Frequently asked questions

What should I expect during an Ayurvedic Consultation?

We’ll get clear on your vision of wellbeing and you’ll share about your health history and any current challenges. I’ll determine your Ayurvedic birth constitution or dosha type through questioning, observation and Ayurvedic pulse analysis. You’ll leave with an understanding of your unique mind-body type and some action items to regain your balance.

What does a wellness plan entail?

Your personal wellness plan is a roadmap from your current state of health to your vision of wellbeing. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of your mind-body type and what foods & lifestyle practices are most balancing. You’ll learn routines and self-care tools to feel your best.

How is Ayurveda different from other alternative health modalities?

Ayurveda focuses on finding the root cause of illness. It works to prevent disease at the source, rather than solely treating symptoms. It is the oldest form of functional medicine.

Do I need to be vegetarian to practice Ayurveda?

Absolutely not. Ayurveda recognizes that each individual is unique and there is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach.

Can Ayurveda help with anxiety?

Yes, its multi-faceted approach works to treat the physical, mental and spiritual bodies. You’ll learn lifestyle practices, diet, self-care and breath work to manage your anxiety and feel stress-free.

How long does it take to see results?

Most clients see immediate improvements in their wellness. Our bodies naturally want to be in balance. We just need to give ourselves the time and space to heal.
