On Your Path of health and HEALING

Holistic Support

During the many years that followed, diagnosed with IBS, I tried many diets and naturopathic remedies to try and alleviate my ongoing digestive issues. So many foods upset my stomach and my diet became more and more restricted. Then I learned about the Āyurvedic method of using food as medicine and gentle cleansing to help rebuild digestive fire or agni.

We now know that good health, in the body and mind, begins in the gut. Studying classical Āyurveda gave me the tools to understand my digestive strength and constitution so that I could determine what foods were most nourishing for my individual makeup. Now I’m able to enjoy a variety of whole foods that are in balance with the seasons, while experiencing improved digestion, more balanced energy, and a clearer mind.

Over three decades ago, while living in a cabin in the redwood forest, I picked up Giardia, a nasty stomach bug. After a few rounds of prescriptions, western medicine said I was in the clear, but I knew something still wasn’t right. 

Healing my own body with Āyurvedic wisdom inspired me to take formal training and become an Āyurveda doctor so that I can help others.

I’ve learned that Āyurveda is a brilliant system that isn’t just about the absence of disease—it’s about knowing the truth of you and having the right tools for self-healing so that you can feel your best. Doesn’t that sound appealing? If so, I’d love to work with you.

So, What is

Āyurveda originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is considered the oldest continuously practiced health-care system in the world.

Āyurveda?

Āyur

Means "Life"

Veda

Means "science" or "knowledge"

and

So, it can be understood as a science of life.

Āyurveda uses food as medicine, self-care, lifestyle routines, bodywork therapies, gentle seasonal cleansing, and herbs to nourish the tissues, remove stagnation, and increase health.

Āyurveda views each individual as a unique combination of the five elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. As we understand the qualities most present in our bodies and minds we are able to make optimal choices to help us be vibrant and healthy.

Some of the practices of Āyurveda are not customary in our culture, like self-massage with sesame oil or eating ghee (clarified butter). While these practices might be encouraged, Āyurveda is not about adapting a new culture or a new set of beliefs, it’s about learning to eat and live in a way that is best for you, where you live, at this time in your life. It’s a gift from one culture that can be practiced from within your own.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer I knew I wanted a holistic approach that would complement my medical treatment. Andrea offered many simple, concrete ways to help me feel better as I recovered from surgery, went through radiation, and eventually went on challenging hormone blocking medication. From encouraging me to be kind to myself to suggesting things I could eat and drink to ease brain fog and fatigue during radiation – she was there for me every step of the way. My brain fog and fatigue have eased and I felt more in control of my cancer journey through working with her. I couldn’t have gotten through treatment without her wisdom and guidance.

Andrea is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and ethical. During a dark time, I looked forward to our meetings and the light she brought to my cancer journey. She is a true treasure in the world of wellness. I would highly recommend Andrea’s services to anyone who’s struggling with their health or who just needs a little extra help.
