What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine that originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. The word “Ayurveda” comes from the Sanskrit words “Ayur” meaning life and “Veda” meaning knowledge or science.
So, Ayurveda = "The science of life."
Core Concepts of Ayurveda
Balance is key
Ayurveda emphasises maintaining balance in the body, mind, and spirit for overall health.
Individualized treatment
Each person is considered unique, and treatment is tailored based on individual constitution and current state of health.
The Three Doshas (Biological Energies)
Ayurveda is based on the idea that health depends on the balance of three fundamental energies or doshas:
Dosha | Elements | Characteristics
Vata | Air + Ether | Movement, creativity, cold, dry, light
Pitta | Fire + Water | Metabolism, digestion, heat, intensity
Kapha | Earth + Water | Structure, stability, heaviness, calmness
Each person has a unique combination of these doshas, called their “prakriti”.

Your appointment starts with a relaxing Copper bath foot soak where we discuss your unique needs to determine the right oil for your skin type. Your massage focuses on the entire body (head to toe) using long, soothing strokes and massage techniques. You will be quite oily and we recommend using our shower after your treatment, or showering/bathing as soon as you get home.
