🌿 Join the Ayurveda New Zealand Practitioner Team

We are looking for an experienced and professionally trained massage or bodywork therapist who feels inspired to deepen their skills and specialise in Ayurvedic treatments and Panchakarma therapies.

This is an opportunity to receive specialised training in our Ayurvedic treatment protocols and, once fully trained and confident in these therapies, join our trusted practitioner team on an independent contractor basis, providing treatments to clients at our Grey Lynn clinic.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Professionally trained and experienced in massage or bodywork
• Warm, caring and confident working with clients
• Genuinely interested in Ayurveda and holistic wellbeing
• Keen to undertake further training in Ayurvedic therapies
• Reliable, professional and aligned with the values of Ayurveda New Zealand

Previous Ayurvedic experience would be wonderful, but is not essential. What is important is a strong professional foundation in therapeutic bodywork and a genuine desire to learn and specialise.

All Ayurvedic treatments at our clinic are provided according to our established protocols, with appropriate training and guidance to ensure the high standard of care our clients know and trust.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch and tell us a little about yourself, your qualifications and experience, and why Ayurveda is calling you. 🌿

✨ Panchakarma Update | Snehapana – Internal Oleation ✨

During the 2nd week of Panchakarma we have entered the Snehapana phase, where each morning begins with a carefully selected medicated ghee. 🌿🧈

Although we are going through Panchakarma together, Snehapana is highly individualised. I selected each person’s ghee according to their dosha constitution, level of Ama, state of Agni and digestive and nervous systems.

On Day 1, everyone started with 40 ml, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach:

🌿 Lisa: ½ Tikta Ghritta + ½ Brahmi Ghritta
🌿 Vivian: ½ Tikta Ghritta + ½ Triphala Ghritta
🌿 Natascha: Tikta Ghritta

Afterwards, we sip warm Ajwain tea to support digestion and then wait for the first genuine signs of hunger before eating. This gives the body time to fully digest and process the medicated ghee.

Every evening, everyone reports back to me with the time of their ghee intake, first signs of hunger and first and second meals. Based on their response, I determine the following day’s dose.

We generally increase by 20 ml each day, but if digestion takes longer or the body shows signs it needs more time, we maintain or reduce the dose. Panchakarma is about observing and responding to the individual.

According to Ayurveda, Snehapana carries the therapeutic qualities of the herbs into the Dhatus, or body tissues, while helping to loosen and mobilise accumulated Doshas and Ama towards the digestive tract in preparation for elimination.

Next, we’ll share how everyone responds as the quantities gradually increase! 🌿✨

Panchakarma Update | Purva Karma ✨

One week into our Panchakarma journey, and we’re feeling great! 🌿

Last Sunday, Lisa, Natascha, Vivian and I began with Purva Karma, the preparation phase designed to gently prepare the body and digestive system for the deeper cleansing therapies to follow.

Each morning we started with our Ayurvedic Dinacharya: tongue scraping and oil pulling, followed by Garshana, dry exfoliation with a silk mitten, and a nourishing self Abhyanga massage using our individual dosha specific oils before showering.

Afterwards, we each took a digestive aid according to our Prakriti and current state of Agni 🔥

🌿 Lisa & Vivian: Triphala for Vishama Agni and their Vata constitution
🌿 Me: Avipattikara for Tikshna Agni and my Pitta constitution
🌿 Natascha: Trikatu for Manda Agni and her Kapha constitution

Food has been such an enjoyable part of the journey too! We’ve had lots of fun preparing simple, nourishing Ayurvedic meals together: warm spiced porridge for breakfast, traditional Kitchari for lunch and delicious soups made with seasonal vegetables for dinner. 🥣

During this phase we also removed coffee, alcohol and refined sugar, slowed down our schedules and kept exercise gentle, giving our bodies the space to turn their energy inward.

After completing Purva Karma, everyone was feeling really well and ready for the next stage.

We have now entered Snehapana, the internal oleation phase, where we begin taking gradually increasing amounts of medicated ghee to prepare the body for the deeper cleansing stage of Panchakarma. 🧈🌿

We’ll share more about our Snehapana experience and how we’re progressing over the coming days.

Panchakarma is not simply a cleanse. It is a carefully sequenced Ayurvedic process of preparation, purification and rejuvenation. ✨

✨ An Invitation to Begin ✨

Over the past two weeks, I’ve shared my journey to Bali and why Somatic Healing has become such a beautiful complement to the work we already do at Ayurveda New Zealand.

If you’ve been following along and something has quietly resonated with you...

Perhaps this is your invitation.

Next Wednesday, Lisa from Lisa Hamilton-Gibbs | 🐝 and I will be guiding our next Breathwork for Trauma Release & Manifestation group session at SOMM.

Over two gentle hours, we’ll guide you through Qigong, breathwork and somatic practices in a safe and supportive space, allowing your body to soften, reconnect and simply be.

No previous experience is needed.

You don’t need to have all the answers.

You simply need an open mind and a willingness to begin.

If this feels like the right time for you, we’d love to welcome you.

SOMM, School of Modern Meditation
Wednesday 19th August
6pm to 8pm

The more we heal ourselves, the more light we become for others. 💛

✨ Healing Begins With Us

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting others through Ayurveda.

Earlier this year, I realised that while I was encouraging others to prioritise their wellbeing, I hadn’t created enough space for my own healing.

Then my beautiful friend Lisa Lisa Hamilton-Gibbs | 🐝 introduced me to a trauma release training in Bali with Edwin Tan .

Something inside me simply said, I have to go.

The truth is, I wasn’t looking for trauma. I didn’t think I had any.

But during the training, I released emotions and patterns I didn’t realise my body had been carrying.

The biggest transformation happened after I came home.

I felt lighter. Calmer. More present.

My relationships softened. I reacted less. I listened more.

It reminded me that when we heal ourselves, the healing ripples into every relationship around us.

That experience inspired me to integrate Trauma Release with Ayurveda and bring this beautiful work to Ayurveda New Zealand.

I’ll be sharing more of this journey over the coming weeks.

The more we heal ourselves, the more light we become for others. 💛

Each of us carries a unique blend of the three Ayurvedic doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. ✨

When doshas are in balance, we feel vibrant, steady, and well. When they fall out of balance, we might notice fatigue, irritability, or sluggishness.

Gentle shifts in food, lifestyle, and daily rituals can help restore harmony — but the first step is understanding your own constitution. ✨

For personalised guidance, Sarita offers Ayurvedic consultations to help you discover your dosha, explore imbalances, and design a plan for balance in daily life.

Consultations can be booked via our website or the link in our bio. ✨
