Overview
There comes a point in clinical practice where technique alone is not enough. Clients may present with patterns that do not quite fit, symptoms that feel layered, or a general sense of imbalance that seems rooted in more than just the physical body.
In this practical 2-part webinar series, Dr. Alda Sainfort introduces the core principles of Ayurveda alongside the deeply therapeutic practice of Abhyanga — a traditional oil-based massage designed to support balance across the body and mind.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of the doshas — Vata, Pitta and Kapha — and how they may influence your clients. The course then moves into Abhyanga as a clinical tool, covering oil selection, foundational techniques, marma point awareness, and how to adapt treatments for stress, fatigue and general health.
