Ayurveda Health Counseling
Have you ever wondered why you crave certain foods? Why are you drawn to a certain Season? Maybe you have “tried it all” only to feel like you are still searching?
Ayurveda is an ancient medicine that originated in India over 5,000 years ago, and yet, it is just as relevant today! It is often referred to as a '‘Sister Science” to Yoga as both Ayurveda and Yoga are all about bringing the mind, body, and spirit into balance. “Ayur” translates from the Sanskrit language to mean “Life,” while “Veda” means “Science.” So, Ayurveda literally means the Science of Life!
I’ve had Ayurveda referred to as a blueprint for this Human experience. It is in essence living in balance with the natural flow of Nature. Ayurveda understands that all of life is made up of the Five elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. YOU are made up of a unique combination of these five elements. In understanding your unique combination of these five elements, you can support your optimal state of health, in mind, body, and spirit! So cool, right?? I know that you already innately know some of the principles of Ayurveda and I look forward to showing you!
So back to those five elements…. You may have heard of the term “Dosha.” This is a term used to describe specific qualities. The Air and Ether elements combine to form Vata Dosha, Fire and Water form Pitta Dosha, while Earth and Water form Kapha Dosha. Typically, you will present with two of these Doshas as more dominant. Understanding your “baseline” of these Doshas and your current state, will enable you to feel your Optimal best.
This is where an Ayurvedic consultation comes in. Let me aid you in determining your baseline (your state at birth), known as your Prakruti, and your current state, known as your Vikruti. From this information obtained from a thorough history from you, I can create a Wellness Plan involving Diet and Lifestyle guidelines that is tailored just for YOU! This Wellness Plan evolves as we do, and takes many influences into consideration, including where you live and the Season, as well as your age, and so much more.
I am offering a few packages below for you to choose from to receive your Ayurvedic Consultation. All consultations may occur either in-person at my Scarborough home office or by Zoom! The initial consultation will take 2 hours and will encompass reviewing the Health Intake that you will need to complete prior to your appointment, and also a few Ayurvedic diet and Lifestyle recommendations for you to start with immediately. From there, I will follow up in the manner you determine best for you. You can see the options below. This is an amazing step towards empowering you in maintaining your overall Health!! I am so excited to guide you on this journey!!
