About the Author

Catalina Arango

Catalina is an Ayurvedic practitioner, author, and the founder of Awaken Prana Press — an independent publishing house dedicated to making Ayurvedic wisdom accessible through the things families already love: the books they read at bedtime and the food they cook together.

Born between Medellín and Bogotá and raised in Miami, she grew up in a family with deep, multigenerational Colombian roots and a culturally ingrained reverence for nature — expressed through finca life, biodiversity, and an intuitive understanding that the earth provides everything we need.

Her first encounter with Ayurveda came during yoga teacher training in 2013. What she discovered was not something foreign — it was a framework for the wisdom her grandmothers had always known.

Training Ayurvedic Coach & Wellness Educator

Based in Miami, Florida

Also Founder, Awaken Prana AI Ayurveda App
