Tabitha

I am a student at the California College of Ayurveda. I've taken Principles of Ayurvedic Medicine, Clinical Ayurvedic Medicine, and I'm currently in my Ayurvedic Health Counselor Internship. I currently working with clients as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor. Treatment plans will focus on nutrition, lifestyle, and therapeutic use of digestive herbs. In Ayurveda, each person has two different doshas (a dosha is your unique Ayurvedic mind/body… type). Your first dosha is the one you were born with and the second dosha is your current imbalance. Our initial intake will involve extensive review of your mind/body history that will allow us to determine both doshas. We will work to heal your current imbalance in order to bring you back your main dosha as your primary balanced state. Each session, we will visit touchpoints such as appetite, digestion, elimination, energy level, and mood. Further, I will provide weekly recommendations to continue encouraging your path of healing and overall wellness. If recommendations don't go as planned, we will co-create creative supports to help you integrate with more successs. While today's society can favor instant gratification and quick-fixes, Ayurveda is quite the opposite. In Sanskrit (ancient Indian language), Ayurveda directly translates to "the science of life." It is a way of life that weaves into all aspects of ourlives- that is why is so powerful. Each moment has the potential to hold understanding, care, and connection. Changes can be seen quickly and they can also take time to ripple into our reality. No matter what cadence, the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda will surely provide a loving, safe harbor for you to create balance and wellbeing in your mind and body.

My name is Tabitha Boze and I am an Ayurvedic Health Counselor. I found Ayurveda (or Ayurveda found me) in 2019. After struggling with acne since adolescence, my skin condition evolved into uncontrollable adult cystic acne when I was 21 years old. No skin creme or pill would heal my acne. Even after taking most extreme acne treatment available in the United States, it eventually returned. This is how I found Ayurveda. I was searching for… something that I could understand and something that felt real; this sacred science offered me exactly that. I remember sitting on the floor of my apartment, opening up "Ayurveda for Idiots" and completely lighting up. I finally understood an approach toward healing and it felt like there was something out there that understood me too. I am drawn toward Ayurveda because it is truly a holistic medicinal approach– acknowledging and honoring the whole. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, this ancient wisdom considers all aspects of what it means to be human– digestion, elimination, appetite, mood, energy level, spiritual connection, nourishment in relationships, and so on. It is all connected and deserves a seat at the table. With this multi-faceted approach, we attempt to discover the root cause of disease rather than treating only the symptom. After years of not feeling fully heard or seen by doctors, this approach seemed attractive, relieving, and even somewhat magical. In addition to my interest in Ayurveda as a way to help us heal on an individual level, I also feel called to the importance and cultivation of community. I view Ayurveda as an entry point to the field of wellness and beyond that, will use it as an opportunity to bring folks together. Rather than heal in isolation, we can heal in community. We may also breathe, laugh, dance, cry, grieve, morn, and alchemize together.
