Private Practice

Ayurvedic medicine is oriented towards following a simple way of living. “Ayurveda” originated from two Sanskrit names: “ayu” meaning life and “veda” meaning knowledge.  Ayurveda is the “Medicine of Life”.

Ayurveda is a system of medicine implementing the use of natural foods, herbs and oils.  Ayurveda treats clients with methods close to nature, based on the theory that the universe is composed of five elements: space, air, fire, water and earth.  These five elements are components of our internal body and mind.  They are manifested within our bodies through three energies, or doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha.  The act of daily living may alter our innate body functions as these three energies are in constant fluctuation.

Ayurveda treats the root cause of disease while also treating the mind and body simultaneously. Ayurveda identifies the innate energies of each client and assesses any deviation.  Specific foods, herbs and oils are used to bring the mind and body back to its original dosha.  Ayurveda includes the use of color therapy, reiki, cranial therapy, gem stone therapy, yoga and meditation.
