During an ayurvedic consultation we may address any questions you have about your current life situation and feeling of well being. Ayurveda focusses on three pillars to achieve health: life style, nutrition and the mind. 60 % of all illnesses are alleviated and/ or cured by changing our life style, diet and bringing the mind into a sattvic state ( state of contentment ). This is done with the help of yogic techniques like meditation, breathing and relaxation techniques and reflection/ self study. Changing our life style and nutrition  will result in a mind that is more clear, calm and will make appropriate decisions in life.The healing process is enhanced by therapy such as treatments, a pancha karma and herbs. I can also guide you in several simple cleanses you can do at home.

Ayurvedic consultation gives you the road map on where to start and how to stay on the right track within this process. Often clients choose to connect once a month to see what is up, what needs to be fine tuned and to get deeper insight in them selves.

Ayurveda is an art of living, a path that we walk during our life. The connection to the teacher/healer, the self study  and uplifting company/environment are equally important to live a happy and healthy life connected to Spirit. So that we become who we truly are.
