Choose
Wisely - Your Health is Your Most Precious Asset.
Susan and Jeff Turner, the principles at Living
Ayurveda, established Living Ayurveda to provide
high quality, personalized, compassionate, hands-on
health care. During our education and prior to
opening Living Ayurveda we personally received
Panchakarma at a number of clinics and institutes
both here in the USA and India. While many of them
had their good points, none provided what we considered
to be complete quality care. Some offered a nurturing
environment but prescribed near identical treatment
for all clients, almost totally ignoring constitutional
differences and existing health conditions. Another
was more aggressive in treatment but was almost
a production line of processing 8-10 clients a
day. Several claimed to offer follow-up support
after Panchakarma but fell far short in actually
meeting that commitment. Others provided poor quality
food, poorly trained massage technicians and used
only generic base oils.
We have created the most personalized, individually
focused, quality Panchakarma available anywhere.
This attention to detail reflects in every aspect
of care. Providing a safe, comfortable, professional
environment for our clients allows us to help our
clients to actively participate in their health
care and also to cultivate the inner awareness
that is necessary for good health and piece of
mind.
Panchakarma is a significant investment of time,
energy and money. It is important that you make
a well informed decision when selecting your health
care provider. Below are some key points that we
suggest you consider when making your choice about
where to receive Panchakarma. You will be entrusting
your health to this person(s), please insure that
they are worthy of this trust.
Susan and Jeff Turner, both Certified Ayurvedic
Practitioners, are actively involved and administer
all your treatments. Please see their biographies for
a complete listing of education and experience.
At Living Ayurveda
you will receive a complete assessment each
day and your Panchakarma plan will be modified
and
evolve as you progress through Panchakarma.
This insures that you receive the maximum benefit
from your investment.
It
is essential that your care provider have clinical
experience. Some clinics employ Panchakarma administrators
whose only experience is in the realm of Panchakarma.
Obviously you have a life outside Panchakarma
where real life health issues arise. Be certain
that
your care provider has clinical experience so
that your Panchakarma is designed with consideration
given to your existing and previous health issues.
At times health issue do arise during Panchakarma,
be certain that your care provider is capable
of
addressing these needs also. We offer a complete
modern medical clinic in addition
to our Ayurvedic services.
Almost all institutes and clinics will tell you
that customized programs are provided. To make
an informed decision you need to learn the extent
and what specifically is provided. At Living
Ayurveda we provide the following:
Organic diet
Custom Made
Organic Oils Specific to your Constitution
and Health Concerns
Custom Nasya
Oils
Custom Formulas
Custom
Virechana
Bhaspa and Nadi Sweda with Organic Herbs
Applied Kinesiology
A large
array of treatments in addition to the
5 traditional treatments that comprise Panchakarma.
Another flaw common to most institutes and clinics
is to work from a fixed treatment plan. At Living
Ayurveda an individual treatment plan with aggressively
appropriate managed protocols is created specifically
for you. This plan incorporates your specific health
concerns, your goals and special attention is given
your unique constitution. This plan is created
after an in-depth interview and health assessment.
The plan is a joint effort with your active participation
to insure your needs and concerns are addressed,
that we all have a common understanding of your
current health profile, and that you are comfortable
and completely understand both the intent and expected
outcome of the specific treatments that you will
receive.
Considerable cleansing momentum is created during
Panchakarma and continues for several weeks. Follow-up
consultations are absolutely essential to insure
that you stay on-track to maximize your Panchakarma
benefits. You should also receive an on-going health
plan at the completion of Panchakarma. This should
cover dietary choices, herbs, exercise and include
the day-to-day choices that comprise your daily
routine and lifestyle. Questions almost always
arise after you return home. Determine if follow-up
care is provided and who will provide that care.
We hear from many of our clients that have received
Panchakarma from other clinics that service falls
short in this area, both in the quality of care
and accessibility.
We will follow-up with you on a regular basis
to monitor your progress making recommendations
and changes in your plan as needed. Seasonal influences,
travel, and any of life's challenges can attempt
to interrupt our health. Follow-ups keep you moving
forward and healthy. We have been personally involved
with ever aspect of your care and treatment, we
have a solid understanding of your concerns and
can be very specific in our recommendations.
Please give careful consideration to these areas.
Your health is your most precious asset. Choose
wisely.
