THE initial Ayurvedic Consultation
Virtual sessions AVAILABLE NOW
Ayurveda is an ancient system of health that focuses on the complete person including body, mind and spirit. This lived wisdom understands that people are more vulnerable to health conditions when vital energies of the mind, body and spirit are out of balance. Ayurveda thus teaches that by balancing the various mind-body functions with the rhythms and elements of nature, the natural intelligence of the body will automatically bring itself to wellness over time. Ayurveda is not a “quick fix,” and it is the individual’s intentional implementation of the appropriate Ayurvedic practices that brings about improved health and wellness.
