A licensed chiropractor, certified Ayurvedic practitioner, registered yoga teacher and yoga therapist, and entrepreneur, she is the founder of Sage, a healing arts center and herbal apothecary in Kansas City, Missouri, where she combines these methods to help others find well-being. Sarah is the author of The Ayurvedic Self-Care Handbook and The Seven Ways of Ayurveda.
"In The Seven Ways of Ayurveda, Sarah demystifies the doshas in a
way that empowers you to self-reflect and see your innate qualities
on a whole new level. This book arms you with the knowledge to tap
into ancient Ayurvedic wisdom to see tangible improvements in your
daily life, understand yourself on a deeper plane, and have a whole
new perspective on how to bring yourself back into balance for your
unique makeup."
*Cassandra Bodzak, author of Eat with Intention and Manifesting
Through Meditation*
"In this beautiful book, Sarah puts her arms around a vast and
ancient science and offers it to us like a sweeping bouquet of
nature’s delight. Because Ayurveda is a healing science, the doshas
have been most fully covered in terms of identifying imbalance and
what to do to restore. Sarah turns this around and looks at the
doshas in their positive expression, seeing how each does at work,
in life, and in love, making this a practical guide for bringing
out the best in you. An easy, delightful read, it can open your
world in unexpectedly radiant ways."
*Laura Plumb, Ayurveda practitioner and teacher, author of Ayurveda
Cooking For Beginners*
"Sarah brings a fun and delightfully playful approach to Ayurveda!
This book will empower you with practical knowledge of the doshas
in work, in love, and everyday life, so you can confidently care
for yourself and uncover your strengths along the way. If you’re
looking for a renewed relationship with your well-being, one that
inspires you to know yourself and live authentically to your true
nature, I highly recommend this book."
*Claire Ragozzino (Vata-Pitta), author of Living Ayurveda*
"Dr. Kucera’s exceptional talent for clarity and relevance shine in
this practical guide to your dosha, or blueprint for achieving
optimal health. I’ve read my fair share of Ayurveda books and this
one stands out because Sarah keeps a foot in beginner’s soil—she
adeptly breaks down complex concepts to feel approachable and
actionable to everyone. This book makes you feel deeply seen and
understood, then gives you the guidance to not simply survive but
thrive as your best self."
*Gina Caputo (Pitta-Kapha), E-RYT 500, health and wellness coach
and founder of the Colorado School of Yoga*
"Expanding the concept of ‘dosha’ beyond food lists and body types,
this insightful book will serve you for a lifetime as a
foundational guide for navigating your ‘inner landscape’ and
approaching your tendencies, your light and shadow sides, and your
relationships with compassion, curiosity, and a sense of humor. The
Seven Ways of Ayurveda reminds us that we already have everything
we need to thrive."
*Jennifer Kurdyla (Vata), coauthor of Root Nourish: An Herbal
Cookbook for Women’s Wellness*
"The Seven Ways of Ayurveda is a warmly written, accessible book
that teaches you to use Ayurveda as a lens for self-examination.
Not only does Kucera kindly guide you to greater self-knowledge,
she also gives you tools to understand both yourself and others in
the office, in relationships, and at various stages of life. I
highly recommend it!"
*Sage Rountree (Pitta), PhD, E-RYT 500, author of The Professional
Yoga Teacher’s Handbook and co-owner of Carolina Yoga Company*
"Although we humans have a lot in common, we are all inherently
different from each other, too. Sarah applies ancient teachings
from Ayurveda to provide a whole new way to observe why we do what
we do. A great read for people looking to understand themselves—and
fellow humans—better!"
*Heather Grzych (Vata-Kapha), Ayurveda practitioner and author of
The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility*
"Describing how the various doshas translate as personality types,
Kucera advises how each will perform at work, school, and in
relationships and suggests psychological techniques to augment
one’s strengths and correct one’s imbalances . . . For readers
interested in complementary medicine, adherents of Ayurvedic
medicine, and anyone who enjoys trying self-improvement through
personality typing."
