SECRETARY: KYRIE AXFORD
Kyrie is passionate about helping people discover their potential for joy, harmony and healing. Through her bodywork and the teachings of Ayurveda and astrology, she is eager to educate others on healthy lifestyle practices that will help them to find wellness in their daily lives.
Kyrie has spent two years studying at the California College of Ayurveda. Here she completed both her Ayurvedic Health Educator and Clinical Ayurvedic Theory certificates. It is through this college as well, that she completed her training as an Ayurvedic Massage and Body Therapist. Kyrie has also studied western herbs and alchemy through The School of Evolutionary Herbalism and interned at the United Plant Savers herbal sanctuary in Rutland, Ohio.
From these experiences she has realized the disconnect to the rhythms of nature that exist in our society and the strong need to tune ourselves back in. Looking to nature, the planets and Ayurveda, it is her hope to help people rediscover their connection.
