Ayurveda is a holistic healing system developed in India over 5,000 years ago. It focuses on creating balance in the body, mind, and spirit using natural practices like food, herbs, daily routines, and seasonal alignment.

Generally, yes. Ayurveda uses gentle, natural approaches. However, it’s best to consult with a qualified practitioner if you have a medical condition, take medications, or are pregnant.

Not necessarily. Ayurveda emphasizes mindful eating based on your unique constitution (dosha). While plant-based foods are encouraged, some people may benefit from small amounts of dairy or meat, depending on their dosha and lifestyle.

Doshas are your Ayurvedic body-mind types: Vata (air), Pitta (fire), and Kapha (earth). Each person has a unique blend. You can take a dosha quiz or book a consultation to discover your dominant type and how to support it.

Yes! I offer online Ayurvedic consultations where we explore your dosha, current imbalances, and create a personalized plan for diet, lifestyle, herbs and self-care. You can book directly through the booking page.

Ayurveda is a powerful, long-term approach that works with the rhythms of your body. Some people feel major shifts within a few days, while deeper healing can take weeks or months. Consistency and patience are key — it's about creating lasting balance, not quick fixes.

Instead of suppressing symptoms, Ayurveda focuses on rebalancing your whole system—digestion, hormones, stress, and metabolism. This root-cause approach helps restore regular cycles, reduce pain, improve skin and hair health, and support fertility naturally.

Yes. Virtual consultations are available for clients who can’t visit the Santa Monica clinic. Many women find online care just as effective, since much of Ayurveda is guided through diet, lifestyle, and herbal recommendations.

We kindly ask for 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Late cancellations or missed appointments may be subject to a fee. This ensures we can honor time and energy for all clients.

Yes. While we specialize in women’s hormonal and metabolic health, Ayurveda also supports digestive issues, anxiety, sleep, postpartum recovery, and more.

Many of my clients come to me feeling exactly this way—frustrated, dismissed by conventional medicine, and tired of quick fixes that don’t last. Ayurveda is different because it doesn’t just treat symptoms; it looks at the whole picture of your digestion, hormones, lifestyle, and emotional health. Together, we uncover the unique root causes behind your struggles and create a plan tailored just for you. Even if you’ve tried “everything,” there’s a path forward—and it’s often simpler, gentler, and more sustainable than you might expect.
