In Ayurveda, Ela (Cardamom) is known as the “Queen of Spices” for its sweet, aromatic and healing qualities. Light and sattvic in nature, it balances Kapha by clearing heaviness and mucus, and soothes Vata by easing digestive discomfort. Its cooling energy can also help to pacify excess Pitta, making it a truly tridoshic spice.

Benefits of Cardamom in Ayurveda:
• Stimulates Agni (digestive fire) without aggravating Pitta
• Reduces bloating, gas and sluggish digestion
• Freshens the breath and removes ama (toxins) from the mouth
• Supports clarity of mind and uplifts the senses
• Helps regulate prana, easing stress and restoring calm

How to use Cardamom:
• Add to warm milk or chai for a soothing digestive tonic
• Sprinkle in baked goods for a sweet, aromatic touch
• Brew as a tea with ginger and cinnamon to balance Kapha
• Mix a pinch into rice or lentils to lighten heaviness

Cardamom is more than a spice, it’s a gentle healer for body, mind and spirit.

The Vida Ayurveda cleanse programs are our most popular programs for a reason, and it's because the transformations are profound, and, it's almost time for our annual Spring Cleanse.

In Ayurveda, seasonal transitions are the perfect time to reset—body, mind and spirit. A cleanse helps you move beyond simply “detoxing” and into deeper layers of renewal: mental clarity, emotional balance and spiritual awareness.

If you’ve been feeling:
– Stressed or anxious
– Low in motivation or vitality
– Exhausted or overwhelmed
– Experiencing skin irritations, bloating, or sluggish digestion
– Brain fog or heaviness

…this is your opportunity to restore balance and reconnect with your natural rhythm.

These cleanses are our most loved program because they deliver profound results, time and time again.

The Spring Cleanse starts October 11th for 10 days.
Early bird: 20% OFF sign-ups until September 11th.

Over the years, Ayurveda has been more than a practice for me, it has been a gentle yet powerful guide back to myself. I’ve witnessed how the smallest shifts, rooted in these ancient tools, can create the most profound transformations. When I began living in rhythm with nature, honouring my body’s needs, and embracing the wisdom of daily rituals, my energy, clarity, and inner calm completely shifted.

This is the heart of VIDA Ayurveda — bringing these timeless practices into everyday life so that you too can feel balanced, connected, and whole.

If you want to experience the magic for yourself, reach out and let's find the best path for you.

In Ayurveda, seasonal transitions are powerful times to reset and realign. As we move from the heaviness of winter into the lightness of spring, our bodies often need a little extra support to shed the old and welcome the new.

The shift between seasons is a reminder of how deeply connected we are to nature. With a few intentional practices, you can align with this rhythm and feel more vibrant as spring unfolds.

Which of these will you bring into your routine this week?

One of the greatest joys of my work is witnessing the transformations that unfold when people open themselves to the wisdom of Ayurveda.

I’ve seen clients move from exhaustion to vitality, from overwhelm to calm, from feeling disconnected in their bodies to feeling deeply at home within themselves. These are not quick fixes, but lasting shifts that ripple into every part of life.

At VIDA Ayurveda, we trust in these ancient tools because we’ve seen them work — time and time again. They meet you where you are and guide you back to balance.

Life lately has been a mix of beauty, chaos, healing, family time, and the lessons that come with it all. From deeply nourishing body treatments in the clinic, to slow, soul-filling moments in nature, this season has reminded me again why I walk this path of Ayurveda: to support you in your healing, balance, and vitality.

In my latest blog, I share more about this journey, including a look into one of the therapies I’ve been offering most often this winter — Nasya. This gentle yet powerful Ayurvedic practice clears the sinuses, calms the mind, and restores balance to the nervous system. It’s one of my favourite seasonal supports, and I explain why in the post.

I’d love for you to take a moment to dive in, and perhaps even feel inspired to explore a little Ayurveda in your own week.

With love,
Mariana 🌿

Did you know that chronic back pain could be a sign of imbalance in your body’s energies? At VIDA Ayurveda, our Kati Basti treatment uses the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to bring you relief that lasts. Warm, medicated herbal oils are gently pooled in a dough dam on your lower back, targeting pain, inflammation, and tension while nourishing your body at a cellular level.

This deeply relaxing therapy is customised to your unique needs, helping to ease conditions like sciatica, muscle spasms, or general stiffness. It’s more than just a treatment, it’s a moment of self-care that rejuvenates your body and soul.

Kati Basti is one of the most nurturing ways to release pain and restore balance and we still have spaces in August. Visit vidaayurveda.com.au to book your Kati Basti session and enjoy 10% off when you join our email list.

These are the words we hear again and again — because at VIDA, it’s not just about the treatment — it’s about the space you’re held in, and the care that’s woven through every part of the experience.

Come and feel it for yourself.

At VIDA Ayurveda, we feel deeply honoured to live, work, and offer healing on Bunjalung land, cared for by the Arakwal people for thousands of years.

This land holds a deep, ancient wisdom – one that we feel every day in the air, the ocean, the earth beneath our feet. It reminds us to move gently, to listen, and to honour the natural rhythms of life – the very essence of Ayurveda.

We acknowledge the Arakwal people as the Traditional Custodians of this beautiful place, and we pay our deepest respects to their Elders past and present.

It is a privilege to share this land, to offer care and healing here, and to walk in reverence with those who have always known its sacredness.

Always was, always will be.

I see you, pushing through the fog.
Dragging your feet when your body’s asking for rest.
Trying to eat well but still feeling heavy, tired, disconnected.

Winter can be especially hard on the body and mind—slowing things down, stirring old emotions, throwing digestion out of balance.

Ayurveda meets you exactly where you are.
Through a personalised consultation, we gently uncover what your body is trying to say and begin to bring you back into harmony—seasonally, emotionally, physically.

This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s the beginning of real, lasting support.
You don’t have to do it alone.

If this speaks to you, I am here to invite you to book in.

Come home to yourself.

Feeling stiff, dry or heavy this winter?

Ayurveda recommends a nourishing daily ritual called Abhyanga — warm oil self-massage.

It calms the nervous system, supports circulation, and deeply hydrates the skin — especially important during the cold, slow-moving Kapha season.

Try warming sesame or medicated herbal oil, or ask me what oil will be best for you. Then try massaging it in long strokes towards the heart before a warm shower. Your body will thank you!

It’s not just self-care. It’s self-connection, and I am here to guide you to connecting to the balanced and vibrant self you have been missing.
