Day 7 — Wellness + Fashion: How I Align Mind, Body, and Style
Before I ever thread a needle, sketch a design, or cut into fabric, I check in with myself. My work is deeply connected to my spirit, my emotions, and my alignment. People often ask me, “How do you balance being a designer, a healer, a teacher, and a woman navigating life?” And the truth is simple: I pour into my wellness just as intentionally as I create fashion.To me, wellness and fashion are not separate worlds — they are woven together. When I’m aligned, my creativity flows differently. My mind feels clearer. My hands move with purpose. And the final garment carries a different kind of energy, something that can’t be duplicated by machines or mass production.My mornings usually begin with meditation, breathwork, or aromatherapy — a small ritual to ground myself. Sometimes it’s sitting in silence, sometimes it’s journaling, sometimes it’s stretching and reconnecting with my body. These moments give me space to release whatever I don’t need to carry into the studio. You can’t design from a cluttered spirit.Creating clothing is intimate. Clients bring their dreams, insecurities, body stories, and celebrations to me. To honor that, I have to be emotionally available and spiritually centered. When someone steps into a gown, suit, or kids’ piece I designed, they’re not just wearing fabric — they’re wearing the intention, peace, and clarity that I stitched into it.Fashion can heal. The right piece can shift a person’s confidence, posture, mood, and energy. I’ve watched clients transform right in front of me the moment they see themselves in something that truly fits who they are and who they’re becoming. That’s wellness. That’s healing. That’s why I take my process seriously.
Throughout the day, I pause when I need to. I stretch my back and my hands. I breathe through frustration when a seam won’t lay flat. I play music that aligns with the mood of the garment I’m creating. I sage my workspace when the energy feels heavy. I drink water. I check in with myself. These small habits keep my mind sharp and my creativity grounded.
Fashion is my gift — but wellness is my foundation. When those two come together, Guru Designs becomes more than clothing. It becomes an experience. An energetic shift. A reminder that when you care for yourself, everything you create becomes a reflection of that care.
My goal is for every client to feel that alignment — to walk away not only looking good but feeling emotionally and spiritually uplifted. Because at the end of the day, fashion fades, but inner alignment never goes out of style.
