Establish care with Heather – Ayurveda and Core Synchronism ($360)office and home visits: Heather Baines reading pulse during an Ayurveda health assessment

We will spend ample time together to understand your health history, concerns, and health goals. Utilizing Ayurvedic diagnostic procedures, I will review your health history and assess your constitution (prakruti), state of imbalance (vikruti), and look at your tongue + fingernails. We will discuss the daily and seasonal practices best suited to your life and needs, your digestive health, elimination regularity (yes Ayurvedists talk about poop, a lot!), and sleep patterns. I offer natural, organic plant-based traditional Ayurvedic medicine, nutritional supplements, and modern formulations. Pancha karma therapy, Ayurvedic bodywork, or other therapies will be recommended if appropriate.

As I am guided, I may offer you a Core Synchronism treatment during this appointment.

This is a 90-120 minute in-person appointment, available in Boulder or Longmont, CO.

Abhyanga Oil Massage Ayurvedic Oil Massage at Roots of Wellness Ayurveda

Abhyanga warm oil massage deeply nourishes the nervous system and skin; cleanses the lymphatic system and supports immunity; brings radiance to the skin and hair; aids in the cultivation of self-love; and supports muscle tone and circulation. During abhyanga oil massage we use traditional or custom medicated oils and essential oils selected for the individual and the season.

“The body of one who uses oil massage regularly does not become affected much even if subjected to accidental injuries, or strenuous work. By using oil massage daily, a person is endowed with pleasant touch, trimmed body parts and becomes strong, charming and least affected by old age.”

Charaka Samhita Vol. 1, V: 88-89

Depending on your location, needs, and urgency, I will refer you into the capable and holy healing hands at Lalita Soma Ayurveda (Boulder) or Soma Mountain Rejuvenation (Longmont).

Shirodhara is a therapeutic treatment for the mind (central nervous and hormone systems) using a continuous stream of warm, medicated oil on the center of the forehead (third-eye) which saturates the crown and scalp of the head. Shirodhara is beneficial to restore mental well being, bestow peace to an overactive or anxious mind, improve sleep quality and address symptoms of insomnia, and relieve chronic pain.

Nasya

One of the five actions of Pancha Karma, this treatment provides an application of medicated oil into sinuses with facial massage and Marma Therapy. Nasya is beneficial for the application of medhya rasayana medicated oils to improve memory, concentration, and focus; to relieve stress, anxiety, fear and negativity and provide mental uplift; to relieve chronic sinus problems, moisturize the sinuses, and provide a physical barrier to reduce sinus allergies; to alleviate and eliminate post-nasal drip; and to reduce frequency and intensity of headache.  It may also be recommended in certain cases for other ear/nose/throat complaints.

Depending on your location, needs, and urgency, I will refer you to the capable hands at Lalita Soma Ayurveda (Boulder) or Soma Mountain Rejuvenation (Longmont).


Warm Oil Dough Ring Basti   

During this traditional Ayurvedic therapy, a pool of warm medicated oil or ghee is retained in a ring of besan (chick pea) flour dough.
