Ayurveda is a natural, safe, non-invasive and cost effective. Start using Ayurveda today to assist in prevention and/or re-current symptoms.


When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve? 

It’s rare for anyone to get an hour to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. Here, at The Health Institute we create a supportive environment that will enable you to achieve all of your health goals.
 
Listening. Questioning. Understanding: This is our mantra. It represents the golden method we use when working with you. We believe we must spend time to engage, understand your concerns and desires for the future. We ask questions to establish a shared understanding. This is the best way to achieve the ideal result and we can celebrate that with you on your behalf. 
 
Most approaches to nutrition dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, we coach you to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline. No one diet works for everyone. We have studied all the major dietary theories and use practical lifestyle coaching methods to guide you in discovering which approach works best for you. We will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. We will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.

Private Sessions

Our goals are to promote, nurture and maintain good health. We provide both wellness care for health-conscious individuals to help reduce sickness, and integrative healthcare for individuals suffering from many illnesses, including stress and pain-related illness. Our integrative medicine programs rejuvenate the body and increase your energy levels, strengthening the vital force and immune system.
 
Programs complement each other and can be taken together or separately, to give you the knowledge and skills needed to create and live a healthy, balanced and vibrant life. 

Our Ayurvedic health practitioners assist individuals in promoting long, healthy, balanced and active lifestyles. They engage in their own unyielding pursuit to develop and teach change-work strategies that break through conventional limits. Beyond which they endeavour to share in interpersonal communication and self-development with those who are passionate about igniting personal change. 
 
We aim to improve the world, one person at a time, by teaching skills and concepts, providing products and building meaningful relationships that support both personal and professional fulfilment and enrich the lives of those we serve.
Our operation is built upon integrity, respect and a firm commitment to provide you with the highest quality of service. 

Ayurvedic Nutritional & Lifestyle Advice: Eat Better, Breathe Better, Live Better

Ayurvedic lifestyle one-to-one consultations address your overall health, nutritional and lifestyle needs, and offer  empowering tools to create and maintain the nutritional program that best supports your unique body type in harmony with the rhythms of nature.

A  nutrition session that will really help you
Many people have been vegetarian for many years and believe they know how to eat, since they already eat whole, organic foods. Our Ayurvedic Lifestule Consultant  will  look at what you are eating nutritionally and ask you if you can make some small changes. After four days following these recommendations, you will feel a thousand times better. The food at the Shanti Yoga health Institute and Nirvana Wellness retreat is terrific. You will be eating the right foods for your body, and you will feel satisfied - never desperately waiting for the next meal. Also recommended are the practice of mindful eating and eating more slowly, which mades a huge difference. You will feel such a happy person, at peace with things.
