Ayurveda is an ancient health care system developed in India over 5,000 years ago – making it the oldest form of medicine.

It is based on the 5 elemental theory of Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth that make up everything around us.  The dominant elements present in a person determine their unique combination of Doshas.  The Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) make up the cornerstone of Ayurvedic treatment.  The Vata energy is responsible for movement (ie, circulation).  Pitta energy is responsible for metabolism (ie, digestion).  Kapha energy is responsible for structure (ie, physical body).  We all possess all three doshas, but at different degrees giving us our unique appearances and personalities.  When these doshas are out of balance, due to life’s challenges, we experience dis-ease.

In treatment the root cause is the main focus of Ayurveda.  Just as when putting out a fire we point the extinguisher at the base of the flame, when treating an illness we address the root cause.  By living well and making healthy choices, we are brought into balance and subsequently heal.  It is truly a holistic approach to health.

In Ayurveda, every person is unique.  I will design a specific diet & lifestyle plan for you, and guide you on the journey of living a healthful life.

By learning how to live a healthier life, the progress of your healing is in your hands!
