About Felicity – A Life Held by Grace

I’m Felicity, the heart behind Awakening Yogini Divine Living Co., and at 62 I find myself smiling at how beautifully imperfect and deeply blessed this long path has been.

For more than thirty years, Ayurveda has walked beside me as both gentle guide and quiet healer. It found me during seasons of burnout, early motherhood, and the slow unraveling that eventually cracked me open to something truer. I never approached it as an expert seeking mastery; I came as a woman needing medicine for body, heart, and spirit. And through every stumble, forgotten rituals, late nights, moments of doubt, it has taught me that real healing lives in consistency, kindness, and returning again and again with love.

My imperfections are not things I hide. They are the very places grace has entered most deeply. I’ve burned dinner while trying to chant, cried through Panchakarma purifications, whispered mantras in the dark while rocking babies, and learned, slowly, that the Divine Mother does not wait for perfection. When I turn toward her with honest intention and even the smallest drop of love, She always meets me: with courage to face what hurts, compassion for my human frailty, and clarity that lights the next small step.

Today my life looks like this:  

I’ve been married to my beloved for 39 years, and the love between us still feels like home,tender, steady, growing deeper with time.  

I am mother to three grown children now in their late 20s and  thirties, each thriving on their own beautiful, unique paths. Watching them step into the world fills me with a quiet, overflowing gratitude.  

I live by the beach, where long walks  restore me. The rhythm of the waves, the salt on my skin, the wide sky, they remind me daily that I belong to something vast and loving.  

I love to travel and immerse myself in other cultures,the colors, the sounds, the sacred ways people express devotion in their everyday lives. And good friends? They are the cornerstone of my happiness, lifelong friends, true companions who laugh with me, cry with me, and hold space when words fall short.

Through it all runs the thread of devotion: to the Divine Mother who has never left my side, to the body that has carried me this far, to the quiet practices that bring me back to center.  

*Awakening Yogini* is the honest telling of this journey not as a perfect manual, but as a companion for any woman who feels the pull toward a deeper meaning amid real, ordinary, sacred life.

If my story echoes something in yours, I’m so glad our paths have crossed.  

Whether through the book, the free *7 Days of Coming Home* series, or simply these words, I’m here as a fellow traveler, older, softer, still learning, and still very much held.

With love and a grateful heart,  

Felicity
