AYURVEDIC NUTRITIONAL AND LIFE STYLE CONSULTATIONS AND SERVICES

Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine, originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Ayurveda translates to science or knowledge of life.

Within Ayurveda, individuals are classified into different body types, or doshas, based on combinations of different elements earth, air, fire, water, and space elements. Dosha types can be vata, pitta, kapha, vata-pitta, pitta-kapha, vata-kapha or tri-dosha. Ayurveda categorizes foods based on their qualities (Gunas) and their effects on the body (Doshas)

I offer health and lifestyle coaching and consulting services in combination with Acupuncture treatments to balance these elements to support healing.In our sessions, we cover various aspects including:

- Strengthening Agni (digestive fire) and Dhatu Agnis for digestion and absorption.

Nutritional counseling is a cornerstone of our approach, following the principle of "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" by Hippocrates. Understanding that each person's nutritional needs are unique, we develop personalized diet plans tailored to individual constitutions and current conditions.

Nutritional advice considers factors such as constitution, present condition, organ systems involved, and seasonal energies. We emphasize eating seasonally and locally grown foods for optimal health. incorporating six tastes into meals, and favoring fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced foods.

We focus on the energetic qualities of food rather than calorie or protein content, promoting healing through whole foods and avoiding processed items.

Lifestyle counseling is integral to addressing the interconnectedness between daily activities and overall health. Recommendations cover daily habits, exercise, spiritual practice, relationships, work-related stress, and major life changes, considering their impact on health.

Modifying behavior according to seasonal energy shifts is emphasized, aligning activities with changing environmental conditions.
