Salt Lake City Ayurveda Consultations
Salt Lake City Ayurveda Consultations
Scheduling and Paperwork: As soon as we schedule your 2-hour Initial Consultation, I will send you some comprehensive paperwork, asking about medical history, goals, long term digestive, psychological, and physical tendencies, reproductive tendencies, daily diet, daily habits, sleep, and any and all health challenges going on right now.
At the 2-hour Initial Consultation, we go through all of your paperwork in detail and do a physical examination. I'll be asking lots of questions to get more details about and to clarify your symptoms, patterns, and history.
If we're meeting in person, I'll take some photos of your face, hands, body, and tongue. With your permission, I'll feel the texture of the skin on your forearm and the texture of your hair; take your blood pressure, perform an Ayurvedic pulse reading, and perform an Ayurvedic abdominal exam. If you prefer not to be touched, we can skip any procedures with which you are not 100% comfortable.
If we're meeting virtually, I'll ask you to send me photos of your face, hands, body, and tongue.
I will put together an Ayurvedic Assessment Summary for you. This will include your prakruti, or doshic assessment--the unique percentage of kapha, pitta, and vata doshas with which you were conceived. This will also include your vikruti, or the dosha(s) that is/are out of balance right now. I'll also list all the features and attributes that contribute to each of the doshas in your prakruti and vikruti.
I will give you initial diet and lifestyle / practices recommendations to help with your imbalances, symptoms, and chief complaints.
I will also give you a book to read and short videos to watch, between the 2-hour Initial Consult and the 60-min Follow-Up Visit, so you have a basic understanding of Ayurvedic principles before we meet again and as you incorporate diet and lifestyle recommendations recommendations.
At the Initial Consultation or day or two after (sometimes I need to "sit with," or think about your intake for a day or two), I will design herbal formulations for you. These will support your body and aid in your treatment plan as you come back into balance. If you'd like to include these in your treatment plan, I can mail these to you or you can pick them up when they are ready.
Finally, I'll give you an overview of the 6-12 month plan that we will work on implementing very gradually over that time period together through regular, Ayurvedic Health Counseling session. You can also choose to work on these things independently, if you are very self-motivated or don't need the accountability or, similarly, if you'd like just like to check in with me when you need me.
At the 60-minute Follow-up Visit, we'll check in with your herbal formulations (if you choose to include those), diet and lifestyle recommendations and implementation, any issues you're having incorporating the initial recommendations, your symptoms, and any questions you have. If appropriate, we can modify or make adjustments to your treatment plan, and/or bring in more layers to your treatment plan.
If you'd like to continue to work together after the Initial Consultation and Follow-up Visit, the Ayurvedic healing process can take 6-12 months.
The Ayurvedic healing process depends upon 3 things:
1. your nature (prakruti), how committed you are to changing gradually, how stressful your life is, in what kind of environment you live, etc.,
2. the nature of your imbalance(s) (vikruti), how long they've been going on, how serious your health challenges are, whether or not you have multiple challenges, etc.;
3. the nature of the medicine with which we are working, which is part of my job in formulating recommendations and products tailored just for you.
The purpose of the whole process is to allow your body to heal naturally and at its own pace; the healing comes from you, and I'm just here to guide you and hold space for you.
For many, this whole process gives them the courage and motivation to make pretty amazing life shifts in the areas of career, relationship, and even parenting. While patients come to work on digestion or medical diagnoses, they often leave with profound change that they never knew they had the potential to create for themselves. It can be an incredibly healing and rewarding process for both practitioner and patient.
I recommend working together every 2 weeks at first, then gradually moving toward monthly and then, once your imbalances have healed, seasonally to check in with herbs, diet, and daily habits or whenever you just need a "tune-up."
