Life can be challenging, affecting both our bodies and minds. Many people feel out of balance, with some experiencing low energy, frequent illnesses, weight issues, or mental health challenges. Ayurveda, a 5000-year-old Indian traditional medicine system, combined with Jungian-based Shadow Work, offers a powerful solution to these problems. By restoring your natural balance, you can fully enjoy and fulfill your life's purpose.
After 20 years of Ayurveda and 12 years of Shadow Work, we have found that a gentle yet focused combination of the two ensures not only the best but the longest lasting physical and mental health results. Gently exploring physical, mental and emotional issues using coaching methods allows you to discover more about yourself and take your health into your own hands. Alongside self-insight and transformational shifts, you'll receive personal prescription of diet, lifestyle, purificatory treatments and herbal medicines. Using Ayurvedic and Shadow Work principles, we can address the root cause of ailments rather than patching over the symptoms.
The Ayurveda Practice is a well-established clinic with a proven track record. Over a thousand clients have benefited, as evidenced by numerous testimonials. Kate Siraj, a fully qualified Ayurvedic Practitioner (BSc Ayurveda, Manipal) and Shadow Work facilitator and coach, has 20 years of experience. She also holds a Chemistry Degree from Oxford University, blending scientific knowledge with creative intuition. Waqar Siraj, with 25 years of corporate leadership development experience, joins Kate in running Shadow Work retreats.
