FAQs

Ayurveda is a holistic system of healing that’s been around for over 5,000 years. What I love about it—as both a consultant and a scientist—is how deeply it understands the body as an interconnected whole. While modern medicine often focuses on treating symptoms, Ayurveda looks at the root cause and works with your body's natural intelligence to restore balance. It’s not an “either-or” choice—it’s a “both-and” opportunity for truly personalized care.

That’s a great question, and honestly, it’s the foundation of how I practice. With over 16 years in science and research, I value evidence, precision, and a deep understanding of the human body. Ayurveda brings a rich, intuitive layer to that. I integrate both worlds to create treatment plans that are thoughtful, safe, and grounded—not just in tradition, but in critical thinking and practical application.

Many of the clients I see come with concerns that are complex, lingering, or simply haven’t been fully addressed elsewhere. These often include digestive issues like bloating or reflux, hormonal imbalances such as PCOS or irregular cycles, skin conditions, low energy or chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and stress-related imbalances.

Through our work together—guided by both the depth of Ayurveda and a clear scientific understanding of the body—we begin to make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. From there, we develop a personalised approach that’s gentle, considered, and truly aligned with your unique needs and rhythms.

It’s a calm, in-depth conversation where we explore your health from every angle—physical, emotional, and mental. I’ll ask about your digestion, energy, sleep, and lifestyle and many more aspects of your life to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Depending on your care package, I will also use traditional Ayurvedic tools like the 8-fold and 10-fold assessments, which help me see your unique constitution and patterns of imbalance. These include pulse and tongue analysis, as well as evaluations of your body type, strength, vitality, and more.

Blending these insights with my scientific background, I create a personalised plan that’s both holistic and practical—so you feel supported, understood, and gently guided toward balance.

Yes, absolutely. Ayurveda and Western medicine can work side by side—and many of my clients continue their medications while we focus on restoring balance through diet, herbs, and lifestyle.

If part of your health goal is to eventually reduce or come off certain medications, that’s something we can gently explore—but only when it feels right for both of us. I’ll always approach this with care, clarity, and collaboration. Nothing is rushed or assumed. Any decision to adjust medications is made through open discussion, mutual consent, and a fact-based understanding of what’s safe and appropriate for your body.

With my scientific background, I’m deeply mindful of how herbs and medicines interact, and my role is to support you in making choices that are both empowering and responsible.

That really depends on you—your current health, how long the imbalance has been present, and how consistently we can work together. Some people feel small shifts quite quickly, while deeper or longer-standing issues may take more time.

Ayurveda works by addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms, so it’s a process of steady, meaningful change. Together, we create a plan that feels sustainable—not overwhelming—so progress feels like something you’re living, not chasing.

I always say: healing isn’t linear. But with the right support, you’ll likely start to feel more clarity, energy, and alignment along the way—even before the bigger changes unfold.

Not at all. In fact, many people come to Ayurveda or me not because something is “wrong,” but because they want to feel more balanced, more energised, or more connected to their health.

Ayurveda isn’t just a system of healing—it’s a way of understanding your body and mind so you can stay well, not just get well. Whether you're dealing with ongoing symptoms or simply want to support your digestion, sleep, skin, or mood in a more natural way, there's always something we can fine-tune.

So no, you don’t have to be unwell to benefit from Ayurveda. Sometimes, it’s just about creating more ease, flow, and alignment in how you live each day.

Yes—and beautifully so. Ayurveda sees mental and emotional health as inseparable from physical health. Through personalized routines, grounding foods, lifestyle guidance, and gentle herbal support, we can bring calm and clarity back into your life. And with my scientific and ayurvedic background, I’m always mindful of how we approach mental well-being with care and evidence-informed sensitivity.

Yes, absolutely—when done properly and with the right guidance, Ayurveda is very safe. Everything I recommend is personalised to you—your body, your current health, any medications you're on, and where you’re at in your healing journey.

I take a thoughtful, measured approach, always blending traditional wisdom with scientific understanding. So if I suggest herbs or dietary changes, it’s because they’ve been carefully chosen to support your system—not overwhelm it. I'm also really mindful of how herbs might interact with medications, and we’ll always talk things through together.

Safety, for me, means clarity, consent, and going at a pace that feels right for you. Ayurveda is gentle by nature—and we’ll keep it that way.
