Ayurvedic Treatments


Based on Ayurvedic tradition, the following Ayurvedic treatments are offered after receiving a full or brief Ayurvedic consultation or a Vikriti pulse assessment to determine your current Doshic state or influences ($15 – add 15 minutes to the service length.) The information gathered during the consultation or pulse assessment will then determine the herbs, oils and methods that will be used to best serve you in your treatment. After receiving an initial consultation or assessment, the Ayurvedic treatments can be scheduled without further evaluation. You may consider adding a brief consultation or pulse assessment before a treatment, occasionally, to monitor your Doshic balance.
