Treatments & Consultations
Prevention is better than cure but Virginia will also work with any presenting health issues that arise.
In Ayurveda we work with the elements and ‘doshas’ which indicate your past and present constitutional state as well as your disease tendencies.
Virginia is an amazing therapist. She is very professional and has helped me to reduce pain from an arthritic hip with vasti treatments. She also helped me with long standing sleep difficulties by a 2 hour shirodara session- that was sublime!

Book Reviews
I wanted to tell you your book is in use every day. I have done the cleanse five days a week and eat carefully for two. In the three weeks I’ve done this I have lost a stone and got my blood pressure way into the safe zone! I am loving how eating the way I am has impacted on me feeling better. I seem to be on right road. I want to learn more about the Ayurvedic way of life, it’s something I put off a lifetime ago.
This book is a delight to read. Not only is it full of useful and easy to understand information, it is also beautifully illustrated. Virginia Compton writes from personal experience, changing her life through simple Ayurvedic and lifestyle practices that we can all do if we want to. These practices are explained really clearly and simply making this book accessible to everyone. It also has some great recipes which I have found really good. Fabulous book!
Can I just say I am loving your book, you’re amazing, the book is amazing, I love how it’s written
and presented and I can feel you in every word. I feel this interstitial fluid, I feel it buzzing
within me the energy of it with every full moon and now I know what it is I’m feeling.
A great easy to understand guide.
Whether you are new to Ayurveda or not, this book will help support your lifestyle.
With its recipes, bodywork practices and observances to the cycles of life and nature, you are
able to choose what you incorporate into your life to improve health and vitality.
This book feels like sunshine, bright beautiful illustrations, full of information making Ayurveda really accessible.
Virginia’s book is a wonderfully insightful exploration of Ayurveda, especially for a novice like me!
It is a beautifully illustrated journey back to well being and balance. There are so many books
out there that leave you feeling overwhelmed with information, whereas this one feels like a
gentle Intuitive guide that walks you in the direction of your true health. Thank you Virginia.

Cyclical Wisdom and Ayurveda – Sattvic Soul
We need to understand that although ayurveda can appear very structured and full of rules and natures cycles can seem very fluid and flowing, they are not different, they are the same. It is our way of viewing them that can make these things feel separate.

Is my gut healthy?
How often should we poo? Ayurveda says at least once a day, maybe more. But why? To fully understand this we also need to understand how digestion works.

Breasts, voyeurism and virtuousness.
Somehow breasts have become something to be covered up, or if we choose to display them too much (not even fully) we can be seen as irresponsible, too free and easy. Seriously, what is going on? As women we are expected to be virtuous. And yet even if we manage this quality, it is still ok for others to be voyeuristic.

Finding Freedom
This blog is a little different from my usual offerings. I hope that it’s helpful for some of you to read. for almost 20 years I lived with a partner who was addicted to various substances. I am sharing this now because I have only…

Panchakarma – returning to source
