Susie's Spa Blog: Special Spa Training in Ayurveda

Special Spa Training in Ayurveda

I just received a follow-up email from Dr. Swati, the Indian born doctor in Ayurveda, Natural Medicine, and Yoga Therapy who I met at Parrot Cay. Dr. Swati just joined the staff at Como Shambhala and I must say she is a very impressive addition. She gave a presentation to our group, which was the most thorough explanation of Ayurveda I have ever heard. She has worked many years in Indian hospital and healing settings, and it was obvious to our entire group that she is a gifted healer (in addition to being very smart with a good sense of humor.) A private consultation with her is $150 which, after meeting her, is really a true bargain; I wish that I would have had more time to take advantage of that opportunity. But if anyone is reading this who is thinking about going to Parrot Cay….take my word for it and schedule a consultation with Dr. Swati before word gets out and she is totally booked!

Do you think clients are getting more discriminating in the products they choose for ayurvedic treatments? In other words, many products are ayurvedic based but few are true ayurvedic. Do you think this matters?; 11:49 AM
Susie said...: I think it is starting to matter a bit more although we probably still have a very long way to go before authentic Ayurveda from India is what we experience in spas. For people who are really getting into Ayurveda the products matter a great deal of course. Over time I think authenticity and scientific backup for spa services will win out. But that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy an occasional whimsical spa treatment like a chocolate wrap or a flower bath. I just think that people will be more clear about what they are experiencing and not expecting medicinal results when they aren't warranted.

For me every Shirodhara I have ever had put me to sleep - probably the relaxation of the oil dripping on my forehead. Whether the oil was the "right" oil, I have no idea. But I sure enjoyed it!; 6:37 PM

If the U S administration allows Ayurveda to enter the country through the front door, all people will prefer herbal medicines in place of chemical drugs; 7:56 AM
