Does this sound familiar?
The body speaks up long before it gives out.
Most people don’t arrive here with a diagnosis. They arrive because something has been off for months.
The mind keeps running
In the evening, at the weekend, at 3am. Thoughts that circle instead of stopping.
Tired despite sleeping
Eight hours in bed and still empty. Sleep no longer does what it used to.
Everything is braced
Neck, jaw, shoulders, stomach. The body holds what the mind will not put down.
You can’t slow down
Holidays help for two days. Then the same pattern starts again, often before the flight home.
None of this is a character flaw. These are signals — and signals can be read.
More on burnout and exhaustionMy approach
You don’t need to change your life. You need to find your balance inside the one you already have.
I do not work with methods that only make sense in some other, calmer life. You have a job, a family, a calendar. That stays.
What can change is how your body handles that load — and how much of it is still sitting in you at the end of the day.
So every course of treatment starts with listening, not with a programme. Once I understand what your week actually looks like, we can find a path you can realistically walk.

Simple practices
Two or three things that fit inside your day. Not twenty that you abandon after a week.
Concrete, not spiritual
Ayurveda is an old system. I translate it into language and steps that make sense now.
Something that lasts
Changes that survive the next difficult week, because they were built for it.
Genuinely personal
No standard protocol. Your constitution, your routine, your pace.
Treatments
Six ways in. One of them fits you.
Every treatment is adapted to your situation. If you are not sure which one is right — that is precisely what the first consultation is for.

Abhyanga
Full-body oil massage
Warm herbal oil, long unhurried strokes. The treatment where the body lets go first.

Is this for you?
This is for you if you want to …
- break the loop of stress and exhaustion
- have energy that lasts beyond the morning
- feel steadier, even when several things run at once
- find clarity instead of one more method to keep up with
And it’s not for you if you’re looking for a quick fix. Covering up symptoms isn’t what happens here.
How it works
Four steps, no surprises.
You know from the outset what will happen. That matters more than it sounds when your system is already under load.
First consultation
We take our time. You describe what is going on; I listen and ask the questions that take it further.
Ayurvedic assessment
We look together at constitution, digestion, sleep and daily rhythm. That produces a picture, not a list of symptoms.
Your treatment
You get a plan built for you: the right applications, plus a few concrete things to do at home.
Staying with it
We keep going until the new thing stops being an intention and becomes a habit.
The practical part
Everything you want to know beforehand.
