Ayurvedic Health Coaching
Ayurveda’s timeless wisdom offers us a simple guide towards living a more balanced, healthful and joyous life.
Why Ayurveda?
A thousands-of-year old medical system with its origin in India, Ayurveda (I-yur-ved-a) is translated from Sanskrit as Ayu’ - life and ‘veda’ - knowledge, ‘the knowledge of life’. This ancient science works individualistically and holistically to treat each person as they are.
Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of prevention and encourages daily maintenance of our own health through close attention to balance. Ayurveda views the way we think, the food we eat, the books we read, our lifestyle and the herbs we ingest as preventative and lasting medicine.
We are all different, so our diet, exercise, and lifestyle routines should be individualized for each of our changing needs.
I use Ayurvedic inquiry to assess each individual. First and foremost, I look to uncover the root cause of the present state of imbalance appearing.
I share the wisdom and insight Ayurveda has to offer each of us with the intention to empower individuals to find their own balance of body, mind and consciousness.
We treat internal imbalances by making changes to:
Lifestyle
Learn which exercise is best for your body.
Learn how to get better and more sound sleep.
Begin to integrate meditation and breath practice (Pranayama) into your daily routine.
Bring greater care and awareness to each moment of your day.
Diet
Learn what foods you should avoid and what to favor based on your constitution.
Learn new recipes and new ways to support your immune and digestive system to its full capacity.
Learn how to eat with the changing seasons.
Learn how to eat in relation to the times of day.
Learn why it is important to build your digestive fire (agni).
“Just a few simple changes to my routine and diet has helped immensely. I gained insight about my habits which work against me and for me on a day-to-day level. I would definitely recommend Dana to anyone who’s looking for Ayurvedic Health Coaching. ”
