What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is the ancient medicine of India. Dating back more than 5000 years and steeped in cultural tradition, this age-old system of medicine and daily practice of moment-to-moment choices can help you navigate life for optimal health and happiness. When you know your Ayurvedic dosha (body type) you can choose the food, lifestyle, spiritual practices, career and activities that best suit you and your quest for natural balance.
Work With Karuna
When you work with Karuna one-on-one, you’ll access her deep knowledge of the traditional healing methods of Ayurveda. In personal consultations, you’ll discover your Ayurvedic dosha (body type) and learn which foods best suit you. With Karuna’s guidance, you’ll develop a dietary approach that incorporates all varieties of nutrient-dense, plant-based foods. Karuna’s 90-day program features on-going coaching that can help you combat certain diet-related health issues such as heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood sugar and obesity, and overcome digestive disorders such as constipation, gas and hyperactivity. You’ll learn the Ayurvedic lifestyle to help you feel centered and productive, and how to cook appetizing meals to suit your dosha.
