Ayurveda: (ī'yər-vā'də) The Sanskrit term typical translated to mean “the science of life”. Ayurveda is India's traditional, natural system of medicine that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. Ayurveda provides an integrated approach to preventing and treating illness through lifestyle interventions and natural therapies.

Vedic Astrology, called Jyotisha in Sanskrit, refers to the mystical and physical light of the Sun, stars, moon and planets. Jyotisha illuminates our life's purpose through realizing right action, bringing peace and happiness into our lives.

Happiness as a quest advances spiritual and emotional growth as well as physical health and well-being. Happiness as a search is experienced through love, relationship and work. The planets and stars associated with happiness, love and work are uniquely placed within each birth-chart.

Frank, accessible recommendations are given according to each person's chart, immediately balancing the inner, personal life with the outer, collective experience of the world. Remedies and recommendations are rooted in the traditional wisdom system of yoga and the ancient health-care practices of ayurveda.  

Melanie says, “I help people see hidden, subtle and unique patterns at play in their lives as well as the larger, group forces, through the medium of Vedic Astrology. Your astrological reading brings to light; cosmic forces at play in your life, helping you understand and resolve obstacles to peace and contentment in relationship and in career.”
