Our Journey & Mission

Dedicated to health, healing, and rejuvenation through the timeless science of Ayurveda since 1992.

The Beginning

Bringing Ancient Wisdom to Modern Lives

Ayurveda Plus was founded to serve as a bridge between the profound, ancient science of Ayurveda and the fast-paced realities of modern living. We believe that perfect health is not merely the absence of disease, but a dynamic state of balance between mind, body, and consciousness.

Over the decades, we have focused on helping clients truly heal themselves through deep education, highly focused and personalized consultations, and profound traditional therapies. Our approach is never a "quick fix," but a sustainable lifestyle transformation tailored to your unique Prakriti (constitution).

Richard Haynes

Founder

I began Ayurveda Plus in 1992. Beginning in October 2018, Richard will be seeing clients the last week of each month and turning over my practice to others. I am pleased to welcome Hiranya Govardhanam to Ayurveda Plus.

Over the years our scope and practice has increased to offer Panchakarma rejuvenation therapies, private yoga and ayurveda with Gianna Piccardo and Homeopathy with Dr. Malcolm Smith. I believe my approach to Ayurveda that incorporates modern technology to verify and track each person's journey allows for a deeper experience and a speedier return to balance.

Many of my clients have seen other practitioners prior to seeing me. They always tell me that seeing instant, objective confirmation of their experience brings new insights and inspiration that they did not receive in prior consultations.
