Welcome to The Root of Wellbeing
A Holistic Approach to
Happiness, Harmony, Healing & Health
Holistic Living for Optimal Health
Ayurveda, meaning "the science of life," is an ancient holistic healing system from India, developed over 5,000 years ago. It emphasizes the balance between mind, body, and spirit to promote overall wellbeing. Unlike conventional medicine, Ayurveda focuses on preventive care and maintaining health through balanced living, natural therapies, and individualised treatment plans.​
​
​I’m Faye, the founder of The Root of Wellbeing and I know first hand of the transformative power of holistic living. I have experienced the healing benefits of natural remedies and nutrition, and I’m living proof that our bodies can heal when we honour their natural wisdom. ​​
I named my Ayurvedic practice The Root of Wellbeing because, just like a tree’s roots determine its strength and health, the foundation of our wellbeing lies in how we live, what we eat, and how we nurture our bodies and minds. Ayurveda teaches us that to achieve balance, we must address the root cause of any imbalance, and recognize how our unique constitutions (doshas) can stay in harmony for optimal health.​​​​
The Basics of Ayurveda
Ayurveda is an ancient and holistic system of medicine that emphasizes the restoration of balance within the body, mind, and spirit to achieve optimal health. It views health as a dynamic equilibrium where physical, mental, and emotional aspects are interconnected. Disorders arise when there is an imbalance in the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), a disruption in the body's digestive fire (Agni), or the accumulation of toxins (ama). These imbalances disturb the natural harmony within the body and manifest as illness​​​​​​​​
The Five Elements
At the heart of Ayurveda lies the concept that health is sustained by the proper balance of the five fundamental elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—that make up all of creation, including the human body. These elements are the building blocks of the physical world and function in the body in unique ways, shaping our constitution. When one or more elements become disproportionate, either through lifestyle choices, diet, or external influences, this imbalance leads to the rise of one or more doshas. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on realigning this balance by addressing the root causes of imbalance, enhancing digestion (Agni), detoxifying the body, and restoring harmony between the mind and body to foster holistic wellbeing.
Earth
Fire
​Water
Earth (Prithvi) represents stability and solidity. It is associated with structure, bones, muscles and tissue.
Fire (Agni) represents transformation and metabolism. It governs digestion and converting food to energy.
Water (Jala) represents fluidity and cohesion. It is linked to bodily fluids such as plasma and blood.
Air
Ether
Air (Vayu) represents mobility and movement. It is associated with respiration, circulation and the nervous system.
Ether ( Akasha) represents space and expansiveness. It is the essence of all spaces and channels in the body.
The Doshas
In Ayurveda, the three doshas represent the energies that govern bodily functions and mental processes. Each individual has a unique combination of these doshas, known as their prakriti (natural constitution). Understanding your own dosha balance with my guidance can help you to understand the most suitable lifestyle and dietary choices to support your wellbeing.
​
-
Vata: Composed of air and ether, Vata governs movement and communication within the body. It controls the nervous system, circulation, and breathing. When in balance, Vata supports creativity, flexibility, and energy.
​
-
Pitta: Made up of fire and water, Pitta is the dosha of transformation. It governs digestion, metabolism, and intellect. In balance, Pitta supports clarity, strength, and determination.
​​
-
Kapha: Comprised of earth and water, Kapha is the dosha of structure and lubrication. It governs the body's stability, immune system, and growth.

How I Will Work With You to Restore Balance
Your Ayurvedic journey begins with a thorough Initial Ayurvedic Assessment (up to 1 hour 45 minutes), where we will uncover the root causes of your health concerns and work together to optimize your overall wellbeing. As a skilled Ayurvedic Consultant, I use my senses to detect imbalances or disorders in the body.​ Using traditional Ayurvedic methods such as pulse diagnosis, tongue observation, and eye analysis, I will gain deep insights into your unique health profile. Ayurveda takes a holistic approach, viewing you as a whole person, which allows me to consider all the unique factors that may be contributing to your health challenges.
​
Through a series of questions about your daily routines, diet, and lifestyle, I will form a clear picture of what might be causing your symptoms. From there, I will identify imbalances and I will guide you on a personalised healing journey, creating a treatment plan that aligns with your individual health needs.
​
Your treatment plan will Include:
-
Custom dietary plans tailored to your constitution and imbalances.
-
Lifestyle modifications best suited to support your wellbeing.
-
Herbal supplements (if recommended, additional charges apply).
​
Your treatment plan will be emailed to you after your consultation, and any recommended herbal supplements will be mailed to you directly.
​​
To ensure lasting transformation, Ayurvedic Integration Sessions are scheduled every four weeks. I will review your progress, adjust your treatment plan, and refine herbal remedies. Regular follow-up sessions are key to maintaining balance and supporting your ongoing healing journey.

Together, we will build the foundation to restore wellbeing.

Testimonials
"I worked with Faye over the course of around 6 months and she supported me with my recovery from severe fatigue and migraines which arose in the aftermath of an infection. She took a detailed history and identified and reinforced the approaches I was already taking to help myself. She went on to identify the aspects of what I was doing which were counter productive, using the lens of Ayurvedic wisdom to help to identify and explain how some dietary and lifestyle habits might support others but due to my constitution might be counter productive for me. She created an individualised plan including dietary and lifestyle modification, herbs and spiritual practice and reviewed me at regular intervals, building the plan as my recovery evolved. All the while, Faye brought her own unique brand of bright, loving awareness, deep listening, intuitive insight, and a profound and genuine compassion. I found her support and suggestions nurturing, helpful and healing and I'm so happy that she is offering her gifts to the world."
