01 INTRODUCTION

From digestion to hormones and everything in between, I help clients transform their health and build true health autonomy.

My approach, rooted in traditional Ayurveda, focuses on addressing the root cause of imbalance to restore balance and create sustainable change.

Beyond Symptoms

Ayurveda is rooted in the understanding that every individual is unique — in constitution, lifestyle, environment, and the way imbalance presents. Because of this, health cannot be approached through generalised methods that assume the same solutions will work for everyone.

It is common to feel confused when health concerns persist despite doing everything that is considered “right” — eating well, exercising, and following general advice — yet the issue remains. This is often because the underlying cause has not been fully understood.

Rather than applying broad recommendations, Ayurveda looks deeper, focusing on identifying the root cause of imbalance. It considers the body as a whole — including digestion, the nervous system, daily habits, and underlying patterns — to understand what is driving the issue. By addressing the cause rather than just the symptom, this approach supports more precise, effective, and sustainable change.

Every individual is unique. One-size-fits-all health care does not work.

03 | GET TO KNOW ME

Hi, I’m Akanksha

I am Akanksha Kalra, Ayurveda consultant, Ashtanga Yoga practitioner and Teacher based in Newcastle Upon Tyne and Whitley Bay. My journey into the world of health and wellbeing began in 2011 to address the debilitating pain caused by a spinal birth defect. I feel blessed to have found solutions to my health issues in Ashtanga Yoga and Ayurveda. Today, I live a healthy, pain free life without any modern interventions. Having experienced the depth and effectiveness of Yoga and Ayurveda in alleviating dis-ease, my work is now dedicated to sharing and supporting others through these powerful, life-changing practices.

PURNAM, a concept within Hindu philosophy, is where I draw my inspiration from. It is the understanding that everything is whole, complete, and nothing is missing. It points to a deeper truth that what may feel incomplete or broken is still part of a greater wholeness. As is the body, so is the universe. Everything arises from this universal wholeness, and everything remains whole. Nothing is lacking in the world, and not within.

A grounded reminder that fulfilment is not something to chase, but something to recognise, and that healing begins with a shift in perspective that, at the deepest level, nothing is truly lacking or broken.

“Health is not something to build from scratch, but something to return to.”

Success Stories

  • LAIMA MERTENA

    Ayurveda has changed my life, and I feel so lucky to have met Akanksha. I had been dealing with lower back pain, sciatica, and joint pain for years, and it was starting to affect my daily life. After 6 months, my back has improved so much and most days I wake up pain-free. My hip and knee pain have completely gone.

    I’ve learned so much about my body through this process and would highly recommend Akanksha to anyone.

  • NICOLA COOPER

    After feeling let down by my GP and struggling with GERD and a range of related symptoms, I decided to seek a more holistic approach. Akanksha made me feel at ease straight away and helped me understand what was really going on in my body. Everything she explained made sense.

    Following her advice, I am now symptom-free and have a healthy 6-week-old baby boy. I’m so grateful I found her.

  • DAWN METCALFE

    I went to see Akanksha as I was suffering with abdominal pain, bloating and constipation. I had a few consultations and a full health assessment. I had an extensive plan which included dietary changes, lifestyle and supplements. She explained everything well and was always available for any queries. I'm now 6 months down the line and I've never felt better.

    My symptoms have improved dramatically and I am incorporating the changes moving forward. I highly recommend her, what a difference she has made.

  • TAMSIN CRIMMENS

    Akanksha has helped me heal my digestive and skin issues by getting to the root cause. I've gained so much knowledge about my health that will serve me for life. Following her advice has completely cleared up the Eczema on my face and body, helped me have stronger digestion, and restored my health in the postpartum period.

    I highly recommend her services to anyone experiencing health issues who want a holistic solution that doesn't just treat the symptoms.

  • SHEILA WHITMORE

    Before my Ayurveda sessions, I had been struggling with Diverticulitis, severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and a Hiatus Hernia, which caused acid reflux, abdominal pain, and unpredictable flare-ups. It got to the point where I felt nervous about going out. Nothing prescribed by my GP helped long-term, so I decided to try Ayurveda with Akanksha. Through her guidance, I began to understand what worked for my body and what didn’t.

    I’m now symptom-free and I’m so grateful for the support and the difference it has made.

  • MARET MITCHELL

    I approached Akanksha with a specific goal to better manage my autoimmune condition (Hashimoto’s). With Akanksha’s guidance and herbal medications, I have reversed the main issues I was experiencing; fatigue, slow weight gain, and low mood. I have learned what foods are beneficial to my body type and what foods trigger my condition. Akanksha has given me the confidence to take control of my health from within.

    I will be eternally grateful to her for her support and guidance in making positive changes to benefit, not only my health condition but my wellbeing in general. Thank you.

FAQs

  • During your consultation, your Ayurvedic practitioner will make a holistic assessment of your health including past and present health issues, your Ayurvedic constitution, your state of imbalance, diet, lifestyle, work, relationships, mental and emotional well-being. Traditional techniques such as pulse and tongue diagnosis will be used as well as modern methods of pulse and BP to draw a diagnosis of your health and pinpoint any problem areas. A personalised Ayurvedic treatment plan consisting of Ayurvedic herbs, nutrition changes, lifestyle changes, Ayurvedic treatments and counselling will be designed specifically for your imbalance and health issues. Through regular follow-ups, your Ayurvedic Practitioner will guide and support you enabling you to alleviate your symptoms and regain good health.

  • Yes – Ayurvedic supplements are 100% natural and made from medicinal herbs. Care must be taken on how to take them as even herbal supplements when taken unnecessarily or incorrectly can have side-effects. You should take them under the guidance of a qualified practitioner regarding the dose and time and method of taking herbs. Ayurvedic supplements should always be bought from a reputable supplier who maintains a high standard of quality control.

  • The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises Ayurveda as an effective system of medicine. 

  • No. Vegetarianism is not a requirement to practice Ayurveda. In fact, Ayurveda teaches how to use meat as medicine e.g. in the case of severe debility and malnutrition, meat soups are prescribed to build the strength of the body.

    Being vegetarian is the personal choice of the individual. A Vegetarian diet does however have many health benefits. Vegetarians usually have lower cholesterol levels and higher intake of Antioxidants in diet. This decreases the risk of heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.

  • Ayurveda and Yoga are sister sciences. They are complementary practices. Both practices being are born from the Vedic philosophy and are systems of wellness that aim to cultivate higher states of health and ultimately awareness. They both aim to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Yoga focuses more on the mind and physiology aspects, whilst Ayurveda focuses more on physical health and pharmacology.

  • If you don't have any symptoms but are curious about using Ayurveda as a preventative medicine and way of living, then you can absolutely do that too! Understanding yourself on a deeper level, knowing how to prevent any future illnesses that may run in the family by making changes now is the best way to start. Ayurveda believes prevention is better than cure.
