self improvement and I have learned a lot about preparation and integration in these years of regular ceremony attendance.
Seeds of Sattva is my offering to the collective. I thought I wouldn’t make it out of my 20s alive and now I am a full-time Mama and student of yoga and ayurveda with nearly 10 years of business experience under my belt—holding the Light over the path that brought me to salvation. Healing is possible, and it matters how we live—it matters how we do everything so join me in choosing to live differently together.
Seeds of Sattva is my bridge between the spiritual and material—honoring myself as a businesswoman and spiritual student of plant medicines, Ayurveda, and Yoga.
