Ayurvedic holistic health consultation

Ayurveda seeks to keep the mind, body, and spirit in perfect equilibrium by examining the relationship one has with oneself, others, and their natural environment. Ayurveda examines human lifestyle practices in a holistic fashion by examining physical existence, mental existence, and personality as a unit, with each element being able to influence others.

During your consultation, together the organizer will determine your dosha and the energies running different aspects of your being. The doshas are biological energies found throughout the human body and mind. They govern all physical and mental processes and provide every living being with an individual blueprint for health and fulfillment. The doshas are dynamic energies that constantly change in response to your actions, thoughts, emotions, the foods you eat, the seasons, and any other sensory inputs that feed your mind and body. When you live into the fulfillment of your individual nature, you naturally make lifestyle and dietary decisions that foster balance within your doshas. When you live against your intrinsic nature, you support unhealthy patterns that lead to physical and mental imbalances.

An Ayurvedic consultation empowers the individual to make the best choices for their unique individual blueprint and constitution in the areas of diet, types of exercise, self-care practices, and daily habits on a deeply personalized level.

Prior to the session, clients will be sent an Ayurvedic questionnaire to assist in the process of determining the dosha that will be used as the foundation for the session.

Spiritual life coaching

Each one of you has made spiritual and philosophical agreements that create the core foundation of what you are creating and manifesting in your lives. These life-changing sessions seek to identify your core spiritual beliefs and to reprogram the ideas that are no longer serving you in creating the life of your dreams. It is based on the idea that you are all our own best healers and guides and that the answers you seek already reside within you, you just have to be willing to ask the right questions and be the witness of what you believe to be your truth.

At the conclusion of the session, you will be offered a list of resources to support you on your spiritual path, along with suggested practices that would empower you along the way. The vision for these sessions is to gently guide you in returning to your Divine Essence of love, joy, and inner peace, which is your birthright.

Somatic trauma and pain body release

Life is full of beauty and love, but at times in your life, that beauty and love can get buried by unprocessed pain and trauma. Taking the time and energy to heal the pain within is quite possibly the most important work you can do in this lifetime. These sessions are designed to get to the very root of the trauma and allow it to be honored, felt, and released from the mind, body, and spirit. During this process, you will mend the pieces that were once broken within you with love, understanding, compassion forgiveness, and hope. No past experience is worth taking away your present joy.

Prior to the session, participants will be given a reflective questionnaire to help identify the trauma or pain body they wish to address during the session. Different holistic transformational tools may be incorporated depending on the participant's needs and desires such as bodywork, breathwork, physical movement, and guided meditations.

Upon completion of the session, participants will be given additional resources and suggestions for them to continue the healing process.
