This world can be tough on the body and the mind. Many of us feel out of balance. Some feel their energy just isn’t what it used to be, others seem to be constantly catching whatever bug happens to be passing. Some are forever trying to lose weight while others have diseases which disturb their peace. Ayurveda (aa-yur-vay-da), the Indian traditional system of medicine with a 5000 year track record, has ways to help with these problems.
Ayurveda uses a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal medicinal preparations, healing oil treatments, yogic practices and purificatory treatments to alleviate a huge array of ailments, physical and mental. Restoring you to your natural balanced state means you can truly enjoy and fulfil your purpose in life. Using Ayurvedic principles, a practitioner can address the root cause of the ailment, loss of peace or balance and work to correct that, rather than solely patching over the symptoms.

Your guidance, compassionate but effective challenge and holding space made it an incredible experience…Thank you again with all my heart."
"Wow, wow and once again!!!!!! What an incredible journey I had, I am so proud of myself for where I have been to how I have got to the place I am now ... I want to thank you personally for navigating me through my absolute roller coaster of emotions, I honestly never thought I could ever open up as I did, you are amazing at what you do, thank you!"
“I cannot thank you enough for yesterday and for the opportunity to walk myself back home to myself. For how safe and comfortable you made me feel during this whole process.”
"What we did together ended up transformative beyond my biggest hopes. My newly found level of awareness in what I am and what stands behind my choices has the most positive impact on quality of my life. And how I show up in the world, daily. Being able to take responsibility for myself in this new way feels incredibly liberating and empowering. So I cannot thank you enough."
"This was a true investment in myself and my future. I'd recommend just signing up to this workshop to anyone considering it. Don’t ask questions, just go, you’ll be looked after from start to finish. The whole weekend was full of facilitation, care, warmth and expertise - I received the answers I was looking for on Day 1 and everything that flowed from there was pure gold."
