New Services: Ayurvedic Counseling & Bodywork with Melinda Reece, LMT

We’re thrilled to announce that our team is growing this July with the addition of Melinda Reece, Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and Licensed Massage Therapist.

Melinda recently moved to Tahoe from Santa Cruz (a common trait among many of our providers!) and we’re incredibly excited to be able to provide a space for her to offer Ayurvedic Services to our community and visitors.

Ayurveda, also known as the Science of Life, is a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. It offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vital while realizing their full human potential. Providing guidelines on ideal daily and seasonal routines, diet, behavior and the proper use of our senses, Ayurveda reminds us that health is the balanced and dynamic integration between our environment, body, mind, and spirit.
