How did Pink Lotus Herbs Come About?

 

 

 

I grew up in Czechia, a country with a long tradition of herbal healing and folk medicine. Since young age I've been passionate about exploring the medicinal and nutritive qualities of plants, admiring, picking, tasting and studying this herb and that, learning from my mom, great sages, grandmothers and wise medicine women, making potions for all my family members and my friends. Energy healing too was of my great interest, sometimes, sometimes touching what eyes cannot see but hands can feel.  In my early twenties I healed myself from a  debilitating (by doctors 'incurable') auto-immune condition solely by drinking herbal teas and practicing yoga, following simple Ayurvedic principles, believing in wellness.  My passion for herbs and healing therapies grew.  I studied Ayurveda and Western herbalism both privately, hands-on, and in a variety of courses across United Kingdom and United States, sensing a strong affinity with the plant kingdom..Every year I attend Women's Herbal Symposium to deepen and enrich my knowledge of natural healing and living in harmony with nature - our true nature (where I also offer a classes to share my passion). In my twenties I was being sought after my gift of touch, that would deepen during my Dakini training. Marmas (subtle energy points) have fascinated me ever since I learned about them at the beginning of my Tantric path. Throughout the years I kept returning to the subject, inspired by Ayurvedic or Siddha medicine teachers and healers, until I officially became a cetified  Marma Therapy practitioner. Training & certification in Bliss Therapies (Abhyanga massage, shirodhara, svedana) followed, with more intriguing studies and learning ahead (currently ayurvedic pulse reading).

​

I have always felt great reverence for the great 'women's mysteries', particularly conception, pregnancy, birth and the early weeks that follow. I had been doing 'doula' work before I'd known there was a name for it - it was simply something that felt natural, and I was drawn to. I greatly cherished my own pregnancies and births, and those dreamy  'otherwordly' weeks of postpartum (not the easiest, but definitely special, magical). It was the birth of my son that made the final push of officially becoming a doula and offering care of such, in which I weave all the above skills and knowledge to make it even more impactful.

I am a certified internationalYoga Teacher (Sunra, since 1996), Infant Massage Practicioner (Art of Health, 1997), certified Dakini (Tantra Teacher & Healer, Ipsalu Tantra International since 1999), certified Doula (NR Doula Training, Heart and Hands Midwifery Training, 2004),Certified Ayurvedic Marma Therapy, and Bliss Therapy practitioner (California College of Ayurveda), writer/author, dancer, artist, poet, ordained priestess of the Isis Temple, mermaid, and devoted mother. Maintaining my family's health and vitality has been naturally of an utmost importance, and yet my perception of 'family' has expanded: how can I not care about my dear brothers and sisters whose hearts and bodies may suffer, who are in a need of a loving touch, heart felt advice or embrace?
