Sva (self) + Stha (stability, to be established in). Svastha is the word Ayurveda uses for health. Ayurveda is an elegant life science that holds the theory and mechanisms to assist you as an individual in returning to and maintaining your own inherent constitutional balance. Holding that health is so much more than an absence of disease, Ayurveda helps us cultivate a level of wellness that allows us to show up fully in our lives: vibrantly, vitally, and energetically.

therapeutic bodywork
Ayurveda teaches the science of Tanmatra Chikitsa (subtle sense therapies). Massage is a therapy of touch, interfacing with and balancing the elements and qualities that comprise our constitutions.
Our massage therapists offer massage as a means to support your physical body, energetic body, and mental body wellness. Modalities such as Therapeutic, Deep-tissue or Swedish Massage, Acupressure, Reflexology, Myofascial Release, Energy Balancing and/or Cranio-Sacral Techniques are woven into a personalized session considering your constitution, wellness goals, and wellness challenges.
Each of our therapists walk the path of Yoga & Ayurveda, and these sciences inform their approach to life and their bodywork practices. We know youโll be supported by their intentional approach to bodywork modalities.
You can book a 60, 90, or 120 minute bodywork session, or pair massage with one of our Ayurvedic treatment techniques.

ayurvedic consultations
Ayurveda, often translated as 'The Science of Life', is an ancient system of healing from India. This holistic system looks at how the five elements manifest uniquely in each individual and treats imbalances based on your unique constitution. The result? A modality that 'sees' you as a person, and not as your symptoms or disease.
Community Care Fund
In 2021, the Ayurvedic Wellness Center started a Community Care Fund (CCF) to partially or fully cover Ayurvedic services for clients who are in financial need. The Community Care Fund allows those in our community who, at any given time, have adequate financial means to support the healing journey of someone who otherwise would not have access to these practices.
There are two ways you can contribute:
Any gratuities for Kara Aubin will be paid directly into the CCF.
You may chose to make a donation at any time. You can add this donation to your retail purchase, or donate directly.
If you would like to utlize Community Care Fund resources to support your healing journey, please email us to schedule.
The AWC thanks you for your community care!
