Welcome
Hello, I'm Ivana.
I have spent over 12 years studying, practising and living the wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga with respected teachers, including Dr David Frawley and Yogini Shambhavi from the American Institute of Vedic Studies, Myra Lewin from Hale Pule and Dylan Smith from Vital Veda. My Ayurvedic consultations combine traditional wisdom with a holistic, personalised approach, guiding you towards greater clarity, balance, and vibrant well-being by understanding how to work with your unique constitution.
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is an ancient, holistic system of wellbeing that helps us understand the connection between the body, mind, and the natural world. Rooted in the rhythms and laws of nature, it offers a way of living that supports balance, clarity, and vitality.
The word Ayurveda comes from Sanskrit, where “ayur” means life or longevity, and “veda” means knowledge or wisdom. Together, it is often translated as “the wisdom of life.”
At its heart, Ayurveda is about balance. It recognises that each of us has a natural state of harmony, known as prakruti, where we feel steady, energised, and well in ourselves. Over time, stress, environment, and lifestyle can gently pull us away from this state, creating an imbalance known as vikruti.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, Ayurveda offers a wider way of seeing health ~ one that includes the body, the mind, and the way we live in relationship to nature. It invites us to notice how we feel, how we live, and how we respond to the world around us.
From this perspective, health is not something fixed, but something we continually return to through awareness, rhythm, and simple daily guidelines from the four pillars of health.
​
Initial Ayurvedic Consultation
RESTORE BALANCE
This comprehensive consultation lasts 75 minutes, followed by a 30-minute follow-up check-in within 4 to 8 weeks.
During our time together, we will explore your unique constitution (prakruti) and current imbalances (vikruti), the play of doshas and provide education and guidance on the Four Pillars of Health to keep you in the direction of sattva ~ the quality of balance, clarity, and harmony.
The focus is on addressing the root causes of imbalance, not just the symptoms, and helping you integrate Ayurvedic principles seamlessly into your daily life.

What to Expect from an Ayurvedic Health Consultation with me? Norwich & Online
My deepest intention with these consultations is to educate and support you in committing to yourself. Together, we will gather insights and tools that empower you to reclaim a life filled with vitality, radiance, joy, and a deeper connection to your True Self.
These sessions give you the opportunity to become your own healer, before handing your trust or power to anything outside yourself. Each consultation is thoughtfully designed to address your health and well-being goals.
Before we meet, you will complete a Wellness and Dosha Questionnaire, which allows me to understand your current state of health, where you have been, where you are now, and your potential path forward.
During our time, I will guide you in understanding your unique constitution and provide personalised recommendations for diet, daily routines, treatments, meditation, pranayama, mantras, and therapeutic yoga. This holistic approach helps create balance across all areas of your life.
​
Handouts will be provided within 48 hours to enhance your understanding and reinforce the guidance shared during the consultation.
The follow-up sessions may vary based on individual needs. ​

"There is no herb, supplement, or drug that can entirely take the place of having an appropriate daily diet, lifestyle, and stress-management routine."
I encourage you to digest the information provided and reach out for any clarifications you may have. Feel free to schedule a complimentary 10-minute call. This brief conversation will help you to understand how we may work together or facilitate the booking process. I am looking forward to supporting you on your journey towards true health.
What is true health?
Through the Ayurvedic lens, true health is more than the absence of illness. It is reflected in our attitude toward life, the clarity of the mind, and the strength of our digestive fire, known as Agni.
When Agni is balanced, we are able to digest not only food, but also experiences, thoughts, and emotions with greater ease. From this foundation, health is supported through simple, consistent daily practices that gently bring us back into balance and help us feel more at home in the body.
This includes a balanced and nourishing diet, regular movement such as yoga or other moderate exercise, and the mindful regulation of energy through practices like pranayama, meditation, and conscious awareness of the senses. In this way, wellbeing becomes something we feel into and tend to each day, rather than something we occasionally return to.
Ayurveda also reminds us that health is shaped through the way we move through life itself. Our relationships, our habits, and the natural rhythm of each day all become part of this process, offering ongoing opportunities for awareness, reflection, and gentle recalibration.
At a deeper level, true health is expressed through alignment in our thoughts, words, and actions. Living in this way supports a sense of clarity, purpose, and inner ease, and is often felt as a softening of inner tension and resistance.
Ultimately, Ayurveda views true health as the harmonious integration of body, energy, mind, and Awareness. When these layers are in balance, we experience a natural state of vitality, connection, coherence and wholeness.
