Hi, I’m Ananda.
It is so great to meet you!
I’m a Permaculture Design Consultant based in Charlotte, NC. My Permaculture journey started a long time ago before I even knew Permaculture was a thing. It all really started in 2017 when I watched Cowspiracy and it sent me down a transformative rabbit hole for the next decade of my life. The seed was planted! I was heart-broken how the food & animal agriculture industry strips the ecosystem of its beautiful resources & nutrients, all in name of greed. I wanted to be a part of the solution, not the problem.
Later on in life I worked at a market farm in Georgia and found so much joy in growing healthy rich foods for families to eat but something still didn’t sit right with me. “Healthy organic food should not just belong to the financially privilege.” Another seed was planted! I wanted to figure out how I could help everyone have access to nutrient dense organic foods. I didn’t know the answer yet but I was determined to figure it out.
A year after that I moved to Ohio. After so much searching for answers, the Universe opened a door. I worked at a Permaculture Education farm and this was my first introduction to Permaculture. Alas, another seed was planted! The Permaculture philosophy and life style drew me in and thought, “This is the answer!” It was the anti-food industrial complex I was searching for and my favorite part is that it wasn’t anything new or crazy, it was ancient wisdom! It’s the wisdom of Mother Earth that was passed onto indigenous people across the globe for the past thousands of years. It was beautiful - it was deeply rooted in me, just like how this wisdom is also deeply rooted in you. I decided to nurture this new planted seed by attending Maharishi International University to study in Regenerative Organic Agriculture and this is where I received my Permaculture Design Certificate.
My Mission: Heal communities and the planet, one garden at a time. I strive to help create a regenerative, flourishing world—and that begins with empowering you in your own garden. Health and abundance is a Divine right. The wisdom of nature lives within all of us, for we are the children of Mother Earth. She hears you, and she has never left. She is waiting for you to remember and reconnect with her once more. Mother Earth’s vibration is rising, making way for sustainable practices to reemerge and for unsustainable systems to fall away. You are being called!
At the heart of my work are the core permaculture ethics that guide every step of the process. This ethical foundation shapes how I support and empower you on your permaculture journey, providing personalized guidance and practical solutions that nurture your relationship with the land. Together, we foster harmony between people, place, and planet—helping you create a sustainable, abundant future that truly serves your needs and dreams.
