About Ayurveda: Through the lens of Ayurveda, every individual has their own optimal state of being and their own tendency towards disease, which is affected by their unique metabolism, immunity, and mental state.  By learning your constitution from birth, and the nature of your current imbalance, you will begin to understand the food, herbs, and lifestyle regimens that will enable you to create the most optimal environment for healing to take place. By addressing the root cause of dis-ease which begins in the digestive system and moves forward from there on an individual basis, vitality and general well being are optimized. 
 
Ayurveda teaches that everything we take in through our five senses affects our wellbeing. Through the metaphor of the elements, Ayurveda is able to categorize everything in our environment, our bodies, and our actions in a way to understand how everything is connected. This way, you can apply what you learn to everything you do, and understand how it amalgamates to make your current and future states of being. Visit the "Intro to Ayurveda" tab at the top of the page for more information.

Ayurveda is "the Science of Self Healing," because it is up to you to take the information you learn and implement it into your daily life. However, our habits and tendencies can be the hardest things to change! It takes time to become imbalanced, so it will take time to come into balance. Everyone can go online, do a Dosha  (Ayurvedic Constitutions) quiz, and find out what their imbalances are as well as suggestions to bring balance. But the thing is, these quizzes are very basic and support is needed in a step by step approach to apply long term changes. If it were easy to go online, get a list, and do everything on that list, we would have myriads of people who are healthy and our health care system wouldn't have backlogs due to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, auto-immune or chronic disease. 
 
Ayurvedic Health Counsellors are an incredible resource, who help you to understand your constitution and your imbalance in an in depth manner, getting to the root cause of dis-ease. They are able to ascertain what treatment is appropriate so that you implement the teachings at your own pace, with creative support- so that your challenges are merely bumps in the road instead of roadblocks. You will receive recommendations for dietary herbs, food suggestions, and lifestyle practices in a step by step fashion to help you create a sustainable and successful healthy lifestyle. Consultations and follow up visits are currently available in person, in Edmonton Alberta, as well as online during COVID 19 and for people worldwide who live in other cities.
