Ayurveda Health Consultation
Your 1-1 consultation takes place online via video call at the time and date you select on booking. Prior to the appointment, Sarah will send you a short form to complete, to outline your general health goals and any areas of focus for healing that you would like to address on your journey towards optimum health, balance and wellness. This is also where you confirm the method of contact for your online consultation.
The consultation is 60 - 90 minutes. During this time, Sarah will ask you a range of questions about your health, diet, digestion, lifestyle, sleep, energy and stress levels. Your personalised detox & rejuvenation programme is then created for you to enjoy in the comfort of your home. The package is emailed to you within 24 hours and includes:
Ayurvedic Detox & Rejuvenation Programme Booklet (PDF)
This begins with a little general information about Ayurveda and explains in simple terms how to implement basic Ayurvedic principles into your life for healing, healthy living and longevity.
The programme can be taken over 9, 15 or 21 days, all incorporating three distinct phases:
-
Preparation
-
Cleanse
-
Rejuvenation
Together, these equally important segments combine to create a full body-mind cleanse and reset. You will experience the most benefit when committing to a 21-day cleanse. However, for some people, it may be more appropriate to start with a shorter cleanse, and progressing onto a 21-day cleanse at a later date. Sarah can provide personal recommendations during your consultation but all three phases and different programme options are outlined in full within your package.
It is important to note that this is not another fad diet, it is an effective way to re-set your system in a healthy way, by removing foods that are heavy, processed or hard to digest. This allows your vital organs to rest, your digestive system to strengthen and your body to release deeply held toxins in the body and mind. Once this has been achieved, your body will become more effective in removing daily toxins, and foods that provide essential vitamins and minerals for longevity and rejuvenation are more readily accepted and incorporated within the system. Your body and mind become so much more efficient - think of it as giving yourself a full (oil and filter) service!!
The programme also includes the following tips to integrate during the cleanse and reset:
-
Daily routine
-
Eating habits
-
Self-care tips to incorporate within each phase which may include ayurvedic self-massage and oil application, marma-point massage, cleansing and energising yoga positions, breathwork and meditation techniques for healing and relaxation
Ayurvedic Recipe Booklet (PDF)
You will receive a number of recipes selected for your body type and health goals that are categorised under each phase of the programme. These include breakfast, lunch and dinner options, drinks and herbal remedies.
The preparation phase allows you to slowly release the foods from your diet which may be aggravating, heavy or overloading the system, creating a build-up of toxins that can lead to imbalance or dis-ease in the body or mind.
Focus is then on cleansing recipes that are simple and easy to digest. During this time, you will also incorporate herbal remedies that strengthen the digestive system and different options in consuming ghee to enhance the cleansing process.
During the final phase, rather than jumping back to old ways, you are encouraged to slowly add foods back into the diet, especially those that are rejuvenating and those that strengthen the immune system, whilst also being mindful of personalised dietary recommendations provided that you may wish to incorporate for some time after the programme.
Personalised Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations
This includes foods to avoid or limit that may be contributing to your current imbalanced state. These foods may not be the root cause of your disorder but they hold the same qualities, and therefore could be further aggravating your condition and symptoms.
You will also be provided with an Ayurvedic perspective on any disorders, including potential root causes and natural ways to prevent or heal.
Having this awareness provides a tool kit that you can take forward after the programme. Learning which foods to limit and how to consume them with 'balancing' foods of the opposite quality to help maintain a healthy balance.
In addition, yoga positions or sequences that are beneficial for your health goals are provided in PDF format, with images and a description. This may include breathing exercises and/or meditation techniques with an audio recording. These are suitable for all levels of experience and ability but if you are new to yoga or would prefer a personal session to ensure you are completing the positions and sequences correctly, you can add an online private yoga class to your package (£45).
