Ayurvedic wisdom says:

“Heal first through the mind, then the body, then the knife.”

When was the last time you really listened to what your body was telling you? In western culture we are accustomed to the “quick fix” anything to numb the pain, the emotions, and the symptoms. Ayurveda ask you to go deeper, to slow down and to find the root and to heal through self-awareness, care, and daily practices in order to bring your whole self (mind, body, spirit) into equilibrium before turning to modern medicine. Yes, there is a time and place for the support of modern medicine. However, one can begin gently, first by bringing awareness to what has been pushed down and what is out of balance in our own individual composition. You CAN take your healing into your own hands, and we are here to offer support and guidance along the way if you chose.

There is a part of you that is already whole.

At 18 Mile Creek we are here to help you nurture this wholeness. We’d like to help you learn about your body, about energy, about your spirit, and about lifestyle techniques and tools that can help you hear the whispers of the soul that sometimes get drowned out by the internal and external chatter.

Through our wellness workshops we will look at diet, lifestyle through the lens of the Ayurvedic doshas (YOUR unique mind and body type), through the seasons and how they affect our bodies. We will look at nutrition in a holistic view but also what is right for you individually.

There are so many other things we look into - the emotional body, the mental body, and how to work with both to give you access to the stillness inside of you through meditation and embodiment.

We also look at hormone health, herbology, body care and much more. While our focus is ayurveda for women, we will also discuss ayurveda for children and men.

This is not a prescription, or hard and fast rules, this is for anyone from any background. We invite you to try this out inside your own body knowing that something from 5000 years ago can serve us today as much as it did in the past. Bringing the ancient and the modern together.
