“I’ve experienced a couple of sessions with Asher, and both times have felt incredibly nourished, nurtured and left feeling grounded and so relaxed. Asher’s gentle presence and experience is a balm for my weary soul. And her obvious love for Ayurveda and desire to assist others to be empowered in themselves and their health journeys is so refreshing. She’s professional, considerate and I believe genuinely works towards the best outcome for her clients. I can highly recommend Asher.”
Why Ayurvedic Treatments?
The power of ayurvedic treatments are on healing at a deeper level, working with the nervous system and balancing the vital humour called Vata dosha, which governs all movement in our body and vital energy, and health, including hormonal balance!
Asher-Lily brings her 7+ years experience now offering Ayurvedic treatments, facilitating retreats & the use of marma therapy (using energetic points), elements of reiki, and loving touch. She uses all 100% organic high quality oils for my treatments and treats from her beautiful clinic nestled in Mullumbimby Creek.

“My Abhyanga & Shirodhara Treatment with Asher left me feeling a deep level of peace, and also like my heart was so full it was overflowing. I felt so well cared for by Asher and even the day after I feel clear, peaceful and have a full heart.”
“I have been having Abhyanga and Shirodhara with Asher on a regular basis for the past 6 months - it is one of the most relaxing and nurturing experiences I have ever had. I feel completely tended to, nurtured and cared for by Asher, who is a very warm, gentle and compassionate person. Having these treatments together relaxes my mind and body to such a deep extent that I fall into sleep and into another realm. It is the most beautiful gift to oneself. Thank-you Asher.”

Nahbi Vijnanam
The Nahbi, otherwise known as the naval centre, occupies the most important position in our bodies which acts not only as our ‘second brain’ but is also considered our emotional center. Nahbi Vijnanam is the diagnosis and treatment of a ‘displaced Nahbi’ which can cause an array of problems such as ongoing digestive issues, tummy ache, cramps, period pain, indigestion, lower back pain and low appetite, as well as contribute to poor posture and balance - all of which the Nahbi Vijnanam therapy can help to treat, in conjunction with your Ayurvedic prescription. For best results, this treatment is available upon referral, often in conjunction to Lumbar Twist Massage. Read more on the blog - All About Nahbi Vijnanam, Ayurvedic Treatment Profile.

This therapeutic massage works with the muscles and marma or energetic points of the pelvic area. It is especially useful for serious problems such as chronic pain, herniated lumbar disc, lower back pain, neck pain, slipped disc and sciatica. This treatment works best in conjunction with, and may be prescribed together with Nahbi Vijnanam and may need a series of treatments for acute conditions.

Localised Pinda Sweda
Pinda Sweda involves the therapeutic application of heat with a medicated herbal ‘bolus’. It may be applied to the whole body or more locally, depending upon the condition. Specially designed to remove toxic accumulations, this is a unique therapy to Ayurveda that massages active herbal ingredients in specially made ‘bolus’ (pouches) directly into deeper tissues and ligaments, offering immediate and long-lasting relief from pain and inflammation.
This style of swedana treatment (application of heat to promote sweat) can be used for muscle pain, rigidity and inflammation in localised areas of the body as well as arthritis, stiffness, cellulite & obesity. Pinda Sweda is very useful in cases where there are toxic accumulations in the body (ama), this is one of the best course of treatments to promote detoxification by directing the ama (toxins) towards the digestive tract to be expelled naturally via eliminations.
