What Happens in An Ayurvedic Health Coach Session?
Ayurvedic Health Coaching is a great compliment to any other method of healing you are doing. It is not just health coaching, but it also goes beyond, as Ayurveda combines physiology, psychology and spirituality. Ayurveda operates on simple yet profound principles that empower individuals to take charge of their health and well-being. As you step into an Ayurvedic health coach session, you are embraced by the notion that the seeds of healing lie within you. Ayurveda believes that our body possesses the innate ability to heal itself through the inner systems of digestion, metabolism, hormones, and immunity.
The Role of Ayurvedic Health Coach
Your Ayurvedic health coach serves as a guide, steering you towards aligning with the natural rhythms and elements that promote optimal health. The focus is on understanding your unique constitution, known as Prakrti, along with key elements such as Agni (digestive fire) and Ama (toxins). By identifying your Prakrti, the session paves the way to tailor lifestyle modifications and dietary choices that harmonize with your individual needs.

Foundations
Rachelle’s journey with Ayurveda began as if nature itself had drawn her in. Growing up in North Vancouver, seemed to bestow the magical reality that nature in this part of the world teaches: how our connection to it is significant. Ayurveda is not just a method; it’s a natural process that resonates with those ready to embrace its powerful teachings, and is available to everyone, and is not limited by what geographical area one lives. Rachelle felt destined for this path, realizing that discovering Ayurveda can often signify the right time for transformative experiences.
Rachelle’s journey has been particularly meaningful as it centers around her healing from Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). What stands out is her approach, which combines psychology, spirituality and health. By integrating Ayurveda, one is provided with a framework rooted in ancient practices, which allows the soul to heal, while the body (the carriage) maintains a blissful health.
While Ayurveda gives us the framework rooted in ancient science, Rachelle holds space for her clients to harness their own inner abilities to heal themselves. With compassion and understanding Rachelle guides her clients to create a life full of self-love, health and wellbeing.
Digestion
Digestive issues like bloating and constipation are more than just physical discomforts; they can significantly impact our emotional health. Feelings of frustration can lead to anxiety and low moods, leaving many of us feeling trapped in a cycle of digestive distress. However, there’s hope in an ancient practice: Ayurveda. Let’s discover how Ayurveda focuses on the concept of Agni, or digestive fire, and how embracing the six tastes can support our health in a balanced way.
Doṣas
Every living being is a unique blend of energies. In Ayurveda, these energies are called doshas. Have you ever noticed why you react to stress differently than your friends? Or why certain foods give you more energy? Knowing your doshas might just provide the answers you seek. At its core, Ayurveda teaches that the universe—and everything in it—is made up of three primary doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each dosha embodies a unique mix of elements and qualities, affecting both our physical health and personality traits. This ancient practice can guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself and how you interact with the world.
DINACARYĀ
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the care our bodies and minds need. Just like a horse that requires gentle guidance, we must learn to guide ourselves. The ancient practice of Ayurveda provides a clear path to tap into our natural strengths through daily routines that align with the rhythms of life. By embracing this practice, we can cultivate happiness and self-love.
Picture this: waking up with the sun like a horse emerging from its stables at dawn. The early morning hours are ideal for activities such as meditation or gentle yoga. By integrating these mindful practices into your routine, you not only focus your mind but also prepare your body for the day ahead.
