Based in Indian & Tibetan forms of Ayurvedic Medicine, Ayurvedic Pulse Readings reveal your Prakruti (i.e. your dosha, innate constitution or birth pulse). This information helps establish a core awareness of who you are and what you've come into this life to accomplish.
Pulse readings reveal what tendencies have always been with you and how different consistent patterns have been affecting your life - emotionally, physically and spiritually.
In understanding those patterns, you get to express your truest nature while maintaining balance & ease in your life. In other words, the often roller coaster ride of health & illness, energy & fatigue, peace & stress is transformed into an inspired & empowered way of living.

Ayurvedic Massages incorporate treatments that best support your dosha and findings from your Ayurvedic Pulse Readings.
Pulse readings are not a requirement to receive Ayurvedic massage, they simply enhance the benefits.
Treatments lovingly release areas of contraction or stagnation so that physical and emotional energies can flow freely. Abhyanga, belly massage, lymph drainage, polarity balancing, Ayurvedic Aromatherapy & hot towel treatments are used to help balance, relax & support stress relief and digestive health.
