What should I wear?
Please wear soft clothing such as a tee shirt with no collar for neck and shoulder treatments and gym/workout pants without bulky pockets for lower body work.
Can I eat before my appointment?
It's best to eat at least an hour before your appointment so your body can be relaxed and not digesting a heavy meal.
How many treatments are required before I will notice results?
The time it takes to notice results varies for each individual. Some people feel a lot different after one appointment and some people need 5 or 6 appointments before they are aware of major changes. However, most people feel some level of relief after just one appointment.
Ayurveda
How will I know what my dosha is?
It is best to interview with an Ayurveda Professional to understand your Prakriti (your birth dosha) and Vikriti (the current imbalance of doshas).
How long does it take for Ayurveda to work?
Ayurveda is a life science. Small changes can be felt sometimes in a week or less. Disease reversal or management may take more time, six weeks is a good rule of thumb for bigger changes of old conditions to start taking affect and be noticed.
How do I know if Ayurveda is right for me?
If you are open to making changes in your daily lifestyle to live more in harmony with nature, acknowledging different requirements for the seasons, aligning with circadian rhythms, and honoring the imbalance of your doshas and what they need to regain balance, then Ayurveda is for you. Restoring balance of your doshas is like a balm to all parts of your life becoming harmonious.
