Inspired by Ayurveda, the ancient Science of Life from India, and drawing on the best of nature's healing traditions, Marin Ayurveda provides a bridge between the holistic practices of the past and the future.

Marin Ayurveda is located in the beautiful and relaxing environment of Marin County, in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Marin Ayurveda offers a range of Ayurvedic services, such as consultation, rejuvenation therapies, massage, yoga and meditation. We offer panchakarma and other individualized cleansing packages, based on your specific needs. Sessions are offered in Larkspur, next to the Stress Management Center, in a beautiful natural environment, overlooking a large flowering field, shaded by old oak trees, giving a real retreat experience. On a regular basis Ayurvedic cooking classes are offered at different locations in Marin County.

Founder and practitioner of Marin Ayurveda, Simone de Winter, is a graduate from the California College of Ayurveda and has continued her studies with teachers like dr. Vasant Lad, Candis Cantin, Jaisri Lambert, dr. Robert Svoboda, and in India, in the practices of local Ayurvedic doctors. She has an extensive background in yoga, having practiced for almost 20 years. Her main influences are Sarah Powers, Georg Feuerstein, Maritza and Richard Miller. When working with her clients, Simone draws from both these traditions.

Marin Ayurveda welcomes you to a lifestyle of balance, offering ancient wisdom for modern living.

Simone de Winter is an excellent practitioner of the healing arts of Ayurveda. She meets, and even exceeds, the standards of treatments set by leaders in this field.

Every step of the treatment she does with great care and precision. While she has mastered traditional techniques and procedures, her work is informed by a sensitivity and responsiveness which goes beyond normal expectations of professionalism. She embodies the highest level of attention and caring for her client.

Simone's knowledge of the field is extensive. Herbs, massage techniques, healthy diet, yoga philosophy and meditation are all deeply familiar to her. Her ability to integrate methodical study and practice with a listening, compassionate approach is one of her strong points. Drawing on all the aspects of Ayurveda, she seeks to understand the wholeness of the person with whom she works, and thus tunes her treatment and her counsel to their particular needs.

I heartily recommend her work in the ancient art of healing.
