Bring Ayurveda into your life.. It IS the science of life quite literally!!

Ayurveda- the science of life..
Interested in bringing harmony to your body and mind? Ayurveda is an ancient and most comprehensive science which brings lifelong health and peace by daily practices and an understanding of who YOU are as an individual and what does indeed balance the fluctuations within us as such. We don’t all need the same thing whether it be food, herbs, yoga, particular breathing tecniques, aromas, etc..
As Ayurveda is quickly becoming a buzzword in the West, it’s time to understand how simple and sustainable it is as a practice, and not a fad! Join me for a consultation to get started on truly understanding your constitution and what the current imbalance in your body and life may be. Also, Ayurvedic Cooking for Everyday is coming up in August!!! Book appointments on the website:

Why does everyone need SHIRODHARA? (wth is it anyway??)

Why do we forget so often? Why do we feel like our brains and emotions are just short circuiting? We all know the answer to this because we live with our lives everyday. Driving and talking, driving and eating, driving and thinking.. thinking… thinking… TOO MUCH!! We work and we work, and have become disconnected to others but most importantly to ourselves. There is never a “quick fix” but we can take care to nourish our brains and slow down for a few moments. This leads to taking other steps in the direction of giving to ourselves by surrendering the control we believe we have in so many areas of our lives. Tune out, check IN, let go, and just be.
La La Land
You need this. I’m sure of it.

Melt away… warm customized oil poured onto the forehead (third eye/anja chakra…)This coats the head, and slowly you begin to let go,to drift, and to allow anything that came before that moment to melt far into nonexistence. Afterward the head,neck and shoulder area are massaged using marma points (accupressure).This is for you. To let go. To give yourself a present, of being in the present. Namaste.

Shirodhara (shih-roh-dah-ruh) Shiro means “head” and dhara means “the dripping of oil like a thread” and is an ancient technique and an Ahhmazing treatment for all stress related disorders and mental distractions. It brings clarity to the mind and addresses the central nervous system. Emotional upheaval,nervousness, stress, anxiety, burnout in the mind (feeling frazzled as we all do), allergic rhinitis, sinusitus, and the list goes on. Basically anything going on in the head region. So every single person in our whirlwind lives and constantly moving world needs this. Period.

Give to yourself (or others) $60 ($80 value)for one hour
or $180 for three treatments to use in three months (best recommendation for sure)

Come and visit the new digs! :)

Skin in the Vata Season

Do you know that your skin is the largest digestive organ of the body? That is pretty important to know, since all that we put on our skin topically then enters the body through our skin and effects us on a deeper level. In short, beauty is more than skin deep. 

As we are in the Vata cycle of the season, which tends to be drier if not colder here in Southern California here are a few tips for keeping the moisture and above all, luster to the outward skin from the inside and a few easy tips for the outward treatment and care as well:

• Favor warm herbal teas such as cinnamon, cardamom, tulsi, rose, and gotu kola to stimulate digestion and calm the mind in order to maintain overall health of the whole body.
• Using ghee, sesame oil and olive oil in cooking
• Ginger, sage, thyme, and marjoram are wonderful warming as well as cozy spices to use in your winter cooking and support warming your body during this dry and cold time of year,
• Self massage with warm oil (sesame/sunflower or jojoba) in morning or evening slightly warmed to body temperature. This can be done simply by placing a small bottle in a pan of hot water. 
• Use organic food grade facial products as your skin will “eat it up”. A hydrating cleanser, toning mist, facial oil and a daily moisturizer are the basics. 
• Most importantly, your sleep time is essential! Taking time to ground and calm the mind in the evening then getting to bed by 10 (or earlier if you so choose) is a kind as well as connected practice not just this season, but every season.
