The Buddha's Medicine

Integrative Ayurvedic medicine focused on accessible, holistic, and individualized care.

Our aim is to bring the Eastern and Western healing arts together in simple, accessible ways. We seek to help prevent imbalance and illness in those who are well, and to support those who feel imbalanced or ill in their recovery. We offer these services as part of a complete healthy living framework as we strive towards this goal:

1) Ayurvedic consultation and treatment

Including the use of organic medicinal herbs in custom formulations, lifestyle and food as medicine, and manual pressure point therapy

2) Thai bodywork

Promoting optimal body clarity and function with gentle pressure, guided stretching, and deep relaxation

3) Yoga

Both the philosophy and practice, using healing meditations, exercises for body and breath, and approaches to self-reflection

A foundation and ongoing training in western medicine sets the stage, helping to fluidly bring the above three modalities into the context of living in today’s world.

True healing isn’t about masking symptoms or chasing quick fixes.

It’s about patience, awareness, and the courage to look deeper—beyond surface patterns—to uncover root causes.

When we address the “why” behind imbalance, we open the path to sustainable wellness and lasting transformation.

Ready to move beyond temporary relief and explore a more integrative approach to healing?

Let’s walk that path together.

No child should ever be crammed into a box they don’t fit in.

Ayurveda offers a compassionate framework for understanding neurodiversity — not as something to “fix,” but as natural variations of being human.

Counterstrain is a hands-on osteopathic technique that helps release tension and spasm in muscles, fascia, nerves—even organs.

It works through gentle positional releases and tissue glides, targeting the exact areas and systems involved in your symptoms.

I’ve used Counterstrain to help people with:

• Chronic joint & knee injuries
• Scar tissue from surgery or injury
• Migraines & headaches
• Whiplash & concussions
• Constipation & digestive issues
• Pain from Ehlers-Danlos & connective tissue disorders

One patient even avoided surgery for appendicitis with antibiotics—then used Counterstrain to clear lingering inflammation.

It’s subtle work with powerful results.

Curious if Counterstrain could help you? Book a session to find out.
