Ayurveda

Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, Lark Witt, CASi will guide you on your own personal Ayurvedic journey towards optimal health and digestion, balanced emotions, blissful sleep, a satisfying spiritual life (whatever that means to you), and joyful living!  She’ll gather a detailed picture of your health (mental wellness, body health, and state of your spirit) by having you complete a detailed questionnaire prior to your first meeting.   When your paperwork is complete and you’ve returned it to her for analysis, she will then set up your . . .

Initial Ayurvedic Consultation (2-hour):  This is a comprehensive holistic assessment of your health from an Ayurvedic perspective.  Together she’ll gather any missing details, do a physical examination, tongue diagnosis, pulse reading (if meeting in person), etc.  Lark will discuss the primary reason for your visit as well as any other imbalances or symptoms you are currently experiencing.  Your Ayurvedic constitution will be assessed by looking deeply into long-term patterns in your body and mind.  This initial consultation allows for a thorough assessment and these details will provide her with information about your constitution (or prakruti, commonly known as your dosha) as well as your current imbalance (or vikruti).  A discussion of your long-term goals will complete the session.

Report of Findings (1 hour):  You will meet with Lark a week later and she will share her insights to help you reach a better understanding of your Ayurvedic constitution (dosha or prakruti in Sanskrit) and your current state of imbalance (vikruti) in order to provide a more specialized treatment plan.  The consultation includes diet, lifestyle, and treatment suggestions.  As well as herbal formulas given over a course of sessions to help you maintain balance, heal illness, and to reduce stress.  Your treatment plan will address both your short and long-term goals and create a daily ritual that will support you on your journey back to balanced health and well-being.  You will follow up this session with a . . .

Follow-Up Wellness Consultation(s) (1 hour):   Each of your Follow-Up Sessions will take place weekly for the first month so we can monitor your individual reactions to your custom herbal and lifestyle recommendations.  In each session, we will connect to check in with your progress, assess any changes and additions needed for your treatment plan, and to provide you with encouragement and support on how to continue with the recommended treatment plan and herbal formulas.  

We will assess how the Ayurvedic recommendations are affecting the state of your digestion, elimination, sleep quality, mental and emotional well-being, as well as your primary complaint.  After one month, your sessions can take place every other week.  With time, as your symptoms ease, your sessions can be once-a-month and eventually will occur only during acute conditions — contact dermatitis, seasonal allergies, or a new condition (like menopause), for example.

Ayurvedic philosophy believes YOU are an essential part of and must participate in your own wellness journey.  Therefore, we will focus on creating a completely personalized “road map to health” that suits your unique mind/body type, ideal lifestyle, personal preferences, and health goals.  If you are not near Columbus, OH, we can use Zoom or Skype so we can connect wherever you are. 

Health is a state of body.  Wellness is a state of being.
