Aya Naturopathic Medicine

Banya Women's Wednesday with Aya Naturopathic Medicine
2026-08-05 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | Banya, 350 Rte 1 Byp S, Portsmouth, NH, 03801, United States
This month, Women’s Wednesday is hosted by Dr. Sarah Jeffrey and Dr. Luciana Silva of Aya Naturopathic Medicine.
Together, they’ll guide us through an evening of sauna, cold plunge, rest, and connection while sharing the science behind why these practices can be such powerful tools for women’s health and well-being.
Throughout the evening, you’ll learn:

How heat and cold exposure support mood, resilience, circulation, recovery, and nervous system regulation
How to approach hydrotherapy in a way that feels supportive rather than stressful
Simple breathing techniques to enhance the benefits of heat and cold
How to listen to your body’s signals and choose the right level of intensity for you

As always, Women’s Wednesday follows the Banya ritual of sauna, cold plunge, and rest, with plenty of space for conversation, reflection, and community between rounds. This is not a lecture or a class. Think of it as a guided experience where you’ll learn by doing alongside a supportive group of women.
Whether you’re brand new to hydrotherapy or looking to deepen your practice, you’ll leave with a better understanding of how to use heat and cold intentionally and confidently.
**What to bring:**

Bathing suit
Towel
Water bottle
Robe if you’d like to lounge

Don’t have a water bottle? No problem. They have hydration stations and cups available throughout the facility. Towel rentals are also available for $4 if needed.
There is nothing to achieve tonight and no perfect way to participate. You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, adjust the intensity of heat and cold to your comfort level, and listen to your body’s signals throughout the evening.
Take what serves you. Leave what doesn’t.
Breathe deeply, stay curious, and enjoy the ritual.
Register here! Space is limited.

Future-Proof Your Brain: A Modern Approach to Alzheimer’s Prevention
2026-07-15 08:00 - 09:30 | Online
Alzheimer’s Prevention: What You Can Do Now to Protect Your Brain
Virtual Event (by popular demand!)
Our recent in-person event generated so much interest that we’re bringing it back virtually for those who weren’t able to attend.
For decades, we were told there was little we could do to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
That’s no longer true.
Join Dr. Sarah Jeffrey, New Hampshire’s only RECODE-certified practitioner (Reversal of Cognitive Decline), and Dr. Luciana Silva, women’s health specialist and naturopathic doctor, for an engaging discussion on the latest science of brain health, cognitive decline prevention, and the important role hormones play in protecting the aging brain.
We’ll cover:

The most important preventable risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease
Why memory decline is often driven by multiple, modifiable causes
The roles of inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, sleep, stress, and hormones
How the RECODE precision medicine approach is changing prevention and treatment
The connection between hormones, menopause, and cognitive health
Practical strategies to support memory, focus, mood, and long-term brain function through a hormone-informed approach

This conversation is especially timely as emerging clinical trial data—including results from the Evanthea study—continues to validate a multifactorial, root-cause approach to cognitive decline.
Whether you’re concerned about your own memory, have a family history of Alzheimer’s disease, are navigating perimenopause or menopause, or simply want to protect your brain for decades to come, this event will provide clarity, strategy, and hope.

Practical ways to shift your body into a calmer, more regulated state

✅ A clear understanding of how your hormones, metabolism, and muscle mass interact
✅ A game plan for strength training and nutrition that works with your body, not against it

2026-03-25 17:30 - 19:00 | Whole Life Health Care, 100 Shattuck Way, Newington, NH, 03801, United States
For decades, we were told there was little we could do to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
That’s no longer true.
Join Dr. Sarah Jeffrey, New Hampshire’s only RECODE-certified practitioner (Reversal of Cognitive Decline), for an in-depth look at the science of Alzheimer’s prevention — and what you can do now to protect your cognitive health.
We’ll cover:

The most important preventable risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease

Why memory decline is often driven by multiple, modifiable causes

The roles of inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, sleep, stress, and hormones

Sauna & Sync: A Women’s Hormone Hydrotherapy Experience
2026-03-22 09:30 - 11:30 | Banya, 350 Rte 1 Byp S, Portsmouth, NH, 03801, United States
Sauna and cold plunge aren’t one-size-fits-all — especially for women.
Your hormones shift how your body responds to heat, cold, stress, and recovery. When aligned with your cycle, hydrotherapy can support mood, circulation, detox pathways, metabolism, and resilience. When misused, it can spike cortisol, disrupt sleep, or leave you feeling drained.
Join Dr. Sarah Jeffrey and Dr. Luciana Silva of Aya Naturopathic Medicine for a women-only experience designed around female physiology.
The morning begins with a 30-minute Hormone Masterclass, where we’ll cover:

How different phases of the menstrual cycle respond to heat and cold

When to lean into intensity and when to modify

Adjustments for PMS, high stress, and perimenopause

Then you’ll move into a guided sauna and cold plunge experience, learning how to use timing, intensity, and breathwork to optimize—not override—your hormones.
This is hydrotherapy done intelligently, intentionally, and in sync with your body.
Small group. Expert-led. Designed specifically for women.

Date: Sunday, March 22nd
Time: 9:30-11:30 am
Cost: $39

Yoga Nidra and Stress Herbs
2025-06-13 18:00 - 20:00 | Nourish Body Mind Soul, 567 Calef Hwy., Barrington, NH, 03825, United States
Calm from the Inside Out
Join Dr. Sarah Jeffrey, ND, of Aya Naturopathic Medicine to learn about herbs for stress management. We’ll begin with a look at the science of stress and how it impacts the nervous system, followed by an introduction to calming herbs you can see, smell, and taste in various forms.
Next, you’ll be guided through the concept of a “plant sadhana”—a personal practice of working closely with one plant to build connection and receive its support more deeply. You’ll receive a worksheet with ideas and prompts to help you choose and begin your own plant journey.
We’ll close with a guided Yoga Nidra practice, a deeply restful meditation that promotes nervous system regulation and inner clarity. During this practice, you’ll be invited to connect inward and discover which plant ally is calling to you.

7 Hobbs Rd, North Hampton, NH 03862

What if your stubborn weight gain, low energy, and brain fog weren’t due to “doing it wrong”—but due to your hormones changing? In this powerful and practical talk, naturopathic doctor Dr. Luciana Silva will break down exactly what’s happening to your metabolism during perimenopause—and more importantly, what you can do about it. You’ll learn why traditional diet and exercise approaches stop working in your 40s, and why strength training is the #1 most effective tool to support your hormones, energy, and body composition.
You’ll also get exclusive insights from Joshua Gould, personal trainer and founder of Seacoast Strength, who will dive deeper into what actually works when it comes to building strength and fueling your body during this powerful transition.
🎯 You’ll walk away with:
✅ A clear understanding of how your hormones, metabolism, and muscle mass interact
✅ A game plan for strength training and nutrition that works with your body, not against it
✅ Simple, science-backed steps to feel stronger, leaner, and more energized—without spending hours in the gym
This isn’t just another wellness talk—it’s an invitation to take your power back. Bring your girlfriends, grab a drink, and get ready to feel inspired, informed, and unstoppable. 💪
