A personalized dosha massage experience
The process begins with an online consultation, where an Ayurvedic health coach assesses your constitution. During this session, you learn about your doshic makeup, including Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, and their respective elemental energies.
The therapies offered usually combine full-body and head massages. These techniques, rooted deeply in Ayurvedic tradition, are among the most effective ways to rejuvenate your body.

How It Works: The Initial Consultation
Once your dosha is determined, your Ayurvedic health coach creates a customized massage plan. The choice of oils is crucial in this process. Each oil is selected based on its qualities and how they correspond to your dosha.
- Vata predominant individuals benefit from warming oils and herbs which can provide warmth and grounding.
- Pitta types may opt for cooling oils and herbs to soothe and relax.
- Kapha predominant individuals might find energizing oils and herbs to be helpful for stimulating circulation.
These tailored approaches help optimize each massage session, ensuring you experience maximum benefits from the therapy designed for you.
Ayurvedic Body Oils
Oils have played a vital role in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. They nourish and heal, offering both physical and emotional benefits. What’s fascinating is that these oils are particularly effective because they can penetrate deep into the body’s tissues. They deliver herbal benefits straight to where your body needs them most, including the key areas like the marrow tissue and beyond the blood-brain barrier.
Creating Ayurvedic oils is an art that involves multiple solvent extractions, a process that carefully draws out the beneficial properties of herbs. At Shade Ayurvedic Wellness, we honor these ancient techniques by crafting our dosha-specific body oils. Our formulations are rich with intention, taking into account the natural balance of the doshas and tailoring blends to meet specific needs. For example, our Vata body oil includes grounding herbs like ashwagandha and brahmi, known to calm and stabilize energy.
"let your bodyworker cleanse the water in the body"
In the vast tapestry of emotions that color our lives, water is often a silent yet powerful conduit. Just as water ebbs and flows, so do our emotions, carrying with them the weight of our experiences and internal struggles. Ayurveda, the ancient science of holistic healing, has long recognized the intimate connection between water and emotion, and the need to release toxic emotions for true balance and healing to occur.
At Shade Ayurvedic Wellness, we understand the profound impact that emotions can have on our well-being. Like a river that must be allowed to flow freely, toxic emotions need to be released from our bodies to prevent stagnation and imbalance. This is where the ancient art of bodywork comes into play—a sacred practice recognized by Ayurveda as essential for bringing harmony to the mind, body, and spirit.
Testimonial
Hear What Our Clients Are Saying
Rachelle is a very talented and skilled masseuse. I felt so relaxed and at ease during my session with her. Previous to the session, I had a long week of work and was very sore and tired from a physically demanding job and I had severe back pain due to a herniated disk in my lower back and a pulled muscle in my upper back which were restricting my movement and disturbing my sleep. The day after the session the low back pain (which has been chronic) disappeared, and two days later the pulled muscle eased up significantly and I was able to move more freely. It is so wonderful to have a massage in my own home because I dont have to travel and I was able to get straight into the bath afterwards and continue with the deep relaxation I experienced during the massage rather than go back out into the busy world and deal with traffic. After that I had a long nap and woke up feeling refreshed and energized. The ayurvedic oils Rachelle makes are so calming, relaxing and grounding and smell heavenly. The hair oil she uses for the head massage actually made my hair feel so silky and soft afterwards which was surprising because my hair felt brittle and dry previously. I highly recommend Rachelle’s ayurvedic massage for anyone with stress, fatigue, tight muscles, chronic pain or anyone looking to find more ease, balance and energy in their body and mind.
I had the experience with Rachelle coming to help my husband while he was having intense pain on his feet and legs. After her treatment he was very relaxed and have much less pain which means less suffering. Beside that she is very calm and give a very good experience of calmness to the patient and family I would recommend her to all of you who needs a good massage therapist.
I received a massage at Shade Ayurvedic Wellness with Rachelle, and I was absolutely delighted. I was seeking a service to help me relax & rejuvenate and that’s exactly what I got. The service I received felt therapeutic, healing & transformative. Rachelle was able to move a lot of stuck energy. She checked in to make sure the pressure was right & everything was feeling good. I loved how long the service was & how I felt afterwards. I highly recommend her services!”
