Ayurveda, the science of life, is a truly holistic and ancient healing system that has proven itself over 5,000 years.

It is an all-encompassing, custom-tailored approach to health that factors in all aspects of one's life, with the goal of achieving the highest level of health.

Because this health system looks at the whole life of the person, a variety of modalities and recommendations may be implemented or suggested.

Surya-Veda, derived from Sanskrit, means “wisdom of the Sun.” It holds the transformative, healing, creative energy of the Sun. It is also very logical, reveling in truth, intellect, and clarity – when the sun comes out, it illuminates all that is. With this energy, we have the ability to see things more clearly.

At Suryaveda, we implement transformative wisdom into your sessions by bringing to light things that other people don't see, like patterns or the deeper meanings underlying actions, thoughts, and beliefs.

We'll help take strides toward changing your negative mental thought patterns, or habits, which may be inhibiting you from achieving or making progress toward your health goals.

You'll leave your sessions at Suryaveda with herbal recommendations for your healing. But you'll also leave more self-aware and empowered, ready to come back to wellness. Walk into the light. It's time to ignite your inner healing.

Ayurveda is a truly holistic system of healing. “Ayu” means “life” and “Veda” means “science” or “knowledge”. This 5000+ year old philosophy and art of healing not only provides us the tools required to heal ourselves once we are ill, but more, it provides us the wisdom needed to prevent long term and acute illness or dis-ease in our body, mind, and soul. This profound philosophy addresses quite literally every aspect of human life, and is organized into different branches to address everything from pre-birth to end of life.

The science of Ayurveda is based on an ancient philosophy, which essentially defines every living thing in existence from a very elemental and energetic level. This deep and complex philosophy allows the practitioner to understand their clients from an energetic standpoint, as opposed to a diseased standpoint. The disease is, instead, thought of and seen as “dis-ease” or a state of imbalance of one’s unique physiological make-up or “constitution”, which may be corrected through right-living. Right-living includes daily habits and life-style routines, herbs, diet, correct hygiene, exercise and even proper management of one’s emotions, thoughts and attitudes! All of these factors of life should support the primary constitution of the individual, and will help the person to build and maintain high energy levels, greater immunity and overall health with the goal of attaining the highest level of fulfillment and potential.

The most foundational concept understood and implemented by the Ayurvedic Practitioner is the theory of Tridosha. Tridosha is a based on the understanding of the elements; Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether. These elements embody a unique set of characteristics, qualities and traits which correspond to the traits and qualities of every material thing that exists in the natural world, including human beings. Because our physical bodies are comprised of a very unique set of qualities, traits, and characteristics, and because we also know that all physical matter is comprised of a unique set of elements, at the most foundational level, then it must be the case that treating our physical make up must be effective by using this approach. Once we determine which element, or elements, we are deficient in, then we can use herbs, foods, and activities, even mental exercises to consciously bring ourselves back into balance and optimal health!
