Why Cleanse in the Spring?
Yogis take time in the
change of the seasons to consciously shift with nature. Cleansing in the Spring enables us to lighten up after eating heavier
winter foods, moving from a more acidic diet, which is natural in winter, to a highly alkaline diet, which is natural in summer.
The rasas, or tastes, which are dominant in spring are bitter, astringent and pungent. Eating foods predominant in
these rasas during cleansing helps reset the palatte into what is appropriate during this time of year.
Cleansing
can be as deep or as mild as you are ready for. You will be given many choices with a basic whole foods diet to
design a cleanse that works best for where you are right now.
Yogis cleanse not only to empty out accumulated toxins,
but also as a way to check in with themselves and the direction their life is flowing. Cleansing is a time-out of ordinary
life as you make strides in improving your daily routines and diet to align to your goals and ambitions. Cleansing is a great
opportunity to clean up your diet, to make more conscious food and lifestyle choices, and to break the cycles of addiction.

A Cleanse Course testimonial:
Hello Cate,
I just wanted to let you know that I so enjoyed the cleanse experience. It has opened
my eyes and mind to my relationship with food. I have actually enjoyed cooking and have been making friends with my
kitchen. I am still making kitchari some days... I really crave it. I now have a better understanding and of how
food effects me . This past couple of weeks eating all this freshly prepared food has made my mind
so clear. I have been able to focus and actually finish things that I start. My energy level has been elevated
and I just feel more grounded. I always thought that I ate health, but this is a whole new ballgame.
I have purchased
about 5 new books on Ayruveda and am fascinated with this ancient science of life.
Thank you for your guidance and for
opening up the door to a healthier new future.

Consultations for a Personalized
Cleanse
Cate helps her clients adjust their diet & lifestyle patterns seasonally to embrace ourselves as part of
the larger cyclical patterns of nature. Cleansing used to happen naturally, when humans ate foods exclusively from their local
environment. Due to modernization, we may believe that we're no longer dependent on nature's cycles. When we
live out of sync with the greater cycle, disease occurs at various levels: physically our bodies grow heavy or listless;
mentally we feel more isolated, anxious, or depressed; and emotionally we feel less connected to the true source of our inspiration
and desire.
Schedule a consultation with Cate to deepen your alignment and simplify your life. We'll design a
cleanse that fits your unique needs.
