Ayurveda bodywork treatments on Vancouver Island
Optimize the health of your body, mind and emotions - your most precious assets and the foundation for a vibrant life experience - with Ayurveda bodywork. Treatments are offered in-studio in Nanoose. Treatment options are many and I will help you choose the right treatment for you. Overall, treatments focus on calming the nervous system, harmonizing the mind, enhancing the function of your body organs and systems, restoring proper sleep rhythms and body function, improving the quality of the body tissues, and engaging your body's innate healing capacity.
Marma Therapy
Marma therapy uses energetic points called marmas to balance and heal the mind, organs, and body systems, including the all-important nervous system. Its basis is that we are energetic beings in a body and free-flowing prana (life-force) is what fuels our holistic health and vibrant living.
Marma therapy involves gently holding certain points on the head, face, hands, and feet to cleanse energetic pollutants in the system and restore flow and balanced function to your whole being.
Marma therapy restores the nervous system to a place of ease, promotes mental clarity and calm, improves sleep, counteracts stress, reduces anxiety, depression and fatigue, improves the function of the senses and sensory organs, supports physical and energetic circulation, encourages proper function of the body systems (including the digestive, respiratory, and elimination systems), increases vitality, and creates a feeling of overall connectedness and well-being.
Standalone session: $115 CAD | Twice monthly: $210 CAD/mo | 5 session package: $475 CAD | 10 session package: $1000 CAD
*Upgrade to include face massage for additional $10/session
Snehan
Snehan is the Sanskrit word that means both "oil" and "love". This is a full-body high-quality oil application that deeply nourishes the skin, muscles, and joints, calms the mind and nervous system, and aids in stress reduction, improving energy levels, and balanced sleep rhythms where you wake up deeply restored. Ayurveda's very powerful treatment for calming vata dosha and increasing youthfulness and agility in the body and mind, delaying and in some cases even reversing the aging process.
Standalone session: $150 CAD | Twice monthly: $260 CAD/mo

Vedic astrology birth chart readings
Jyotisha, known more commonly as Vedic astrology, is a way to understand the deep currents of karma that we brought into this life with us, that reflect in ebbs and flows of our life experience. It provides insight into who we are, why we are how we are, and the unfolding of our karmas throughout our life. I offer sessions for clients who know their exact birth time. In your session you'll learn your fundamental makeup as mapped out by the stars and planets at your birth, increase your understanding of yourself and how you operate in your life, and have clarity on life experiences, situations, or areas of life that have (or are) troubling, confusing, or challenging you.
60-minute session: $200 CAD

client experience
Ready to take the next step to uplift your life?
“Kelsey's approach to Ayurveda is truly impressive. She is a wonderful role model and my inspiration to living a joyful and healthy life. I first met Kelsey years ago when I wanted to study Ayurveda. She couldn't have been more kind and thoughtful. She is incredibly intuitive to understanding where I was and where I needed to be. Her approach is to gently guide me to the answers I need and never makes me feel that I’m not on the right path to becoming an Ayurveda Health Counselor. She continues to be a powerful influence in my studies. Incorporating the daily Ayurvedic practices has also really worked well for me. I love her to pieces!”
Diana Gordon, Ohio | Studying to be an Ayurveda Health Counselor
"Kelsey has a very deep knowledge base and spreads her wisdom readily, all the while keeping things down-to-earth and light-hearted. She is professional and yet very personable at the same time. Kelsey has a bubbly personality and one can't help but feel glad and uplifted after a chat with her! My reading with Kelsey has allowed me to feel more comfortable with who I am, now that I understand that there are greater forces in play than just my own willpower, desires, or shortcomings. I gained acceptance and at the same time came out with new vigour, inspiration, and confidence to start making changes that will lead me closer to my purpose."
Erin Magnusson, Sweden | Vedic Astrology client
“My biggest transformation so far is interrupting the patterns of negative self-talk. With Kelsey's guidance - she is brilliant in how she knows what is the next right asana pose or pranayama or guided meditation - I am steadily moving towards where I want to be. She has used her experience and training to assist me to overcome my fears of wanting to protect my knees and to strengthen the muscles around the knees to get me more comfortable in my body. With Kelsey's assistance I have a schedule and I'm sticking to it and I feel so much calmer and present for the rest of my day.”
Penny Polayes, California | Ayurveda and Yoga client
