Ayurveda
Consultations & 10 Day Cleanse treatments
Ayurveda is known as the ‘Mother of All Healing” and is one of the oldest natural healthcare systems in the world. Ayurveda is an ancient system of healthcare that focuses on treating the individual rather than the symptoms they are suffering with. It’s a holistic approach-means that true wellness depends on understanding each person’s unique mind, body and spiritual make up.
Established over 5,000 years ago in India, Ayurveda provides us with teachings, tools, remedies and rituals to manage our own health, so that we learn to understand how foods, our lifestyle choices, the seasons, the time of day and even the time of life affect our wellbeing.
In Ayurveda we each have our own unique constitution type or prakruti which impacts every aspect of our lives. Living in tune with our constitution is the key to wellness.

10 Day Reset Cleanse
10-day reset program – €170
This 10-day reset program is a perfect way to immerse yourself in the Ayurvedic lifestyle.
In Ayurveda, cleanses are recommended twice a year to help your body clear out ama (accumulated toxins) so you can feel lighter, brighter, and clearer again.
Cleansing particularly during seasonal change is an essential part of Ayurvedic healing because it allows your body to clear out excess hormones, chemicals and toxins that have been built up over time and restores the body’s digestive power “Agni” – as this is one of the most important keys to good health. In order for the body to get well, lose weight and feel great, you must remove the blockages keeping you from getting there. In Ayurveda, excess toxins “Ama” is seen as one of the main reasons for many illnesses and diseases.
Taking time out for yourself will give you the chance to turn inward and step out of “normal patterns”, taking a look at how we are living life and how it is affecting your health, mind and body. It is a chance for you to change how you operate and for you to experience balance in your body and mind. In return you will experience more vitality, improved digestion, glowing skin, better sleep and mental clarity.
The Dosha’s
At the heart of Ayurveda is the understanding that all living and non- living things on our planet and our universe are made up of the five elements- Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether (space)
These five elements combine to form three energies that govern us and nature. Vata, Pitta and Kapha, these three energies are known as the Dosha’s.
We each have our own blend of the dosha’s, which is why we look, act and think differently from each other. These energies govern all physical and mental processes within the body and mind. Our body shape, tolerance for stress, perceptions, mental state, and emotions are completely unique because they are driven by which dosha is predominant in us. Its also the reason why any particular diet, exercise regime, or remedy does not work for everyone.
Vata : AIR & Ether
Vata is the subtle energy governing the physiology of movement in the body. Vata gives us qualities of air- dry, light, cold, rough, mobile, clear. Balanced Vata makes us creative, confident, artistic. Imbalanced Vata can cause anxiety, nervousness and spaciness.
Pitta : Fire & Water
Pitta is the subtle energy governing the physiology of metabolism in the body. Pitta gives us qualities of the fire- oily, light, hot and sharp. Balanced Pitta makes us focused, driven, clear and ambitious. Imbalanced Pitta can cause anger, jealousy, criticism and frustration.
Kapha : Earth & Water
Kapha is the subtle energy governing the physiology of structure in the body. Kapha gives us qualities of the Earth- heavy, sticky, stable, cold, oily. Balanced kaph makes us loving, secure and grounded. Imbalanced kapha can cause heaviness, lethargy and attachment.
Customer reviews
I took part in an Autumn Ayurvedic group cleanse with Sandra. I found the benefits of the cleanse to be life changing. I gained more energy, increased productivity and focus and my moods were so much more balanced throughout the cleanse. My bloating decreased as well and I have felt an overall improvement in my digestion. I am going to keep the principles of Ayurveda with me and have significantly reduced caffeine and sugar in my diet. Thank you Sandra for your knowledge, support and encouragement throughout the process. It was very accessible and manageable and I would highly recommend it.

Cured my Hayfever! I had a consultation with Sandra in January in prep for the upcoming hayfever season (I get it awful bad) Sandra was on it. Her Ayurveda consultation was so helpful. The Allergard herbs she recommended inconjuction with a new dairy free diet almost immediately improved my digestion and energy levels. The daily food intake routine Sandra layed out is something i hope i will stick to forever. This summer is the most Hayfever free i’ve been in 20 years!
Sandra is so personable and for someone like myseIf who was new to Ayurveda, she was clear and so reassuring about what i needed to do. Would definitely recommend Sandra if you want to improve your diet and lifestyle.
