Intake Meeting
(90 minutes)
CAN YOU READ THIS TEST TEXT MAY 27, 2010!!!
This is an information-gathering session. With the help of Ayurvedic
pulse and tongue diagnosis, general physical examination and
a comprehensive question-and-answer session, we uncover the
characteristics that make up your nature, as well as any signs
of imbalance. Your body, mind and life are considered, as each
has it's role to play in your well-being. You're guaranteed
to walk away with new insight and awareness, inspired toward
balance.
Report
of Findings & Initial Recommendations (1 hour)
With the information gleaned from our Intake Meeting, we now
read over a written report outlining your Ayurvedic constitution,
your imbalances, and individualized guidelines for making choices
about diet, lifestyle, yoga, breathing, herbs, colors and aromas
to restore and promote your unique and balanced state of well-being.
We discuss a plan of action, including the best Ayurvedic treatments
for you.
Follow-up Meetings (1 hour
or 30 minutes with scheduled therapy)
Here we review your progress and assess any challenges you may
be experiencing and move forward in creating your life of balance.
Herbal formulas may be adjusted, or your therapy schedule changed
a bit to reflect your needs, as your current state indicates.
With a background in coaching women, Niika supports you in making
step-by-step lifestyle, dietary and other life changes to support
your best health. Our fifth meeting is an assessment session
measuring and celebrating how far you've come toward your personal
balance.
E-Consultations
E-Consultations (90 minute intake)
It's always preferable to see an Ayurvedic practitioner face-to-face,
but if you feel you can benefit from basic Ayurvedic guidance
and coaching, e-Consultations are available to help you move
toward greater balance and well-being.
E-Consultations are a great option if you
have worked with Niika in person, and wish to continue with
follow-up appointments by electronic means.
How do e-Consultations work?
E-Consultations take place by phone or by internet using email,
instant messaging, SKYPE or webcam.
COMMUNICATION OPTIONS
You may choose any type of communication
that suits your needs, and can shift from one type to another
anytime your needs change.
Email
You send email that's as long as you like, reporting your progress,
and asking any questions you may have. You will receive a response
email within 24 hours.
Instant Messaging
Instant Messaging makes for fast, easy exchange of information.
It's the best option when you want to have a conversation, but

consultations work well.
