Welcome to Seeds of Sattva,

a lifestyle curation + community rooted in the art of healing

My name is Ana—I am a trauma survivor, mother, prayer-led poet, former corporate suit, ritualist, and recovered addict. I created this space because I am tired of folx being told their ailments aren’t real, I am tired of beloveds being told that a 40-hour work week is normal, 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.

My Commitments

This space is founded on:

Radical tenderness
Spiritual integrity
Truth-telling as liberation
Anti-colonial awareness
Centering the sacred in all things
A lifelong devotion to healing—for myself, for others, and for the earth

Who This Is For

You belong here if you are:

Healing from something unseen or unspeakable
Longing for clarity in a noisy world
Curious about spirituality without dogma
Ready to give to the world and receive from it in turn

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.

I have a complicated origin story, had 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.

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 in this long process of self improvement and I have had to learn 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—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

Credentials or something like that …
