The Wisdom of Ayurveda: Ancient Medicine for Modern Balance

At Portland Healing Space, Emilie Berger creates personalized Ayurvedic guidance that addresses digestive issues, stress, sleep disruption, hormonal shifts, and emotional overwhelm through practical, sustainable strategies.

Through personalized wellness plans that include food guidance, lifestyle support, herbal remedies, yoga, and breathwork, Emilie empowers clients to care for themselves in sustainable, intuitive ways.
