Ayurveda - ‘the science of life’

Ayurveda is the world’s oldest system of holistic medicine. Recognized
by the World Health Organization as a complete natural health care
system, Ayurveda emphasizes the prevention of disease along with the
promotion of health and longevity. Unlike the Western medical model,
which tends to compartmentalize various aspects of health, Ayurveda
views the mind and body as intimately interrelated parts of the whole
person, equally responsible for the achievement of health or the
development of disease. Based on the “constitutional” model of
medicine, Ayurveda recognizes the unique mind/body constitution of
each individual. Through seasonal routines, yoga postures, correct
mind/body diet, herbs and specific bodywork treatments, Ayurveda
restores the innate healing power of the individual constitution.
Regular and consistent Ayurvedic treatment can become an important
aspect of preventative health as well as alleviate existing challenges.
Remember Your Own True Nature.

Head Massage and Facial Rejuvenation
This therapeutic and energizing treatment draws on the ancient wisdom
of the Tibetan and Indian Ayurvedic systems. The treatment works
locally and reflexively; locally to improve the skin and uplift the face, and
reflexively to relax and nourish the entire nervous system. Work is
concentrated on the face, head, scalp, ears, neck, and shoulders by
stimulating marma points (vital energy points) and re-directing subtle
energies thus relieving stiffness throughout the entire body. 100% natural
Giving Ayurveda oils, herbal pastes and facial mists are used to nourish
and cleanse tissues as well as maintain the tone and elasticity of all skin
layers.
1 hour - $65

Neck and Shoulder Treatment
Experience relief from tension and pain with a combination of Ayurvedic
massage and acupressure.
1/2 hour - $40

Hand and Foot Treatment
The hands and feet are a reflection in microcosm of all the organs and
structures in the body. Expert stimulation of the hands and feet cleanses,
balances and invigorates all of those organs. The gentle stroking and
kneading of acupressure points and energy meridians work to release
toxins from the organs. A vitalizing and relaxing treatment.
1/2 hour - $40
1 hour - $65

Shirodhara
A profoundly relaxing treatment in which warm herbalized oil is gently
poured in a fine stream over the third eye and forehead to soothe and
calm the entire nervous system. Classically it was used for cases of pain
& stress particularly, but not exclusively, in the face, head, neck, and
shoulders. Stimulation to the ‘third eye’ area affects deep centers in the
brain that release brain chemicals such as serotonin, a chemical that gives
us the feeling of pleasure and relaxation. Shirodhara has traditionally
been shown to nourish the hair and scalp, help with fatigue, mental
exhaustion, insomnia, headaches, release stress and tension, and
synchronize the brain waves.

Ayurvedic Consultations

An Ayurvedic consultation involves identifying your mind/body type
through pulse diagnosis, observation and questioning. Daily routines,
dietary suggestions and lifestyle changes are then recommended to
create balance and a state of well-being.

EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques

Based on the ancient principles of Ayurveda and Acupuncture, EFT is a
simple tapping procedure that gently realigns the body’s energy system,
without the use of needles. Unlike other healing methods, EFT
incorporates an emotional element to the healing process, addressing
unresolved emotional issues as a likely cause of physical disease,
psychological dysfunction, and personal performance limits.

Negative emotional experiences disrupt the energy meridians that run
through our body. The physical changes we feel from those disruptions,
like nausea or anxiety, become attached to the memory of that
experience and affect the way we see the world until we heal that
disruption. Properly applied, EFT quickly realigns the energy meridians
with respect to negative memories, disconnects the physical discomfort
that we attached to it, and quite often removes the resulting symptoms.

“Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that
unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all
illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing
tools…as it is for me.”
Eric Robins, MD

concentration, sports
