Discover Your Dosha

The Blueprint of Your Mind-Body Harmony

Ayurveda teaches that your unique energy type, your Dosha, holds the key to balanced health, emotions, digestion, energy, and inner peace.

Start by understanding yours.

What Is a Dosha?

Ayurveda, the ancient healing system of India, teaches that everything in nature — including you — is made of five elements:

Your Dosha is like your energetic fingerprint — influencing how you think, feel, digest, sleep, react to stress, and even how you love.

When your Dosha is balanced, you feel aligned. When it’s imbalanced, you feel it — physically, emotionally, and mentally.

These elements combine into three primary mind-body energies, called Doshas:

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 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.

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
