Creating a Self-Care Legacy:

Family Friendly Ayurveda with Nicky Ziobrowski

10:15am-10:45am PT / 1:15-1:45pm ET

Ayurveda isn’t just a wellness system — it’s a living rhythm women can weave into their homes, relationships, and everyday choices. Did you know self-care( Sadhana) heals relationships? Not just the one with yourself, but with partners, families, and even the environments you create. This talk explores how cycle-breakers — women who may not have come from healthy families — can build one through embodied, daily self-care practices that naturally shift the emotional tone of a household. Rather than forcing change, we look at how consistency, intention, and self-regulation create a space others feel drawn to, where healing begins with one woman and ripples outward. Attendees will learn practical ways to model this rhythm in real life, turning personal care into relational leadership that fosters generational health — because what you cultivate today becomes what you pass down tomorrow. In a world focused on generational wealth, this conversation asks: what would it look like to make generational health your greatest legacy?

With a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and a minor in Sports Coaching, my early years were rooted in communication, movement, and human connection. But a life shift in 2020 became the doorway that brought me home to myself. That turning point led me into 1st a nutritional journal healing anxiety, depression, hormonal acne and severe intestinal traama from birth, then into a 200-hour yoga teacher training and FeetUp technique, Reiki I & II, AromaTouch massage, Shirodhara, Nutrition Coaching(specialized in plant based diets), Personal Training, and ultimately Ayurvedic Practitioner. From this lived devotion, YOUNICVERSE was born — A place where every person is both teacher and student, where personal transformation becomes shared medicine, and where lived experience carries as much wisdom as formal study. My work is guided by a deep desire to help others reconnect with their own power — especially those who have felt the urgency of transformation, and who now feel called to pass that wisdom forward. Whether supporting individuals, families, or communities, my intention is simple: to create spaces where healing becomes Accessible, Embodied, and Energetically Contagious.
