Personal Approach
Kari’s approach to nourishing Ayurvedic care of the senses, mind & body is rooted in the ancient Ayurvedic tradition of Shamana, the oldest branch of preventive Ayurvedic medicine, which emphasizes calming and soothing self-care in daily life. She honors each client as a unique and evolving being, offering long-term support through personalized Ayurvedic lifestyle counseling, including diet and herbal program design, supported by self-care immersion lessons. Her sessions, held virtually in a serene garden setting, create a sacred space where nature, rest, and rhythm guide your healing journey.
Treatment Philosophy
With a deep reverence for nature and its healing powers, Kari draws from decades of living close to Nature, daily personal practice and early life Yoga study in India. She believes healing begins by reconnecting with the elements - Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth which exist within us. Through Ayurvedic tools like pulse reading, meditation and Yoga Nidra, Kari gently addresses imbalances in the body, mind, and spirit simultaneously, guiding clients toward lasting well-being. Her goal is not only symptom relief, but deep restoration of lasting inner harmony.
