Testimonials

Picture
"Just wanted to send you a quicksticks email simply to say thanks again for your assistance & time re’ sorting out my health issues. Wanted to let you know that I’m feeling sooooooo much better – so far so good – I’m very much on the road to recovery & I started to notice a substantial difference after only a few days on the new diet & now, nearly a couple of months in, I’m feeling a whole lot better.

I’m sticking with it & I’m so happy with the results so far! Just thought you’d want some feedback & wanted to say a big Thank you once again. Very much appreciate your help!" -J. Naughton


Picture "Ever since I was a child I have had a chronic skin condition. My skin was itchy and flaky. I tried numerous medical treatments (both western and natural) but could not find a permanent cure.

I have also had a chronic liver problem which affected my digestion. I was never able to gain weight and suffered chronic indigestion. Again I was not able to find a permanent solution.

I have always been interested in Indian culture. Many years ago I learnt of the ayurvedic system and tried to heal myself through books with limited success. Six weeks ago I visited Olivia and began a herbal and oil therapy which also included regular ayurvedic massage. I immediately felt at ease with Olivia. She is very knowledgeable in the area of holistic medicine and comes across as a genuine caring person.

After one week on the treatment my digestion began to feel clear and stronger. In the following weeks the itching stopped and my skin cleared up. Olivia also provided a diet plan which recommended the foods I needed to consume and which ones to avoid. I am sure this has helped the healing process.

I have no reservation in recommending Olivia – especially for digestive problems."

    WHAT IS AYURVEDA?

    Ayurveda is a 5000 year age old healing system from India. 'Ayur' means life and 'veda' means science, therefore it is the science of life and longevity.This ancient science recognises the connection between man and nature. We are a microcosm of the Universe as the 5 elements of space, air, fire, water and earth are present in us and around us. These elements govern our physiological, mental and emotional balance. The elements also govern the change of seasons in mother nature and the sunrise and sunset.

    The 5 elements are grouped into three biological life forces (bio-energies) also known as doshas and are named Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

    Vata is a combination of air and space. It governs movement, respiration, nervous system, circulation, ingestion of food, peristalsis of the gastro-intestinal tract, sensation and elimination. Vata causes coldness. The qualities are dry, light, cold, rough, subtle, mobile, clear and astringent in taste. The sites of Vata dosha are the lower abdomen, large intestine, bladder, bones, head, ears, throat, diaphragm and heart function. Clarity, creativity and joy come from Vata. Anxiety and fear also come from Vata.

    Pitta is a combination of fire and water. It governs transformation and metabolism, digestion, absorption and assimilation of food. Pitta is the creator of heat. The qualities are hot, sharp, light, liquid, spreading, oily and sour. The sites of Pitta dosha are the eyes, liver, spleen, gallbladder, sweat, blood, stomach and small intestine. Courage, ambition, intelligence and understanding come from Pitta. Anger, heat and impatience come also come from Pitta.

    Kapha is a combination of water and earth. It governs lubrication, growth and nourishment, structure and stability, water electrolyte balance, fat regulation, strength and stamina. Kapha can cause coldness and lethargy. The qualities are heavy, slow/dull, cold, oily, liquid, slimy/smooth, dense, soft, static, sticky, cloudy, hard and gross. The sites of Kapha dosha are lungs and respiratory tract, semen, plasma, muscles, fat, lymph, connective tissue, brain and myelin sheath around nerve cell axons. Memory retention, contentment, forgiveness and compassion come from Kapha. Greed, attachment and too much sleeping also come from Kapha.

    We all have Vata, Pitta and Kapha within us however each individual has a unique ratio of the doshas. There are as many doshic body types as there are people in the world. Your original body type called Prakruthi never changes and is permanent. When your body is out of harmony due to improper diet, lifestyle, accumulated toxins in the body or mind, imbalanced mind, emotions or external factors such as climate, then the doshas vitiate by increasing or decreasing and this imbalance is called Vikruthi. The goal in Ayurveda is to return to your body to Prakruthi state, which is your perfect ratio that gives you abundant health and harmony of body, mind and spirit. Knowing your Prakruthi also gives you direction upon which illnesses you may have in the future.  Treatment can involve, Ayurvedic herbal medicines, doshic diet, lifestyle (daily regimen and seasonal regimen), potent detoxification and rejuvenation therapies known as Panchakarma, meditation, yoga and other gentle therapies to assist the healing process. We are from the nature and we have been given everything we need to heal from nature.
