An ancient solution to modern-day health challenges
With 8 years experience as a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, it has been a joy to see many people improve the quality of their lives and leave behind chronic symptoms through an Ayurvedic lifestyle. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on wellness, I'd love to share the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda with you.
I am also currently pursuing certification as a Health Coach through the Institute for Functional Medicine. I'm very excited by the parallels between Ayurveda and Functional Medicine, which is also referred to as "Root Cause Medicine."
These two disciplines, one ancient, one based in modern scientific inquiry, share a common philosophy of healing: to look deeply, determine the root cause of an imbalance, and bring a collaborative approach between practitioner and client to a healing strategy that involves the whole, unique person: body, mind and spirit.
My role as a coach is to help you discover your own answers, identify the character strengths you possess that will support your journey to optimal wellness, and act as an ally in that journey.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to integrate Ayurveda and Health Coaching to provide both education and the support and inspiration to make lasting change ~ so you can live your best life!

New Client Full Assesment
I will meet with you to discuss your current health concerns & wellness objectives, to share information on Ayurvedic principles, and to help you understand your unique constitution and current state of imbalance from an Ayurvedic perspective. The initial consultation generally lasts about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The follow up appointment is scheduled within two weeks if possible, at which time we will fine tune recommendations about lifestyle, diet & nutrition, and herbal therapies designed to restore balance and help you achieve optimal health and well-being.
Schedule an appointmentWellness Coaching
For established clients or those who are living (or aspire to live) an Ayurvedic lifestyle: Together we will develop a strategy for developing and sustaining a daily and seasonal routine that best supports you and allows you to be your best self. In the coaching relationship, YOU decide what you want to focus on, and I support you and act as your ally. I'll help you look deeper to discover what's stopping you from making the behavioral changes that you know you want to make. I'll hold you accountable for what you say you want, with great compassion and understanding, and I will always honor your journey. Recent studies show overwhelmingly that health coaching greatly increases positive outcomes in healthcare. It is not easy to make lifestyle and dietary changes in an unsupportive culture. The temptations to go "back to your old ways" are everywhere. All the time. A health coach can make all the difference ~ and you can finally reach the level of health and well-being that you long for.
Schedule an appointmentSeasonal Cleanse
Offered spring and fall. The change of season is the perfect time to rest the digestive system, cleanse the tissues and organs of the body, rest and rejuvenate. In traditional Ayurveda, "panchakarma" is the classic deep cleansing therapy recommended to keep the body, mind and spirit in balance with the changing seasons. Panchakarma clinics in the US, in India and other parts of the world offer residential programs from 1 week to 30 days or longer that cost thousands of dollars. I will coach you through an affordable "mini-panchakarma" designed to allow you to maintain a moderate schedule (though you are encouraged to make rest a high priority during this cleanse!), to gently detoxify your system, strengthen your immunity, and enhance your sensitivity to the foods and activities that are balancing for you, and those that are not. Participants also frequently experience weight loss, increased vitality and energy, and improved digestion. I will customize this cleanse to address your unique needs, and optional coaching throughout the cleanse is available.
