Initially, a health questionnaire is sent out to collect information about your current state of health and wellbeing. All information received is strictly private and confidential.

 

Once the health questionnaire is filled in and returned, 2 consultations follow. A meeting will be set up for the first one, either in person or via zoom to gather more information to find out your constitutional type and find out how any dysfunctions and imbalances manifest.

 

The information is used to make a holistic assessment of your state of health from an Ayurvedic viewpoint. It takes 1 or 2 weeks after to research and develop a treatment protocol specifically tailored to your needs. 

​

The 2nd consultation is a presentation of the suggested treatment plan and once you are happy with the plan,  is to be implemented over a 6 week period. During this time there are 3 follow up calls to check in and see how you are doing. It is an opportunity to see how things are working and if any adjustments to the protocol need to be made.

 

​See below for more information and a breakdown of the Ayurveda Consultation process.

​

1st Consultation (60-75 mins)

• The 1st Consultation is for assessing your constitution (Prakruti) and to see which dosha(s) is throwing any particular systems out of balance.

• An Agni assessment reveals how your digestion is functioning and highlights any imbalances.

• Information about your lifestyle is gathered to better understand what levels of stress may be present and contributing to disharmony.

• In Ayurveda tongue diagnosis is an important diagnostic tool that gives a reading on your current state of health. This can reveal the state of gut health, stress on the body and mind and if there is toxicity being accumulated.

​

2nd Consultation (60-75 mins)

After all the information has been collated, time is taken to research a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. (This can take 1 -2 weeks).

​

• An appointment is made to discuss the treatment plan and from your feedback is customised to suit your timings and your needs.

​

• Once you are happy with the suggested protocol, you can implement to suit when you are ready.

 

• It is suggested that the treatment plan be implemented and given time to take effect over a 6 week period. This gives ample time to see what is working, what suits and if any tweaks or adjustments need to be made. This is because each person is individual in their responses. During this process you will supported along the way with 3 follow up calls at 2 week intervals, so if you have any questions that arise, they can be addressed during the scheduled call.

What does a treatment plan look like? 

 

The treatment plan is there to address and focus on your main concern. It is important to understand that an Ayurvedic natural healing approach is not a quick fix, but can put you on the path to self-healing with greater awareness and knowledge. Before embarking on a treatment plan, there needs to be a few things in place that help to make it accessible and doable.

​

• You are willing and have motivation to make changes 

• That it can fit in with your present circumstances and time frame

• Small steps and small changes are encouraged, as over time this is what will reap greater rewards.

​

Nutritional therapy is at the heart of Ayurveda and during this process, you will gain an understanding of how and why your digestive system is responding to certain dietary choices and patterns. You will also learn how your constitutional tendencies will help to point to options that better serve your body to function more optimally.

 

Typically, an Ayurvedic approach can start with either

• Langhana (detoxification) to help the body cleanse and detoxify first, so that digestion can function in a way that nutritional input is maximised.

​

• Or with Brimhana - using therapeutic approaches that strengthen and nourish, support growth, help to repair and rejuvenate.

​

Attending to Agni (the digestive fire)

Choosing which approach to start with comes from the understanding of how Agni (the digestive fire) functions in the body. Agni in Ayurveda is vital to digestion as it is the amount of digestive fire that heats up, burns, digest and processes the food materials coming in. If Agni is impaired, it may mean that there is not enough fire to process the food, or there is too much fire that the food passes through too quickly to utilise the nutritional value from what is consumed. 

 

Attending to Ama (Toxins)

​

• Endogenous toxins are toxins that come from the inside of the body through not digesting food properly, or metabolising hormones.

​

• Exogenous toxins come from the air we breathe, the water we drink, toxins in our food (synthesised chemicals, preservatives).​

​

The accumulation of toxins in the body can take 2 forms, water soluble and fat soluble. Water soluble toxins are easier to excrete if we are drinking enough water, sweating and urinating. The fat soluble toxins are more stubborn to remove because they become lodged in the fat cells.

 

This is why what we eat, how we move plays an important part in how we can help shift these toxins.​

​

A journey to optimum health 

Ayurveda is a natural life-style approach, a journey of self-discovery during which you may have some "aha" moments of realisation as to cause and effect. You may also be surprised at how simple some of the remedies and approaches are and how easy they are to incorporate in your life. You will be supported and encouraged throughout.

 

Supporting information will be provided to give you background knowledge of the hows and the whys. This knowledge and understanding can better help to ease you into making changes and to take on new healthy habits.
