Ayurveda is the ancient Indian holistic health system. ‘ayur’ means life & ‘veda’ means science, thus Ayurveda is the science of life, longevity & vitality. Ayurveda is the sister science of Yoga and utilises diet, lifestyle, Yoga, herbs & treatments to encourage overall & sustainable health & wellbeing.

Ayurveda looks at the human being holistically including the physical, mental, energetic and spiritual bodies. In doing this we observe that no illness or dis-ease is purely physical, it will always have roots in the mind and emotions. Instead of treating the symptoms that arise, as modern medicine does, we begin to look for the root cause of all imbalances and work from there. Its like pulling a weed out from the root, rather than just mowing over it and hoping it doesn’t come back. An Ayurvedic healing approach asks us as practitioners, to take our life into our own hands. This means we must begin to observe, reflect and evaluate how our actions have led us to this present moment, knowing that we have spent many years drawing ourself out of balance, that it wont be a quick overnight fix back to a state of health. In doing this, we start to understand the relationship of cause and effect and how we can start to increase the actions that propel us towards health, and start to leave out the directions that draw us more out of balance.

As we begin an Ayurvedic healing journey for your symptoms and your health, I can give you all the advice, guidance and recommendations to support you, but it has to be you that commits and takes the actions every day to move your health towards your unique state of balance.
