Many of us struggle to find a healthy balance in our lives. Daily stressors can challenge our wellbeing. Incorporating healthy activities into your routine that serve you emotionally, physically and spiritually, might help. The mind-body-spirit connection is believed to be the cornerstone of holistic (whole person) health, which has led to a growing trend towards the use of complementary therapies to help manage our wellbeing.

One such therapy is Indian Head Massage derived from Ayurveda – an ancient holistic healing system developed in India thousands of years ago. Ayurveda focuses on the uniqueness of the individual, and aims to restore harmony to the mind, body and spirit.

Ayurvedic specialist Andrea Olivera has been applying this individualized approach to help clients achieve optimum health and wellness for over 30 years. As a prominent educator, she acts as a guide toward Ayurveda awareness and best practices in the spa and beauty industries. Known as the “mother of healing” she explains that self-knowledge creates change. “Ayurvedic philosophy is about healing the consciousness,” says Andrea. “The accumulation of undigested mental thoughts and emotions can have a negative impact on our health.” Applying Ayurvedic principles can help you understand your body type (dosha), your skin type, help you care for yourself, and achieve balance.
