Having also been trained as a Naturopath, I choose Ayurveda as my 'medicine of choice' for treating clients, friends, family and myself, as I understand and recognise its incredible power.  Unlike other forms of medicine (many natural therapies included), Ayurveda has the ability to diagnose pre-symptoms of illness/ailments and treat those symptoms before the disease arises.  Ayurveda treats firstly through prevention of illness, and secondly through true cure of the ailment by removal of the cause.

Lifestyle Consultation (1 1/2 - 2 hours) - For general advice, or for the advice on mild to moderate ailments such as:
Allergies, Asthma, Hayfever, Eczema and rashes, Coughs and Colds, Headaches, Low Energy, Urinary Infections, Digestive problems (eg. Constipation, Heartburn, Indigestion...), Weight Gain/Loss, Women's Reproductive Problems, Musculoskeletal problems, Heart Problems (eg. High Cholesterol and Blood pressure).

I specialise in Women's Health!

As treatment, in order to remove the cause of the ailment and return the body to natural balance, I advise clients on Ayurvedic approach to:
diet, nutrition, and cooking
lifestyle regimes, exercise, pranayama (breathing techniques) etc...
herbs and supplements
massage, beauty and women's health care
environment, eco-friendly lifestyle, choosing safe and natural personal and household products, etc...

Ayurvedic Massage and Treatments (1 hour) - Ayurvedic Massage for: Relaxation, stress-reducing, strengthen and for general health and invigoration. (This service is for Women only, if Men would like a recommended Ayurvedic Massage Practitioner in your area, please contact me for details.)

Special Ayurvedic treatments for:
Musculoskeletal ailments and injuries, eye problems, upper respiratory tract problems (sinusitis, hayfever, runny nose, colds, asthma...)

Ayurvedic Herbal Remedies and Products - For specific ailments, for general health, and also beauty products:
Internal Medicine - tablets, capsules, churnas-powders, jams-rasayanas, asavas/arishtas-liquid formulas
External Medicine/Beauty Products - Medicated and plain oils, soaps, hair powders, Vicco toothpaste, incense, ear candles, copper tongue scrapers, and some cooking spices, ghee and jaggery.
