What happens during an Ayurveda consultation?

An Ayurveda consultation with Priya begins with a thorough exploration of your digestive health, gut function, and the symptoms that have brought you here. Priya takes a detailed health history — looking at everything from your digestion and sleep patterns to your stress levels and daily routine. Using traditional Ayurvedic diagnostic methods alongside, where relevant, laboratory testing such as gut microbiome or food intolerance assessments, she builds a complete picture of your unique constitution. From there, you'll receive personalised guidance on diet, lifestyle, and daily practices grounded in Ayurvedic principles. Consultations are available in person in Perth and via telehealth across Australia.

How long is an initial Ayurveda consultation?

An initial consultation is typically 60 to 90 minutes. This is not a quick-fix appointment. The time is used to understand your full health history, your current symptoms, your lifestyle, and your goals. This depth of inquiry is what allows Priya to offer guidance that is genuinely tailored to you, rather than a generic protocol. Follow-up consultations are shorter and focus on reviewing your progress and refining your plan.

Do I need to prepare anything before my consultation?

The most important thing you can bring is openness. Ayurveda looks at your health through a different lens to conventional medicine, and some of what Priya explores — your digestion, your daily rhythms, your emotional patterns — may feel unfamiliar territory for a health consultation. Coming with a willingness to reflect honestly and embrace meaningful change makes a real difference to the outcome. Practically, it helps to note down your current symptoms, any medications or supplements you're taking, and a rough sense of your daily routine and diet.

How many Ayurveda consultations will I need?

This depends on the complexity of your health concerns and how consistently you engage with the recommendations. Most people notice meaningful shifts within two to three consultations, though deeper or longer-standing conditions take more time. As Priya puts it: my approach requires commitment to meaningful lifestyle change over time. If you're looking for a quick fix, this probably isn't the right fit. If you're ready to invest in understanding your body deeply, I'd love to hear from you.

Do you offer Ayurveda consultations in Perth?

Yes. Priya offers in-person Ayurveda consultations in Perth at her private clinic. Telehealth consultations are also available for clients across Australia, making it possible to access personalised Ayurvedic guidance regardless of where you are located. Whether you are in Perth or interstate, you can book directly through the website.
