Wellness Routine Consultations
This unique service offers comprehensive support to those interested in refining their daily lifestyle habits to enhance their well-being. Our lives and the natural world around us are governed by rhythms. The rising and setting of the sun, even our own heartbeat ebbs and flows like a wave. Yet many of us live our lives quite disconnected from these rhythms. We often even fight against our own natural cycles with rhythm-disrupting daily lifestyle choices.
Our bodies crave the stability of routine and reliable cycles. Meeting you wherever you are now, we will work together to build off of existing strengths in your daily routine while thoughtfully examining where to add, subtract, or change practices to invite greater balance.
Your consultations will involve some personal discussion, education regarding yogic and ayurvedic principles, and tips for how to incorporate some useful tools into your daily routine. In addition to your initial consult, your Wellness Consultation Package includes customized recommendations, lots of follow-up support, and even a free gift to help you get started!

Who can benefit from Wellness Routine Consultations?
Truly anyone who is interested in improving their health and establishing a supportive daily rhythm. Especially folks dealing with conditions that get in the way of everyday well-being.
Is there anyone for whom Wellness Routine Consultations aren’t a great fit?
You don't need to have any experience with yoga or ayurveda to benefit from Wellness Routine Consultations. However, you might find it helpful to build a foundation with private yoga sessions first.
Where do Wellness Routine Consultations take place?
Natalie can meet you at your home or guide you via a virtual session. Establishing a special place in your home can really help support your ongoing practice, so you might want to consider where you could create a clean, mostly distraction-free zone at home. If you would prefer in-person sessions at your home, please contact Natalie to make sure that your location is within HPY's service area.
What should I expect during my Wellness Routine Consultations?
These consultations mostly involve discussion and collaboration. They are not structured like a yoga class or private session, though we might take time to practice movement, breath or other yogic techniques.
Natalie’s background in both yoga therapy and ayurveda has given her an interdisciplinary perspective on health and well-being. She likes to merge two key frameworks from these disciplines regarding how we think about what humans are “made up of”. Using both the 5 koshas and the 5 elements, we look at all aspects of what makes us whole - our physical, physiological, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual selves as well as how we relate to the elements in nature (earth, water, fire, air, and space). We will examine areas that might need some attention and utilize simple daily practices to invite greater balance throughout.
Before your first consultation ends, we will discuss some of the recommended refinements to your daily routine. You will get to decide what you'll implement. Your follow-up email will include more details and resources.
What is ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a form of ancient holistic medicine, considered the science of self-healing. Ayurveda aims to promote good health through wise lifestyle choices and living in alignment with our true nature. Yoga and Ayurveda are considered "sister sciences" which compliment and rely on each other.
When can I schedule my sessions?
Natalie loves to offer flexible scheduling options. Once you have purchased a package, you'll receive a code to schedule your first consultation online. Your follow-up sessions may be scheduled anytime within a year. 24 hour notice is required for all appointments and cancellations.
What happens after I use up my package?
These consultations are designed to help you feel empowered to embark on your own home wellness routine. After your first consult you will receive and email with your routine recommendations and other resources. Your package will also include 3 total follow up consults (1 in-person and 2 over the phone). With these follow-ups you'll have the opportunity to discuss what is working well, where you might be experiencing setbacks, and any quesitons. We'll work together to make updates wherever necessary. If you feel you would like even more support after your package has been used, you may schedule individual consultations down the road.
