Ayurveda - A Road Map for Healing

Have you experienced ongoing issues like gas, bloating or acid reflux, only to have yourself or someone else dismiss them as no big deal, or recommend taking something that only covers it up. These small imbalances may start as just annoyances, but if left unaddressed, they have the potential to grow into more serious conditions with long-term health consequences.

What if there was a way to address both the smaller and larger physical imbalances right now? To pinpoint and remedy them at their source, instead of allowing them to progress into a disease or further along the disease pathway?

For more than 5,000 years, Ayurveda has done just that—providing a road map for healing that empowers the individual to reestablish health and balance in the body, instead of allowing a disease to progress to more debilitating stages.

  • I’ve been working with Caryn Challman and I cannot recommend her enough. Her knowledge of Ayurveda is both practical and intuitive. I have never received such specific instruction in Ayurveda nor such thorough explanations. - Arabella Champaq

  • After only a week, I had an appetite for the first time in 5 months! Not only that, but I was amazed at how my depression and anxiety were also miraculously lifted in the days to follow. I cannot thank Caryn enough for her help and continued guidance. My quality of life has changed significantly! - Rheam

  • Besides being extremely knowledgeable with a calm/empathetic 'bedside' manner, Caryn specializes in helping women find solutions for mind, body, gut and hormonal imbalances. - Lena Rizkallah


Sattva is the quality of goodness, purity, positivity, truth, serenity, balance, peacefulness, and virtuousness. It is said that spending time in nature increases the sattva in our being. 

Consider the feeling you might have while sitting along a tree shaded creek, surrounded by ferns, as a hummingbird hovers nearby.


Caryn pursued Ayurvedic studies at Kripalu, earning the title of Ayurvedic Health Counselor. Building on this foundation, she continued her education under the guidance of Dr. Anusha Sehgal BAMS, achieving the status of an Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner. She has also had the great fortune to study with Dr. Vasant Lad and Dr. Claudia Welsh.

Grounded in her 30 year pranayama, meditation and yoga practice, Caryn brings a well rounded approach to healing that addresses mind, body and spirit.

What to Expect at a Consultation

Current regimen

How you live your life:  We will discuss your current daily routine at length during your first session - the more details, the more clear of a picture will form of how your current state has evolved.    

Your constitution

Prakrti (your original state, or constitution):  Through our discussion, we will come to learn your personal, unique blend of doshas, or elements, and how they make you - you.      

Current imbalance

Vikruti (your current imbalance):   Whenever we stray from our original state, an imbalance may form. This can happen through simple things we do every day - that might bring health for some people - but not for others.  

Diet

Ahara (Diet): Recommendations will be provided regarding the types of foods you eat, usually something balancing is offered as a substitute for the food that is causing aggravation.      

Lifestyle

Vihara (Lifestyle):  Sometimes it isn't what we eat, or do, but instead - when and how. We'll talk about ways to improve your health through following natural cycles, and also explore new practices that can help bring balance.

Herbal support

Ausada (Herbal support): Herbs, medicated oils, teas and spices can all assist along the way, and when properly applied can quicken your journey.
