Ayurveda is a profound art and science of well being.
As traditional medicine, Ayurveda is based on ancient wisdom codified in the Vedic texts of India many thousands of years ago, long before the western medicine system was established. Ayurveda is a system designed to reverse disease patterns, support holistic healing and tissue regeneration, uplift the mind resulting in improved mental health, sleep, vitality, and potent energy.
With Ayurveda I empower you to take your health into your hands, armed with knowledge about your specific and individual prakruti or body-mind tendencies, to harness and align the power of the five great fundamental and indivisible elements:
The element of space is known as akasha. It is the fundamental fabric out of which the manifest universe is woven. Every organ and every molecule in the body needs its proper space. Spaciousness in the mind allows for expansive and creative thought processes, and a willingness to be curious and open-minded.
Vayu, the element of air or wind, is responsible for all mobility and motion in the body. Blood flow, nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and the wavelike motions of the stomach and intestines required for healthy digestion and proper elimination are all governed by the health of vayu.
Fire is named agni in Ayurveda. The fire principle is responsible for all metabolic processes in the body, as well as the processing and cognition of sense perception.
Your body is made up of over 70% water. Known as jala or ap, the water element is responsible for flow and absorption of nutrients to every tissue in the body. Water keeps the joints, connective tissues, and skin lubricated, smooth and supple.
The earth element, or prtvi, is responsible for form, stability, and strength throughout the body. Ayurveda recognizes the aspect of Matter, or the Mother principle, and Her contribution to our wellness and health.
Can Ayurveda improve my health?
Yes. With the wisdom of Ayurveda and a working knowledge of the five-element system of Ayurvedic medicine, we work together to vastly improve your health and identify and reverse the underlying cause of your symptoms and illness patterns.
Together, we address symptoms or conditions that are:
- Chronic (long term, lifelong) or acute
- Autoimmune
- Injury or trauma related
- Seasonal (like allergies) – or unseasonable and odd (like getting flu in the summertime or losing your appetite in the winter)
- A result of chronic systemic inflammation from infectious agents, your environment, diet choices, and chronic stress
- Simple illnesses such as the “common” cold
- Vague and nonspecific or “I’m just not sure, but I could be better.”
My clients and patients have experienced the following results while in my care:
- Improved metabolism, digestion, elimination, and regularity
- Improved sleep, resolving insomnia
- Reduced blood pressure
- Improved blood lipid levels, reduction in LDL and improved HDL/LDL ratios
- Improved fasting blood glucose and HBA1C levels
- Reduced or eliminated menstrual pain, improved blood flow, volume, and duration
- Vibrant, joyful, and sexy menopause
- Improved sinus and lung health associated with seasonal allergies, environmental toxins, or illness
- Improved mental health, resulting in a brighter, more hopeful, supported, and connected outlook
- Reduction in recovery time, post-surgery. Surgical preparation, and support planning, is important for recovery.
