Ayurveda

What is Ayurveda:

Ayur - means life and veda means study of - so this is quite literally the study of life and this study has been around for over 5000 years. Through careful study of the body, mind, and spirit, Ayurveda has become a holistic healing practice that will help heal you and your unique needs. 

Ayurveda really places importance in how we interact with our environment. In this system of healing, harmonious interactions lead to health and balance in our lives, while disharmonious interactions lead to disease. By understanding our bodies, mind, and spirit we learn what is harmonious for us and what isn’t.

What our care looks like:
The tools of Ayurveda are powerful in both preventing disease in those who are healthy and curing disease in those who are ill. The practice of Ayurveda involves working with all five senses utilizing diet, color, aroma, sound, yoga, meditation and much more to restore harmony and balance.

The first step on your path to optimal health begins with an Initial Consultation. This consultation will include an intake and assessment followed by a report of findings. From this experience, you can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the foundational principles of Ayurveda, a summary of your constitution and Vikruti (current state of imbalance), as well as initial recommendations to begin your healing journey. We understand that it has taken time for your mind-body to develop any imbalances you are experiencing, and with this knowledge we recognize that the healing journey too will take time.

At your report of findings meeting (scheduled at your initial consultation), your practitioner will outline the best treatment plan based on you as a unique individual, and you can expect to work with them in an ongoing manner for 6-12 months. Throughout this time your treatment plan will be implemented at a pace appropriate for you. Our goal is to provide you with the tools of Ayurveda, which will empower you to be able to make choices in your life that will create and sustain optimal health and peace of mind.
