Do you give
TO yourself
as much you give
OF yourself?

If I knew sooner

🀍 My body is the only place I live.

🀍 Self-care is a deliberate choice to 'Give TO myself as much as I give OF myself'.

🀍 One can’t find time; I always have to make time for what matters.

🀍 Self-care is not selfish & matters more when I am running on empty.

Why care for self?

With regular Self-care you can give others the β€˜best of you’, not what’s left of you.

Women are more likely than men to report symptoms of stress.

A self-care plan with built-in periods of recovery can help women manage everyday stress in an empowered way.

  • Psychiatrist & author Pooja Laxmin in her book Real Self Care- Powerful Practices to Nourish Yourself from the Inside Out- emphasizes that faux self-care involves trends like diet fads, juice cleanses, retreats and 600 count linen etc. Mainly it is based on instant-feel-good factor and also makes us feel at fault when they don’t work. Though these things have a place, it is not real self-care.

    Real self-care is based on concept that- β€˜Our choices become our biology’. It’s about personal growth, self acceptance, and connection to meaning. It is further linked to improved sleep, longer lifespan and lower levels of inflammation.

  • We don’t want to comment on other spa treatments but the main differences are:

    1. Ayurveda bodywork treatments are energetic, healing interventions, much more than just β€˜feel-good’ factor.

    2. A combination of specific treatments and sequence is recommonded after due initial consultation, to suit your individual needs.

    3. Specific herbs in the oils are used to reduce specific symptoms and alleviate root-causes in certain conditions.

    4. Treatments like Shirodhara are being practiced for thousands of years for better mental health, reducing negative emotions and effects (caused by stress).

    5. These treatments are not performed in isolation, but are coupled with holistic modalities like herbs, lifestyle recommendations and practices to remove root-causes than just temporarily removing symptoms.

  • Many mental health medications have side-effects like drowsiness, dullness or numb feeling.
    Herbs used in small quantities do not have such side effects.

    We use only single herbs sourced carefully from trusted suppliers and TGA approved herbal combinations, so that there are no or minimal side effects.

    The treatments in themselves are often relaxing and some may feel little tired nest day (depending upon level of toxicity in body); the tired feeling can be overcome by simple remedies like lots of warm water with some lemon/lime juice to cleanse released toxins.

    Ay Ayusha we do not ever advise to discontinue your current medications and are open to work with your GP/Specialist.

  • Only pure, natural, organic products and modalities are used as part of Self-care.

    Nothing artificial !

  • A few doctors- GPs and Specialists in the area are taking some of these treatments like Shirodhara for stress-management or Abhyanga for revival and fatigue relief.
    We highly encourage to read testimonials, Evidence and Case studies or we are always happy to answer any questions.
