About Us
Perimenopause Massage Therapy & Ayurveda is an Ayurvedic health clinic with a holistic approach to health rooted in classical Ayurveda, India’s ancient system of healing, as it’s practiced in India.
At Perimenopause Massage Therapy & Ayurveda, we safely and consciously guide you towards balance using holistic massage and bodywork therapies, Ayurvedic supplements, and meal plans personalized to your own unique needs.
Formed in 2018 as Chattanooga Ayurveda LLC, Perimenopause Massage Therapy & Ayurveda evolved to better describe the needs of the clients we serve, women between the ages of 35 and 70, seeking a holistic approach to health through the challenges of perimenopause, menopause, and aging.
These our our company values:
- Ayurveda is an excellent complementary modality to medicine and nutrition, but it’s not a replacement for either of them. If you need a doctor, medical provider, or dietician, you must see one.
- No one individual can heal you. Healing is self-generated and supported with the right knowledge for living well.
- Food can be a boon or a poison. The right guidance can help you understand which foods and drinks are right for you and when.
- Health is deeply connected to nature, the environment we exist within, and our relationship to it.
- Your voice matters. We are committed to creating an environment where every individual feels heard and respected without interruption. If we need to interrupt you, you will be notified beforehand.
- Empowerment through agency. We believe in fostering each individual’s autonomy and self determination. Your choices are honored above all else.
- Holistic well-being. While our care is rooted in support for your physical imbalances, our approach considers the whole person because all of your experiences impact your current state of health.
- Safety and sanctuary. We are dedicated to cultivating a safe space to feel secure, respected, and free from judgment. Vulnerability is met with compassion and understanding.
- Compassion and empathy. We approach every interaction with genuine care, understanding, and sensitivity. We strive to deeply listen to and acknowledge each woman’s unique journey, offering support with kindness and a non-judgmental attitude.
- Everyone is welcome. All people can benefit from Ayurveda’s vast knowledge regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.
