Ayurvedic Wellness Coaching and Treatments

Ayurveda is a unique health science for understanding and managing wellness in the body, mind, and spirit. Bringing forth the traditional wisdom of India, is an integral sister science to yoga and Vedic astrology. Ayurveda respects and focuses on the uniqueness of each individual body-mind in addressing health and wellness. By emphasizing prevention, Ayurveda empowers everyone to take responsibility for their own well-being.

Ayurvedic Wellness Coaching

In an individual Ayurvedic Wellness Coaching session, we will begin by with an in-depth intake session to determi your unique body-mind constitution, investigating the patterns of your body and mind, and conversing about your health, diet, and routines. This includes physical observational assessment and pulse reading. With an understanding of your individual constitution, I will help you form a plan that works for you, with guildelines and suggestions for what foods, herbs, spices and daily routines can best support your unique path to balanced health and wellness. We’ll address issues such as digestion, stress, and pain, among others. We will work together to develop a simple protocol that you can integrate into your daily life to improve your quality of living and feeling. A coaching session can be accompanied by any combination of other supportive treatments. $175, 90 minutes

At-Home Spring Cleanse

Detailed 10-Day DIY At-Home Protocol.
Reset your digestion and boost your immune system for the coming season. I recommend getting a personal consultation ahead of this so that we can tailor the cleanse to your specific constitution and needs.

Abhyanga

Abhyanga is the traditional Ayurvedic oil treatment wherein warm herbal oil is applied with gentle circular strokes to the entire body, head, and feet. This deeply nourishing treatment aims to pacify vata dosha through the absorption of the herbal oil into the body, calming the mind and nervous system. It also benefits the circulatory, lymphatic, and digestive systems, promoting better health and well-being on many levels. This treatment is recommended on a regular basis, as well as in conjunction with a cleanse. Suitable for all constitutional types. (60 minutes)

Dough Basti

Warm herbal oil or ghee can be applied locally for pain relief to different parts of the body, such as the back, low back, or heart area. A dough barrier is constructed and stuck to the body, and then filled with warm oil that is circulated and reheated for a time.

For eye pain relief, in Netra Basti, the dough barrier is placed around the eyes, and warm ghee is poured into the area. One then opens the eyes and looks around, blinking, allowing the ghee to circulate around the eye. This is an incredible treatment for anyone with vision problems or glasses. It cleans debris from in and around the eyes, and reliefs eye muscle tension and strain. (45 minutes)

Marma Point Therapy

Marma chikitsa is the Ayurvedic protocol that treats the vital sensitive points on the body, known as marmani or marma points. In this treatment we apply gentle pressure to the vital points using the fingers as well as tuning forks set at 136 vibrations per second (associated with the sacred bija mantra “Om”). Stimulating these points awakens the inner pathway of spiritual light and energetic healing. Different points can be associated with emotional blocks as well as physical conditions. This energy treatment is deeply nourishing, relaxing, and refreshing. (60 minutes)

Svedana (Sauna)

Svedana indicates “sweating” and is an essential part of an Ayurvedic Pancha Karma cleanse. We utilize a dry infrared sauna for 20-45 minutes to induce sweating after other Ayurvedic treatments, especially Abhyangha. This helps to promote circulation and detoxification as well as relaxation, muscle & joint pain relief, clearer skin and better sleep. It assists the immune system and has been said to help with weight loss and the reduced appearance of cellulite. (Available only in conjunction with other services.)
