Event Description

Come learn about India’s ancient mind-body medical system known as Ayurveda! Ayurveda is a holistic wellness system that teaches individuals how to optimize their overall physical/mental/spiritual health by balancing themselves with the influences of the daily and seasonal cycles. Ayurvedic treatment involves energetic healing, massage, sense cleansing, herbal therapy, and food as medicine. At this workshop, you will receive Ayurvedic constitutional analysis by Michelle, who is a Certified Ayurvedic Wellness Coach.

We will also discuss the basic principles of Ayurvedic wellness so that when you leave, you will be prepared to begin balancing your life according to your personal elemental makeup!

Cost is $35. Participants will be given take-home organic massage oils made by Michelle

Michelle Dexter, CAWC (Certified Ayurvedic Wellness Coach)
I am a Certified Ayurvedic Wellness Coach through Yama Therapeutics in Baltimore, Maryland. I currently teach Ayurveda at Yama Therapeutics in Baltimore, Maryland, and am contributing writer for an upcoming college textbook on Buddhist philosophy. Before receiving my coaching certification, I spent ten years as a theologian, specializing in Biblical translation and Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. I left academia for a short while to train with an Olympic Judo group, and was led to Ayurveda when I developed recurrent pancreatitis due to unhealthy training habits.
My pancreatic problems led me to consult several prominent doctors, who could not help me to get well or discern the cause of my illness. After being told by my doctors that they could not help me, I sought out alternative therapies and began my personal Ayurvedic practice. Since I began applying Ayurveda’s holistic health principles to my life, I have not had a pancreatic attack in almost three years!
My one-on-one whole health and wellness consultations incorporate herbal therapy, food as medicine, stress management, meditation, energetic healing, Yoga, and personal exercise programs. It is so gratifying to watch my clients as they integrate Ayurvedic principles into their lives, becoming healthier and happier people!
