Seetal Tej on her Ayurveda experience


I am my own laboratory and have done many years of self-study diving deep into the world of Ayurveda as a healing practice. 
My love of learning and desire to understand how the body works took me on a path of study in biology, holistic nutrition, Ayurveda, Kundalini Yoga, and Chinese Medicine. My journey continues. 
In 2005 I went through one of the roughest periods in my life, both mentally and emotionally.  
In 2009 I sought help only to be dismissed by doctors. I began to do my own research to heal myself, and this was when I found Ayurveda. 
Learning about my specific mind-body constitution (dosha), what had come out of alignment, and how my habit patterns were further affecting my constitution helped bring recovery to an almost 10-year struggle that can be described in western terms as hypoglycemia, hormone imbalance, and perimenopause (stress-overload).  
I began to dive deep into Ayurveda, herbs and the science of self-healing. It is my pleasure to share the wisdom of these traditions with you and support you on your journey to whole health.
I believe nourishment comes in all forms. I believe in eating whole foods, enlivening our bodies with movement and adequate rest. I believe you can achieve and maintain your optimal weight with ease. I believe you can heal your body and calm the mind. I believe in play, connecting with nature, and with people. I believe it is important to learn to love and be loved. I believe in gratitude and in the simple pleasures in life to awaken the spirit. I believe you have a right to thrive and to express yourself fully. I believe in you being fully nourished.
