We all have in us the miraculous power of self-healing!

Well-being begins with optimal health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. In these sessions, we create a personalized program to help you stay balanced and find harmony on every level. Ayurveda offers a wide range of tools to support this journey:

Dietary recommendations tailored to your body type
Ayurvedic cooking lessons
Cleanse programs
Emotional balance
Ayurvedic lifestyle tips to enhance your yoga practice, daily routine, and diet

During your initial consultation, we discuss your current health and identify your body type (doshas) to tailor a lifestyle plan just for you. Everything is explained in clear, easy-to-understand terms, and you’re given a practical guide on how to integrate Ayurveda into your daily life.

Follow-up consultations are crucial. These sessions allow you to review your progress, fine-tune your program, and receive encouragement. While follow-ups are essential, they are tailored to your pace and needs—whether every month or every other week at the beginning, and then as you feel the need. As you continue with your follow-ups, you'll deepen your understanding of your unique constitution, learn how various factors impact you, and discover ways to balance or neutralize them. This is a journey of transformation towards wellness and wholeness.

What is Ayurveda? (5 minutes Interview)

“Sophie offers down-to-earth and practical guidance through her counseling and there is no question that she truly takes your wellbeing to heart and cares about your growth and improvement.”

Bridget McGowan

“I just wanted to give you some feedback that I really am very grateful for everything that I have learned with you.

I even started my evening routines and I am just finishing up a 5 day cleanse this evening. I appreciate all the blessings my new practices have brought me. I have noticed I feel more confident in my choices, more organized in my day, and more at peace in every moment in my day. I have been praying for such things in my life for a long time, and I’m so happy I finally have something that helps me apply it consistently.

I can’t wait to dig into the resources you sent me.”

Catalina Finnell

“Ice in my drink? Not for me, as a rule. But I always wondered why? After my personal Ayurvedic consultation with Sophie, I now know why I prefer warmer drinks, warmer weather, and warmer foods in general.

And I seek them out. It’s why I live in Temecula. It’s why Fall is my favorite time of year. Based on this new knowledge of my own personal body type, I can now quickly evaluate and choose the best option in food types, seasons, and environments. Sophie's recommendations allow me to have a healthy, happy, and effortless lifestyle every day.”

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old practice from India. It is translated from Sanskrit as "the science of life and longevity."

This nature-based system helps us understand:

Who we are physically, emotionally, and mentally.
How factors like the seasons, our environment, or our diet influence our unique constitution or dosha.

Ayurveda is considered the sister science of Yoga as they share philosophical principles. According to Ayurveda, the universe is composed of the 5 elements (space, air, fire, water, earth)… so is the body. Thus, the human being is the embodied universe. These 5 elements, in their biological forms, combine to create the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), which you can think of as energy forces. Every individual’s dosha combination is unique, therefore each one of us has a unique way toward well-being. For this reason, Ayurveda offers a personalized approach to wellness.

Ayurveda takes a holistic view of health by addressing imbalances in the entire person rather than focusing solely on symptoms. Factors, such as stress, diet, lifestyle, exercise, climate, and seasonal changes can disrupt this balance, leading to toxicity in the body and compromised well-being. Understanding your constitution will guide you toward maintaining harmony and achieving long-term wellness.

Vata is composed of air and space elements.

When Vata is the most present in the constitution, people are creative, joyous, quick thinkers, and good communicators. When they are out of balance or under stress, they become restless, and anxious and have elimination problems, constipation, or cramps.

Pitta is composed of fire and water elements.

When Pitta is the most present in the constitution, people are focused, passionate, intelligent, and courageous. When they are out of balance or under stress they become irritable, angry, intolerant, and have digestive problems, inflammation, or ulcers.

Kapha is composed of earth and water elements.

When Kapha is the most present in the constitution, people are calm, motherly, methodical, and thoughtful. When they are out of balance or under stress they tend to be stagnant, stubborn, gain weight, and are depressed.
