[Sanskrit] Ayus - life; Veda - knowledge

Known as the world’s oldest health system, Ayurveda is a stream of knowledge and practice with an approximate track record of 15,000 years (intact oral tradition followed by written tradition beginning ~6,000 years ago). This brilliant system clearly articulates the purpose of human life, the definition of health, as well as how to preserve it; and details a multidimensional understanding of the origin of imbalance/disease as well as how to manage or remove it. Ayurveda describes many important concepts that are just now emerging in Western medicine, including immunity, circadian medicine, individualized approach to nutrition, and the importance of addressing both mind and body when it comes to healing. At the core of this vast body of knowledge is the principle of the interconnectedness of all life. Healing is a journey of reconnection. Whether at the cellular level, deep within our own mind, or in the realm of interpersonal relationship, connection serves life; isolation is destructive. Through the application of Ayurvedic principles, we can create well-being, peace, harmony, and quality of life for ourselves, our loved ones, our community, and our world.

Ayurvedic Health Counseling is an investment in your well-being on every level.

The process begins with a detailed Ayurvedic Health Assessment which provides a picture of your current state. Health is dynamic. Ayurveda is a common-sense science that harnesses the qualities of Nature and our daily activities to cultivate balance as we go through changes. Using the assessment as a guideline, we work together to develop a totally individualized Wellness Action Plan that offers you an empowering experience of progressive education grounded in practice and experimentation. Ayurvedic Health Counseling can be combined with Yoga Therapy (see below) to enhance your results, drawing on various methods of bodywork as well as tools and techniques from the Yoga tradition to complement your diet and lifestyle protocol.

As your Ayurvedic Health Counselor, I serve as your accountability partner. I am here to support you in understanding yourself, prioritizing the optimization of your well-being, and deliberately cultivating it through daily activities. After the initial consultation and assessment, we will establish regular meetings in support of your action plan. Depending on your desired outcomes, follow-up sessions can be in-person, via phone, or video conference, and may be scheduled every 1 - 3 weeks or up to 6 weeks after the first meeting. Follow-up meetings are not required, but are recommended to get the most value from the consultation.

“The tools we use are proven. The practice takes us beyond conceptual understanding into experientially evidenced knowing. The work is a process we co-create, focused on revealing the root of our suffering, recognizing our true nature, removing the blocks to our innate health, strength, peace, and contentment. We discover that we can harness the changing experiences and challenges of life toward ever-deepening levels of integration.”
