AYURVEDIC VAIDYA (AD) AND YOGA COUNSELOR
Maryna Stasiuk
I was inspired to study Ayurveda by my family while looking for a holistic way to care about the nearest people. My first step was in homeopathy, then energy healing (Reiki), later on, I was introduced to Vedas and Ayurveda as a part of them.
I was completely smitten by the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and blessed to study it from the root texts, and with the brilliant Vamedeva Ji (David Frawley) and Vaidya Jayarajan Kodikannath, with the support of my family. It is where my Ayurvedic Journey started.
I'm very passionate about following Ayurveda in my daily routines and professional practice. My aspiration is to bring ancient Ayurvedic wisdom worldwide, help people to be established in their health, teach, guide, and support them on their journey.
I believe that the scholarship of Traditional Ayurveda and Yoga can amazingly transform our personal lives and make positive shifts from the stage of the disease to health. I saw this transformation many times, first in myself and my family members then in my Rogis (health seekers). I'm mainly working with chronic conditions, doing my best to help people restore health using all available Ayurvedic tools.
WASHINGTON LICENCED MASSAGE THERAPIST, QIGONG PRACTITIONER (Level 1)

My basic understanding of the integral body started when I met my soon-to-be mother-in-law. She taught me about homeopathy, body awareness, nutrition, balance, and organic gardening. I was forever changed by her wisdom which showed me an open door to healing and awareness.
Later on, I went to Massage School and received my license in Massage Therapy. I feel that giving and receiving a massage is a very special interaction of healing through touch and intuition. I continue my education every two years, which gives me more knowledge about our human bodies and the different ways to activate a healing process.
I took a course in Qigong and learned about amazing breathwork, food as medicine, listening, being still, and Energy that is everywhere and in everything! My world again opened up a new way to think, heal, and be healed. I was so drawn to this Qi/Energy that I got Certified to teach it.
I continue to educate myself in nutrition and detoxification. I’m always curious to learn about how our bodies fall into a dis “ease” and ways to naturally heal our imbalances.
I enjoy nature, its healing properties, its guidance and resilience, and its delicate balance and wisdom to connect and communicate. I believe that we walk a certain path that introduces us to opportunities for growth, friendships, education, enlightenment, and choice.
I was recently introduced to Ayurvedic massage and medicine. I’m intrigued by its healing and nourishing approach to the whole body. I greatly look forward to my journey in this ancient wisdom of health and healing.
