The word Ayurveda is a combination of two Sanskrit terms (Ayu - life and Veda = system of wisdom), which together mean "the wisdom of life." Ayurveda is said to be the mother of all holistic medical systems, originating in India several thousand years ago. Many believe that the classical Vedic texts of Ayurveda offer the clearest and most comprehensive account of the underlying universal principles common to all modern medical systems. Ayurveda is as much a way of life as it is a science. Through our studies and practices, we have found that Ayurveda provides an excellent set of tools for healthy living, and ultimately for achieving physical, mental, social, and spiritual harmony.
We have trained in Ayurveda in the U.S. with Kerala Ayurveda Academy and are each certified through them as an Ayurvedic Wellness Couselor (AWC). We have also trained in Southern India. Recently, in 2008, we completed a clinical internship at the Dixit Health Clinic in Mysore and received Ayurvedic rejuvenation treatments (panchakarma) at Poonthottam Ayurvedasramam in Kerala. While formal training is essential, much of our learning has come from our efforts to live these teachings in our daily lives and through yearly panchakarma treatments.
We provide Ayurveda Wellness Counseling focused primarily on helping individuals achieve greater levels of health and awareness through diet, lifestyle, herbs, yoga therapy, and cleanses.
