Therapies and Treatments

The two main guiding principles of Ayurveda are the mind and the body are inextricably connected and that nothing has more power to heal and transform the body than the mind. Freedom from illness depends upon expanding our own awareness, bringing it into balance and then extending that balance to the body. This process isn’t as complicated as it may sound. For example, when you deeply relax into a meditative state you effortlessly enter a state of expanded awareness and inner quiet that refreshes the mind and restores balance. Since the mind and body are inseparable, the body is naturally balanced through the practice of deep relaxation. In this deep state of rest, your heart rate and breath slow, your body decreases the production of “stress” hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, and you increase the production of neurotransmitters that enhance well-being, including serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins.

Ayurveda Treatments

Starting with a personal initial consultation to determine your Ayurvedic needs for balancing the mind and body, a treatment will be designed just for you to bring harmonious balance. Treatments are often combined to your individual needs that promote healing, cleansing and relaxation. Each treatment is given in the spirit and intention of sadhana (spiritual practice), creating a scared space for you.

Padabhyanga–Foot Massage–Feet are very important part in our body, as many nerves from many organs terminate in the feet as well as marmas (Ayurvedic pressure points). Massage helps to strengthen these nerves and restores health to many parts of the body. The marma (vital) points are massaged which gives balance to your dosha and is very helpful for people with insomnia, fatigue and cramps. Calms the mind and improves circulation.

Chakra Balancing–There are 7 main energy centers in the body, known as chakras. Each chakra is located throughout our body that correlates to specific body ailment and physical dysfunctions; each energy center also houses our mental and emotional strengths. When we have a physical issue, it creates weaknesses in our emotional behavior. Releasing the stale energy from the body, can undo any tightness, stiffness, or malfunction of that area which allows for a feeling of being grounded, secure and balanced on all levels.
