My life
Find support, nourishment and communion with Nature
Hi, I’m Tina, I love Ayurveda, because it is holistic medicine that shows me the way
For over 25 years, I have been living the natural way
Why I am here?
Over 25 years ago, I had to make a life choice, it was to choose the prozac or find another medicine. It was a moment in life, I will never forget and my life has never been the same since.
In truth, life is never the same, we are changing moment by moment, it is only our thoughts that become rigid and stuck, this is the viel that covers the beauty of life.
My life has been full of adventure. I danced my way through life from a young age. Born in Liverpool, I was present at the start of house music, the Club Underground opened me up spiritualy. Then finding myself weekly on the quadarant park stage, on request of the inhouse DJ dancing to house music.
Then I arrived in Jersey I worked in all kinds of hospitalty which i loved, then i chased the money and became dealer in finance the high street banks and trust company. I was a unhappy in work, because I was a round plug in a square hole. There had to be more to my life! I kept asking the universe to show me the way, what was I here on this earth for?
Similtaneasly I was having surreal moments of awakening, as i had ditched the processed foods, and became fully devoted to nature. It was then Ayurveda began to embody me.
I left and took a one way ticket to Australia for a year, and my vision became clearer. I qualified as a chef, focusing on my passion, vegeterian cooking, learnt to grown my own vegetables on organic farms, learnt the medicinal value of herbs and all kinds of supplements back in Jersey.
Inside i had a kindling, a yearning to know more about healing and the meaning to life. I was disatisfied with the western culture, it lived to eat and be merry. I was being called to something more, my life began again in a different direction.
I deepeded my committment to Ayurveda and studied at University in London, after Graduation I spent the next 9 years as a spiritual seeker, looking for answers into who we are, continously graced in person by enligtened masters, and living in india, beside Ramana Maharishi Ashram for many years.
My Journey: Ayurvedic Wisdom with Clinical Expertise
My desire for life-changing knowledge took over my life, and I have not stopped studying. I learnt clinical Ayurveda at university in London and clinics in India (BSc). Researched Public Health for Complimentary Medicine (MSc). I am qualified Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama and Philosophy teacher. I am quite modest, yet I will share that the teachers whom I have studied with our at top of the game in this world. One of my other loves of the Vedic tradition is Vedic Chanting.
Being in the kitchen I am most creative. I make pranic rich meals in quick time, the Ayurvedic seasonal way.
I love making Ayurvedic Formulations and administering these medicines to patients, to support them with the health and wellness. I have seen incredible changes, with the simplest of protocals.
The scope of the Ayurvedic knowledge is expansive, being holistic, I can be applying it anywhere on the road with me. Whether it is Counselling a stranger, feeding people or providing medicine to people on the street, or treating the street dogs with Ayurvedic herbs for the challenging skin conditions, there is always someone in need of care.
From a young age, my curiosity to know about medicine was clear. I dreamt of being a nurse, but fate made me wait. It kept me from going down the traditional nursing route in the NHS. Some years later my yearning to care and treat sprouted forth, when Ayurveda came before me.
My Philosophy: Rooted in Prevention, Centred on Empowering People
I teach all I have learnt and applied to myself and others patients, in class room settings.
Whatever we eat or do in life creates effects our nature, it is all cause and effect.
A simple shift can make a great difference to our nature and the nature of those around us.
A ripple effect touches others with inspiration and a motivation to change. I have seen countless people adapt their habits when they see the effects of this medicine.
Life, I know, is full of too many challenges – stress, unhealthy habits, or even external factors like the weather can throw us off balance.
Ayurvedic River is here to help you see how you create your symptoms and show you how to restore your nature and live your life well.
The Person Behind the Practitioner!
I look at life through the lens of a Mystic. I am consistently applying the medicine to awaken me to my pure self, especially in moments when I feel I am going off track.
I love nature; being held in the trees, diving deep or paddling in the water or gazing out into the vast space, helps me come back into balance.
I see possibilities for endless healing within our community. Whatever our background, wherever we are right now, we all deserve the right to heal and be happy.
