A perpetual state of flux is the only constant we can be sure of in our contemporary lives. The sun rises and falls each day; and seasons change. In Melbourne, where I live, weather changes daily! Simply put, “life” happens around us and we need to learn to gracefully adapt with change as not all of it is in our control. With all the variables and challenges in our day to day living, how can we remain steadfast, grounded, stress-free and feeling in balance and flow? 

Ayurveda is an ancient, holistic practice of medicine dating back to India over 5000 years ago.  The recorded scriptures, known as vedas, outline very clearly, routines and regimes we can adopt in our day and throughout the seasons in our life to remain in balance as our world fluctuates around us. Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help bring balance to body, mind and spirit. It allows us to align to our nature.

Preventing ill health and dis-ease is just as important as managing illness if and when it arises. We shouldn’t wait to get sick to begin a healthy lifestyle and diet and we most definitely shouldn’t view investing in our health as a luxury item! Health is our wealth. We need to make our health the most important priority. Without our health, we cannot thrive in all areas of life.

Working with me, I will create a holistic health plan specific for your needs, detailing ideal foods and daily routines, and may include recommendations for exercise, yoga and pranayama, herbal medicine, therapeutic body treatments and even spiritual practices like meditation or mantra to restore and support balance in the body-mind so you can thrive with joy.

It is not a one-size-fits-all approach for your health. You are uniquely you so the health plan I create for you will meet you where you are to support you to feel your most vital. This plan will consider your current capabilities, time and circumstance so habit forming can feel easeful with all that you have going on in your world.

As a chef having worked throughout the world for many years before transitioning to become a practitioner of Ayurveda over a decade ago, I will help you get your nourishment and nutrition back on track and bolster your digestion. You leave a doctors clinic with a prescription, you will leave my clinic armed with recipes to use food as your medicine!

Following an ayurvedic lifestyle plan can reduce stress, anxiety, correct digestive imbalance, reduce inflammation, correct and maintain a healthy weight, improve sleep, balance hormones, strengthen immunity and even support auto-immune disorders, chronic fatigue, arthritis, skin issues and improve mental health.
