Ayurveda Therapy at Very Well KC

Restore, Strengthen, and Move Freely Again

Ayurveda & Body Treatments at Very Well KC are rooted in ancient healing traditions and adapted for modern, nervous-system-aware wellness. These treatments support circulation, lymphatic flow, stress regulation, and energetic balance while honoring each client’s unique body and nervous system. Whether you’re seeking grounding, tissue fluidity, pain relief, or deep rest, this body-centered work meets you where you are with calm, clarity, and presence.

Ayurveda & Body Treatments We Offer

Through intentional touch and Ayurvedic understanding, the following body treatments support holistic wellbeing:

  • Abhyanga: Warm, rhythmic, nourishing oil massage that soothes the nervous system, enhances lymphatic flow, and deeply relaxes muscle and fascia.

  • Shirodhara: A gentle stream of warm herbal oil poured across the forehead to calm the mind, regulate the nervous system, and melt stress.

  • Marma Point Balancing: Focused work on energy junctions (marma points) to release tension patterns, support deeper breath, and restore circulation.

  • Facial Marma Rituals: Subtle, soothing work around the head and face to release sinus tension, support clarity, and relieve head/neck discomfort.

  • Marma Therapy: Like acupressure meets Reiki, this gentle treatment works on subtle energy points to clear emotional and energetic blockages and restore flow.

  • Churna Pinda Swedana: This stimulating treatment uses warm herbal poultices to increase circulation, loosen stagnation, and promote detoxification—great for sore muscles or Kapha imbalances.

  • Nasya + Ear Oiling (Karna Purana): Gentle administration of warm oils into the nasal passages and ears to clear sinuses, calm the mind, and support sensory clarity.

Each session is customized based on your presentation, needs, and Ayurvedic guidance.

Ayurveda & Body Treatments are ideal for people who want to:

  • Reduce stress, anxiety, and tension patterns

  • Improve lymphatic and circulatory fluidity

  • Support rest, sleep, and nervous system ease

What Is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda means “the science of life,” and it’s all about balance—balancing your body’s elements (called doshas), your digestion (agni), your energy, and your connection to the world around you. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, Ayurveda honors your unique constitution, or prakriti, and supports long-term wellness through touch, ritual, herbs, food, movement, and deep rest.

What Makes Our Ayurveda & Body Treatments Different

Our approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with integrative bodywork — focusing not just on muscles, but on systemic ease and nervous system regulation:

  • Tailored to your constitution (dosha) and nervous system state

  • Gentle but effective — firm where needed, restorative where wanted

  • Lymphatic, circulatory, and tension-release focus

  • Supports detoxification, breathing ease, and deeper relaxation

  • Grounded in calming, rhythmic touch, not force

This is hands-on care that invites the body to soften — physically and neurally.

Who Is Ayurveda Good For:

Ayurveda is supportive for anyone experiencing:

  • Chronic stress or burnout

  • Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, sluggish metabolism)

  • Hormonal shifts or cycle irregularity

  • Sleep imbalances

  • Skin flare-ups

  • Emotional overwhelm or restlessness

  • Feeling ungrounded or “not quite yourself”

Whether you’re a total beginner or already Ayurveda-curious, these treatments are meant to be nourishing, non-invasive, and deeply restorative.
