The Ancient Science
What is Ayurveda?
The word Ayurveda is Sanskrit: "Ayuh" meaning life, and "veda" meaning knowledge. This 6,000-year-old science, rooted in the ancient Vedic texts, is the world's oldest comprehensive healthcare system, indigenous to India and now recognised worldwide as a leading discipline of alternative medicine.
Ayurveda is based on the belief that all life forms have a "dosha" — a unique mix of energies known as vata, pitta and kapha. An Ayurvedic therapist focuses on the "marma points", akin to pressure points in reflexology and acupressure, to heal and restore balance to the entire being.

Preetam was born in Mauritius into a Hindu family and spent several years in the Ashram of Mata Amritanandamayi, known as Amma 'The Hugging Saint'. He studied Ayurvedic principles under Dr Deepika Rodrigo, founder of the Ayurveda Institute UK, gaining his diploma in Ayurvedic Massage and Marma Therapy in 2009.
He has since practiced across the U.K., Canary Islands, Mauritius, Seychelles, and mainland Spain, where he now resides. With his mobile massage table, he is happy to come to you.
