    “Knowledge relieves all suffering. Knowledge liberates. Which knowledge?  Chemistry? Physics? Astronomy? Geology? They help a little, but only a little. The true knowledge is the knowledge of our own nature. Know yourself. You must know who you are, understand your inner nature.You must become conscious of this infinite nature in yourself. Then you will break free of your shackles.”

~Swami Vivekananda

HOW WE WORK
In order to get you started on your Ayurvedic program, we need a minimum of two appointments with you. The first appointment is entirely diagnostic in nature. During the first session we will cover your history, your chief complaints and we will run a thorough examination. We need 45 minutes of your time for this first appointment.

We will need 30 minutes of your time for our second appointment together. During this appointment we will cover your constitutional analysis, discussing with you an understanding of your “dosha” or body-mind type. You will receive a file with the dietary and lifestyle recommendations that we have mapped out for you. We will then also discuss the optimal way for you to proceed.


WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
For some clients, these two appointments are sufficient to suit their health needs. For others, we recommend taking you through an Ayurvedic cleansing program called Panchakarma. This means the five cleansing actions and is a beautiful and highly successful program for eradicating disease from the body/mind.
