A perpetual state of flux is the only constant we can be sure of in our contemporary lives. The sun rises and falls each day; seasons change. In Melbourne, where I live, weather changes daily! Simply put, “life” happens around us and not all of it is in our control. With all the variables and challenges in our day to day living, how can we remain steadfast, grounded, stress-free and feeling in balance and flow? 

Ayurveda is an ancient holistic practice of medicine dating back to India over 5000 years ago.  The recorded scriptures, known as vedas, outline very clearly, routines and regimes we can adopt in our day and throughout the seasons in our life to remain in balance as our world fluctuates around us. Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help bring balance to body, mind and spirit. It allows us to align to our nature.

Preventing ill health and dis-ease is just as important as managing illness if and when it arises. We shouldn’t wait to get sick to begin a healthy lifestyle and diet and we most definitely shouldn’t view investing in our health as a luxury item! Health may be assumed and not given priority in our busy, modern lives until the time we become sick. It is then we may realise that our health is the most important priority. Without our health we cannot thrive in life.

Working with me, I will create a holistic health plan specific for your needs, detailing ideal foods, daily routines, exercise, yoga and pranayama, herbal medicine, therapeutic body treatments and even spiritual practices like meditation or mantra to restore and support balance in the body-mind so you can thrive with joy. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach for your health. You are uniquely you so the health plan created for you will meet you where you are to support you to improve your diet and lifestyle. This plan will consider your current capabilities, time and circumstance.

As a chef having worked throughout the world for many years before transitioning to become a practitioner of Ayurveda over a decade ago, I will help you get your nourishment and nutrition back on track and aligned with your unique needs. You leave a doctors with a prescription, you leave my clinic armed with recipes to use food as your medicine!

Following an ayurvedic lifestyle plan can reduce stress, anxiety, correct digestive imbalance, reduce inflammation, correct and maintain a healthy weight, improve sleep, balance hormones, strengthen immunity and even support auto-immune disorders, chronic fatigue, arthritis, skin issues and improve mental health.
