Panchakarma: Ayurvedic Cleanse & Rejuvenation

Over 3–7 days, immerse yourself in a restorative Ayurvedic reset designed to cleanse, nourish, and rebalance. Through personalized warm-oil therapies, gentle somatic practices, daily rhythm guidance, and nourishing meals, you’ll clear build-up in the tissues and mind, resetting digestion and elimination, releasing stored stress, restoring emotional clarity, and renewing vitality. In a world where we’re all exposed to environmental stressors, processed foods, and constant stimulation, this cleanse offers a grounded way to reconnect with your true nature and re-establish sustainable rhythms.

  • Ayurvedic bodywork (2 hours): warm, herb-infused oils with Abhyanga followed by additional treatments.

  • It is best to cancel all responsibilities during your retreat. This is a powerful process to rest the body and senses, the more stillness you experience, the deeper you go.

  • Everyone’s experience differs. It is best to move slowly and intentionally back into your home life. We will discuss a gentle return to foods and activity. This process can bring up deep emotions and insights. Try giving yourself a few days to integrate the work before returning to external responsibilities.

Ayurvedic Practitioner & Panchakarma Specialist

I bring my heart and expertise to Ayurveda’s traditional retreat, guiding you through the transformative Panchakarma journey with compassion and care. With years of experience helping hundreds of people heal, I create a deeply intuitive and supportive space for each client’s unique path to wellness.

My training as a Panchakarma Practitioner began under the mentorship of Dr. Suhas and Dr. Manisha at Ayurvedic Healing. There, I immersed myself in the ancient therapies of Panchakarma, learning how to cleanse and rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit. This experience helped me cultivate the skills needed to guide others on their own healing journey through ancient wisdom and techniques.

CLIENT LOVE

“Going into my 5 day experience with Melinda I felt like I needed something to shift in a big way but wasn’t sure what I needed.

After experiencing multiple health issues and trying a plethora of treatments I felt stuck. I had been called to do a Pancha Karma in 2019 but did not think it was the right time but knew that my experience with Melinda in 2021 would be the radical shift that I was looking for and it was!

Melinda is an incredible intuitive healer.

The way that she holds space and helps you work through the entire experience from the physical body to the emotional body was absolutely everything I needed. From the minute I stepped into our healing container for 5 days I felt a weight lifted off me.

Melinda has a very incredible way of holding space for people where you immediately feel seen and supported.

In the 5 days I noticed myself releasing old thought patterns, becoming more in tune with my body and SO SO much more. I could not recommend Melinda enough if you are wanting to experience radical change. Thank you Melinda for this space to come back to myself, I am forever grateful for you!”
