All meals are freshly prepared according to Ayurvedic principles. Each day is carefully structured to support your healing process while allowing ample time for rest and integration.

  • As a Panchakarma client you will meet with Kashyapa at least once prior to your arrival for Panchakarma. While undergoing Panchakarma, you will meet with Kashyapa for a daily check in Monday through Saturday. Additionally, your Panchakarma will include a free follow up consultation with Kashyapa approximately one week after your Panchakarma.

  • No! Ayurveda is not actually a ‘vegetarian’ tradition. During Panchakarma, we prepare tradioinal Ayurvedic dishes customized to the needs of each of our clients and the unique requirements of their Panchakarma protocols. Sometimes these are vegetarian- and sometimes not. But we accommodate the needs and customs of vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

The specific combination is tailored to your constitution and health goals during your intake with Kashyapa.

Many experience relief from chronic conditions, enhanced immunity, and lasting transformation in their relationship with health.
