Meet Melinda
Welcome to the world of Ayurveda, I am Melinda an Ayurvedic Nutrition and Lifestyle Consultant, Ayurvedic Therapist and Tibetan Sound Massage Therapist.
I've discovered Ayurveda in 2017 while studying to become a counsellor. I had developed food intolerances (gluten and lactose) and my mind was foggy and frustrated I did not feel like myself at all. While I was looking for a solution came across Ayurvedic treatments and booked my first consultation. The gentle approach of Ayurveda healing through food, lifestyle and herbs not only changed my health but also made me leave counselling behind for this ancient science. I’ve decided to study Ayurveda at The Ayurveda Institute in London.
I’m passionate about Ayurveda as it is treating the whole person and not just the disease, it deeply cares about the delicate balance of the mind, body and spirit. We are all unique and in Ayurveda you will not find one solution fits all.
Throughout the consultations we find out about imbalances and bring balance back to body, mind and spirit.

We are all different that’s a fact, but have you ever wondered why? How can some people be hyperactive and change their mind all the time, while others are peaceful and prefer stillness? Why are some so interested in food and others can forget about eating even when they are hungry? Why are there so many different shapes and sizes? Ayurveda has the answer for those questions, it explains nicely how every human on this planet can be so different. In Ayurveda every organic and non-organic matter is made up of the five elements air, ether, fire, water and earth. These elements are the building blocks of life. We are all born with different proportions of these elements in our body and mind (depends on the father and mother’s constitution, if they had any imbalances at conception, the time of year conception took place etc.). The manifestation of the elements are the doshas, Vata (air + ether), pitta (fire + water) and kapha (earth + water). Many people have one main dosha, some have two dominant doshas and few have all 3 in similar proportions.
After the harsh winter our digestive tract needs a bit more looking after. An easy kitchari cleanse could help eas your digestive issues. Here is the way I like it!
There are many different types of massages and all of them are beneficial in a way or another. You wonder why is Ayurvedic massage so special? Read on! Ayurvedic massage is part of the Ayurvedic healing system (there is a post about what Ayurveda is). It is a 1.5-2 hour whole-body massage, which is performed with warm herbs infused oils. Using the special massage strokes and the herbal infused oils we encourage the body cells to remove the toxins and absorb the medicated oils. The warm oil touching the skin is one of life's greatest pleasure and knowing it nourishes our skin and other organs in our beautiful body makes it more desirable. You might think 2 hours is way too long for a massage, but trust me on this one, once you are on the massage table you don't feel the time, there is only timeless calmness and when the 2 hours finished you wish it could have lasted longer. Regular massage with oils gives the skin a glow and makes it feel smooth, it also prevents the development of many skin disorders such as eczema, blisters, scabies and seborrhea. During the massage an electrochemical balance is created in the body. The body's immune system becomes strong and toxins are eliminated, longevity is naturally increased.
Ancient holistic healing practice from India. It treats the whole person and cares about the delicate balance between the soul, body and mind.
