"Bhavna has a calming nature and it was a pleasure to spend some time with her in the kitchen. She is generous with her knowledge and willing to answer all of my questions. She is down to earth and a well-spring of knowledge. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in learning more about themselves through Ayurveda." Best, Melissa
Meeting Bhavna ~ An Ayurvedic Practitioner
I have so much to tell about this Ayurvedic journey. But one thing I just can’t hold back anymore is Bhavna! Bhavna is an Ayurvedic Practitioner and I’ve been working with her over the last few weeks. She’s now on her way to the Northern California area and I will miss her. She’s so kind, super smart and generous with her knowledge. I took a great Ayurvedic Cooking class with her and completed a consultation. The consultation was fascinating. She looked at my nails, tongue and read my pulse.
It took about 10 minutes for her to fully read my pulse. She even found things that I had forgotten to mention. We had already completed a dosha questionnaire. It turns out that I’m more tridoshic, K3, V2, P2. My body is most like kapha so this is the diet she told me to follow. She suggested that I avoid gluten and some other foods that I LOVE. So, I’ve been working on it. It’s easier to go gluten-free these days. There are so many resources and products. It will be a steep learning curve but I am taking baby steps. I learned so much about myself. The good thing is that I’m in pretty good shape. The big thing for me is my weight and all the problems that come along with that. So, I’ll be working harder to lose some weight although it seems so hard for me unless I am participating in some rigorous exercise routine. I need to find that. Yoga is great but I’ve been away from it for a couple of weeks now. I need a lot more practice with teachers to get to a point where I can successfully do it at home. But even still, I need something cardio centric that I can keep up with regularly. This will probably be my hardest battle. In the meantime, I’ve decided to start taking a regime of specially blended Ayurvedic herbs that can help me with some of my problems. It’s a new thing and I’m only on my second day. I take one with honey, one as a tea and the other as a paste (eek). It’s hard to get them down, I must admit. I think I’ll get used to them after a while. It is not as bad as some of the Tibetan medicine I’ve taken. I’m having fun researching all the different herbs in my formula. I’m excited to see if these herbs will make a difference in the quality of my life. I’ll let you know how it goes. So far after a day and a half, I’m just really sleepy. I hope that goes away. I like that I slept so soundly but being sleepy during the day is hard. I have enough formula to last a month or so. Then I’ll regroup with Bhavna about what to do next. Maybe Panchkarma? If you have interest in learning more about yourself through Ayurveda, I can’t recommend her enough. She’s available for Skype consultations too, which is great for me since she is moving away from Austin. It’s kinda sad to lose a new friend so fast but I wish her and her family the best. Good Luck Bhavna!

Bhavna is very professional. She is very warm and genuine. She asked a lot of questions and really seemed interested in my reply or answers. When she didn’t fully understand my reply she asked more questions to try and understand. She asks
thorough questions with a warm touch and I enjoyed her very intent listening skills and warm disposition. Michelle Norris

My experience of Nasya and Panchakarma
Nasya : Nasya oil prepared by Bhavna has helped me with my allergies. I haven't felt sinus pressure since I started using the nasya oil.
Panchakarma : I was little nervous about Panchakarma. But it was very easy to do and the instructions were clear to follow.I actually enjoyed the whole process. I felt very light after the panchkarma and felt clarity in mind as well. I used to wake up with heavy head every day. That went away.The lightness of stomach I experience after PK has made me more aware of how I feel after eating different foods now. I will like to do this home panchkarma more often.
Thank you very much,

My Panchakarma experience
When I came to Bhavna I was chronically fatigued, hormonally imbalanced, and toxically stressed.
After my initial visit, she prescribed a specific formula, oils, and tea that reset me physically, mentally and emotionally. It was truly amazing. I loved that my whole being was addressed and not just symptoms.
After a month, there was deeper healing through Pancha Karma. At first I could not detect much improvement, in fact I seemed to be going backwards! I was assured that it was simply healing crisis and the flare-ups (as I called them) were actually a response to my body ridding itself of the toxins that were producing the chronic symptoms I originally had been feeling. (It also gives you an idea of just how badly I was in need of Bhavna!)
After the third week, I felt REALLY amazing! I am physically strengthened, I have motivation as I have not had in years and my spiritual and emotional fortitude is measurably more stable. The most important thing is I am learning to take care of myself. My family says I am a different person!
I am still on a journey to healing, but Bhavna’s therapies have not only relieved many of the symptoms I originally came to see her about, but several things that I was not aware of. She is authentic, caring, and trustworthy. I am eternally grateful to have found her!

My experience with Panchakarma and consultations
My experience with Panchakarma and consultations with you has been a very positive one. I do see better quality of sleep, improved memory,more energy, less anxiety and depressive feeling. The rejuvenation herbs after Pancha Karma seem to help a lot in good sleep and also in quality of meditation.
I felt very comfortable seeing that you prepare all the herb mixes using organic ingradients. The pancha karma plan and precautions were also well guided, communicated. The experience of pancha karma treatments along with sumptuous hot food was very good.
Thanks,

My Experience with Marma Points and Head Massage
"Dear Bhavna,
Thank you for the wonderful marma head massage!
I felt complete peace immediately following your message and learned so much about Ayurvedic pressure points since I had my session with you at the Community of Infinite Spirit event on Sun 9/29/13.
Also, I am using your hair care oil treatment and I can tell that it's not only helping to enrich my hair but it also seems to
help with my mood. I'm much more positive than before about my future.
Best Wishes!
Sincerely,
Brad"
Marma points and Massage
Dear Friends,
This is a testimonial praising the healing powers I received from Bhavna after attending the Holistic Arts Fair. With little background information about my previous motorcycle head injury, artificial heart valve, spleen removal and limited peripheral vision at the left side, Bhavna quickly proceeded to body, mind and spirit in her first session with me.
After our session I felt my energy increasing and interesting to observe my neurons becoming aware of the fact that something new and different was about to take place as I continued to observe the different booths and activities of the arts fair.
It was fascinating to find that my energy level had increased as the cells in my body were regrouping and recomposing themselves with insufficient and improper nutrition that morning.
I look forward to more sessions with Bhavna as I recover holistically and join with others in San Jose and Los Gatos to establish some kind of support group or social network in the coming months.

Marma points and head massage
Hi,
I received the Marma Point massage yesterday at the Holistic Fair. I massaged the same four points later, too. They still hurt. I think this is a good health treatment.
When my work schedule allows I would like to try the Yoga lessons on Tuesday mornings, at 9:00 to 10:00 too. I live in the area of San Jose not too far from the the main airport, so getting to the session would be pretty easy. I have some friends who live in the Cambrian Park area too, and they are big on holistic health too.
I'm glad to have met you, and greatly value the opportunity to improve in health and wellness, and I can tell you're very dedicated in your work!I also,told someone today that I don't have to get stuck with needles now! I think the marma build momentum and I feel like I'm going through a detox.

Panchakarma with Bhavna helped me more ways than one:
· I have always struggled to lose around my waist line and tummy fat, after panchakarma to my amazement I lost weight in the mid region of my body which I thought was next to impossible.
· I could not sleep for days and the sleeping pills were not helping but Panchakarma did it. It is very nourishing and rejuvinating.
· Under Bhavna's tender and loving care (Abhyanga & Shirodhara) and out of the world fresh kichidi that she fed me was just amazing. If you have an oppurtunity please do the amazing Pancharma (mother of all detox) with Bhavna.

Hello Bhavna:
Thank you very much for your consultation. It was really an excellent Ayurvedic treatment, and felt very light after the treatment. I would definitely recommend this to my friends, and also will take your consultation and treatment on regular basis.
Again, thank you very much.
Thanks and regards,

About Panchakarma:
I have done Panchakarma two times in two years now. It is by far, most powerful cleansing and rejuvenating process I have gone through. I feel lot of raise in my prana level and clarity in the mind. My meditations are deeper and sleep quality has improved and negative feelings came down. I feel very healthy overall and I can see the shine of my skin. Bhavna's professionalism and quality of the treatments really impressed me. She prepares such amazing organic meals during PK! She also prepares the herbal formula herself using organic ingredients! I am permanent client of Bhavna now!
JP
As a first time recipient of Panchakarma, with a very general understanding of the subject, I was unsure of what the process entailed. Bhavna made it a seamless process. Upon our first meeting, I felt comfortable right away and my questions were soon put to rest. Her kind presence, thorough knowledge of Ayurveda, and comforting aftercare guidelines make the process all the more meaningful. For example, she provided very thorough protocols regarding the pretreatment and posttreatment time period.
I view her not just as a person with great credentials or as a holistic health healer with a vast body of knowledge, but as someone who really understands the nuances and complexities of Ayurveda and as someone who really cares about her clients. She prepares customized teas and oils for each client, as she did for me, after careful pulse diagnosis and constitutional analysis before beginning treatment.
I feel now that is was a blessing to work with her - she really is an expert in her field. The process is not just about gentle massages and releasing stress from the body/auric fields, but about understanding each person on a bigger scale. For me, the shirodhara treatment was invigorating and stress relieving, and I imagine there might be different parts of the treatment that would have a similar effect on others. She sat down and talked with me after each session offering great lifestyle/diet/health advice (plus great kitchari) which aids in the detox process. I wholeheartedly would advise anyone looking for a lifestyle overhaul to meet and work with Bhavna - you won’t regret it. Surely, I hope to again.

Abhyanga
I went through post natal massages with Bhavna a month after I had my son and had a good experience.
The marma points massage and the full body abhyanga was what my body needed after the delivery.
After each session I felt relieved and rejuvenated. I wish I had found out about her soon after I delivered,
that way I would have experienced it much sooner!

Yoga Classes
This yoga is really opening up my life. Your way of doing yoga is changing my life. My deep traumas have come to the surface and I am on the way to getting counseling. Amazing. The yoga is bringing up everything. Especially noting emotional scar tissue from my whiplash injury in a car crash when I was in high school. I also was knocked unconscious. I'm feeling a lot freer now. At first I found myself very susceptible to quick reactions in bursts of anger. Then after I find myself able to do things as I never have been able in the past.
Thanks! I feel like I'm advancing.It really complements spiritual work for both me and my wife. We are really doing so much better already. It is such powerful medicine. Great doing these exercises.I feel you are a channel for healing.
Thanks for your help.

Bhavna,
Since taking yoga with you, I am feeling more focused and centered in life.
Not only that, I have seen tremendous improvement in my running speed. Since taking yoga class, I have obtained my personal best times in the Marathon26.2 miles), 50K, and 10K distances. I ran my fastest marathon and qualified for Boston at age 64 in March. I have been running for 14 years and trying to qualify for about 10 Years. Also, I ran my fastest 50K race in April in SF and broke the Women's 60-69 course record by about 8 minutes. Have been running Ultras(50Ks and longer) since 2009. And, on Memorial day, I ran my fastest 10K time at the PAUSATF race in Marin.
Indeed, the yoga seems to have enhanced my running performance and my everyday life. I am feeling less stressed and more positive and have more energy to do basic tasks throughout the day.
Your spiritual approach, breathing and relaxation exercises make this yoga class a universal addition to anyone's exercise regime, no matter what level they may be at.

I attended Bhavna's Yoga class in her backyard twice a week in the mornings. I loved those mornings kicking off with much soothing and relaxing Yoga session from her. She explains each and every Asana and describes the benefits of each Asana too. The Shanti Mantra in Sanskrit was the perfect ending of the session. I highly recommend her Yoga sessions and given a chance again, I will resume as well.

Neck Basti and Abhyanga
I have had the benefit of having Bhavna's Ayurveda body massage followed by Neck basti few times in Bay area. I remember as she was massaging I went to sleep, it was that relaxing! She takes care of you very well and is very sincere at her work. I was happy to have found her!

Netra Basti Treatment for Eyes
I have had frequent issues with my eyes drying up and my vision becoming weaker starting Fall for the past couple of years. I had tried a number of typical remedies such as eye drops, but that did not help much. Usually I had to wait almost for winter to end before regaining my vision. That is when i heard that Bhavna was offering a treatment called Netra Basti for addressing just these kind of issues. It took just one session of Netra Basti and within a couple of days my dry eyes were cured and my vision was back to normal! Definitely recommend it for anyone going through similar eye issues.

Kati Basti Treatment for Back Pain
I have been carrying a couple of spinal herniated disc issues since a few years and it needs constant attention. I have tried various modes of therapy including spinal decompression, acupuncture, chiropractic and physiotherapy.
Recently I have started the ayurvedic treatment of Kati Basti with Bhavna and I am very happy with the relief it brings me. It is a warm oil treatment therapy that Bhavna ji executes in combination with marma point massages on the back and legs. This relieves a lot of stiffness in my back for longer periods of time in between treatments, as compared to other treatments I have experienced earlier. Bhavna's treatment is very soothing and her expertise is evident in the professional manner she does her therapy. I am very glad that I chose to avail her ayurvedic treatment to lead a better lifestyle.

Bhavna will put you at ease and you may even fall asleep with her marma massage. One other amazing thing is it has a way of helping you clear your mind and let go of stress and worry. Treat yourself to a massage todays and you will be glad you did!

Full Body massage- Abhyanga
I have been taking abhyanga massages from Bhavna for almost a year now. All the massages have been deeply relaxing, rejuvenating and even healing. Bhavna uses ancient techniques of Ayurveda along with authentic natural oils and herbs. This abhyanga is truly a full body massage offered in message centers. I would highly recommend seeking Bhavna's advice and healing therapies for ailments, stress relief and rejuvenation.

Yoga Session
Bhavna is very experienced yoga teacher. She was patient in teaching. She was also very flexible with my hours when I requested 1-1 sessions. She heled me understand doing a yoga asana slowly takes more energy than doing it fast. Her style of teaching resonates Thai Chin with me. Would recommend her for anyone wanting to experience the power of yoga.
-Gayatri
Bhavana is a great Yoga Teacher. Before going to Bhavana, I tried online class. She taught different poses and I was surprised to learn that I wasn’t doing the Asana’s correctly. She makes great observations, recommendations and modifications. She offers easier and challenging options for all poses. I felt very supported during the class and will join again. Thank you Bhavana. We are lucky to have a teacher like you in the Almaden area.

Abhyanga & Shirodhara
Shirodhara : The shirodhara session lasted about 45 minutes.It was deeply calming and I noticed significant improvement in the quality of my sleep the night following the session. I would definitely go for a follow up session.
Abhyanga : The session lasted about 1 hour. It was greatly rejuvenating and I felt lighter at the end of the session. I also fell asleep during the abhyanga.

Knee basti / Janu Basti
After suffering from persistent knee pain & limited mobility, I visited Vaidya Bhavna for massage and lifestyle consultation.
The results have been remarkable. Because of the massages, my knee pain decreased and also my range of motion improved significantly. Her approach was gentle & effective & her expertise in applying the Ayurvedic massage techniques made a noticeable difference in my recovery.
I was provided with a clear & concise report after the consultation, which provided my health goals & a detailed self care plan.
I highly recommend Vaidya Bhavna for Ayurvedic consultations & treatments.

Ayurvedic Massage (Abhyanga) & Knee pain Management (Janu basti and Potli Swedan with herbal steam)
I have had an exceptional experience with Bhavna's Ayurvedic massages. She quickly accommodates my schedule and provides a very effective, relaxing experience. I've tried the Shirodhara and full body massages, both of which have been incredibly pleasant and energizing. My mom also found the knee massages to be very beneficial for her knee pain. Would highly recommend!

Bhavna will put you at ease and you may even fall asleep with her marma massage. One other amazing thing is it has a way of helping you clear your mind and let go of stress and worry. Treat yourself to a massage todays and you will be glad you did!

Full Body massage- Abhyanga
I have been taking abhyanga massages from Bhavna for almost a year now. All the massages have been deeply relaxing, rejuvenating and even healing. Bhavna uses ancient techniques of Ayurveda along with authentic natural oils and herbs. This abhyanga is truly a full body massage offered in message centers. I would highly recommend seeking Bhavna's advice and healing therapies for ailments, stress relief and rejuvenation.

Yoga Session
Bhavna is very experienced yoga teacher. She was patient in teaching. She was also very flexible with my hours when I requested 1-1 sessions. She heled me understand doing a yoga asana slowly takes more energy than doing it fast. Her style of teaching resonates Thai Chin with me. Would recommend her for anyone wanting to experience the power of yoga.

Bhavana is a great Yoga Teacher. Before going to Bhavana, I tried online class. She taught different poses and I was surprised to learn that I wasn’t doing the Asana’s correctly. She makes great observations, recommendations and modifications. She offers easier and challenging options for all poses. I felt very supported during the class and will join again. Thank you Bhavana. We are lucky to have a teacher like you in the Almaden area.

Abhyanga & Shirodhara
Shirodhara : The shirodhara session lasted about 45 minutes.It was deeply calming and I noticed significant improvement in the quality of my sleep the night following the session. I would definitely go for a follow up session.
Abhyanga : The session lasted about 1 hour. It was greatly rejuvenating and I felt lighter at the end of the session. I also fell asleep during the abhyanga.

Knee basti / Janu Basti
After suffering from persistent knee pain & limited mobility, I visited Vaidya Bhavna for massage and lifestyle consultation.
The results have been remarkable. Because of the massages, my knee pain decreased and also my range of motion improved significantly. Her approach was gentle & effective & her expertise in applying the Ayurvedic massage techniques made a noticeable difference in my recovery.
I was provided with a clear & concise report after the consultation, which provided my health goals & a detailed self care plan.
I highly recommend Vaidya Bhavna for Ayurvedic consultations & treatments.

Ayurvedic Massage (Abhyanga) & Knee pain Management (Janu basti and Potli Swedan with herbal steam)
I have had an exceptional experience with Bhavna's Ayurvedic massages. She quickly accommodates my schedule and provides a very effective, relaxing experience. I've tried the Shirodhara and full body massages, both of which have been incredibly pleasant and energizing. My mom also found the knee massages to be very beneficial for her knee pain. Would highly recommend!
