Hello and welcome to Sunshine Wellness!!
Consultations
During your lifestyle consultation I give you an individually designed program compatible with your specific body type. Recommendations include an Ayurvedic diet, comfortable exercises, and a daily routine that supports good health. This approach creates and maintains balance in your mind, body, and emotions.
My consultations are based on Ayurvedic principles that can help prevent health problems before they arise. While modern medical practices focus mainly on symptoms, Ayurveda addresses the root cause of illness with an emphasis on prevention of disease.
During your consultation, we’ll assess the underlying state of balance or imbalance of the three Doshas, and then suggest ways to restore balance.
What You Will Receive
Nutrition & Lifestyle Consultations include:
An assessment of physical and emotional health issues
Dietary and herbal product recommendations
Lifestyle changes for improved health
Rejuvenation and detoxification programs
A follow up visit or call after four weeks.
I’ll teach you which foods to eat, and the right time of day or season to eat them. There could be certain foods you’re eating now that are actually causing a chronic health problem. Or perhaps your food is not getting the proper spicing for your body’s needs. Even a small change can make a big difference in how you look and feel.
My goal is to help you become more self-sufficient in caring for your own health. With proper guidance and education, you can get in tune with your own body and your own needs.
I offer consultations either in person or by telephone.
My Approach
What is Ayurveda?
To understand the body one must first understand the Five Great Elements – ether, air, water, fire, and earth. Ayurveda explains that all matter in the universe is made up of these five elemental, cosmic energies or building blocks. These elements are representative of states of matter. This concept of the five elements lies at the very heart of Ayurvedic science.
Ether (space) is the energy field that is simultaneously the source of all matter (pure consciousness) and the space in
Air is representative of the subtle movement of ether. which it exists. Simplified, it is the space between all things.
The movement of ether particles makes friction which creates heat. As particles of heat-energy combine, intense light is formed and from this light the fire element is born.
From the heat of the fire, certain ethereal elements are dissolved and liquefied, bringing about water. As these molecules solidify, the earth element is formed.
In the body the five elements appear as the individual constitution or personal make-up. A person’s constitution is determined at the moment of conception depending on the predominant combination of elements – ether, air, fire, water, and earth. While the structural aspect of the human body is made up of these five elements, the functional aspect of the body is governed by three biological humors, or a distinct combination of elements called vata, pitta, and kapha. Each of us is a unique combination of these three doshas.
