Rasayana is more than powerful herbs. It is the way we live, the attitude we practice and the thoughts we cultivate.

Solida & Andrew

Rasayana is the science of longevity. Ayurveda has its highest expression in Rasayana–the cultivation of Ojas which is said to be the “physiological expression of Consciousness”. Ojas is the subtle essence that enhances vitality, immunity, sexuality, and happiness.
Healthy Ojas is the Pathway to Radiance.

Solida + Andrew

Rasayana Ayurveda is wife & husband team in a new iteration of both our entrepreneurial backgrounds together. Our goal is to present herbalism & seaweed within the healing context of Ayurveda, and teach Ayurveda through the connection of humans to plants & seaweed.

Together, we continue our heart-driven mission of right-livelihood by merging together our passions and skills by offering handcrafted, intentional products that are healing and nourishing to ourselves, our community and the Earth.

Meet Solida

I spent nearly two decades in New York City running multiple coffeeshops and a restaurant and building community spaces where people gathered for food, art, music and human connection.

That chapter of my life gave me grit and helped build resilience and creativity, and allowed me to connect and collaborate with so many talented humans. It also taught me a lot about what it means to work with and nourish people on so many levels.

But after so many years in the hustle & grind of NYC and burning out more times than I can count, I felt the calling to slow down and sought healing in nature.

I ran away to Guatemala to study permaculture and herbalism and learned to walk the plant path on my own healing journey, which I continue to do today.

Reconnecting with both ancient traditions and my own Cambodian heritage, I began to remember why I am here on this planet. Through yoga, meditation, herbalism, and a renewed connection to the natural world, I began to forge a new path—one that merges trauma healing, recovery, conscious relationship and "enlightened entrepreneurship."

Meeting Andrew was yet another serendipitous moment in my life. Together, we created Rasayana Ayurveda as an extension of our marriage and a vehicle for deep growth and personal development.

My heart's work is to help others find healing and empowerment by living in harmony with their true Self.
