Ayurveda

At Grateful Minds, I share Ayurveda in a grounded, accessible, and safe way — focusing on education, lifestyle practices, stress reduction, self-care, nutrition principles, and mind-body awareness.

This page is designed to give you a clear, simple, and empowering introduction to what Ayurveda is, how it can help you, and where you can begin your journey.

Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic wellbeing systems, originating over 5,000 years ago in India. Its purpose is simple:

Help you understand your body

Restore Balance

Support your ability to heal

What Is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda translates to “the science of life.”

It teaches that every person is born with a unique mind-body blueprint, known as their Dosha, which shapes their physical tendencies, emotional patterns, digestion, sleep, stress response, and long-term wellbeing.

✔ Lifestyle adjustments


✔ Food and digestion awareness


✔ Daily routines (Dinacharya)

✔ Sleep, energy, and hormonal balance

✔ Mindfulness practices


✔ Herbal traditions and natural remedies (used only when recommended by qualified practitioners)


✔ Breathwork, movement, self-massage, and grounding techniques

Ayurveda focuses on:

Ayurveda does not treat, diagnose, or cure medical conditions.
At Grateful Minds, I provide educational guidance only, helping you build healthy daily habits aligned with your constitution.

My Story...

I discovered Ayurveda during my healing journey, and understanding my Dosha changed the way I eat, move, and care for myself. It brought me back into alignment — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

My intention is to help you experience that same clarity, balance, and inner peace.

Following my triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis in August 2024, I made a decision that changed the course of my healing. Instead of proceeding with chemotherapy, I chose to focus on a holistic path — one that nurtured not only my body, but also my mind, emotions, and spirit.

In May 2025, I travelled to Kerala, India — the birthplace of Ayurveda — to undergo a traditional Panchakarma, one of the most profound healing and detoxification therapies in Ayurvedic medicine.

🪔 Agnikarma & Moxibustion – Ayurvedic heat therapy to increase circulation and remove stagnation
🦶 Reflexology – stimulating energy points to support whole-body healing
💊 Ayurvedic herbal medicines – personalised tonics and remedies

This experience has ignited a calling within me to share the wisdom of Ayurveda with others. And the first step on this journey begins with discovering your Dosha — understanding your unique nature, so you can tailor your food, lifestyle, yoga, and self-care to what truly brings you back into balance.

Are you ready to explore yours?

Before any treatment began, an experienced Ayurvedic doctor assessed my health, listened deeply to my story, and guided me through a detailed Dosha assessment to determine my natural mind–body constitution.
The result: I am Pitta dominant, strongly guided by the fire element.
My treatment plan was then uniquely tailored to support me in cooling, soothing, and rebalancing that fiery energy.

Over two weeks, I experienced a series of powerful and ancient therapies, including:

🌿 Abhyanga – warm herbal oil full-body massage
🔥 Basti – herbal oil enemas for deep detoxification and resetting the gut
💆‍♀️ Shirodhara – a continuous stream of warm oil over the forehead to calm the nervous system
👣 Pada Abhyanga – foot massage to ground, soothe, and restore energy flow
💆‍♂️ Shiro Abhyanga – traditional Indian head massage to release tension and mental load

🌬️ Nasya – medicated herbal oils to clear the mind, sinuses, and energetic pathways
👁️ Netra Tarpana – nourishing ghee treatment to rejuvenate the eyes and nervous system
🌾 Navara Kizhi – warm herbal rice bolus massage to strengthen tissues and restore vitality
🧡 Udwarthanam – energising herbal powder massage to stimulate lymph flow and metabolism

This was not a spa retreat — it was ancient medicine, carried out with wisdom, intuition, and deep compassion. I felt seen not as a diagnosis, but as a whole human being.
