A Foundational Text for Nervous-System–Informed Practice

Somatic Ayurvedic Bodywork is a practical and integrative guide to rhythm-based oil therapy rooted in classical Ayurveda and informed by modern somatic understanding.

This book explores the foundations of touch, oil application, marma awareness, pacing, and practitioner presence. It bridges traditional Ayurvedic principles with nervous system literacy, offering bodyworkers a clear framework for creating grounded, restorative sessions.

Rather than presenting techniques in isolation, the text emphasizes preparation, regulation, and integration — supporting practitioners in developing depth, sensitivity, and clinical discernment.
