Ayurveda is a wonderful system of healing with many branches. It has been India's main method of medicine, both preventative & curative, for over 5,000 years. Without the aid of modern technology ancient seers knew the workings of the inner body.

Today it is as relevant as ever & is still used throughout India as a complete medical system. This ancient world medicine embraces all healing practices, cultures, philosophies & religions. It brings about 'unity in diversity'.

It is recognised today for it's wonderful dietary, herbal, life-style, yogic & popular massage therapies. These all help us live healthier, happier, wiser & longer lives.

It's principles are simple; like increases like, unlike decreases like.
Or, when we become imbalanced for example, from environmental, emotional or mental stress's, a range of symptoms can occur, from dis-content to dis-ease. Ayurvedic therapies seek out & correct these imbalances, restoring equilibrium.

Each Ayurvedic treatment is a creative process, tailored to return the individual to health. When you come for a treatment with me, the first step is the Ayurvedic consultation.

An Ayurvedic consultation differs from others. The physiological, physical & psychological aspects of  the client are  all assessed to ascertain the Ayurvedic constitution (dosha). This is where I look at that which is functioning harmoniously in your system & that which is not.

Treatment(s)  is planned accordingly. Great emphasis is placed on the use of oils. Ayurveda states that if it's not fit for consumption it should not be used upon the skin.

I use organic, cold pressed, sesame oil for a base with specific constitution (dosha) oils blended in. Marma (energy/vital points) are treated & Reiki can be drawn freely throughout.

  • From arriving to leaving everything was exceptional. Lovely venue. Angela is amazing, she really cares about her clients. Wonderful, thank you.

  • "I was introduced to Angela on a retreat day. I made an appointment initially for an ayurvedic consultation, it was amazing. I was blown away by her knowledge and sensitivity. Not only are the treatments she offers very therapeutic for the literal body, but there is something about what she does that works on a deeply emotional level. OK, I'm a closet hippie but I'm also a cynic which means its pretty difficult to accept some of the more untangible aspects of holistic treatments, with Angela I believe and trust."
