The Wise Woman Way
Woven throughout all of Chrysalis Woman’s programs and an integral part of the Wisdom and Wellness Consultations and Seasonal Wisdom and Wellness Classes, are the teachings of the Wise Woman Way of Medicine.
Medicine ~ A word that many have come to either fear or resent. A powerful word and in our current technological society, one that has been demoted from its original meaning and most powerful energy… that of Love. What is now looked upon in pill form, devoid of nourishment of any kind… was once intimately known and practiced by women through the home arts and community life.
However, the time came when women were told they needed special education to offer their love for healing to self, family and community and so “Medicine” was relegated to the “educated” and so went the loving Medicine of Women.
In the Wise Woman tradition, Medicine comes in many forms. It is the reclaiming of the roots of Women’s Medicine that helps us to remember these many forms. Like the loving preparation of whole, seasonal and nourishing foods; wisely harvested and simply prepared herbals, living in rhythm with the seasons and what the Earth provides; giving emotional support; embracing hugs, tears and laughter; participating in dance, play and creativity… even endings, pain and loss that give way to new life and new beginnings… all are Medicine in her many forms.
Remembering the Medicine Woman within is a remembering of the knowledge of healing and intuitive guidance within you. It is the reclaiming of what can be labeled as the “invisible” home arts that our grandmothers and great grandmothers practiced.

In these classes we do just that and a whole lot more. In each class, Ayla shares seasonal wisdom in the Wise Woman tradition that helps students align with the energy that is available during that particular time of year and integrates this with local, seasonal healing herbs/foods and ferments.

Wisdom & Wellness Consultations
In our current health care “culture” women have become accustomed to relying on the “experts” for their health and wellness. No longer are they supported in developing the relationship with their own inner knowing and the belief that their bodies are perfect by design. Health and healing has now become an industry of treating particular “pieces” of the whole with a disregard for the complexity and individuality of each woman.
Women’s very own sacred and powerful biological processes are viewed and “treated” as chaotic and potentially dangerous.
The time is now for women to reclaim all the choices in health care that are available to them and honor their body’s biological experiences as natural and not in need of external control.
The time is now for women to remember their wholeness and experience an integrated approach to health and wellness ~ one that utilizes our grandmothers knowledge of wild green herb, nourishing whole food and sacred cycle wisdom and incorporates the blessings of spiritual midwifery. A belief that each woman is the “expert” of her own body, her own life and her own energy and that all she has ever needed is a witness and guide to bring her back home.
