Our mission is to utilize an integrative whole-health approach to rejuvenate and heal the mind, body, and spirit through
the science of Ayurvedic Medicine.
Science of Well Being
Wellness can be defined as a dynamic process of personal growth by learning new skills and becoming aware of and making
conscious choices toward a more balanced and healthy lifestyle across seven dimensions: Social, Physical, Emotional,
Career, Intellectual, Environmental, and Spiritual.
Ayur referes to life, and veda refers to knowledge, thus is is the "knowledge of life". It is an ancient medical system
of India that dates back 3,000 years and one of the oldest healing systems in existence.
The VOW for Health self-care model is one that focuses on our innate human capacity to move towards health and well-being.
We provide workshops and coaching on self-care practices for groups and individuals.
“I strongly recommend Head and Shoulder massage by Aparna to everyone who likes massage and other alternative healing
techniques. It was a great session that covered head, neck, upper back and shoulder. Scalp massage helped me with
deep relaxation and release of tension. It was an amazing experience of rejuvenation, I will be definitely going back.”
“I’ve been Aparna Joshi’s client for about a year now. My Ayurvedic physician recommended Aparna to me for Basti and
Abyanga.
Aparna’s work has been very effective for two reasons. Aparna has several years of authentic Ayurvedic training
and clinical experience which she received in India. More importantly, her level of energetic awareness permits her
to effectively adjust treatments to the needs of her clients.
I am confident that I’ll be able to heal some
long standing chronic health issues with Aparna’s help in a couple of years.”
