I love Ayurvedic massage and the session I had today as a new patient was just what I needed. I…read morehave had hundreds of massages from dozens of practitioners and I would rate Nicole in the top 5% of all I have experienced. The office is easy to access and parking was available (although during weekends and tourist season it might be a good idea to allow 15 min to park before your appointment). Inside the waiting room was pleasant, the bathroom was clean and the treatment room smelled good (mild - not too strong) and had nice music. I arrived on time and Nicole was ready. She greeted me and invited me into a very cozy treatment room. After a short conversation (3 or 4 questions) about medical history, what brought me in and style preferences, she invited me to get on the table. Nicole started gently, probing and assessing to see what her training and my requests together suggested would be most helpful. From the first touch it was obvious that Nicole is a compassionate, sensitive, confident, experienced and well-trained massage therapist. The whole massage was relaxing and clearly theraputic. After the massage we discussed herbal supplements that might support my healing and I purchased a jar of Chawanprash. My personal reason for going in was to help recover from a serious UTI/kidney infection and get some support for side-effects from antibiotics (e.g. muscle aches, edema, constipation). Nicole knew exactly how to work with my body to ease into releasing the discomfort. She did a fabulous job of listening to my breath and following my body's clues about when to go deeper, linger longer or move on. As I walked out I noticed several things: 1. I could feel my deep muscle aches were gone. 2. I could see that there was a reduction of edema. 3. I knew already that I would be going back soon. BOTTOM LINE: If you want a truly therapeutic massage in Mendocino, you will be doing yourself a favor to go see Nicole.

The day of my appointment to see Victor and Madison, I had a migraine. I decided to go anyway,…read moregiven that was the reason I was seeing them was to discover the root cause. I'm so glad I did. Madison treated me right away with a combination of essential oils and Marma point massage (sort of like the Ayurvedic version of acupressure)and I experienced nearly instant relief. She provided me a diet which was largely the opposite of what I'd been eating. Victor took my pulses and confirmed a lot of my concerns and quickly assessed stress and trauma were the root causes. It has been about three months now of weekly treatments, the new diet, and taking kundalini yoga classes at their sister business, Yoga and Ayurveda, in Cypress Village. I'm excited to hear I'm at about 50% healed, feeling more energized, less depressed, and physically MUCH stronger. This last push is really to hone in on my emotional health and resilience. Victor teaches classes on recovering from Trauma and the Vagas nerve which are so essential for everyone today. Madison's cooking and skin health workshops were also super informative. PCA is a local gem for people looking for natural, holistic healing. Highly recommend.

Meeting Victor and Madison was a breathe of fresh air. My first visit they spent and hour and a half with me. They went over my medical history, checked my pulses and generally cared about healing me holistically, not just suppressing the symptoms.

We were so happy to find Madison and Victor at Pacific Coast Ayurveda (PCA). They are true gems who first focus on the root cause of the health issue. They then diagnose not only the body but also the mind. At the initial consultation Madison & Victor did a deep diagnosis with pulse reading, daily habits, diets, family history and after correlating all the facts, the root cause was identified as Vata imbalance in my body. A 7 Day panchakarma was prescribed for me. Healing process involved traditional methods like Abhyanga with herbal oil, Shirodhara, Anuvasana Vasti, Kashaya Vasti, Netra Vasti, Nasya, Poultice and 10 body Marma therapy. The Treatment :- 1. Detoxified my body. 2. Relaxed my mind. Daily talks with Madison & Victor opened up my thought process and I gained more confidence in my skills and found a clear direction in which to channel my energies. 3. Involved practice of yoga, especially to unblock the Svadhisthana chakra which was identified as one of the reasons for my ailments. 4. Involved consumption of herbal medicines. 5. Tweaks to the diet. They recommended adding certain foods items and removing certain items so as to keep Vata in check. I felt truly rejuvenated after the healing got done. PCA's LA location in Calabasas is away from the big city madness. The atmosphere at PCA is very calming. You feel warmly welcomed as soon as you enter. The treatment room and amenities are very clean. Madison & Victor are very sincere and dedicated to what they are doing. It is not just a job for them. Instead they treat it as an medium to share this nice way of life for the betterment of mankind. I would recommend PCA to all who are looking for a holistic healing.
