Tell us about yourself

Nurtured in the resplendent beauty of southern Utah, I developed a deep bond with nature from an early age. Exploring native plants, rambling through desert canyons and rivers, and marveling at stars above – these experiences bestowed upon me a life-long appreciation for our planet's wonders. This connection to nature was foundational; it is where I would leap from to travel the world and eventually find Ayurveda, the science of life.

The word Ayurveda is from the ancient Indian language Sanskrit and literally means "knowledge of life." A holistic medical system that has flourished in traditional cultures for thousands of years, Ayurveda strives to alleviate the symptoms of the disease by eradicating its underlying causes while providing the tools and guidance needed to maintain a well-balanced, healthy life.

Ayurvedic practitioners often undergo years of training to master this multifaceted discipline. It is an incredibly sophisticated system of observation that characterizes individuals according to their distinctive anatomic and metabolic profiles. According to Ayurvedic beliefs, each person's nature consists of a distinct pattern of physical, mental, and emotional tendencies and traits.

This nature, or innate constitution, determines the course of the illnesses they will suffer and the remedies that will restore their health. Inherent in Ayurvedic principles is the concept that we can take charge of our own life and healing. When we become ill, the illness is not likely to completely resolve unless we change the behaviors that caused it. Understanding each person's genetic makeup and getting to the bottom of these causative factors are essential goals of the Ayurvedic medical system.

Ayurveda medical science is more than just a modern solution to traditional health issues - it is a tried and true approach to healing the body, mind, and soul. At its core, Ayurveda helps us recognize our uniqueness and understand how our inner self interacts with the world around us. Through dietary plans, lifestyle changes, mindful practices, and the use of ancient herbal remedies, Ayurveda leads us to an unshakable sense of well-being rooted in balance.
