Lifestyle Practices for Daily Living
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a natural system of medicine that originated in India and evolved there for more than 5,000 years. It is one of the world’s oldest healing traditions, yet its guiding principles are now being validated by modern medical science.
Ayurveda focuses on the whole person – the mind, body, and spirit – seeking to correct the imbalances that cause distress and, ultimately, contribute to disease.
Who can benefit?
Anyone seeking greater health, balance, and a vibrant well-being will benefit from a personal mind-body Ayurvedic consultation. You will gain an in-depth understanding of Ayurveda’s timeless healing principles and learn practical ways to integrate this wisdom in your own life.
What happens during an Ayurvedic consultation?
In a session with Belinda we’ll have a heart-to-heart conversation about your concerns. You will be asked a broad range of questions about your lifestyle, activities, diet, relationships, work, and current sources of stress.
Belinda will provide a mind-body assessment that will help you understand your unique mind-body constitution and any underlying imbalances.
A typical consultation may include guidance in:
• Your mind-body personality
• Stress management
• Restful sleep techniques
• A daily balancing routine
• Mind-body integration
• Herbal supplementation
• Nutrition for your unique mind-body type
• Meditation
• Yoga
Core Healing Principles
Healing is the process of reestablishing the integration between body, mind, and spirit, allowing us to return to our natural state of health and balance.
A shift in our perception and interpretation enables us to break old habits and awaken new possibilities for balance, healing, and transformation.
Our health cannot be separated from what we eat, what we do, and what we think. Ayurveda provides us with a system for understanding the energies and qualities that are set into motion by our daily living practices, so that we can use them to counteract or prevent the imbalances that lead to disease
*An Ayurvedic lifestyle consultation is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician with any questions you may have regarding medical conditions.

Testimonial:
Belinda is passionate about her clients. She is very well researched and credentialed. Belinda was very well prepared and eager to make a difference. She answered all questions, and I had many advanced questions. She never made me feel rushed. Her follow up was very detailed. I highly recommend her, and I rarely recommend anyone. - Dawn
(Dawn came to me due to sleep concerns, often only getting 3 hrs a night of sleep. We delved into what could be the root of the issue, we spoke about what she did from the moment she woke til she went to bed, her thoughts, what she ate during the day, exercise, evening route, what joy she experienced, etc. From that we implemented: A sleep routine based on the circadian rhythms, a diet that reduced inflammation, exercise, yoga and mindfulness, then herbal supplements to support while new changes were established.)
Marilou’s Story:
There are almost no words to adequately convey how much Belinda has helped my overall wellbeing and health over the last few years, physically and mentally.
First by introducing me to Ayurveda nutrition, which isn't a "diet" in the more common sense of the word, but more of a lifestyle. Belinda taught me to understand my dominant dosha and eat and drink accordingly. Very simple changes in my life, such as eating warm, cooked and spicier food, drinking warm beverages rather than iced, keeping my own "fire" stoked so to speak, have dramatically changed my metabolism and lifted my energy considerably. As a lifelong competitive athlete, I feel far better equipped now as I age to keep my body healthy and ready for whatever physical activity I want to engage in!
Second, as my work recently took a particularly stressful turn, I am so grateful for the messages from Belinda that reminded me to breathe, rely on certain mantras to calm myself, and how to wake up each morning with the new routine of rising peacefully and not allowing the stress to hit me in the face at my first waking moment. By preparing myself for the day thoughtfully, I have been much more able to manage stress and accomplish more with a clear mind and a grateful heart!
She has my unending gratitude and I can't imagine had she not come into my life when she did. She is held in my highest regard and I can't endorse her strongly enough! - ML
