Our Services
Ayurveda or “science of life” is a tradition of health and well being that has been practiced in India for thousands of years. Here health is a dynamic balance of three natural forces known as the doshas. They are vata (movement), pitta (transformation), and kapha (structure). Treatments help to rebalance these natural forces and allow the mind/body complex to experience deep rest and rejuvenation.
Andrew Nunberg is the owner of Hands, Heart & Soul. He was first introduced to Yoga and meditation in 1998 and received his first Ayurvedic treatment in 1999. Ever since then, Andy has had a keen interest in Ayurveda. A scientist by training, he combines modern, rational understanding with ancient wisdom to help people maintain optimal levels of health and happiness.
Andy is a certified instructor in mindfulness/meditation and yoga through the Art of Living Foundation. He has been teaching various classes and workshops for the past 15 years. He is trained to give Ayurvedic treatments through the Sri Sri Ayurveda Institute for Education and Wellness.

Abhyanga
(Oil Massage)
90 MINUTES • $108
Abhyanga is a dance of warm oil over the entire body. It is held in high regard for its rejuvenating properties. It tones the muscles, nourishes the skin and the 7 Dhatus(tissues) and brings about relaxation of mind and body. Toxins are gently guided toward the digestive system to be eliminated. After the treatment you can rest to integrate the benefits of the treatment into your physiology. Regular abhyanga helps keep the doshas in balance.
Head and Foot Abhyanga
30 MINUTES • $54
A great introduction to the full abhyanga treatment. The head, hands and feet are massaged with warm oil.
Shirodhara
(Bliss Therapy)
60 MINUTES • $108
Shiro means “head”. Shirodhara is the continuous pouring of warm herbal oil on the forehead in various patterns. This is the preferred manner to reduce stress and induce a state of deep relaxation. It is good for any condition affecting the head region.
Royal Treatment
(Abhyanga + Shirodhara)
135 MINUTES • $200
Feel like royalty with this stress-relieving and rejuvenating potent duo. This combination was the choice treatment of kings and queens of ancient India. We start with abhyanga, full body oil massage and then follow it with shirodhara (bliss therapy).
Marma
(Mind/Body Reset)
60 MINUTES • $108 / 30 MINUTES • $54
Through the power of benevolent touch, the hidden doorways (marma) to our life energy (prana) is stimulated to create a chain of positive events. Blocks in prana and imbalances in the doshas are rectified. This allows our mind and our body to reset and restore itself at a very deep level.
Lotus Blossom
(Abhyanga + Marma)
135 MINUTES • $200
A more powerful experience of rest and rejuvenation awaits you as we first nourish and soothe the body with Abhyanga and attend to the subtler aspects with Marma. Abhyanga settles us down and makes us more receptive to the positive changes that are evoked by Marma.
Swedana
(Steam Therapy)
30 MINUTES • $54
Our steam treatments are given on the massage table using a special tent allowing the head to remain cool. Swedana opens up channels in the body producing sweat and releasing impurities. It is excellent for soreness, aches and pains and helps balance Vata and Kapha doshas. Essential oils are added as per the need of the client.
Basti
(Oil Pooling)
45 MINUTES • $85
Dough is used to create a well that is placed on a small area of the body and filled with warm herbal oil. The warmth of the oil allows the soft tissue to release and the oil helps nourish the tissues and facilitates the removal of toxins. Bastis may help with chronic back pain and can be done for the lower, middle , and upper back. Other areas may be accommodated as well.
Karna Purna
Grounding the Senses
45 MINUTES • $85
Overuse of any of the 5 senses leads to imbalances in the mind and in Vata dosha. Karna purna is filling the ear with herbal oil along with massage of the head, neck and shoulders to help steady and ground the senses and the mind. It creates a protective quiet stillness allowing the mind and the senses to come back to their source. Excellent for balancing Vata and for those who travel frequently.
