About me
Hello and welcome!
My name is Jen Hewitt and this is my website - dedicated to honouring the body, mind and spirit, and I am so glad you are here.
More than ever before, the world needs healing.
I am a certified Ayurvedic Health instructor with certifications in Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness, Pranayama (conscious breathwork), and Reiki. Before becoming a holistic wellness professional, I began my career as a corporate lawyer and spent nearly two decades in the legal profession.
A curious and lifelong learner, it has been my passion to share the gift of knowledge with others.
If your mental, physical or spiritual wellbeing has been slipping in priority to the demands of career and modern life or while caregiving for the needs of others, I invite you to experience the transformative teachings and timeless self-care and healing rituals of Ayurveda that will help you to restore and protect your mind, body and spirit so that you can get back to flourishing.
With the right tools and information we can all enjoy greater wellbeing. Your best health is waiting for you:

burnout prevention and support for recovery,
a custom wellness program or workshop on insightful science-based topics for your team or workplace**,

Ginger & Lemon Tea
Simply the best tea you will ever taste - you will never want to buy conventional tea bags again!
Ginger is known as the universal medicine in Ayurveda.
Drinking a few cups of warm ginger tea throughout the day, is grounding, healing and balancing for all Doshas.
In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger stimulates digestion and detoxification, is a natural antibacterial, and can boost immune system and gut health. If that isn’t enough to get you excited, Ginger tea before meals can help reduce cravings for salt and sugar.
I drink this tea beginning in the Fall and throughout the Winter. Whenever I share it with friends, I get so many requests for the recipe. This tea tastes even better when shared, so here it is!
With only a few inexpensive ingredients you might already have in your pantry, you can be enjoying your own delicious and healing ginger tea anytime:
2-3” piece of fresh unpeeled organic ginger root (about the size of your thumb), coarsely chopped
the juice from 1/2 of a freshly squeezed organic lemon
a large tablespoon of raw or organic honey (optional), and
4 cups of water.
Begin by adding your ginger and water to a pot and bring to a gentle simmer on medium heat. Allow your tea to simmer and steep for about 15 minutes or until the flavour of the ginger is just right. Remove the pot from heat and pour tea into a large teapot (or a mason jar for tea to go!), add the fresh lemon juice and stir in the honey until dissolved.
Pour into your favourite tea cup and enjoy!

“Jennifer’s mindfulness and meditation session was exactly what our student recruits needed to release stress and recharge. With her guidance they were able to reset, refocus...many participants shared how valuable the session was and how much they appreciated the opportunity to pause and reconnect.”

“Jen teaches with a sincerity and clarity of purpose that allows her YTT students to connect deeply with the material…and to want more. Her enthusiasm is infectious! I look forward to learning with her again.”
