What is Ayurveda?

At the very core, Ayurveda is the ultimate form of self love. To live Ayurvedically is to live in accordance with nature, the seasons, and our natural cycles.

In Sanskrit Ayurveda means “Science of Life”. Ayur meaning “life” and Veda meaning “knowledge or science”. Ayurveda was developed in India and has been passed down for thousands of years as an entire medicine system. Where it really shines is in preventative medicine. The wisdom of Ayurveda lies in a deep understanding of the human body and it’s connection to the natural world around us through shared elements and qualities. Ayurveda understands that all though we all share similar qualities, every body is different and “one man’s medicine is another mans poison”. Meaning no two people can be treated the exact same way. The “Ayurvedic lens”, as I like to call it, is a way of seeing, honoring and understanding each person as an individual. There is no “one size fits all” in Ayurveda.

That’s why my main approach in helping clients is individualized. I don’t have a standard x, y, z outline that I use because everyone is different and deserves a unique plan. The roots of my mentorship program and overall approach to health lies with Ayurveda and it’s ancient wisdom. My main focus is to get you aligned with the Earth’s natural cycles and rhythms, that alone will drastically improve your health and change your life.

The reason I say Ayurveda is the ultimate form of self love is because the wisdom and the practices that are shared come from a place of deep reverence for the human body and our Earth Mother. Not just the physical body but the mind, emotions, and spiritual body as well. As individualized as Ayurveda is, it’s teachings are really just ways in which to take care of yourself from the inside out on a daily basis. To live Ayurvedically is to make a commitment to yourself for your highest good and your highest health. It’s really that simple! That’s why it’s so powerful. It’s not a diet, it’s not a prescription, it is a deep connection and love you build for yourself that is undoubtedly ALL you need to be and feel radiant.
