About Heart Lotus

Hi, I’m Evangeline

I’m the founder of Heart Lotus Health. Welcome! I began as a health practitioner with a Massage Therapy practice in 2001, which soon evolved into a natural health practice when I incorporated Ayurveda and Yoga. Little did I know then that the evolution of a body-mind-spirit perspective would be embraced down the road to meet clients’ need for integrative and supportive health care.

I look forward to meeting you in person, or at a Heart Lotus Retreat, or on-line for an Ayurvedic cooking or Yoga class. Whether you are beginning your holistic health journey or picking up where you left off there is no better time to start than right now. It could be as simple as taking a deep breath in, and slowly breathing out….

My Story

With the birth of my daughter and separation from my first spouse, I was catapulted into a powerful awakening – a spiritual shift that completely redefined the meaning and purpose of my life. For most of my twenties it was a search for happiness, and a confused, unrealistic view of myself and the world that would have me feeling a false sense of self rooted in external happiness. That all turned around. The turning point was an act of surrender and letting go of deep rooted attachments and held beliefs. As they began to be dismantled embracing my inner strength naturally unfolded. I turned the corner, abandoning limiting beliefs. Dreams previously unfulfilled, blossomed into reality one by one which I believe was because I reconnected with my inner joy, and allowed transformation to unfold naturally, giving way to life giving, supportive actions that led me to meditation, Ayurvedic cooking and yoga to sustain my new life. The journey continues and what keeps flourishing is my dharma to help others create health, resilience and inner peace.
