Jane Stoudt

Jane Hanna Stoudt is an author, Christian yoga therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner, and clinical herbalist. Her Christian faith is at the heart of her life and work, grounding her belief that healing involves the whole person, body, mind, and spirit and that God meets us with compassion in the ordinary details of our lives.

For more than thirty years, Jane has studied herbs and holistic health, alongside yoga therapy and Ayurveda. Her own experiences with digestive challenges deepened her interest in gut health and the ways digestion can shape a woman’s well-being, especially through menopause and other seasons of change.

Jane is the founder of My Happy Belly, a project devoted to helping women explore digestive health with curiosity and care. Through writing, recipes, practical resources, and her ongoing studies, she brings together Ayurvedic perspectives, Mediterranean food traditions, and modern gut-health knowledge. Her hope is to make learning feel welcoming and useful, and to help women find sustainable ways to nourish themselves.

Jane has also served as a Christian counselor, focusing on human flourishing and supporting people as they grow toward lives of greater meaning, resilience, and wholeness. She is the founder of The Well Read Bible Project, which helps women read, understand, and apply Scripture with greater confidence. Across her work, Jane hopes to make room for thoughtful learning, compassionate care, and the hope she finds in Christ.
