AYURVEDIC CONSULTATION

Modern medicine is invaluable for emergencies and acute conditions, but chronic health concerns often require a deeper, more holistic approach that looks beyond symptom management. In my experience, an increasing number of people are becoming frustrated with approaches that focus solely on symptom management and are instead seeking more lasting, holistic support.

Ayurveda offers a unique perspective. By considering physical, mental, emotional, social, and environmental health, Ayurveda aims to identify and address the root cause of imbalance rather than simply suppress symptoms. The body is viewed as an intelligent and interconnected system with a natural capacity for healing when given the right support.

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

Your initial consultation is a detailed assessment of your current health concerns, medical history, diet, lifestyle, stress, sleep, exercise, and any medications or supplements currently being taken. Information shared in your pre-consultation form will also be reviewed to better understand how daily habits and routines may be contributing to imbalance.

Your unique mind-body constitution (Prakruti) will be assessed alongside a discussion of symptoms to identify underlying imbalances (Vikruti) and aggravated doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — using traditional Ayurvedic methods such as pulse, tongue, and nail examination.

A strong focus is placed on digestive health, as Ayurveda views the gut as central to healing. Guidance may include reducing toxic accumulation (Ama), strengthening digestive fire (Agni), balancing doshas, calming the nervous system, and improving energy and overall wellbeing.

PERSONALISED PROGRAM

All of this information is brought together to create a personalised and practical treatment plan designed to support your health goals and address underlying imbalances. Recommendations may include tailored dietary and lifestyle guidance, herbal supplements, and therapeutic Ayurvedic treatments suited to your constitution and health needs.

You will receive clear action points and supportive guidance that can be integrated gradually and realistically into daily life. The guidance provided is intended to support progress over the following 4-6 weeks and beyond, while also helping to establish sustainable habits and rituals that can support long-term wellbeing.

Follow-up sessions are recommended every 4 weeks to monitor progress and further tailor the diet and lifestyle programme. Further advice is given on treatments, herbs, diet and lifestyle changes.

Ayurvedic Healing Framework

Your personalised plan will feature a combination of time-tested Ayurvedic tools that restore balance in the body and the mind. Each tool is individually powerful — they are even more impactful when applied together.

  • AAHARA

    FOOD AS MEDICINE


    Food is considered medicine in Ayurveda, and how you eat is just as important as what you eat. Consistent dietary changes can have a meaningful impact on long-term wellbeing. Your personalised plan is tailored to your unique needs to support digestion, reduce toxins, and balance your doshas.

  • AUSHADHI

    AYURVEDIC HERBS

    Ayurvedic herbs are selected based on an individual’s constitution and current imbalances. Your personalised plan may included herb to support digestion, reduce toxic buildup, nervous system regulation, immunity, energy, and tissue repair. When used appropriately, herbal support can become a valuable part of long-term wellbeing.

  • DINACHARYA

    LIFESTYLE PRACTICES

    Ayurvedic Lifestyle practices focus on establishing a consistent rhythm of morning, daytime, and evening self-care rituals designed to regulate your body clock, and align your physical and mental health with nature's cycles. Daily routines and rituals calm the nervous system, regulate energy, and deepen your connection to Self.

  • CHIKITSA

    AYURVEDIC THERAPIES

    Ayurvedic therapies are used to help loosen and mobilise accumulated toxins (ama) that may contribute to imbalance and disease. They support the body by pacifying aggravated doshas, cleansing the channels of accumulated ama, and rejuvenating the body.

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 would definitely 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.
