Panchakarma ~ Luxurious Ayurvedic cleansing for total purification, revitalization and rejuvenation.
More details...



If you are yearning for deep physical healing and transformation, then Panchakarma is the most beautiful path for rapid change. Your Panchakarma takes place in a quiet rural Santa Fe setting with your treatments administered by highly experienced staff.

The Human Design System is a magnificent tool for relaxing into one's behaviors, quirks and tendencies, and to learn how best to utilize the energy and information that is specifically encoded in each of us.

The Work of Byron Katie is also an amazing technology that puts us on the fast track back to inner peace.

Ayurveda, the ‘science of life,’ is India’s 5,000 year old natural system for health and longevity. Its universal principles originate in consciousness, the underlying fabric of creation, and is easily adapted to global cultures everywhere.


More than a system for treating disease, Ayurveda is a lifestyle which helps educate us about foods, herbs, exercise, the role of the mind, and the importance of cleansing and rejuvenation therapies that support our unique mental and metabolic type. Understanding our own mind-body type, or constitution, is the foundation of modern Ayurvedic care.


Once we understand our elemental nature and our unique genetic design, we can consciously create health and harmony in body, mind, and spirit. Being in the flow of nature’s cycles and rhythms helps us progress towards greater physical balance, immunity, and agelessness while the mind and senses become increasingly permeated with peace and harmony.



You are invited to experience, through the timeless wisdom of the ancients, the positive health, revitaization and radiant beauty that lies within your being.
