Determine Your Ayurvedic Constitution
About Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a traditional medicine that originated in India over 5000 years ago. It’s a sister science to yoga, with the understanding that yoga is a journey to balance the mind, and Ayurveda offers modalities to balance the body.
The Sanskrit word broken down translates into:
Ayur= life
Veda = science or knowledge
Therefore, you can think of Ayurveda as, “the science of life.”
Understanding The Doshas
Ayurveda works with the five elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. It’s believed that all humans are comprised of these elements, and from these elements emerge your doshas.
The doshas are three different energies, which run through your body. Every person was born with their own unique combination of these three energies, sometimes referred to as their constitution or “Prakriti.”
About Emily
I'm a Certified Nutritionist and Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor with a Masters in Nutrition Research. I've studied (and continue to explore) a range of mind-body practices, including mindfulness meditation, mindfulness-based self-compassion, herbal medicine, and cross-cultural spiritual practices.
My passion is to share the beautiful tradition of Ayurveda with anyone ready to receive it. Nothing fills my heart more than empowering people to find their own balance through mind-body practices like those found in the Vedas.
Although life can sometimes be chaotic, if you learn to be your own "calm in the storm," nothing can stop you from getting what you want. My goal is to help you find your inner healer by illuminating the wisdom you already hold within your body and mind.
“Emily has been an invaluable resource on my nutrition and wellness journey. Her ability to incorporate all aspects of mind, body, and spirit has me looking at nutrition and health in a completely different way. I finally feel like I have a handle on what my body truly needs after years of trying so many different programs. Highly recommend her work and guidance.”
“Emily listened thoroughly about issues I was having. I never felt rushed or silly about symptoms I was bringing up to her. She evaluated what was going on with my body as a whole and made sure to address each issue. I highly recommend Emily, she is just fantastic”
“I reached out to Emily to learn more about my Ayurvedic constitution and she was incredibly helpful answering my questions and taking the time to explain how the three dosha work in my body. She taught me how to truly understand myself so I could lead a more balanced life.”
