Ayurvedic Services

An Ayurvedic consultation is the best place to begin if you would like an individualized approach to your health and wellbeing.

We look at your constitution (Prakriti), current state of imbalance (Vikriti), digestion, elimination, sleep, energy, diet, daily routines, stress and other factors that may be influencing how you feel.

A significant part of my practice is working with clients who are living with chronic health concerns. Ayurveda allows us to look beyond a single diagnosis and consider the broader patterns that may be contributing to imbalance.

Based on the assessment, recommendations may include food and lifestyle adjustments, Ayurvedic herbs, daily routines, breathing practices and traditional Ayurvedic procedures.

A 90-minute consultation is recommended for new clients. Shorter appointments are available for follow-up visits.

Traditional Ayurvedic massage uses warm herbal oils selected according to your constitution and current needs.

Abhyanga is a rhythmic full-body oil massage traditionally used in Ayurveda to nourish the body, support relaxation and promote a sense of grounding and wellbeing.

We offer two-hand Abhyanga, four-hand Abhyanga, and sessions that combine Ayurvedic techniques with deeper therapeutic bodywork when appropriate.

The oils and techniques used may vary depending on your current state, season and goals for the session.

Shirodhara is a traditional Ayurvedic procedure in which a continuous stream of warm oil is gently poured over the forehead.

The experience is deeply quieting and is traditionally used to support relaxation, mental steadiness and restful sleep. Many people describe the state during Shirodhara as somewhere between meditation and deep rest.

Shirodhara may be offered as an individual session or incorporated into a broader Ayurvedic or Panchakarma program.

Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s traditional, individualized process of cleansing, restoration and rejuvenation.

At Ayurvedic Way, Panchakarma programs are designed according to your constitution, current state of imbalance, strength, digestion, season and individual needs.

A program usually lasts three to five weeks and may include:

• Ayurvedic consultation

• individualized diet and lifestyle guidance

• herbal support

• a detailed home manual

• 3–10 days of in-person procedures

• follow-up consultation

Depending on the protocol, traditional procedures may include Pinda Sveda, Kati Vasti, Udvartana, Nasya, Basti, Shirodhara and others.

Because every Panchakarma program is different, the exact schedule and cost are determined after an initial assessment.

Graduating from an Ayurveda program is only the beginning of learning how to apply Ayurveda in real practice.

We offer individualized mentoring for students and practitioners who would like support with case review, Ayurvedic assessment, pulse assessment, herbal and lifestyle protocols, Panchakarma planning and the practical challenges that arise when working with more complex cases.

Sessions can focus on a particular case, clinical reasoning, practice development or areas in which you would like greater confidence.
