The Ancient Science
of Ayurveda
Ayurveda is nature based living, and a place where science and spirituality meet. It’s an ancient system of wellness that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda is the self care aspect of yoga, and is translated as “The Knowledge of Life” (Ayur = Life and Veda = knowledge or wisdom). This ancient science is of the understanding that EVERYTHING in the Universe is made up of the 5 elements - Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth - including us! Ayurveda teaches us that we are not separate from nature, we ARE nature.
The elements are condensed into 3 combined pairs that are a unique blueprint called a constitution or dosha.
Vata (ether + air) - responsible for the movement and communication of the body and mind
Pitta (fire + water) - responsible for digestion, metabolism, and energy production
Kapha (Water + Earth) - responsible for structure and stability of the body, and lubrication of the joints
The doshas are like the primary colors. Every color is made up the primary colors, and the doshas work in the same way. Everyone and everything is made up of the doshas, just in different percentages. Once you know your dosha (and more specifically your doshic imbalances), you know how to take care of yourself (diet, exercise, self care practices. etc.) that will meet your own unique needs.
The goal of Ayurveda is to support your body, mind, and spirit holistically, live in alignment with nature, and get in touch with your true nature.
As a Holistic Health and Ayurveda Health Counselor, I offer lifestyle support, education, encouragement and accountability in the areas where you may feel imbalanced. You let me know what your health goals are, and I help you get there! I help you prioritize your self care, and assist in making simple diet and lifestyle changes that have the potential to make profound changes in your life. As a health educator and wellness guide, I meet you where you are. My mission is to help you bring more awareness into your life, and be a reminder that the best gift you can give others is the best version of yourself! I help you step into your power of creativity, and empower you to create the life you want!
