Ayurvedic Consultations & Treatments
Personalised guidance aligned with your unique constitution
Ayurveda considers each individual as unique. Before suggesting a treatment or recommendations, I take the time to understand your constitution (Prakriti), your potential imbalances (Vrikriti) and your health goals.
My support combines therapeutic consultation (nutrition, lifestyle, natural remedies) and traditional Ayurvedic treatments, for lasting and effective results.
Ayurvedic Consultations
FIRST SESSION
Initial Therapeutic Assessment
An in-depth consultation to establish your Ayurvedic profile (prakriti and vikruti) and define a therapeutic objective based on your health concerns. This includes the analysis of your constitution, potential imbalances, eating habits and lifestyle, complemented by observation (tongue, skin, etc.) and pulse reading.
A personalised plan is sent to you within approximately two weeks: nutrition (ritucharya), daily routine (dinacharya), and depending on the therapeutic objective defined, herbs and natural remedies (dravyaguna).
Duration: 90 min
FOLLOW-UP SESSION
Follow-up Consultation
After a period of putting the recommendations into practice (this duration varies for each person), we review the changes observed, necessary adjustments and the evolution of your balance. This is also the moment to ask any questions that need clarification.
Follow-up is often necessary to establish new habits and refine recommendations based on your experience.
Duration: 45 to 60 min
Bodywork Treatments
How does a first treatment work?
Ayurvedic bodywork treatments always begin with a 15-minute consultation: I take the time to understand your needs, your constitution and any imbalances in order to choose the most suitable treatment and oils. This exchange is an integral part of the session.
For a more in-depth approach, the ideal is to begin with a full 90-minute Ayurvedic consultation before your first treatment — this allows for a truly personalised and therapeutic experience.

TRADITIONAL AYURVEDIC MASSAGE
Abhyanga
Balancing the doshas
Abhyanga is a therapeutic massage targeting doshic imbalances (Vata, Pitta or Kapha) to correct them. The preliminary consultation determines your Ayurvedic profile (Prakriti and Vikriti) in order to select the most suitable warm medicated oil and protocol.
Applied over the entire body, the oil is worked with different techniques according to the therapeutic objective: effleurages to calm the nervous system, circulation activation and trigger points to release muscular tension. Marma points (vital points) may also be stimulated according to the protocol.
This is an ideal choice for discovering Ayurveda while enjoying a relaxing massage that works deeply on the tissues and muscles. *
Duration: 60, 75, 90 or 120 min (15-min consultation included)
GENTLE THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Snehana
Pacifying Vata, calming the nerves and softening toxins
Snehana is a deep oleation treatment, preparing the body to liquefy toxins (ama) accumulated in the tissues (dhatu).
The warm medicated oil is chosen according to your dosha and applied over the entire body with slow, regular and repetitive movements to pacify Vata and the nervous system. As it penetrates deeply, the oil lubricates the internal channels (srotas) and loosens the joints and muscles.
This is the Ayurvedic treatment par excellence for preparing the body for all other bodywork therapies. Snehana is particularly beneficial in cases of dryness, chronic fatigue or Vata imbalance. *
Duration: 90 or 120 min (15-min consultation included)
DEEP THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Mardana
Releasing blockages, eliminating toxins
Mardana is similar to Snehana but more vigorous, as it targets deeper tissue layers through dynamic kneading and firm, rhythmic movements. The warm medicated oil penetrates more deeply, nourishing the muscles and joints while promoting more thorough detoxification.
This treatment is ideal in cases of toxin-related congestion, to stimulate and drain the tissues and release excess adipose tissue. It is also suited to those suffering from chronic muscular tension or who engage in a lot of sport.
As it works the deepest tissue layers, it is generally recommended to have had at least one Snehana treatment beforehand in order to stabilise Vata and prepare the body to receive this more intense work. *
Duration: 60 or 75 min (15-min consultation included)
* A warm shower is recommended after the treatments to encourage even deeper penetration and help release the toxins.
