Ayurveda Consultations

The Ancient Tradition of Ayurveda

A Holistic and Individualized Approach to Wellness

Ayurveda, an ancient system of holistic medicine originating from India, encompasses a comprehensive approach to achieving and maintaining health through lifestyle, diet, exercise, and understanding one's unique mind-body constitution. 

What to Expect in an Ayurvedic Consultation

A typical initial consultation and protocol will cover the following main pillars of health, among other things.

| Lifestyle

Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of aligning daily routines with the natural rhythms of the body and the surrounding environment. This includes practices such as rising with the sun, engaging in daily meditation or mindfulness, and getting adequate rest. Understanding your lifestyle, and providing suggestions to enhance your daily routine will be a key aspect of my Ayurvedic consultation.

| Diet

Central to Ayurvedic principles is the belief that food is medicine. The consultation will delve into your eating habits and recommendations to your diet is individualized based on your dosha, or unique constitutional type. The focus will be to balance the qualities of different foods to support overall well-being.

| Exercise

Ayurveda advocates for regular physical activity that is in harmony with your constitution and current state of health. The protocol that I will suggest that may include activities such as yoga, walking in nature, and practicing mindful movement will align with your constitution.

| Dosha, Prakriti, and Vikriti

Ayurveda recognizes three doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha - that govern various physiological and psychological functions within the body. Each of us is born with a specific combination of these three doshas that is unique to us. This is our prakriti. When this state of harmony, goes off balance, it creates vikriti, which causes illness, discomfort and disease. Understanding one's prakriti (original constitution) and vikriti (current state of imbalance) is fundamental to tailoring lifestyle, diet, and therapeutic approaches for optimal health. The initial consultation will include a detailed intake, based on which I will assess your prakriti and vikriti, which is the basis for the Ayurvedic protocol that I will recommend.

Your Constitution Is Unique To You. So Must Be Your Health Protocol.
