"I am incredibly blessed to have found Sheila on this path towards healing, which by design with her is all about becoming fully embodied as the person one is meant to be. I came to Sheila with skin and digestive issues, and after our first meeting I knew I wanted to work towards a Panchakarma in the Spring. During our consultation, I felt so deeply heard and simultaneously received a clearly articulated explanation of what was going on with me-- the intersection of my physical, emotional, spiritual bodies were considered with great care throughout our candid conversation.
Sheila was supportive, accessible, and deeply knowledgeable leading up to the detox and now one week later after completing the treatments, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and can't imagine doing this journey without her expertise and compassion. We didn't rush into the Panchakarma-- Sheila made sure that I was eating correctly according to my unique constitution and setting an intentional path leading up to the detox. Drinking the triphala herbs, I am balance tonic, and applying the homemade herbal oils in the morning helped so much with my digestive issues and also implemented a profound ritual into my daily routine. Her guidance connected me to the essence of Ayurveda and I felt comfortable asking her to point me in the right direction as far as educating myself about the history these ancient teachings... this process deepened the treatments once I got on the table to work with Sheila during the Panchakarma.
During the Purvakarma, this week brought up a lot of new sensations and Sheila was quick to respond when I texted her with questions. As I showed up to her studio on the first day of treatments, I was overcome with excitement and perhaps some nerves since it was my first PK, and Sheila led me through the treatments with deep reverence for the medicine, this journey, and my intentions for this incredible practice of renewal and growth.
Throughout the Panchakarma, Sheila was loving, intuitive, attentive, and in service to the Divine. I especially connected with the guided meditations during the treatments, and I loved the fluid, lucid moments of bliss that arose in moments of massage and Shirodhara. I experienced sensations of expansion, self awareness, and ecstatic creativity during and after the treatments.
Sheila is a wonderful soul and I can't imagine doing my first PK with anyone other than her. I am feeling so much more awake when I get up in the morning (without the help of caffeine!!! what?!) I'm so happy that I decided to invest in doing a Panchakarma.. the knowledge, growth, and healing that I've gain through this experience are of immeasurable value.
Thank you for your dedication, care, and above all your beautiful heart, Sheila!" - Casey W.
"I just had the most amazing ayurvedic massage ever! I'm so impressed! While I was in India this year I had many Shirodhara treatments but I have to say that nothing compares to this one. It was a 90' massage. I got transported into a different galaxy. I feel words don't convey what I just experience. Sheila is so knowledgeable, powerful and kind and sensitive....I feel blessed to have found her through the yelp community. She'll also custom made a prenatal oil and tea for my which i'm so grateful for. Her space is just fantastic. Spotless and sacred.
Keep the amazing practice Sheila! Thank you for what I experienced today! " ~ Eva A.

"I recently had an ayurveda treatment with Sheila and it was amazing! I am always looking for alternative eastern methods and I found a profound one with Sheila. Sheila performed the Abhyanga/Shirodara treatment which was the most relaxing, healing experience. First, I have to mention how welcoming her home/treatment area is. I felt completely comfortable in her space and in her presence. She has created a space of love and happiness.
Once I was lying on her table, she began rubbing my body with warm oil (which if you have never experienced, I highly recommend you do). She told me that this was to relax my body in preparation for the Shirodara. Well, let me tell you it was more relaxing than any massage I have ever had. Once she had completed with my body (front and back), then she covered me in a warm blanket and prepared me for the next step. I definitely was in and out of it during this time. But the process included warm oil being continuously poured over your forehead (never into the eyes or rest of the face). It was the most unbelievable experience. It literally forced my subconscious to retreat into silence. I have never felt such peace and tranquility. After the Shirodara was complete, Sheila allowed me to stay in Savasana for as long as I liked. Then she prepared a private shower for me. She never rushed me during any of this. Afterwards, we chatted for a good while, and it became clear to me what a wonderful person inside and out Sheila really is. She brings nothing but love and positivity to each session and I welcome anyone to try this experience with her.
I would HIGHLY recommend Sheila's treatments to anyone looking for relaxation and healing. There is a reason this ancient practice has not changed in thousands of years. You will leave her treatment feeling like a new person. I know I did." ~ Samantha H.

"Sheila is a gift to us! Her understanding of traditional abhyanga and ayurvedic approaches to health and healing are in depth and comprehensive, coupled with an incredible warm, sincerely caring and generous demeanor - she is a healer. I am 40 weeks pregnant and started seeing Sheila in my third trimester. The attention and care she gave me at such an important transition, physically and emotionally, has had wonderful effects on my body, spirit and overall health throughout the end of my pregnancy. It has helped my body prepare for birth as well as soothed my muscles and organs. I had never experienced an ayurvedic massage and was blown away at how powerful it is. The environment she has created is meditative, comfortable and incredibly soothing. She really took in to consideration where certain tensions existed as well as the stage of my pregnancy and what she could offer to assist in helping me to experience a holistic, natural and smooth birthing. I have felt so nurtured by her care and so grateful for her guidance, support and healing practice. This woman is a gem!! She has got skills and a seriously experienced, knowledgeable and AUTHENTIC understanding of this ancient healing art! Highly recommend!!!" ~ Jessica V.
