OPTIMAL HEALTH IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT
Ayurveda, known as 'the people's medicine' is traditionally passed down through generational wisdom. Much like you may have your grandmothers chicken soup recipe which when made, provides nourishing food-as-medicine but also evokes a larger sense of being cared for by a loved one. Although simple, the value of this type of medicine is immeasurable.
I aim to stay true to Ayurveda's accessibility through teaching the concepts in easy to adopt principles applicable to our modern lifestyle.
I am committed to giving regular educational events in the NYC area at a minimal cost or offered at a sliding scale when possible.
Personalizing the process can be as useful to the student who has newly discovered Ayurveda as to the individual who has experimented with various health-enhancing modalities. For those hoping to take a bigger step towards realizing their bodies potential, a private consultation is key.
​
PRIVATE CONSULTATION: $400 (2-hour meeting + 1-hour follow up session)
In an Ayurvedic Consultation, we will establish:
1) a foundational understanding of the basic principles of Ayurveda
2) recognition of your own unique constitution or dosha (vata-pitta-kapha)
3) diet & lifestyle recommendations that support YOUR best health and balance.
MOVEMENT & EXERCISE CONSULTATION: $125/hour
Often clients question, what type of exercise is right for me? Perhaps injury, chronic pain or lifestyle changes have you shopping for a new form of movement that can better meet your current needs.
If you are looking for guidance specifically in this area, I provide a consultation that will assess injuries, posture, strength and flexibility to help develop a routine you can do on your own at home, or guidelines you can apply to group fitness classes. I hold teaching certificates for dance, pilates, yoga and the MELT method of myofascial release but have extensive experience as a running coach and athletic trainer to draw from as well.
If one-on-one sessions for specialized training are required that I cannot provide, I have a number of qualified colleagues to refer you to.
