WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US
Dr. Gauri Nagargoje
M.D., Hematology Oncology
“As a physician, I have always believed ‘Prevention is better than cure.’ In an era of spiraling health care costs, Ayurveda is the logical and natural solution.
I started working with Veena at a time when I was at the end of my tether, juggling my professional and personal aspirations. She responded to my desperate call and went out of her way.
I was encouraged to pursue a steady approach to create lasting changes. Now when I see my patients, I see so many sufferings from similar symptoms related to diet and stress. I have routed several of my patients to Saumya Ayurveda. Veena is a blessing to have such a rich resource.
I am eternally grateful to Veena for anchoring me to my present state of health and peacefulness and for helping me to embark on a path towards the balance we all are striving for. Thank you so much.”

"Saumya Ayurveda has helped me to become reborn. With Veena’s help, I have become more than ADHD.
What I experienced with Veena allowed me not only a general understanding of health but sparked a lifelong journey to use my knowledge to advance the acceptance of Ayurveda as a needed modality of health.
This is a feat, considering I had difficulty focusing and digestive issues only four short years ago."
Dr. Stephen Parker

“Veena is a knowledgeable and an experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner.
Over the decades, she has helped many of my therapy clients, particularly those for whom the allopathic approach to treatment was insufficient.
She treats the whole person in terms of Ayurvedic diet, lifestyle, and herbal treatment. In Veena you’ll find both skill and care.
Veena’s knowledge, care, and a selfless compassion for other’s suffering is palpable.”
"Veena is an awesome partner. She really helped me investigate my issues - including eczema - and developed an Ayurveda plan that was easy to integrate into my life.
Now I am, thankfully, eczema free!"

“I have suffered from chronic headaches and migraines for as long as I can remember. I had talked to multiple PCPs and specialists about these issues, had been prescribed a variety of medications that helped somewhat, but never really fixed the issue.
Veena promptly put together a plan of action that consisted of herbal remedies alongside simple changes to my diet. Right away I noticed a significant decrease in the number of migraines, and when I did get them, they were much less severe than they had been in the past.
This is certainly the migraine treatment plan that I have seen the biggest benefit from, and I plan to continue my new regimen moving forward.
I am very thankful for Veena's knowledge and advice and would not hesitate to recommend her services to friends and family alike.”
“I have known Veena for twenty years. Over the years, I have sought her Ayurvedic counsel to improve my state of well-being. When I was struggling with significant, unremitting, and deteriorating health issues, her Ayurvedic treatment were always extremely beneficial.
She has amazing gifts to share, and people should know that. Veena is a great listener whose subtle, penetrating questions effectively bring forward important information. She is also extremely intuitive.
I appreciate her collaborative approach as it results in an Ayurveda plan tailored to my unique symptoms, needs, schedule and goals.
Veena stays personally engaged, tracking changes, and adjusting for as long as it takes to accomplish maximum healing and health. She is a true healer. I enthusiastically recommend Veena, without hesitation.”
“I was tired of seeking advice from mainstream medical professionals, even my beloved midwives.
I have long had heavy periods, but think took a turn a couple years ago, getting even heavier.
As a result of so much blood loss, I had become highly anemic, irritable, sleeping restlessly, hooked on morning coffee, and suffering through bloating, cramping, and spotting for a good chunk of the month.
With Veena’s help, things are getting aligned. I am now a firm believer that: A.) She definitely knows what is talking about and B.) Ayurvedic medicine can be trusted.
I am grateful to have found Veena!”

"I've been working with Veena with the Wellness Consultation package, and I have found her compassion and knowledge extremely helpful.
Basically, I had symptoms that my doctor thought, oh no big deal, or hey just take these pills, ran tests that were inconclusive, so I needed answers. I knew some things were not right.
When I went to Veena, she right away built a comprehensive plan, and I felt a lot of relief and very satisfied with her services--and she's an awesome person."
"I've had the privilege of working with Veena for over ten years, so I have gone through many phases of life with her. So, I've gone through many different phases of life with her. Every time a something new comes up, a new challenge, a new life event whether it's having young children or a job, or a change in family like getting a new animal, she has helped me navigate those changes through very gentle methods. Using herbs, teas, and truly food as medicine.
I have been able to calm my central nervous system, calm and rev up my digestive system, which when your body is working correctly and as it should, it makes the rest of life simpler, easier, more comfortable. I always know if I need a little tune up or help, even if it was some travel and I needed an herbal oil to ground me so I wouldn't be nauseous when I landed, that Veena would have the solution."
"Veena is a gem. She's a fountain of knowledge. If there is anything to know about Ayurvedic medicine, she can certainly share it with you in her online consultations.
Her blogs and website have so much information that I found extremely helpful. Veena is also very approachable. I think Ayurveda can feel intimidating especially for someone like me who is new to the practice and learning about it. I appreciated how she broke it down for me and gave me ways to incorporate it me bit by bit.
Also, Veena is very available. She's easy to book appointments and hop online with her and talk through something that is seasonal or episodic, like your Seasonal Consultations, or something that came up in your life--she's there for you."
"Since starting the Ayurvedic diet with Veena, it's been helping me with my menstrual cycle, blood clots, cramps, and PMS – and my skin is the clearest it has ever been!"

“I just completed a colonoscopy and my ulcerative proctitus was given a Mayo Clinic Score of 0, normal or inactive disease. THANK YOU!
I had trouble keeping weight on. No matter what I ate, My family doctor said I had colitis. Also, my energy level was very low. I was using medication daily for a skin condition. Add to this severe migraine headaches about every two weeks.
Following Veena’s guidance, all these conditions have been eliminated!
I gained 10 pounds and my energy level is now strong and stable. When I eat, I feel satisfied. My skin condition has stabilized, and the migraines have essentially disappeared. I’m very grateful to Veena for the wonderful results and the healthier quality of life. Without reservation, I highly recommend Veena at Saumya Ayurveda.”
“Veena has been an incredible resource to help me get aligned on food, herbs, and mind, body, and soul exercises to feel more grounded and present.
I love Veena's daily guided practices, a routine that feels EMBODYING.
She has made an outsized impact on my life in a short amount of time.”
“Veena is not only passionate about assisting others to find health and wellbeing, she’s a kind and compassionate Ayurvedic professional.
My experience working with Veena is that she took the time to listen to me and asked questions that prompted me to share more of my health history that I perhaps had not realized were pertinent to my current situation.
It is a rare treasure to work with someone who is willing to take the time to look at the whole picture as Veena did with me.
Her guidance and recommendations for slight changes I could make were spot on, and she was always listening to both my words and my body. I highly recommend Veena to my own clients and to you.”

“Veena is an amazing Ayurvedic Practitioner. She is knowledgeable and highly skilled.
She is also intuitive and has a great sense of humor.
If you are looking for someone to help guide you to better health, work/life balance and awareness of your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being—I recommend Veena without hesitation.
After my first consultation and one week of recommended foods, I felt better, had more energy and more mental clarity than I have had in many years. Thank you Veena.”
“I had come back from India searching for a local Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner to help me continue my Ayurvedic journey and I was so grateful to find Veena! During our first consultation, she asked all the right questions to truly understand the underlying causes of my sleep and digestive issues.
Veena was very thorough in her questions, research, and follow-up to determine the right treatment plan, recommend the right activities, and practices along with special spices and herbalized oils to help me feel better and restore my energy. I continue to meet with Veena seasonally to reassess and guide me with Ayurveda tools that keep me in balance year-round. Thank you Veena.”
“After six months with no period and increasing concern, I am happy to report that my periods are completely regular.
With just two months of Veena’s treatment, they are almost symptomless except for mild cramping.
I am feeling very good and well balanced overall. My skin has improved as well. I am looking forward to doing the cleanse with you this spring “
"Signing up for an Ayurveda consultation package, I was hopeful my mood would improve, my energy would return, and I would start feeling like myself again. What I didn't expect is how simple it would be to get there.
Veena's plan explains everything so clearly–and I'm starting to feel better! I'm also learning how I got out of balance in the first place."

“I have had amazing success working with Veena to calm inflammation and muscle/joint pain and improve digestion. Through her recommendations, I now know what to eat. Her herbalized oils, teas and spice mixes are amazing!
My General Practitioner could find nothing wrong with me despite a barrage of blood tests. In just two hours with Veena, she knew exactly how to help me. I have more energy, more focus, more motivation, more patience (just ask my kids), more happiness and less pain. Amazingly less pain.
In one month, I have gone from considering pain medication and cortisone shots to feeling whole (and sane and hopeful) again.
I am a different person thanks to her knowledge and care. I strongly recommend that anyone work with Veena. After seeing the changes, I experienced, my family sees her now too.”
“I had been chronically tired for a few months. I also had increased anxiety despite taking an SSRI for years. Practicing yoga asanas, breathwork, and meditation helped, but something was clearly missing.
A week after starting my customized Ayurveda plan, I felt like a different person. I had energy again, and better than before. Many life-long digestive issues disappeared, and others were greatly reduced.
As a recovering alcoholic, the liver cleanse Veena suggested was effective and easy to do. It felt good to support an organ that had taken such a beating for so many years.
Veena’s approach has led to wonderfully positive changes in a short time. I have more energy, anxiety and irritability have decreased, and I’m eating better than ever. It’s easier to meet life on life’s terms, to see the good, and to be active and social. I look forward to continued Ayurveda care with Veena.”
“Veena is an Ayurvedic practitioner based in New Mexico and Minnesota with virtual consultations worldwide. I have been consulting with her for three months.
Under her care I feel much better and have more energy, even though I am not always the most compliant client.
Veena is a caring, thoughtful, insightful, pragmatic, and deeply experienced practitioner of Ayurveda.
Veena lowers the barriers to success and shines a light on the path.
She also has terrific, custom-made products.
She stands by you. Veena is a very wise woman.“

“Veena is a great resource for perspective on health and wellness. I am so glad to be connected to her. She addressed my concerns and increased my awareness how the symptoms were signs of other imbalances in my life.”
“Veena helped me recover post-partum and establish gut wellness. I highly recommend her, and I enjoy talking with her too! You have helped me a lot, I am so grateful.”
"Before I met with Veena, I was always tired. I would wake up and then need to take a nap. I had pain all the time. Now I enjoy walks and the other day, I realized I had no pain, for the first time, and I am very happy about that. I am a believer now!”
"Working with Veena at Saumya Ayurveda was the first time I felt the root of the problem was addressed–rather than just having something prescribed to cover it up."

“I discovered Saumya Ayurveda, and it changed my life dramatically.
I found the answers I was looking for and the underlying causes for the distress I had experienced for years.
Veena and I worked together to alleviate an acute problem with a kidney stone as well.
In two days, I got rid of it completely and avoided an unpleasant procedure proposed by my M.D.
I feel very safe and secure working with her and applying Ayurvedic principles and remedies daily.
Ayurveda is a healthy way to lead your life. Thank you!”
"To know about Ayurveda, contact Veenaji at Saumya Ayurveda --because when it comes to our spiritual life, it is constantly emphasized in the ancient texts to consider what you eat, how you eat, as this supports a solid, concrete meditation practice.
You don’t want anything to become a source of hinderance in your practice.
Being an expert Ayurvedic doctor, and there are now very few, as it requires knowledge of the scriptures, the medicine, but it also requires a great deal of being a sadhaka.
Without being a sadhaka, an Ayurvedic physician is not a true physician.
Because the medicine of Ayurveda is not simply medicine, it is much, much more than simply medicine. The name itself says it, the knowledge, wisdom, the Veda, to know all about Ayu, life.
When you consult with Veenaji, then your body, mind, and your pranic body operate optimally and your sadhana, your life, your spiritual life becomes easier and enjoyable.”
“I've been working with Veena since 2010. She has helped my overall health improve in many ways.
We addressed my health concerns using food, Ayurveda lifestyle practices, and herbs that best support me.
I used to have chronic sinus infections and in the first year of her care, I didn't have one.
She also works with my emotional health. My anxiety has decreased significantly and I'm almost completely free of it!
Emotional ups and downs are gone.
I highly recommend seeing Veena if you are looking for better physical and emotional health.”

“I have know Veena for many, many years and benefited from her consultations.
With Veena's Ayurvedic treatments, my breath become long and smooth, and my mind became quiet.
I just wanted to be still and stay in that peacefulness.”
“The guidance and coaching that one receives at Saumya Ayurveda is crucial. It gives one the knowledge and tools to create balance independently at home with one's individual lifestyle.
After the first week, thanks to my personal Ayurvedic plan, I discovered what it is to wake up in the morning feeling energetic and vibrant. During the day, I'm no longer drowsy but alert, yet calm.”
I was dreading and anticipating hating a weeklong outside summer event. I’ve always hated summer. Hate being in the heat. Hate being in the sun. I am SO surprised! I enjoyed being there, being outside.
I tolerated the high heat well and enjoyed the whole week. I was and am in a good mood. I was not affected by the heat and sun. And, for the first time in 46 years, I didn’t get sunburnt—I tanned!
"I have been working with Veena for 10 years. She has helped me navigate life's changes through very gentle methods including using herbs, teas, and food as medicine.
When your body is working as it should, it makes the rest of life simpler and easier."

"I found Saumya Ayurveda when I was looking for a holistic approach to my health and lifestyle.
The Wellness Consultation with individual attention and focus has been wonderful. I have transitioned from pharmaceuticals to herbal and dietary approaches to manage my high cholesterol and calcium deficiencies.
Digestive issues that have plagued me my entire life have disappeared. I am a dedicated user of the oils to ease arthritis pain.
I was so pleased with my results that I recommended Saumya Ayurveda to my daughters and my mother. My mother enjoys the tea, and the oil is working so well for the arthritis in her hands and shoulders that she has been able to stop using harsh pain medications. Veena is helping me to take care of myself and I am able to enjoy each day.”
“I worked with Veena to get out of my body’s fight or flight state due to feeling a lack of stability while being uprooted from a home for many years with a nomadic lifestyle.
She addressed digestion and hormones. It was a very nourishing experience that unlocked a lot of deeper truths that my body was ready to reveal. Thank you."
“I saw my doctor who advised me to double my dose of Zoloft. Somehow, that didn't sit well with me, so I found Veena at Saumya Ayurveda. Implementing her Ayurveda plan and working with my physician, after only two months, I was off Zoloft completely and sleeping well, feeling good, and loving myself. Veena has changed my life.
It's amazing how easy it is to integrate Veena's suggestions into my daily life. It's as though my body is saying to me, "Finally! Thank you for treating me better! This is what I've been wanting all along!"
The improvements in my digestion and sleep were felt not after a month, or a week, but I experienced immediate relief. Saumya Ayurveda should not, must not, be a secret! Thank you.”
"I had symptoms that my doctor couldn't figure out, and I needed answers. Right away when I worked with Veena, she had ideas and built a comprehensive plan for me.
I felt a lot of relief – and was very satisfied!"
