Coming Soon
Ayurveda Consultations
An Ayurveda initial consultation is a 90 to 120-minute process of discovery. The Ayurveda Counselor will ask questions to assess your constitutional nature and the status of any doshic imbalances. A personalized Wellness Plan is included.
Each consultation includes the following:
Ayurvedic Constitutional Assessment
Ayurvedic Assessment of Health Conditions
Ayurveda Wellness Plan Report
Constitutional Assessment
Know Your Prakriti
The initial intake session will include an assessment of your Ayurvedic constitution, known as Prakriti. Prakriti is the unique proportionate strength of each dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) that gives rise to your unique person. It is said that the Prakriti never changes. Knowledge of your Prakriti allows you to better care for yourself, understand which foods and lifestyles are best for you, and how to stay balanced throughout the year and through each stage of life. It also helps us predict and prevent health issues and better manage our current imbalances.
Self-knowledge as Preventative Medicine
At Sevanti, we believe preventative medicine is superior to all other medicine. Prevention is the ultimate cure for any disease and the key to wellness. As a preventative medicine, Ayurveda asserts that our constitution is the foundation of our wellness. This can only be realized by a deep understanding of the unique qualities of each person’s body and life. Our Ayurveda practitioners and counselors can help you with that understanding.
Health Conditions Assessment
Explore the Imbalances
The forces of stress, unhealthy lifestyles, and diets can and will affect the doshas, giving rise to imbalance and health symptoms, known in Ayurveda as Vikriti. To varying degrees, imbalances will frequently happen. Though one’s ideal constitutional nature or Prakriti never changes, the dynamic nature of the doshas requires mindful daily vigilance and understanding of restoring balance once it occurs. Each consultation will attempt to assess the current status of each dosha and its involvement in creating imbalances in your life.
Determine Proper Ayurvedic Methods
Your health concerns will be discussed in terms of an Ayurvedic understanding of the role of each dosha. With that understanding, the underlying Ayurvedic cause (nidan) will be identified, the role of the doshas in disease will be revealed, and methods of reestablishing balance will be deduced from the doshic imbalances presented.
Ayurveda Wellness Plan Report
Personalized Guideline
Each consultation or assessment will provide the information needed to generate a set of personalized guidelines and a wellness plan per se for the client to follow as a roadmap back to wellness. The path is unique based on remedying the most imbalanced dosha in one’s imbalance.
Wellness Plan Includes
Ayurveda wellness plan methods include personalized Ayurvedic nutrition, lifestyle, herbal remedies, culinary spices and cooking, home cleansing, Ayurveda psychology, subtle therapies, and more.
Follow-up Consultations
Go Deeper, Get Better Results
It is often recommended that you return for follow-up consultations after your initial consultation. A series of appointments allows clients to integrate their recommendations, explore new insights and observations, and delve deeper into creating a more solid and sustained balance. Lasting balance comes in stages, each requiring new insights and direction shifts. The Ayurveda Counselor may adjust and add to current recommendations or address new health concerns as they become a priority. Follow-up consultations are one half-hour to an hour in length.
