New Service!!!

I am now offer­ing a One Day Detox with Ayurvedic Yoga Con­sul­ta­tion in part­ner­ship with Praana Ayurveda Spa.  Con­tact me for a spe­cial price and more details on this highly indi­vid­u­al­ized heal­ing modal­ity directed towards opti­mal health and balance. 

This 5-hour pro­gram con­sists of the fol­low­ing reju­ve­na­tion therapies:

• Ayurvedic Lifestyle and Nutri­tion Consultation

Ayurveda pro­motes a lifestyle that is in har­mony with nature. Rather than treat­ing the ill­ness, Ayurveda strives to restore the bal­ance in your daily life which in effect trig­gers the body’s nat­ural heal­ing process and metab­o­lism and helps you bounce back to a state of vibrant health and radi­ance. An Ayurvedic Con­sul­ta­tion will help you to under­stand your­self and your body from the per­spec­tive of Ayurveda giv­ing you greater insight into holis­tic liv­ing and opti­mal health.

• Ayurvedic Yoga Con­sul­ta­tion with Lyn­d­say Murray-Kashoid

Ther­a­peu­tic Asana (pos­tures), Pranayam (breath­ing exer­cises), and med­i­ta­tion instruc­tion based on your Ayurvedic Con­sul­ta­tion.  This pro­gram is opti­mized to unveil your fullest poten­tial of strength, health, vital­ity, inner calm and joy.

• Abhyanga Warm Oil Massage

A one hour jour­ney into com­plete relax­ation and reju­ve­na­tion — in this tra­di­tional, rhyth­mi­cal mas­sage from ancient India, warm herbal oils are poured onto and mas­saged into the body. It is extremely nour­ish­ing, nur­tur­ing and one of the most com­plete mas­sages you will ever expe­ri­ence. The aroma of the oils cou­pled with the effec­tive mas­sage tech­nique will indulge and grat­ify all your senses.     Reg­u­lar Abhyanga pro­motes youth­ful­ness, longevity, resis­tance to stress, enhanc­ing deep sleep, energy, good health, joint and mus­cle flex­i­bil­ity, remov­ing fatigue and reveal­ing a softer, younger look­ing skin.

• Swedana Steam Ther­apy
  

A hot, herbal­ized steam bath that dilates the chan­nels of cir­cu­la­tion in the body, allow­ing the amas (impu­ri­ties) to move out. Swedana (steam bath) is usu­ally given at the end of a mas­sage. You are left to rest for at least 15 min­utes after the mas­sage. The tent is filled with a con­tin­u­ous flow of hot, herbal­ized steam, which sur­rounds your body. The use of heat and steam to induce sweat­ing has long been rec­og­nized as a nat­ural and effec­tive way of detox­i­fi­ca­tion.  The spe­cial herbs help to stim­u­late oxy­gen flow through­out the body, while the steam acti­vates the nat­ural sweat­ing process, which is essen­tial for releas­ing accu­mu­lated tox­ins. Your skin will carry the gen­tle sweet aroma of the herbs through­out the fol­low­ing 24 hours or so.

• Shi­rod­hara 


The San­skrit word Shi­rod­hara blends the words shiro and dhara. Shiro means head and Dhara, the flow of warm oil; Shi­rod­hara is one of the most divine and relax­ing ther­a­pies that Ayurveda has to offer.     Lying on your back, a sooth­ing stream of warm, aro­matic oil is gen­tly poured back and forth across your fore­head, cre­at­ing a sen­sa­tion of such pro­found, enjoy­able and deep relax­ation that you’ll lose all track of time. Many com­pare the effects of Shi­rod­hara to tran­scen­dence; the meditator’s state of sheer bliss. This treat­ment is tra­di­tion­ally used to calm and restore the nerves, har­mo­nize vata con­sti­tu­tions  unbri­dle pent up emo­tions, and purify the mind. Shi­rod­hara is pro­foundly relax­ing and is known to have a calm­ing effect on peo­ple suf­fer­ing from insom­nia, mem­ory loss, hor­monal imbal­ance, headaches, men­tal ten­sion and cer­tain skin dis­eases. Best expe­ri­enced after a mas­sage, Shi­rod­hara is one of our most pop­u­lar Ayurveda treat­ments. In addi­tion to its health ben­e­fits, this great reju­ve­nat­ing ther­apy gives a healthy glow to your face and body.

• Udvar­tan

Finely ground Ayurvedic herbs and exotic san­dal­wood pow­der are mixed with pre­cious Ayurvedic oils and gen­tly mas­saged into the skin. This results in the stim­u­la­tion of the energy flow in the body, the detox­i­fi­ca­tion and nour­ish­ment of body tis­sues, the acti­va­tion of the skin’s nat­ural metab­o­lism and also the improve­ment of lymph flow. The Udvar­tana mas­sage cleanses and refines the skin struc­ture and gives the skin a soft, silky tex­ture and a lus­trous glow.

• Nasyam

Uncover a highly effec­tive ther­apy in reliev­ing con­ges­tion, aller­gies, sinusi­tis, headaches, migraine, rhini­tis and nasal infec­tions. Heal­ing herbal oil is del­i­cately dropped in each nos­tril, fol­lowed by a relax­ing mas­sage of the nose, chest, palms and feet.
