My Yoga teacher recommended an Ayurvedic-focused Retreat for stress & trauma healing. Instead of a…read more$$$ weekend away, I googled because doesn't NYC have everything? Found this business, conveniently located in Midtown / 34th St. and booked a massage. They had a May 2025 Special $195 (Regular $240) : Abhyanga (Massage) + Sound Healing ​(1.5hr) described specifically for release of stress & trauma. Online booking was very easy, but you do have to create an account & enter a cc for deposit. The "center"/ Spa? is on the 9th floor of a building, across from the Empire State Building) with other medical, holistic services and offices. My practitioner Tia? was calm and welcoming, offered medium temp water. Leave your shoes at the door! Small staff was dressed in black scrub uniforms. Appreciate the trendy black hair bow Tia! The Lobby was decorated with plants, eastern Asian trinkets, a whole wall of Ayurvedic beauty/health and food/herbal products. You'll have to fill out forms, the 2nd one determining your dosha & which kind of oils to use. AND apparently your doshas are different every day?! Expect a generous amount of oil used during treatment, and in your hair for scalp massage. Except for the light lavender facial massage part, the (nicely warmed) oils didn't have a strong fragrance & weren't too sticky or uncomfortable. My treatment room at the back of the lobby was fairly big, clean, and welcoming. Hooks for clothes, two chairs. There was enough room for the massage table and another table on the side wall with a long tube cover (maybe heat treatment?). FYI you're given a disposable paper thong because of the oil-based treatment (Note: wear clothes that you don't mind getting oil on, for the ride home). Prepare for a nice, thoughtful & kind treatment, but you can't be modest with this! The treatment started with some sound therapy - seemed like a high-pitched gong. Tia seemed to know every type of knot, acupressure point, other sensitive spots to release, with just the right amount of medium/hard pressure. There was constant refilling and mixing of the warm oil. I really appreciated her persistence, later using a hot stone to work deeper on one shoulder and scapula. Don't be modest here - because the knots in your butt, hips, & abdomen (lighter strokes) will be worked on - it's all connected. There was also some scalp massage, feet, and facial with lavender-scented oil & a warm poultice. Had another short session of sound therapy once you turnover. Very happy with this treatment! The practitioner was kind, knowledgeable (without saying much) and in tune with bodywork. The room was a good temperature, the sheets & pillows clean & comfy. The owner shared some insight about Ayurvedic practice afterwards. I look forward to coming back on my healing journey! The only thing I would change is to book a regular Abhyanga Massage, the sound therapy part was a small part of the treatment & overall something that probably needs dedicated time. They offer a lot on their services menu (which can be overwhelming to decide) & I'm not sure if the other smaller add-ons are worth it, maybe reflexology. Thanks NY Ayurvedic & Panchakarma Center!

I came there 100% healthy person with one concern i was not sleeping well at this period. What happening to me now is i am living in pain 24/7 and fighting god knows what. So what happened was... when i came healthy with one concern this "doctor" gave me 4 different supplements to start with and offered a food plan. Supplements she advised to purchase from them cause its better quality. When i was leaving they told me in case i have questions let them know. Which i did. I had questions during preparation period to start recommendations and food plan, i've emailed them, they didn't reply.. I emailed them 3 times and left voicemail only after they replied but their reply was without actual answers... well ok, i've pre And started in a week i started feeling huge discomfort following this food plan and i've emailed them big email describing my situation and asking for help and advice. I NEVER got reply at all. In 2-2.5 weeks i started having HEADACHES. I need to say that i am not having headaches at all, once in 1.5/2 years- so i am not a headache person at all. But here i've got to the point where my body STOPPED functioning due to the pain i am living in- i've never ever felt anything like that before. I couldn't understand what happening with me. To describe situation better- i eat healthy, don't drink at all, fitness, this period was stress free in my life i had vocation and i am again 100% healthy and its not what I think- i've actually REtook all tests when it started happening- blood,mri, eeg, xrayof neck region in case, neurological appointments etc...- nothing; even went to obgyn- HEALTHY!!! And here my doctor who happened to be Indian roots told me FIRST thing he've heard me saying where i went- DONT take their meds it cause lots of health problems, contain heavy metals etc. once I stopped taking these pills guess what it went away!!! I will collect all materials and i will get consultation how to open law case against them. You don't understand what i went through- one day pain got so bad that my friend literally saved me- cause I couldn't help myself i was not crying i was screaming with the sound going from my tummy area- I couldn't help my self i was i such pain that i couldst even do anything, and keep in mind that NOTHING was helping me at all- no medicaments AT ALL!! And believe me i've tried all!!! At that day my blood pressure went up to143/110. To say it was hell it say nothing.... So please make sure you NEVER USE ANY SERVICES OF THIS COMPANY THESE PEOPLE- they don't know what they doing- I lived it i mean it!!!! They don't give anything about you as a person or even a customer!! You pay extremely expensive and that what you get!!!!

For me, finding Dr. Rudra meant finding, finally, authentic healing for both my physical and mental…read moredistress. I trusted the process and experienced improvement beyond my wildest expectations after only a few weeks. This, after a decade long search for help. I found Dr. Rudra to be direct, not rude. She knows how to heal the body and for the minimal fees they charge, she doesn't waste time making small talk. The approach is completely different from how we do things in the west. Here, therapists coddle us, doctors over-medicate us and the root causes of whatever is ailing us go unattended. With Ayurveda you must choose to embrace new ways of behaving if you are going to feel better. If you are ready to truly honor your body with balance, I would look no further.

I lost my hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes to alopecia areata. I've had the condition for about 30 years but Covid triggered complete hair loss. I immediately felt a connection and trusted Dr. Ambika; she also revealed other health conditions I had not shared with her. I followed all her recommendations and completed panchakarma treatments with Arpita. I can proudly say after a year I have gained 100% of hair growth and feel so much better.

It has taken me years to write this because, quite frankly, I was traumatized. I wish I could give…read moreDr. Karuna zero stars. Dr. Karuna took advantage of my vulnerability in multiple ways. I went to her to feel safe and to address my health needs, but she was condescending, pushed several supplements, and came across as power and fame hungry. I felt that our dynamic was very inappropriate... dare I say groomed. She even claimed that my food allergies weren't "really" allergies and she could cure them. I am sure she has the right credentials (though I'd double check), but she lacks empathy and is exceptionally entitled. She would provide moments of kindness and then prey on me and others. I felt taken advantage of, and I do not want anyone else to be exposed to her very disrespectful practices but I know I'm not alone. And she was so aggressive with her communication style that it was borderline, scary. Do not just take my word for it; she has done this to others. Just read the other reviews. It is cult-like behavior if you remain around her long enough. Please go elsewhere.

I saw Dr Karuna for a very awkward appointment…read more In her office, she had me sit on a high medical table while she sat across the room on a low chair. The room was dim and she had more or less a spotlight on me. I felt very self conscious. I was fully clothed of course but this spotlight situation is pretty much how the whole appointment went for 2 hours... I came in with a very complex case history and a myriad of very severe and urgent medical problems. She told me that I was "just in time for her spring cleanse." I was wondering, how could my symptoms be just in time for your sale? This is one thing that turned me off to her practice. Ultimately she sent me away that day with pink Himalayan salt... when I was experiencing severe neurological blackouts.... The next thing is that her office assistant would not stop calling me after the first appointment. It was bordering on harassment. She said that Dr Karuna urgently needed to speak with me. When I asked what for, she said just come in for an appt. Well, the next appt was around $500... I said, if she urgently wants to speak with me, she's welcome to get on the phone with me. But, she never did. I never returned. One good thing I can say about Dr Karuna is that she told me to always believe in myself and my symptoms and never let a doctor tell me my symptoms were all in my head. It was an empowering talk. In any event, it turns out I have Lyme disease which she didn't bring up, mention or question in the entire 2 hours. One more dr who should have guessed it but didn't in the long list of doctors who missed my diagnosis, leading to late stage. Wish I could get my $ back from this practice to spend on treatments that would help my actual disease, but that would be like getting blood from a stone.
