Hello, lovely. I’m Devon Ray Battaglia. “About” pages can be so informal and stuffy, so I’d rather we imagine we’re having a cozy chat with some herbal tea and talking about life’s greatest mysteries.

I’m not just the founder of The InnerSpark Method, an Integrative Health Expert, an Ayurvedic Health Advisor, or a Holistic Coach. I’m someone who has navigated life’s challenges and found my true self in the process. At my core, I’m a seeker, just like you.

My journey has been full of ups and downs, moments of feeling “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.

For a long time, I was stuck in the cycle of self-improvement followed by more self-loathing, and always believing there was something just “wrong” with me. I believed that if I could just get everything “right,” I’d finally be happy.

From society’s point of view, I didn’t fit the “norm.” I tried to cope in different ways—seeking comfort in substances and endlessly searching for answers outside of myself.

But every so-called flaw, every time I felt out of place or overwhelmed, was actually leading me back to myself. Back to my InnerSpark.

As I delved deeper, I realized that the feeling of “wrongness” wasn’t about me. It was a result of what I have coined as “Feminine Shame,” or the real reason we’re all disconnected and unwell. This internalized cultural disdain for the natural rhythms of life was wreaking havoc on me!

In my quest for grounding, I connected with the sacred rhythms and wisdom of Nature and its cyclical wisdom on a daily and seasonal basis. These life-saving practices would go on to become the basis of everything I offer and how I work with others.

By embracing my so-called “shadows” and transforming shame into nourishment, joy, and confidence, I started living from a place of intuitive wisdom instead of fear.

I learned that embracing stress, trauma, and shame (“The Big 3 Resilience-Zappers” as I call them), actually leads to greater resilience, vitality, and joy.

Throughout my journey, I’ve explored many holistic paths. I’ve gathered knowledge and experiences that shaped my approach. Whether it’s my Master’s in Integrative Health & Nutrition, certifications in Ayurvedic Health and Coaching, as well as certifications and formal studies in meditation, yoga, energy healing, breathwork, flower essence therapy, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, and others, each has been a stepping stone toward crafting The InnerSpark Method.

Now, my mission is to guide those who feel overwhelmed and lost towards a gentler, simpler, and more empowered life. I’m here to help you reignite your InnerSpark and dance through life’s challenges with grace, resilience, and joy.
