This planning and preparation is performed with
our full knowing that you are a unique individual
and that your body will respond uniquely as you
progress through Panchakarma. As your body responds
and treatment goals are achieved, it may become
evident that we need to revise the plan or even
create a completely new plan. This is truly individualized
care. No other clinic or institute provides this
level of concern and personal attention.
Susan
and Jeff Turner, the principles at Living Ayurveda,
oversee and are personally involved with
every aspect of your Panchkarma. Both Susan
and Jeff are Certified Ayurvedic Practitioners
with extensive
training and experience in both Ayurvedic
and traditional medicine. At least one of us,
and often both of
us, will administer your treatments. Having
a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner hands-on
involved with all
aspects of your care is at the top of a
list of distinctions that separates Living
Ayurveda from all other clinics and institutes.
At
other clinics, an Ayurvedic Practitioner or
Panchakarma Administrator will see you for
a brief office visit only after you arrive
to receive Panchakarma.
This visit really should occur weeks, and ideally
months, before treatment begins to prepare
your body to receive Panchakarma. We have had
a number
of clients that had previously received Panchakarma
at other clinics report that they actually
received 2 days of treatment
before
being evaluated.
These
clinics use a fixed plan which is almost identical
for every client and is followed for the duration
of Panchakarma. You then see the Ayurvedic
Practitioner or Panchakarma Administrator after
Panchakarma
is complete. Please understand that this is
not ineffective or poor care, but it is not
optimal care. Their universal treatment
approach provides some level of benefit to
most people.
These
clinics have valid reasons for providing care
in this manner. Qualified well trained Ayurvedic
Practitioners are a rarity, at present there
are
probably less than 25 trained
and qualified Panchakarma
Practitioners in the USA. It is also expensive
employing
an Ayurvedic Practitioner to provide the actual
treatments. Instead they use massage technicians.
While these technicians are trained in the
mechanics
of the
techniques, none of them have the diagnostic
discernment to understand or perceive treatment
progression.
Bodies change, sometimes dramatically, during
Panchakarma. Once a treatment has accomplished
it intended purpose, it is time to move on to the
next aspect of treatment, which is unique for each
person. The only way to monitor progress, and the
only way to insure that maximum benefit is obtained,
is to have an Ayurvedic Practitioner in the treatment
room at all times. Living Ayurveda is the only
clinic that provides this level of service.
Providing this level of care does limit the number
of clients that we can see at any one time. And
yes, practicing in this way is a tremendous amount
of work. We and our staff are pleasantly tired
an the completion of a Panchakarma day. We have
seen the dramatic difference that our quality of
care provides. We have a
growing list of repeat, satisfied customers.
Panchakarma
is an incredible gift to give yourself or a
loved one. All the therapies are nurturing
and feel absolutely wonderful. Panchakarma
is intended to be a time when you stop the
routine of daily
life and take time for yourself. It is a moment
to unwind and release long held toxins, worries
and memories. This is an opportunity for you
to create optimal good health in all areas
of your
life. A time to reflect on life and determine
if the life you are living is truly good for
you,
and if it is not, a time to change your direction
to one more positive.

Our
Clinic
The true mark of a good Practitioner is knowing
which plan of treatment is the most appropriate
for a particular client. We recognized early
on that no one Practitioner can fully address
every possible health situation. And there
is a broad spectrum of healing modalities from
which
to choose. To better address the need for
quality healthcare, we have joined
with a group of independent, like-minded, holistic
healthcare Practitioners
each with their own specialties and area
of expertise.
