AYURVEDIC WELLNESS - MARMA THERAPY
Ayurveda: Timeless Wisdom for Modern Living
At Apurva Wellness, Board Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner Ileana Gonzalez helps you restore balance in body, mind, and spirit using the time-tested tools of Ayurveda. Serving Annapolis, Maryland and Reston, Virginia, we offer marma therapy, one-on-one lifestyle mentoring, and Ayurveda education.
Ayurveda, the ancient “science of life,” teaches that your daily habits — how you eat, sleep, move, and rest — directly shape your health and vitality. When your lifestyle aligns with the rhythms of nature, the result is greater energy, resilience, and ease at every stage of life.


Marma Therapy - Healing for Mind and Body
Marma therapy is a gentle, non-invasive Ayurvedic treatment that works with the body's vital energy points — the marma points — to release tension and restore the natural flow of prana, or life force.
Through light, deliberate touch, marma therapy helps calm the nervous system and invite stagnant energy to move freely again. Many clients turn to it for relief from stress, anxiety, fatigue, and everyday aches — or simply to feel more grounded and renewed.
Unlike more forceful bodywork, marma therapy asks only for your stillness. It's a natural, restorative way to reconnect with your whole self: body, mind, and spirit.

1:1 Lifestyle Mentoring
In an Ayurvedic lifestyle mentoring session, we take a close, honest look at your daily life — because in Ayurveda, everything counts. Together we explore your diet, digestion, sleep, movement, energy, emotions, and relationships to uncover the habits and patterns (samskaras) that may be keeping you from feeling your best.
From there, we identify simple, sustainable shifts that support your unique constitution (prakriti) and bring you back toward balance. You'll leave your first session with clear, personalized recommendations on diet, herbs, and daily practices.
Who is it for? Anyone who suspects their current routines aren't supporting their well-being — especially if you're noticing changes in sleep, digestion, energy, or mood. Many so-called modern “lifestyle” conditions can be eased with the right adjustments.
Sessions are available virtually or in person in Annapolis, MD and Reston, VA. For lasting results, I recommend an initial consultation plus two follow-up sessions.
