A HOLISTIC APPROACH
What happens in an ayurvedic health consultation?
Ayurvedic health consultations begin by looking at your overall health, including your body, mind, and spirit. Before the consultation, you'll fill out a wellness questionnaire to help you and your practitioner discuss your health journey—from where you've been, where you are now, to where you can go. Your practitioner will help you understand your unique body and ways to find your true health. You'll get suggestions on what and how to eat, your daily routine, Ayurvedic herbs, treatments, aromatherapy, meditation, mantras, energetic healing, Yoga exercises, and more. This holistic approach aims to bring balance to every part of your life. The goal is to guide you to discover the benefits of Ayurveda so you can be your own healer and enhance your health, no matter what challenges you may face. The first consultations last 75 minutes to ensure a thorough assessment. Follow-up sessions may vary in length based on your needs. I can connect with you through Skype, telephone, or FaceTime, making it convenient no matter where you are.
Ayurveda teaches us to cherish our innate-nature “to love and honor who we are”, not as what people think or tell us, “who we should be." |

REMOVING THE ROOT CAUSE
WHAT KIND OF HEALTH concerns can ayurveda address?
Ayurveda is a holistic science that looks at the root of illness and disease. Because of this unique approach,
we can address a wide range of issues in the body and mind. Here are a few of the common reasons people seek an Ayurvedic
consultation (note this list is not comprehensive):
- Digestive issues (for example, IBS, Crohn’s, diverticulitis, constipation, diarrhea)
- Hormone imbalance (PMS, symptoms of menopause)
- Weight loss
- Improving diet
- Infertility, pregnancy and postpartum support
- Mental illness
- Emotional issues
- Autoimmune disorders and inflammatory conditions
- Addiction recovery
- Eating disorders (for example, restricting eating, overeating, addiction to sugar, emotional eating).
- Stress reduction
- Chronic fatigue
- Improving skin issues (eczema, acne, dry skin, psoriasis)
- Allergies to food or environment
What makes for a successful ayurveda client?
Several key elements are consistently observed in clients who achieve the most success in our clinical Ayurvedic work:
- Demonstrating curiosity and openness to adapting food, lifestyle, and wellness practices.
- Holding a belief in the possibility of healing and improvement in their condition.
- Allocating resources, including time and energy, to prioritize their wellness.
- Remaining committed to attending their regularly scheduled appointments.

The right health consultation for you
I offer several options for health consultations to meet your needs, along with video conferencing or
telephone to reach anyone, anywhere!
Here's a simple guide to help you choose the right length for your consultation:
75-minute initial consultation:
If you've never had a health consultation with Sacred Self before, start here. In this session, we'll explore your health history in detail and discover ways for you to feel better today.
60-minute follow-up consultation:
This is for those who have already had an initial consultation with Sacred Self and are returning for a check-in. We recommend 1 to 2 check-in consultations per year. Choose this if you're addressing new concerns or delving deeper into healing long-standing health issues. Opt for this if it's been more than a year since your last consultation.
30-minute follow-up consultation:
Designed for existing clients who need a quick check-in. We recommend 1 to 2 check-in consultations per year. If you have follow-up questions from a previous consultation, this is a cost-effective way to track progress, gain clarity, or discuss how to better integrate changes you've made.
3-hour complete health package:
This is the most comprehensive and cost-effective option. If you're a new client, it starts with a 75-minute initial consultation and up to three follow-up sessions. Existing clients can divide three hours of consultations based on individual needs. Keep in mind that the package must be used within one year of purchase.
Please note: If more than a year has passed since your last consultation, book a 60-minute follow-up appointment to ensure we have enough time to look at the holistic picture of your life.
Cancellation policy: If you have to cancel, email me at least 72 hours before your appointment to reschedule. Read about our refund policy here.

Scheduling your session
- Initial consultations are typically booked 4-8 weeks out.
- At this time, only virtual consultations are available.
- Completed intake form must be completed and returned 2-3 weeks prior to your initial consultation appointment. This gives me a sufficient amount of time to review your answers, ask any follow-up questions and formulate the best recommendations possible for your individual situation.
- The duration of clinical Ayurveda varies depending on the complexities of your particular needs. The average duration of clinical work is 6-12 months.
