Ancient Ayurveda for the Modern World
PAAVANI Ayurveda is an artisan line of small-batch, pure, organic skincare & wellness products handcrafted in Northern California. Rooted in the wisdom of Ayurveda, our work is designed to reconnect people to their innate body intelligence through daily ritual.
We stand behind the philosophy that what is harmonious for one may not be for another. This principle sits at the foundation of Ayurveda. Through understanding & honoring individual needs, we support the cultivation of balance, health & beauty from within.
The Ritual
We believe that self-care is not something separate from daily life. It is woven into it.
Creating space for simple, consistent rituals allows us to support the mind, body & skin more intentionally. PAAVANI products are designed to be part of that process—supporting connection, awareness & long-term wellbeing.
From how ingredients are sourced to how products are used, each step invites a deeper relationship with the natural world & its rhythms.
Our Ingredients
Named after the Sanskrit term for purity, PAAVANI is rooted in the belief that what we put on the body should be as intentional as what we put within it.
We formulate with organic herbs, plant oils & mineral-rich ingredients selected for their ability to naturally support the skin. Each ingredient is sourced from partners who align with our standards for quality, sustainability & ethical practices.
Our formulations are designed to nourish, support & work in harmony with the body—never against it.
Our Approach
Our approach is grounded in tradition, but designed for modern life.
We prioritize small-batch production, ingredient integrity & formulations that support daily ritual over time. Rather than creating products that promise immediate transformation, we focus on consistency—because this is where true results begin.
Our Founders
The seed of PAAVANI Ayurveda was planted between Leah Klatt & Trudy Collings during their Herbalism Apprenticeship at the California College of Ayurveda.
It was there that they discovered a shared passion for developing skin & body care products rooted in Ayurvedic tradition. What began as a desire to create products for their own therapies grew into something larger—an offering to their community & beyond.
PAAVANI was born in 2014 in Grass Valley, California, where the women began providing traditional Ayurvedic body therapies alongside their original formulations, including aromatherapy spritzers & body oils.
Inspired by the natural beauty of their surroundings, the support of their community & their continued exploration of Ayurveda, Leah & Trudy have grown PAAVANI into a space where ritual, education & connection meet.
Education & Community
An important component of PAAVANI is sharing the wisdom & tradition of Ayurveda.
Through educational resources & ongoing content, we aim to make Ayurveda more accessible & relevant for everyday life. We believe that when people understand how to care for themselves in alignment with their nature, the impact extends far beyond the individual.
A Living Practice
Ayurveda is not a fixed system—it is a living, evolving practice.
As we continue to grow, our intention remains the same: to offer products, education & rituals that support balance, awareness & a deeper connection to the body.
