Ayurvedic Diet and Lifestyle Consultation

An Ayurvedic Consultation is an opportunity to assess what’s going on in your life and use the many tools of ancient Ayurveda to help bring you to a healthier, more empowered state. First we diagnose your body type (dosha) and note imbalances. We do this by asking questions about your diet, health, and daily routines, paying special attention to your eyes, skin, tongue, body shape, and pulse.

Next, an individualized program will be created to focus on your immediate needs, as well as laying out a thorough, step by step longer-term plan. We make dietary and exercise recommendations and suggest realistic and workable adjustments to your daily self-care routine. Herbs, essential oils, meditation practices, breathing exercises, and yoga postures may be recommended.

 

 

Ayurvedic Hands on Treatments

Ayurveda’s aim is to create and maintain balance in the body, mind and emotions in order to increase health and longevity. The main purpose of the bodywork is to work on the body to help balance the mind and connect you to your deep intelligence and intuition.  All treatments use warm oil to either create grounding or move out stagnancy, to calm an anxious mind or help awaken you out of a depressed state.  Your practitioner will discuss your needs and suggest a treatment that serves you most fully.
