Ayurvedic Health Counseling

Ayurveda is the ancient, intact system of natural, holistic medicine of India.

It cultivates both individual microcosmic wellbeing - and a deeper harmony with the greater macrocosmic whole!


Together, we'll develop a personalized wellness plan designed for YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS - one that is simple but effective, and which empowers your unique health journey through the wisdom and power of Ayurveda.

​

I will listen to you, work to understand and help us both see things more clearly, all to support and guide you with pragmatic Ayurvedic knowledge. As you share your health concerns and goals, we'll ideally create a foundation of deep listening and the mutual trust, to ultimately develop a simple but effective Ayurvedic plan that can:


  • Support Your Overall Well-being by introducing you to simple Ayurvedic practices that help you achieve optimal health
  • Give you empowering tools for balancing mind, body, and spirit with personalized lifestyle and dietary recommendations.
  • Provide you with greater self-knowledge and practices to take charge of your own health - and make better-informed decisions about your wellness goals.
  • Help you understand yourself better by offering you insights about unique constitution (dosha) and how it influences health and well-being.
  • Encourage the embrace of healthy lifestyle practices such as yoga, meditation, chanting and/or more mindful living to support mental and emotional health.
  • ​Foster long-term health and longevity by helping you learn and develop these ancient and proven approaches to sustainable health and nutrition - ones you can follow throughout your life.


​Ayurveda supports our greatest longevity by empowering us to cultivate health and wholeness as we move through all the stages of our lives. Through Ayurveda, together we can:


  • Prevent Illness: You'll get guidance on preventive measures to maintain your health over the course of your life, to help arrest the onset of diseases brought on by aging, through daily routines, seasonal practices, and holistic therapies.
  • Manage Conditions: I'll offer natural, non-invasive treatments for managing and alleviating symptoms of various health conditions using dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes and sometimes herbal remedies - the majority of which have no side effects, only side-benefits!
  • Promote Seasonal Cleansing: I can guide you through a sensible, digestive toning monodiet and detoxification process in Spring and Fall, and refer you to rejuvenation therapies that further cleanse and renew the body.
  • Naturally and holistically address aging and/or the Menopause transition that sometimes are hard to navigate alone, and too often can wreak havoc on the. body, mind and spirit.
  • Enhance Your Connection with Nature: I love to teach clients simple practices that help us live more in harmony with natural rhythms and cycles, including the seasons and times of day, to support deeper connection, greater health and overall balance

Ayurveda might be the original source of those pithy but wise sayings that still percolate in our culture around lifestyle, food and spiritual practices:


You are what you eat!

Eat seasonal, eat local!

The microcosm reflects the macrocosm!

Health is wealth and old is gold!



Initial Ayurvedic Consultations with me are about 75-90 minutes long and involve filling out a pdf intake form before hand, then going over the pertinent sections together. You'll have an opportunity to share your health concerns/goals and to ask questions. From this initial intake, you'll receive a very detailed email with 3-5 Ayurvedic recommendations, ranging from nutritional guidance, herbal remedies, lifestyle or yogic practices to habituate, Ayurvedic bodywork suggestions, or whatever the Vidya reveals to both of us during your consult. 


Initial consults are offered on a sliding scale: $65-$125 


Follow up consultations are generally 45-60 minutes and are generally booked between 6-8 weeks after the initial consult - but can also be booked any time after you've had an initial consult with me. Just like it says, together we take time to follow up on the recommendations from your initial consult, to review and determine what was helpful or not, and adjust accordingly! Highly recommended, the Follow Up consultation really helps  folks recommit to adopting Ayurvedic practices that compound in benefit over time. 


Follow up consultations are offered on a sliding scale of $45-$100.
