About Ayurveda

"Ayur" - life, "Veda" - Science

Ayurveda - the science of living life fully. Originating in India over 5000 years ago, Ayurveda is an ancient and profound science that allows individuals to discover balance. The strength of Ayurveda lies in its embracing the individual constitution of every person, instead of relying on a one-size fits all approach. In this process a person becomes empowered to begin looking at their environment and connecting it to how they may be feeling physically or mentally. One uses this growing understanding of Ayurveda to bring in qualities that foster and maintain balance while moving away from and limiting those that dont. Balance can be felt in the body through fewer occurrences of allergies, congestion, colds, or other illness coupled with greater energy, mental clarity, alertness, ease and happiness in life. By understanding what this balance feels like we are able to transition towards a greater place of ease and away from dis-ease as we move through life.

Ayurvedic Health Consultations

Initial Consultations
Initial Consultations are 60-120 minutes in length. Before the consultation you will be asked to fill out an in depth health and life history form.

Together you will explore the current state of your body, wellness concerns, diet, and other areas depending on your individual needs. Following your consultation, she will compile and email you an individualized packet of Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle materials to help you address your concerns, and schedule a brief phone call to discuss any additional questions.
