JOY of Cleansing: Spring Cleanse

Are you ready to burst forth into the season?  Do you want to get rid of the congestion, allergies, and sluggishness that sometimes accompanies Spring? Would it be helpful  to learn self-care practices that can support your life?

This balancing digestive reset will help to eliminate cravings, support your nervous system, and create optimum health in the spring months. During the cleanse we will prepare and eat holistic, nutrient dense, and simple Ayurvedic foods.
