ancient insights, modern clarity, lasting change
Holistic Health & Wellness
Holistic health is rooted in the ancient systems of Yoga and Ayurveda—sister sciences that guide us toward balance in body, mind, and emotions.
Ayurveda, the "science of life," is one of the oldest health systems in the world. It uses the principles of nature to promote long-lasting health, prevent disease, and support daily wellbeing with diet, routine, and bodywork.
Yoga is more than physical postures—it’s a path of inner alignment. Yoga means “union,” and it offers practical tools to quiet the mind, reduce stress, and reconnect with your inner peace.
At Heart Lotus Health, we integrate ancient wisdom with holistic health services—consultation, coaching, and bodywork—to support your modern life. This whole-person approach creates space for building sustainable habits, cultivating emotional clarity, and fostering meaningful change. Each offering meets you where you are, gently guiding you toward balance and deeper self-connection.
Together, these practices create a bridge between timeless wisdom and everyday life—helping you live with greater awareness, vitality, and connection.

About Ayurveda
Living in Harmony with Nature through Ayurveda and Yoga
In Ayurveda, health is not just the absence of disease—it's a state of vibrant balance, rooted in harmony with the rhythms of nature. When we align our diet and lifestyle with the changing seasons and embrace the foundational principles of Ayurvedic living, we create the conditions for true wellbeing. As balance is restored, symptoms and discomfort begin to fade, making space for vitality, clarity, and inner joy to naturally arise.
Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems, dating back over 5,000 years. It shares a deep and inseparable connection with Yoga—together offering timeless guidance to help us live in balance, prevent disease, and nurture long-term health. “Ayu” means life, and “Veda” means knowledge—so Ayurveda is, quite literally, the science of life.
At the heart of Ayurveda is the understanding that each individual is unique. Our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual makeup is shaped by a distinct balance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—each governing different functions in the body and mind.
Vata governs movement and the flow of everything in the body, and intelligence of bodily functions.
Pitta oversees transformation, digestion, and metabolism.
Kapha provides structure, stability, and lubrication.
These doshas are in turn composed of the five elements of nature—space, air, fire, water, and earth—and further divided into 15 sub-doshas that regulate specific bodily systems and functions.
My Ayurveda and Yoga offerings are rooted in this deep wisdom. I pay close attention to the seasons, your unique constitution, and your current imbalances—focusing on tailored approaches through food, herbs and spices, teas, lifestyle rituals, and energy practices. Emphasis is also placed on prana—the subtle life force—and identifying blockages in both the physical and subtle energy channels through which food, breath, and awareness travel.
This work is not about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s a gentle, intuitive process that reconnects you to the intelligence of your body and the rhythms of nature—empowering you to live with balance, vitality, and joy from the inside out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Help?
How does knowing my Dosha help me with my health?
The Ayurvedic doshas: vata, pitta, kapha are a gateway to deeply valuing one’s health. We all have vata, pitta, kapha qualities, with varying degrees of each. By knowing the doshas and their energetic qualities you can acquire a deeper insight on the cause and effect principle of food, environment and behaviour on your health. For example, when you go to bed late, or skip a meal, your vata and pitta energy goes high. With these repeated behaviours, high pitta can manifest symptoms like feeling overly emotional, quick to react or anger; high pitta can also lead to acid stomach or skin problems. High vata can disturb circulation and can lead to increased anxiety, dizziness, headaches or blood pressure issues. By curbing imbalances, we protect our body from developing more serious health problems later on. Disease does not happen overnight. Ayurveda recognizes various stages of disease starting with accumulation, which lead to imbalances. Imbalances left unattended can further develop and manifest as chronic conditions or disease.
How does something as old as Ayurveda help me today?
Though the principles of Ayurveda go back thousands of years, they are still relevant today. The knowledge of Ayurveda is timeless, understood by ancient rishis who were in deep meditation, abiding by the laws of nature and eternal truths. They developed principles on how to live and sustain a healthy life, by living in harmony with nature. For example, these “ancient doctors” we can call them understood that most diseases can be traced back to poor digestion. They also knew that raw, uncooked grains, legumes, vegetables, when eaten raw is difficult to digest therefore need to be cooked. With modern science we know these substances are phytates, lectins, and oxalates which can create digestive and other potential health problems. Even though these ancient sages could not understand this on a microscopic level, they understood these facts nonetheless and were aligned with health-promoting ways of living.
What is the significance of yoga, beyond the postures?
There is more to Yoga than postures. Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word yuj, which means to yoke, or unite. Yoga can mean different things to people, yet it is very practical. There is known to be six paths to Yoga: Hatha, Raja, Karma, Bhakti, Gyana and Tantra - all leading to self realization.
Yoga existed long, long ago at a time when knowledge was orally passed down, before the time of Patanjali. Maharishi Patanjali, known as the “father of yoga”,organized the knowledge of yoga. Yoga comes from the word yuj which means union. The study of Yoga, as written in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali outlines the methods and the practices to liberate the mind from distractions, creating a path to uniting with your loving, peaceful self— your true nature. So we can think of Yoga as a very useful manual on how to feel whole, united with our inner peace.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali or EightLimbs of Yoga contains 195 aphorisms of how to purify the mind, providing details to an eight-limb path (ashtanga yoga) of self-actualization and inner peace (samadhi). There has been a growing number of research on the physical and mental health benefits of physical postures in Yoga (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), and mindfulness and meditation. Maharishi Patanjali lived around the 2 BC and his sutras are commonly cited all over the world to this day.
Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga
1. Ethical morals- Yama
2. Self-discipline- Niyama
3. Postures- Asana
4. Control of the breath- Pranayama
5. Drawing in the senses- Pratyahara
6. Concentration- Dharana
7. Contemplation and meditation- Dhyana
8. Union with self- Samhadi
