Ayurveda is a 3,000-y+ old system of holistic medicine originating from India. It's extremely effective for bringing people to the most healthy state they can be in. It understands the human as a holistic whole, and teaches us how to understand our own bodies and gain deeper self-awareness around what is healthy for us.
Ayurveda has been successfully used for thousands of years in India, and scientific evidence is now showing that it is broadly effective.

We provide foundational support for your physical body. Your physical body and what you provide it is the fundamental support for everything else that you do. We help you create that stable foundation. Other things like psychological support are also highly useful but that's not our main role - we do refer out to practitioners in our network when it's the right thing to do.

The time it takes to see results or resolve a condition is extremely variable on the individual and their state of health at the start of the program. You'll typically start to see results in the first week of working with us. Resolution of a condition can be unexpectedly rapid, or can take an extended period of diligent care and effort. It all depends! For more a more specific opinion for your particular case, feel free to book a discovery call so we can chat through your situation.

Our programs are carefully designed to introduce only a few, manageable changes each session. Our goal is to easefully integrate Ayurveda into your life, in a way that allows you to see the benefits immediately. Expect to spend a 1-3 hours a week outside of your 1:1 calls integrating in material.

Ayurveda is a general system of wellbeing - it both treats particular conditions and creates overall health. It is a great fit for a variety of persistent issues that don’t seem to have easily identifiable root causes. In particular, Ayurveda excels at treating:
- Chronic digestive issues, including dietary intolerances (dairy, gluten, etc.), as well as issues with variability in appetite, energy levels, metabolism, indigestion, cognitive performance
- Skin conditions
- Sleep health - chronically waking up during the night, not feeling well rested in the morning, etc.
- Women’s health issues, such as irregular cycles or PMS symptoms
Optimization for fertility
- Persistent energy crashes at particular times of the day or after meals

Over the last few decades, there’s been a variety of scientific research validating Ayurveda’s ability to maintain health and treat disease. For some of the more notable results:
Ayurveda has been found to outperform conventional medicine for a number of conditions. For two examples:
1. Ayurvedic treatment for osteoarthritis outperforms the conventional standard of care
2. Ayurvedic nutritional therapy outperforms conventional nutritional therapy for IBS
Ayurvedic formulations (known as medications in India) have been found to cause a variety of physiological improvements. For a few examples:
1. Ashwagandha (a frequently used Ayurvedic adaptogen) increases physical performance, reduces anxiety and stress levels, improves sleep, and increases VO2max
2. Brahmi (an Ayurvedic adaptogen) improves cognition and alleviates memory loss
‍This is just a small slice of the overall scientific research that has been conducted on Ayurveda.

No. Ayurveda has a saying - any food can be medicine or poison, depending on who is consuming it and in what context. There may be foods that are currently a poor fit for you, and we will work with you to understand how to eliminate or reduce them from your diet, for the time being. However, the long term goal is for you to have as broad a dietary range as possible. Ayurveda does not specifically advocate for vegetarianism, although it is highly adaptable to a vegetarian diet, as it originated from the Indian subcontinent where there is a sizable vegetarian population.
