Simple Ayurveda - Avurvedic Practitioner Sussex

Simple Ayurveda is the practice of Julie Ulbricht, Ayurvedic Practitioner, working in London and Sussex: "My aim is to apply the understanding that Ayurveda brings in a practical way, with simple steps to help transform your life, so that you can experience the greatest physical and emotional well being."

I was attracted to Ayurveda for two reasons: Firstly, because of the deep insights it offers into our behaviours and choices: in short, what makes us tick. And secondly, because I responded instinctively to something it offered, something I had perhaps been longing for all my life: a deep connection to the heart. This seems to be something that many of us lack in the West, despite the abundance of choices open to us and our relative affluence.

I have been practising Ayurveda since 2010 and am a full member of the Ayurvedic Professionals Association. Following my deep interest in the connection between body, mind and emotions, I trained in the Amnanda Process and Family Constellations and I offer these tools to work with the trauma which often underlies health issues.

What is it that is not working for you?

Is it physical? Digestive problems, chronic health issues, insomnia, food intolerances....

Is it emotional? Stress, anxiety, mood swings, irritability, frustration, grief....

Is it mental? Difficulty making decisions, feeling stuck or lost/confused....

From an Ayurvedic perspective our mental, emotional and physical well-being are interlinked. The frustration with a job or spouse may trigger acid indigestion, just as stress can give rise to insomnia. But just as mind and emotions can influence our physical state, so too can our physical state influence our mind and emotions: poor digestion can lead to anxiety, and the wrong balance of foods can make us feel ungrounded, or conversely, lethargic.

Using the healing tools of Ayurveda: diet, lifestyle advice and treatments, we can restore balance. But according to Ayurveda we should “first address the cause.” So if the job or relationship issue is the root cause then it is useful to explore whether something can shift – either externally (by e.g changing job) or internally (by changing our attitude).

This is why I offer a range of tools to work within the framework of Ayurveda to address the root cause of any problem.
