Ayurvedic Consultations

I am humbled and honored to support you and glad you’re here! Ayurveda has supported my well-being since I was 25 years old and with 20+ years of experience, I am here to support you through all of life’s challenges. Healing isn’t a destination, but a journey, and here at SimpleVeda, we use the tools nature has given us to support you to be the best version of yourself and bring you to the life you were meant to live. I am committed to providing holistic health services where you will be seen and heard while offering quality, organic herbs, and products to live well. Assessment of your constitution and body-type, and the nature of your current imbalances combined with guidance to what health means to you and your health goals using specific services are the cornerstones of our work, all tailored to your needs. With your commitment, SimpleVeda will help you find the root cause of any “dis-ease” and provide you with the healing environment and guidance for your journey towards radiant health.

I work with varying degrees of patients, the young and mature. I have supported clients who simply want improved weight, digestion, sleep, and energy, and those who desire less body aches and pains, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress management, to deeper rooted manifestation of dis-eases such as tinnitus, diabetes, celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s, cancer, nephritis, liver disorders, hormone balance, endometriosis, PMS, menopause, low libido and more. The end result of committing to your health and working with me is true healing. You will  remember how to love yourself, to self-heal, learn who you are, and through this you’ll experience joy, and freedom in your life.

I look forward to our journey together.

Five Sense Therapies

As an Ayurvedic Practitioner and Yoga Teacher, I use many forms of Vedic Counseling to support your journey towards radiant health and well-being. Treatment could include spiritual practices, marma therapy, reiki energy healing, adjustments to mental and emotional attitude and thinking habits, support for personal relationships, ideal environments, sleep and exercise regimens, body cleansing practices, foods and food habits, herbs, colors, gems and other nurturing and life-enhancing practices.

The sadhana or act of eating is sacred and life-giving. Ayurveda is more than what you eat but when, how, with whom and where. Ayurveda is a way of life supporting you to love and feed yourself wholesome foods that are full of prana or energy that when you walk away from your meal you feel nourished, content, full of vitality and vigor. When was the last time you felt this way after eating? During our time together I will support where you are in life and create a nutritional plan that is simple and sustainable.

Herbalism is one of Ayurveda’s most powerful methods of treatment. Just as we use food, we use herbs with our sense of taste for healing.
Complete healing takes time, however, the alleviation of symptoms can occur much sooner with proper herbal formulas.
For Century’s the use of herbs has been powerful to heal wounds, colds, and digestive disorders. The use of herbal formulas allows the patient a quick reduction of symptoms while at the same time the practitioner supports the patient back to complete health through diet and lifestyle.

Through one-on-one chakra/reiki therapy sessions we observe our energetic charge so that we can shift cellular memories that are stuck, depleted or scattered. Sessions will educate and empower you to understand where energetic imbalances exist and healing practices are given so that we are able to connect & experience being in our body in a new way. Witnessing our thoughts/feelings together and allowing them to be acknowledged without judgment, we release the tension of our holding patterns to relax into a deeper connection to ourselves.

Essential oils have a powerful yet subtle influence that affects us emotionally, physically and spiritually. How do you feel when you walk through a flower garden? How does the smell of rain make you feel? We live in an aromatic world and like food, aromas have qualities that create harmony or can be disharmonious.
During sessions, I will support you to smell your way back to health as I educate and guide you on how to use and blend oils that are beneficial for your well-being.
We are committed to providing high-quality essential oils for our clients. We have chosen Young Living as they provide organic, environmentally sustainable oils, with a seed to seal promise that is ecologically and economically sustainable.

Pranayama is an important part of a regular sadhana practice. It reduces toxins, supports digestion and metabolism, gives mental clarity, strengthens the respiratory system, balances the female and male aspects of our nature, reduces chronic fatigue, and increases more oxygen to the body supporting overall health and wellness by reducing stress and aging. You will learn how to have a regular practice and techniques that are appropriate for your body type.

Chromotherapy is the use of color for healing, like the other five sense therapies, it is an effort to expose a person to the ideal environment. Through the eyes, the patient takes impressions from the environment into their body, mind, and consciousness. If what is taken in is harmonious with one’s nature, the natural result is health and well-being. If it is disharmonious, the result is dis-ease. Education and guidance is given to support taking in the appropriate colors based on doshic balance.

In Ayurveda, your health care is individualized and your yoga practice should be no different. We offer private, group and corporate yoga instruction. Sessions include understanding postures that are appropriate for your body type and are seasonally appropriate to calm and cool the pitta dosha, ground and warm Vata and stimulate Kapha. Sessions will allow you to start or deepen your practice, helping with alignment, and include modifications for specific injuries and needs. Prenatal and postnatal private sessions are available in your home or in our office.

Meditation is a science and comes in many forms. Sessions will teach you proper posture alignment to support your comfort, daily mindfulness, and concentration techniques, affirmations, visualizations, and mantras. One-on-one iRest | Yoga Nidra sessions will support you to heal the various unresolved issues, traumas, and wounds that are present in the body and mind. You will recognize your underlying peace and feel a natural joy and enthusiasm for life.

I recently treated myself to a Shirodhara treatment with Christina. She suggested this treatment to help with me with me stress / mental tension coupled with troubled falling / staying asleep. I am very grateful for the recommendation as this was a wonderful treatment option for me in my ongoing Ayurveda treatments. The continual warm oils cascading over my forehead coupled with a short guided meditation from Christina quickly placed me in a tranquil state of utter relaxation. So many great benefits from Shirodhara and the effects are long lasting and nourishing to mind/body/spirit. I highly recommend Christina for all things Ayurveda and especially this treatment. Make sure you treat yourself to this offering as you will not be disappointed! Wish I could give this 10 stars!!!

I just wanted to share how terrific I’m feeling since starting to see Christina. Weights down some and strength up. As an almost 58-year-old former competitive athlete that still likes to lift weights, etc. I have found my strength increasing eating with the plan that she has given me. I recently did the Spring cleanse and LOVED it. Feeling great energy as well as a release of many toxins. I would suggest more men, in particular, discover SimpleVeda and let Christina guide the process.

SimpleVeda and my work with Christina have changed my life!! I am healthier and happier than I’ve ever been. Although I’ve known about Ayurveda for many years, read books, sporadically adopted some of the practices, not until I worked with Christina through Simple Veda have I been able to totally embrace this philosophy of mind, body, and spiritual health. Christina is a wonderful teacher and gifted practitioner of Ayurveda health. I am eternally grateful for her guidance, acceptance, and inspiration.

I love everything about Simpleveda and Christina. The moment that I step into her office I feel like I’ve entered a portal from the crazy digital frenzied world we live in into a spiritual healing paradise. I’ve known Christina for a long time and she is a true healer with the ability to heal body, mind, and spirit. She is completely nonjudgemental and I felt I could tell her anything. I always wanted to eat healthily and take good care of myself but did not know how to get started. Sometimes the mind has to heal before the body or vice versa and shes creative about how to go about it. Christina helped me understand my body’s type and eat according to it. She also taught me how to incorporate spirituality into my daily life with yoga, meditation. She has cooking workshops and they are truly inspiring. Above all, I LOVE her abhyanga oil and use it regularly.

I highly recommend Christina and Simpleveda for anyone who wants to transform their life into one that’s calmer, more peaceful, and more connected to self.

Christina has changed my life, literally. She is amazing. I initially went to see her in order to learn how I could balance out my hormones naturally. I quickly learned that Ayurveda could benefit so many other areas of my life as well. I really had a bad relationship with food due to doing several food allergy tests and always jumping on some trend like the whole30. Thanks to Christina she has taught me what my Dosha is and how to eat according to my dosha and it has been helped me in so many ways … not only do I feel better physically but also it had been so liberating to not have so many restrictions on what I thought I could and couldn’t eat. In the last 9 months, she has also helped me manifest so many of my goals into reality. I literally see her every week and she helps me in all areas of my life, emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Her cooking services have also been extremely supportive for someone like me who is always on the go. Her recipes are simple and delicious. SimpleVeda really does make living an Ayurveda life simple 🙏

I came across Christina on my quest for Ayurveda, more like a blessing in Dallas, ever since I moved here for good from India. She’s a very graceful Ayurvedic therapist, a healer, a dietician & a Yoga instructor and has a lot more to offer for our wellbeing. I have been very fortunate to be a regular visitor at her Simple Veda studio, right at the center of Dallas over the past few years. The Simple Veda renders a vintage classic appeal, filled with a lot of positive aura in the midst of the bustling city. Each visit has been very special for me, as she is very hospitable & dedicates her time to take good care of my health, and always makes me feel at home & insist upon maintaining a balanced diet. I truly admire her for all her invaluable knowledge of the ancient science of Ayurveda & Yoga and also helping me learn the tradition in its most authentic way. I could also see my health vitality & exuberance improve and perfectly on track since last year, with the support of the natural herbs & Satvik food habits recommended by her. I have also experienced several of her Holistic Healing, Yoga Nidra, and Abhyanga & Chakra Meditation alongside my Ayurvedic consultations & they’ve all been complementing each other really well. It’s very rewarding and rest assured, to feel quite positive in my heart that I am in her safe hands always. She has also inspired & encouraged me in many ways on my Spiritual pursuits & in turn contributed towards my overall development of body, mind, and soul. I will remain ever grateful to Christina for all valuable support & wish her all the very best on this wonderful service to mankind.

Finding Christina was truly kismet! Originally, I was referred to Christina’s practice through a friend and ultimately fell in love with Ayurveda as traditional medicine only seemed to treat my symptoms while Ayurveda treats the whole of a person – the mind, body, and spirit. Through Christina and Ayurveda, I have made simple lifestyle changes that have drastically improved my overall health and wellbeing. To say, meeting Christina and learning about an Ayurvedic lifestyle has been a lifesaver is a complete understatement! I am so grateful to have Christina in my life, guiding me through a healthy lifestyle and helping me to make healthy choices.

I had a basic knowledge of Ayurveda before I met Christina. I had issues with indigestion and was looking for a knowledgeable person who can understand and provide the right guidance to me. After my initial consultation with Christina, I knew I had come to the right place. She is knowledgeable and was always excited to share ayurvedic knowledge. The good thing about her is that she feels the responsibility towards her clients and always wants them to be healthy and would do her best to provide the details. For me, she had bundled the package so well that without taking a pill I could see the difference. She would say, “food is medicine” and over a course of time, I could see that happening. I am listening to my body and I am thankful to her that today I am able to understand the importance of living healthy with small changes in life which I still do.

When I first came to see Christina I had just begun studying Ayurveda myself and was still inexperienced in the practices. Christina was very helpful. In the 8 months or so that I met with her, she gave me personalized changes one small step at a time. I believe this is the reason that the practices stuck and truly became “lifestyle changes” instead of fads or overwhelming goals. In those 8 months I began sleeping better, I cut out my heavy workout routine for a more sattvic routine and lost 35 pounds without “dieting”. I also found an inner peace that led to more energy, a healthier relationship, marriage, and a baby, and my daily schedule became much less strenuous. My overall health improved and I feel like a new woman.

I am eternally grateful to Christina for her generosity, encouragement, and love.

It was just about a year ago when I decided that I wanted to learn more about Ayurveda and commit myself to live an Ayurvedic lifestyle. I had been practicing yoga for 14 years and Christina was one of my teachers at the Bikram Yoga Studio in Elk Grove.

I clearly remember having a casual conversation with Christina about my health and how fed up I had become with so many aspects of the western approach to medicine. I told Christina that I wanted to be healthy, to live a more balanced life, to lose weight, and eventually become pregnant and have a happy, healthy baby and that I wanted her help.

Christina agreed to teach me the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda and about six months ago our consultations began. I met with Christina every week to discuss the who, what, when, where, why, and how of my eating habits and gradually learned to implement the guidelines for healthy eating.

As a school teacher, I am constantly under a lot of stress and, prior to practicing Ayurveda, I was sick all of the time, each month with something new. The past six months of my life have been very stressful and full of changes, but I have not felt this well since I started teaching seven years ago. I normally experience severe allergies and get every little bug that travels through the bodies of my first-grade classroom, but this year…nothing. I even lost 15 pounds!

Just before I started to see Christina I had been told by a doctor that I needed to go back on birth control pills to treat my Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and that I would need to go to an infertility clinic if I ever wanted to become pregnant. That doctor couldn’t have been more wrong! With the help of Ayurvedic practices and herbs, my cycle became regular and now I’m expecting my own little bundle of joy in the winter!

Christina has been able to help me channel the power I have within my self to take control of my life, connect with the divinity that surrounds me, and be truly at peace with where I am, right here, right now.

I am so grateful to have had Christina’s help and support on this journey into divine health through Ayurveda. I couldn’t have done it without her! If you are committed to yourself and creating health and healing that is physical, mental, and spiritual, I wholeheartedly recommend learning more about Ayurveda with Christina!

I came to Christina with various physical and emotional ailments. I’ve always considered myself in good physical shape. I’ve tried to eat healthily and exercise regularly. My Bikram Yoga practice is at least 3 to 4 times a week. I had decided to go completely vegetarian and noticed my energy level was not what it used to be. I was tired often. I was also experiencing listlessness and anxiety on a regular basis.

I decided to give Ayurveda a try. I consulted with Christina and met with her regularly once a week. She suggested various dietary and lifestyle changes based on my Doshic balance. She encouraged me to implement these practices slowly but steadily. The changes in me seemed slow at first, but I’ve always been the impatient type. My emotional mood was the slowest to change. I noticed physical improvements within two weeks. I wasn’t as tired and my energy was more on an even keel. While before I tended to run around madly doing everything and then completely breakdown for a couple of days, I noticed I had constant sustained energy – I was working and relaxing on a more regular basis. My husband and children were pointing out that I didn’t have those “frazzled” days anymore.

As my physical changes happened, my emotional mood improved. I became more even-keeled on an emotional level as well. Before, I would have emotionally and mentally “foggy” days, where I would feel like I was just struggling to get through the day. I attributed this to PMS – but soon noticed that they were happening almost every day of the month!

After my practice of Ayurveda became more consistent, I noticed I had fewer of these “foggy” days. My mind was alert and my emotions stayed more balanced – things that would normally upset me or tend to uproot my day became just blips that could be smoothed out.

I feel more in charge of my life now. Consultations with Christina and the Ayurvedic knowledge has empowered me to understand when I feel “dis-ease” in my body. I know how to modify my diet and soothe myself through meditation and other techniques to come back to balance. Ayurveda to me is a practice just like Bikram Yoga. I might have great days and some bumpy days. But if I return to my practice and focus on it, I can smooth out the bumps and continue to be healthy and in charge for the rest of my life.

I love Christina’s style – she has been a consistent counselor, friend, and guide in my learning of Ayurveda. She empowers me to understand my own ailments and how to fix them through the practice of Ayurveda. I am very blessed to have her in my life. My knowledge of Ayurveda has continued to grow and I continue to practice it every day. I realize that I know myself inside and out more now through my regular practice. I watch my body and mind slowly change and respond to my practice and it is incredibly rewarding to have this experience!

The knowledge that Christina has bestowed upon me has been great. I truly view food and how and when I eat in a completely different way. I have learned to identify an imbalance and am armed to make the choices to bring me back into balance. I have seen an increase in focus, a decrease in bloating, and more efficient digestion. A big bonus has been exposure to wonderful new food and recipes. I am excited to continue on my ayurvedic path and continue to learn more and more with every consultation!

When I first started this Ayurvedic lifestyle, I was a frantic, monkey-minded person. I didn’t feel safe and felt angst about everything from my workday to worldly events…and, most of the things causing me angst, I didn’t even have control over…that is except to keep my mind spinning worrying about them.

Along with a monkey brain, my digestion was sporadic and uncomfortable. Initially, at the beginning of this practice, I had to eat grounding, heavy foods to bring me back down to earth. That fact, at first, was a disappointment as I gained some weight, which we all know is hard to shed—even with the help of hot Bikram Yoga!

I’ve been practicing an Ayurvedic lifestyle for almost a year now. While all my excess weight is not yet shed, I feel progress every week as evidenced in slightly looser clothes. More importantly, I feel safe, secure, grounded, and less frantic and anxious.

I’ve gotten deeper into the practice with daily rituals for cleansing and nourishing the body as well as with meditation, positive affirmations, and quieting my mind.

I’ve learned to garner patience and, more importantly, love for myself. I truly have come to believe that I and my body are not defective and that I am perfect because I am part of the Divine, and it is a part of me. Who knows how many more diets I would have tried, how much more sleep I would have lost, how much more uncomfortable I would have been had I kept on the course in which I was headed. While I still have some personal issues I am working on, I know that utilizing this age-old wisdom has led me towards the salvation of love for Self, compassion for others, and quiet gratitude that I have never felt in my life before this point…not to mention I get to eat ghee! GEE!

My exposure to Ayurveda began nearly 10 years ago when I did a little cursory research and an online survey to determine ‘my type.’ I intuitively recognized the merit of a system which focused on the needs of the individual, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach; however, using only books, the internet and people slightly more versed in the subject as myself as guides, it was a bit overwhelming and difficult to know if I was even doing the right thing.

Enter the Ayurvedic practitioner! When my friend Christina offered to take me on as a client two years ago, I jumped at the chance. Even with some knowledge of the subject, I really had no idea what I was in for, the extent of the information and practices I would learn, or how far-reaching its effects would be on my life and choices. Prior to our sessions, it was my habit to take on lifestyle and diet changes in an extreme, all-or-nothing manner, which usually proved unsustainable over time. The Ayurvedic approach is much different, and Christina not only helped me identify my true ‘constitution’ — the online test proved wrong! — but how to slowly and sustainably integrate positive changes into all areas of my life.

Since I began my Ayurvedic journey, the biggest benefits I’ve noticed range from the physical — better digestion, more energy and better sleep; to the mental — calmer mind, clearer thoughts, and fewer emotional swings; to the intangible — greater awareness of the uniqueness of individuals, the interconnectedness of all things, and the effects of my choices and the forces of nature on my state of being. It is truly a comprehensive system that with the guidance of an experienced practitioner can bring balance to all areas of life. This isn’t to say that everything in my life is now perfectly balanced! But I do have a solid framework from which to recognize and work on the areas that aren’t.

I had no idea what Ayurveda was but I was ready for a radical change in my life and in my health. My massage therapist recommended I work with Christina at SimpleVeda.

When I started this process I was ready to surrender to anyone and anything that could help me. Western medicine had never helped me and I would never agree to take medication for what I was certain was going to be a life-threatening chronic illness if I didn’t address it immediately. I had been sick to my stomach every day of my life. I was sleeping 12 hours every night and taking 2-3 hour naps during the day. My thoughts were muddled and unclear. I was horribly depressed. I could not hike anymore- my heart and knees couldn’t take it. I was at the highest weight I had ever carried. I tried Jenny Craig and Weight Watcher without success. I can be a very disciplined person but I could not get my weight under control and I could not figure out why. I even spent almost $1,000 on a gym membership at a hospital which included work with a nutritionist and I still could not get anywhere. It was a complete waste of money.

I felt like an undisciplined, complaining lazy failure when it turned out that I simply needed an approach that was tailor-made for my body. And that’s what I got with Ayurveda. Finally! Someone who listened to my complaints and believed me. Finally! Someone who had more than one solution to my problem. Finally! Someone who wasn’t going to give up on me and judge me as ‘less than’ if I followed her every instruction and still came up short.
After a little more than seven months I lost 35 pounds, began running and started a new job. My thinking was more clear and I had energy without being ‘overly’ energized.

For me, Ayurveda has been a life-saver and an enigma. It has saved and challenged me. I have done it perfectly and I have done it horribly. I have had both great success and a sad failure with it. Regardless, I always learn more about my body, my needs, my life, and my Self. Ayurveda changes WITH me. Ayurveda always challenges me. And, Ayurveda always shows me that life is more than what is going on today or what I did in the past or what I hope to do in the future. Ayurveda is about peace and self-care at the moment.

I look forward to seeing Christina. I always gain wisdom and encouragement from our time together. I know that she is thinking of me between our sessions and I gain comfort from that.

I think from the outside I still may appear to be a hot mess (LOL!) but, on the inside, I am a completely different person. More awake. More aware. More alive.

I had been sick to my stomach every day of my life. I was sleeping 12 hours every night and taking 2-3 hour naps during the day. My thoughts were muddled and unclear. I was horribly depressed. I could not hike anymore- my heart and knees couldn’t take it. I was at the highest weight I had ever carried. I tried Jenny Craig and Weight Watcher without success. I can be a very disciplined person but I could not get my weight under control and I could not figure out why. I even spent almost $1,000 on a gym membership at a hospital which included work with a nutritionist and I still could not get anywhere. It was a complete waste of money.

I felt like an undisciplined, complaining lazy failure when it turned out that I simply needed an approach that was tailor-made for my body. And that’s what I got with Ayurveda. Finally! Someone who listened to my complaints and believed me. Finally! Someone who had more than one solution to my problem. Finally! Someone who wasn’t going to give up on me and judge me as ‘less than’ if I followed her every instruction and still came up short.
After a little more than seven months I lost 35 pounds, began running and started a new job. My thinking was more clear and I had energy without being ‘overly’ energized.

For me, Ayurveda has been a life-saver and an enigma. It has saved and challenged me. I have done it perfectly and I have done it horribly. I have had both great success and a sad failure with it. Regardless, I always learn more about my body, my needs, my life, and my Self. Ayurveda changes WITH me. Ayurveda always challenges me. And, Ayurveda always shows me that life is more than what is going on today or what I did in the past or what I hope to do in the future. Ayurveda is about peace and self-care at the moment.

I look forward to seeing Christina. I always gain wisdom and encouragement from our time together. I know that she is thinking of me between our sessions and I gain comfort from that.

I think from the outside I still may appear to be a hot mess (LOL!) but, on the inside, I am a completely different person. More awake. More aware. More alive.

I can’t recommend Christina and SimpleVeda enough. I started seeing Christina in late 2020 and she helped me tremendously with stress management, weight loss, allergies, TTC, and overall health and wellness. She truly changed my life! When I became pregnant a year later, I worked with her on prenatal health and she became my birth and postpartum doula. I was so grateful for her guidance throughout the entire process. She was such a help through the birth and advocated for me and guided me through difficult decisions. Because of all that she did for me as a postpartum doula, my recovery went much smoother than my doctor led me to expect and in talking to other new moms.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Christina since 2021. We started working on nutrition and weight loss – ultimately my relationship with food. Along the way I’ve indulged in her amazing treatments which always calm my nervous system and help with a fresh outlook. In the course of our work, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. Christina’s loving patience helped me find a way to completely correct my labs and condition – and I never took a prescription medicine. It’s been an empowering experience to feel so well! Thank you!
