seasonal cleanses
Ayurveda Simple Cleanses
Ayurveda says, “You Are What You Digest”. These 7, 14, or 21-day cleanses focus on your digestion. They are deep and holistic detoxifications that can have a long-lasting effect on your overall health and well-being (mentally and physically). Benefits can include increased energy, mental clarity, a lighter body (less bloat), decreased allergies, less body pain, improved digestion, stronger immunity and a better relationship with food.
The cleanse begins with an individual consultation to determine your body type (Dosha questionnaire) and develop a custom eating and lifestyle plan to meet your needs.
Cleanses are offered quarterly, at the change of each season and can be taken individually, as a group or virtually.
