Ayurvedic Consultations

(meeting and evaluation)
An Ayurvedic consultation aims to determine your unique constitution and assess your imbalances in order to offer you lifestyle and dietary advice to achieve an optimal state of physical and mental health. You will also receive lifestyle advice, tailored to your specific needs, that will allow you to achieve the impact you want on your body and mind.
