Vanessa's style of Wellness-Lifestyle Coaching is an integration of Western Herbology and AyurVeda. This style allows you to easily incorporate the necessary daily routines into our western lifestyle. When we find balance, we find health. The goal is to understand the client’s constitutional patterns and their biological individuality. To get to the root of the imbalance and bring them back to wholeness.
AyurVeda, "the science of life", exists to keep mankind healthy and teaches us to know ourselves on a deeper level. From an Ayurvedic perspective, disease cannot live in a perfectly balanced body, one where body and mind are working in harmony.
The roots of AyurVeda originated from the Indian sub-continent. This is a highly personalized system of healing that looks at the whole body (body, mind, & soul) and recognizes that you are a unique individual with a unique mixture of elements (air, ether, water, earth, & fire). AyurVeda acknowledges that each individual's health requirements are ever changing, and aims at bringing the body gently back into balance by using opposite qualities. The asanas (postures) and pranayamas (breath work) used in Yoga (the sister science of AyurVeda), morning routines, what we take into our senses, and the foods and herbs we take in can all bring us in or out of balance.
AyurVeda is one of the most beneficial avenues in disease prevention. Creating a healthy foundation by addressing the intellectual, spiritual well-being, as well as physical health, can bring us back into balance.
The consultation consists of two meetings. The first meeting is to help determine the constitution and imbalance of the client, and the second is to discuss recommendations to assist in restoring balance. $125
