Ayurvedic Services in Grafton

with Leanne Moore

Ayurvedic Consultation
The oldest form of recorded natural healing is Ayurveda, India’s traditional medical system. It has been practised for 1000’s of years to assist people in aligning with nature’s rhythms and regain greater health and wellbeing. There is a recognition that each individual is completely unique.  Through a detailed health assessment, an Ayurvedic consultation honours this individuality, and with this understanding, seeks to bring the person back to their own balance with advice on lifestyle, diet and herbs. 

Navar Kizzi Massage
Navar Kizzi is a specialised massage treatment using a variety of rice that has medicinal properties. The rice is cooked in a milk and herb decoction and place in pouches, which are dipped in a heated milk and herb decoction and used to massage the body.

Its benefits include:

  • Creates suppleness and removes stiffness

  • Promotes sound sleep

  • Strengthens the body

  • Boosts the immune system

  • Slows down the ageing process

  • Improves the lustre and texture of the skin

Kizzi Bolus Massage

 Kizzali Bolus is a type of massage in which a pouch (bolus) containing a mixture of fresh and dried herbal ingredients is dipped in medicated herbal oil and used to massage the body. This is followed by a steam treatment.

It is an effective treatment for chronic and deep seated muscular, bone and nervous disorders such as:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Osteoarthritis

Shirodhara
Shirodhara is a continual pouring of warm medicated oil to the forehead (3rd eye) and is an effective treatment for reducing stress and expanding one’s consciousness. It is done in a quiet setting with the individual lying on his/her back.

The mind, body and spirit are intimately connected, and Shirodhara, by calming the mind, relaxes the entire physiology. Shirodhara is especially effective for those experiencing anxiety, insomnia, depression, and stress in general. Shirodhara stimulates the pituitary gland, which helps bring hormonal balance. Thus, Shirodhara, because of its calming and nurturing effect, is beneficial for anyone.

Through its balancing effect on the different body-types and its stress relieving capabilities, shirodhara thus enables the natural expansion of consciousness, thereby leading to experience your natural state of bliss.

I have known Leanne Moore on a professional basis for around 14 years. 

I have been seeing Leanne regularly as a client since June 2014 for weekly Ayurvedic Massage. A stroke 30 years ago as left me with wasted muscles and pain.I am finding that this weekly massage is helping me. I am excited to discover that I am developing a muscle in my left calf which was totally lost due to the weakness.  Leanne has also corrected the level of my shoulders which is helping me to walk a lot straighter and reduced my pain. My fingers have uncurled, also reducing pain. Leanne has so much to give in the way of understanding the body and movement with all the years working with physio and rehabilitation people. I find the Ayurvedic massage is helping me so very much......... Virginia, 2014
