Ayurveda is an ancient holistic system of medicine from India that promotes health by aligning the body, mind, and spirit with the rhythms and laws of nature. It views the body as a microcosm of the universe, made up of the five elements, earth, water, fire, air, and space, which combine to form three vital energies or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each individual has these doshas in unique ratios.
A core principle of Ayurveda is that "one size does not fit all." Each person has a unique constitution, and true healing comes from restoring balance according to individual needs. Ayurveda doesn’t simply address symptoms. It takes time to understand the details of your symptoms, daily routines, lifestyle, emotional patterns, environment, and more to tailor its recommendations specifically for you.
Importantly, Ayurveda places great emphasis not just on what you eat, but on how well you digest and absorb food. Strong digestion, known as agni, is considered the foundation of good health. Even nutritious food can create imbalance if it's not properly digested, so Ayurveda focuses on supporting digestive strength to ensure effective nutrient absorption and toxin elimination.
Book an appointment and give yourself the opportunity to allow your body/mind to rebalance by understanding what it needs.
Initial Appointment Information
Because every individual’s body and mind are unique, you’ll have the opportunity to explain more about you by completing a dosha/ama questionnaire, dietary/lifestyle intake form, and health history form at least 48 hours before your scheduled session. This ensures your consultation is as personalized and effective as possible.
Your session may include mindfulness practices, physical activity recommendations, and dietary/herbal suggestions, all thoughtfully tailored to suit both Western and Eastern preferences.
Session Duration & Fees
The initial session typically lasts one hour, provided all forms are submitted in advance.

My body has indeed presented me with the surprises that are typically seen as one reaches the mid 50's, like gravity seeming a little stronger, grays a bit grayer and joints needing much more TLC.
What is most fascinating about this aging process is that the wisdom of nature and the miracles of our own body, mind and heart have many treasured secretes to share.
These pearls have so often guided me to make the journey through time smoother and even joyful. May we all have that chance to invest in our every day wellness routine like a gardener that lovingly tends to the Earth!
