what is the ancient art of Ayurvedic pulse?
Ayurvedic pulse reading, or Nadi Pariksha, is a traditional method of assessing a person’s physical, emotional, and energetic health by gently feeling the pulse at the radial artery with three fingers. This practice listens for subtle qualities in the flow of blood — its rhythm, tone, temperature, and movement — to reveal underlying patterns within the body. Tapping into the signs related to hormonal balance, tissue vitality, glandular function, the state of both superficial and deep organ systems, elemental constitution, and the overall harmony of the body’s major systems. Gain insight into the root causes of disharmony/illness and support a path of healing that is aligned with the individual’s unique constitution and current state.​
Working with the Pulse
To sit with the pulse is to enter into a kind of quiet remembering — a return to the ancient language of the body.
This work is not about intervention. It’s about deep listening.
The pulse holds the stories of how we live, how we move through the world, what we carry, and what we’ve tucked away. It speaks in textures and waves, in rhythms and silences. Not just of the physical — though the physical is always there — but of the emotional, mental, and even spiritual patterns woven into the fabric of the body.
Working with the pulse is an invitation to soften. To peel back the layers of noise and urgency. To step outside of systems that demand fixing and instead remember the intelligence that already lives within you.
My role is not to solve or to tell, but to witness. To sit with what arises. To offer reflection, herbal allies, or shifts in rhythm if they are called for — but more than anything, to hold a space where the quietest parts of you can speak freely, and be heard.
It is a conversation. It is a collaboration.
It is a practice of remembering that your body has always known the way.
