Spring 2012

I'm pleased to announce that I've teamed up with a colleague and Panchakarma Specialist, Courtney LaCava, to offer you the opportunity for a more complete cleanse experience. 

I will guide you through your cleanse and you'll see Courtney (in Noe Valley, SF) for wonderful, customized Ayurvedic body treatments during your cleanse week and/or the following week.  While Ayurvedic massage and bodywork is extremely enjoyable, it is also very effective in helping the body release toxins - both in body and mind.  Courtney and I will work together to ensure the cleanse and the treatments meet the goals of your cleanse process.

Happy Cleanse!

The details

The Cleanse

I'll guide you through this one-on-one 7 day cleanse designed to help clear the body & mind of toxins and re-ignite the digestive fire.

Your cleanse will include:

• Pre-cleanse, mid-cleanse and post-cleanse meetings
• A detailed 7-day plan of Ayurvedic meals
• Daily Ayurvedic practices
  
• A guide for your post cleanse diet
• Recipes (specific to your needs)
• Spice blend for cooking (custom mix)
• Triphala herbs (custom mix) 

This is a gentle and simple cleanse which can easily be done while you're still working.  This is also a great first cleanse.  Although it's relatively mild, it's very effective and you'll come out of it feeling lighter and healthier.  If you'd like to include a purge (day of elimination), we can do that, too.

Cleanses begin on Sunday and end on Saturday.  You choose the week that works best for you:

• 25-31 Mar
  
• 1-7 Apr
  
• 8-14 Apr
  
• 15-21 Apr
  
• 22-28 Apr
  
• 29 Apr - 5 May
  

(Please note: each week is limited to 3 clients)

In addition to the instructions and support, you'll be given a list of items you'll need to buy (nominal cost: ie, basmati rice, ghee, veggies...).  Some items can be purchased from me or from your local healthfood store or Indian food shop.

If you live outside of San Francisco, no worries.  Meetings can be held over Skype or phone and I can guide you through this cleanse where ever you are.  Herbs and supplies can be mailed to you.

Please note cleanses are only offered in the transitional seasons, Spring & Fall, following Ayurvedic tradition.



"After a week of unhealthy eating and a great deal of stress, the cleanse brought my body, mind and emotions back into balance.  I felt calmer, lighter, and slept better.  Elena truly cares, is very motivating to work with, and I highly recommend her." -Bree

"Physically, the clean cycle of food going in and out of my body effectively felt great, and has made me more aware of the affects of different foods on my body." -Meaghan C.



"Because of your guidance and support I could manage this. It was not easy, but I am certainly glad that I tried it and did well. I feel the difference in many ways." -Stephanie T.

Please note:  Because I prepare specifically for each cleanse client, and all instructions and herbs are provided during the pre-cleanse meeting, refunds cannot be given.
