Ayurvedic nutritional counselling – book today!

Personalised counselling is an ideal way to deepen your knowledge of Ayurveda and to learn how to apply its principles to your individual needs and lifestyle. A 60-minute Initial Consultation is tailored to attend to your specific concerns, such as designing an Ayurvedic meal plan or cleanse that suits your unique constitution, addressing specific health concerns, or establishing long-term habits that promote balance and longevity.

Having both a certification in Ayurvedic Counselling and a Masters in Food Science, I am most interested in merging traditional healing practices with contemporary research to provide a modern, holistic approach to food, cooking and nutrition. Ayurveda emphasizes the harmony of an individual’s physical, mental and emotional beings for achieving optimal health. As the complementary system to yoga, it is a great way to support and further your work on the yoga mat or meditation cushion. Discover how yoga and Ayurveda can integrate into daily life, particularly when it comes to the kitchen and dinner table.

Take the opportunity to work with me and learn how Ayurveda can support your journey towards balance and wholeness. Contact me here to book your consult today!

Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse

Spring is a season of change, and thus the perfect time to inspire change in ourselves! Join me for an Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse at Yoga Public on Sunday, April 2nd (3-5 pm, $55+GST). Learn traditional diet and self-care techniques that help support lasting changes for your unique body-mind composition. As always, I will host a private blog for cleansers to access daily recipes, philosophy and support. Join me for this transformative practice and invest in your health!

MindFULLness Workshop 2: DIY Kitchen Staples!

Thank you to those that came to the first instalment of our “Putting the FULL in Mindfulness” Workshop series! I still can’t believe that we sold out; I’m so glad that everyone is excited about exploring how eating well can support living well!

If you didn’t get the chance to make it to the first one, don’t miss out on the second workshop, “DIY Kitchen Staples” on Saturday November 26th (3:30-5 pm, $35, at Yoga Public). Angie Pringle and I will continue to explore the empowerment of healthy eating and living. Taking an in-depth look at our pantry staples, we will investigate the benefits/drawbacks of store-bought food products and how easily you can make your own versions of these with simple and wholesome recipes. Attendance at a previous workshop is not necessary, though those of you that have come to the first workshop will hopefully find that the second one will deepen your understanding of Ayurveda and mindfulness through food. Hope to see you at one or all of the workshops!
