Get Ready to Uncover the Root Cause of your Health Issues and Heal from Deep within using the Superpower of Ayurveda
Ayurveda simply means the science or wisdom of life and healthy living. It is a 5000 year old system of medicine that has stood the test of time
Ayurvedic Medicine or Ayurveda (Ayu= life, Veda= science or knowledge), literally means the science or knowledge of life and healthy living
It is the oldest known medical system in the world that focuses on disease prevention as well as optimizing health in a healthy individual by correcting body imbalances you may be suffering from
In Ayurveda we believe in finding the root cause of your health issues whether physical, mental, emotional and resolving the root cause for lasting benefits rather than coating the symptoms with band aid of pills
Ayurveda believes that each individual is unique being caused by the unique proportions of the Doshas or bioenergies Vata (Wind energy) Pitta (Sun energy) and Kapha (Moon energy)
The dominance of these doshas determine your unique constitution or your Prakriti (true nature). Any deviation from this be understood as imbalance or Vikriti which then leads to disease in the body, mind or emotions
Take Your Free Dosha Quiz
Ayurveda has categorized people into different Dosha Prakriti Types on the basis of the 3 bio-energies- Vata, Pitta and Kapha dosha
Understanding your Dosha dominance can help you decide the exact nutrition, lifestyle that is individualized to your unique lifestyle to stay in balance and prevent health conditions like allergies etc. Click the button below to find out all about your Doshas.

I first met Manjiri at my 200 hr yoga teacher training with Mothership School of Yoga in London. She was warm and welcoming, and I instantly felt connected to Manjiri and what she was teaching us about Ayurveda. I made my first appointment a few months later to get support for balancing my hormones.
My mood felt all over the place, and was feeling anxious as well. Through herbal supplements, probiotics, and nutrition, Manjiri has assisted me in feeling more myself and balanced.
I would recommend anyone to see Manjiri; her wealth of knowledge and holistic approach can support so many ailments and complaints.
