AYURVEDIC
CONSULTATIONS

Dr. Cravatta has had the experience of taking more than 25,000 pulses. She has been given the siddhi to be able to practice Messenger Pulse. This allows her the ability to effectively do phone consultations. She is currently seeing patients in-person in Berkeley and Grass Valley, CA. Many have experienced the Messenger Pulse with Dr. Cravatta and have realized the benefits and effectiveness of this method of doing consultation.

The Initial Exam involves discussing your health history, your current health concerns, and your emotional well being. You will be asked about your dietary choices, exercise, and other aspects of your lifestyle.

Dr. Cravatta will then take your pulse to determine your Ayurvedic Body Type (Prakriti), Doshic imbalances (Vikriti) including Subdoshas and Dhatus (Tissues). The Pulse Reading may also indicate subtle emotional or mental blocks that may be hindering your personal growth.

She will then set up a healing routine that will be especially suited to your special needs. This might include: dietary recommendations, herbal therapy, lifestyle suggestions, cleansing techniques, or many other helpful tips for you to incorporate into your day.

Some will find it helpful to speak with Dr. Cravatta more frequently and for shorter duration. Others would like to have extended Re-Exams to be able to discuss all of their concerns at that time. Most Re-Exams will fall within the 55 minutes. The important thing is for you to have the time with Dr. Cravatta that will allow for your greatest progress.

It is generally recommended to have your first Re-Exam approximately 4 to 5 weeks after your Initial Exam. Future Re-Exams will be scheduled according to your health concerns.
