Ayurvedic Medicine and Health Coaching

The Science of Life

Ayurveda offers optimal methods to stay in balance with ourselves and our environment based on our individualized constitution/ imbalance profile. Ayurveda is a five-element, humoral system of medicine, with a qualitative understanding of nutrition, physical activity, lifestyle, daily routine and relationships with self, others and our environment. My role as your Ayurvedic doctor is to pacify aggravated doshas and bring you back into harmony with your original constitution, which represents your baseline state of health.

Meet Dr. Rioux

Ayurvedic Doctor, Yoga Therapist, Herbalist

Dr. Rioux develops long-term healthcare relationships with her patients, including family members. She is generous with her time and knowledge and focuses on individualized, wholeperson care that is hard to find in this standardized world of algorithms and technology. Working together, we will strive to regress conditions, rather than just suppressing symptoms. Ayurveda focuses on gradual resolution of symptoms grounded in well-established health-promoting behaviors that last a lifetime. We all go out of balance sometimes – with the right tools and approaches we can maximize how often we feel well and happy and connect with others in ways that promote the wellbeing of communities and the planet.
