🌸 Meet the wonderful Aki! 🌸

Our long-standing Lakshmi Clinic clients will know her well! 🥰 Aki has been one of the very first therapists to work alongside Karin at Lakshmi, bringing her warmth, dedication and healing touch to our clinic for over 13 years.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our team. 💗🙌

Originally from Japan, Aki is a senior Ayurvedic therapist whose gentle, caring nature helps you feel nurtured, relaxed and rejuvenated. 🪷

✨ Today, Aki prepared for her first client booked for a double-knee Janu Basti!

🌿 What is Janu Basti?

Janu Basti is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment for the knee joints. A ring made from dough is placed around the knee, creating a reservoir into which warm, medicated oil is gently poured and retained for a prescribed period.

This soothing treatment may help ease knee discomfort, stiffness and tension, supporting joint mobility and relaxation. The choice of oil and treatment approach is tailored to the individual.

At Lakshmi, Janu Basti is followed by a localised massage and Nadi Sveda - a localised herbal steam treatment - to complement the therapy.

💗 Curious whether Janu Basti is right for you?

We recommend speaking with one of our practitioners first so we can assess your individual needs and determine whether this treatment is suitable for you.

Bookings are available through our website.

We are so grateful to have Aki’s experience, kindness and beautiful healing presence as part of the Lakshmi team. 🌸🙏

Come in… this is a day in the life of our students 🤍
In the morning, the kitchen fills with the scent of herbs. Karin guides our students step by step through classical formulations.

Hands on the spoon, stirring, asking, watching it transform. This is Āyurveda as it has always been passed on: by hand, with patience and intention.
And then, the heart of it all ✨

Our students sit with real clients. They take the full history, observe and make their own assessment. Then they bring every case back to the circle to review it together with Karin as their mentor.

What did you notice? What did you miss? What would you recommend, and why?

This is how real confidence is built. Not alone behind a screen, but in clinic, in community, one case at a time 🌿
If you’ve been dreaming of studying Āyurveda deeply, in a way that lives in your hands and your heart, this is your sign 💛

✨ Enrolments are now open for our Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant Course ✨

📍 Lakshmi Āyurveda, Perth

We just recently had another graduate from our Ayurvedic Lifestyle Course! A big congrats to Maria - we are so proud of you and can’t wait to see how you continue to share this wisdom ✨🌿💞 Sacred Balance Ayurveda Maria Bella

Our Ayurvedic Lifestyle Course is designed to take you deep into the heart of classical authentic Ayurveda, offering a transformative journey into holistic health and self-discovery 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Read about Maria’s experience with the course below 👇🏼

“I’ve just completed my Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant studies, and it has been such a beautiful and enriching journey. 
The course offered a wonderful balance between theory and practical hours at the clinic in Fremantle, bringing the teachings to life through hands-on experience.
I especially loved learning about Ayurvedic herbs and exploring the deeper wisdom of Ayurveda, not only as an approach to wellbeing, but as a way of understanding ourselves, our connection to nature and the rhythms of life.
Karin’s knowledge, experience and guidance have deepened my appreciation for this ancient tradition and the importance of caring for each person as an individual.
 I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and feel inspired to share this wisdom with others, supporting greater balance in body, mind and spirit.”

✨ Celebrating the 11th World Ayurveda Day in Perth! ✨

What a beautiful Saturday afternoon filled with joy, connection and a shared love for Ayurveda! 💗

It was wonderful to come together with our Perth Ayurveda community to celebrate the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda and the people who continue to keep this beautiful tradition alive.

A heartfelt thank you to our Chief Guest, Mr Naresh Kumar, representing the Consulate General 🇮🇳, for joining us on this special occasion. 🙏

A big thank you to the Australasian Association of Ayurveda (AAA) Australasian Association of Ayurveda Inc. for making this celebration possible. Organising events like these takes so much dedication, effort and heart. A special thank you to Dr Vidhu, the driving force behind this wonderful gathering, for bringing us all together! 🌿

For those of us in the WA Ayurveda community, it is truly special to have celebrated this occasion together for more than a decade. Year after year, we come together to share knowledge, celebrate and reconnect with friends.

Remembering Dr Krishna Kumar 🙏

These celebrations also hold a very special place in our hearts as we remember Dr Krishna Kumar, Patron of the Australasian Association of Ayurveda (AAA).

A visionary, teacher and guiding light, Dr Krishna Kumar dedicated his life to the preservation, promotion and practice of authentic Ayurveda in Australia and beyond. His wisdom, passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and his legacy lives on through everyone who carries Ayurveda forward.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this year’s celebration so joyful, meaningful and memorable

We are already looking forward to celebrating together again next year!.
With Love, Karin 💛

It’s Day 2 of our Certified Ayurvedic Facial Therapist Course 🙌🏼💕✨

Our students are deep into their learning and hands-on practice, supported every step of the way by Karin as they learn this luxurious treatment 💫

Facial massage offers so many benefits, including 👇🏼
• Anti-aging support
• Calming emotions
• Promoting healthy skin and a natural radiant glow
• Supporting good sleep and overall longevity

As part of the curriculum, we use Kumkumadi Thailam - the queen of Ayurvedic facial oils. It is our absolute favourite and most highly recommended beauty oil, celebrated for its complexion-enhancing qualities. The star ingredient is saffron (known as Kumkuma or Keshar in Sanskrit), which gives the oil its signature gentle red tint ❣️

Kumkumadi Thailam helps enhance skin tone, support depigmentation, reduce the signs of aging, soothe acne and scarring, and provide an even, luminous complexion 😍 All you need is a few drops each evening, smoothed into a light layer across the skin.

Before applying the oil, we suggest prepping the skin with our Lakshmi-made Varnya Lepa face pack to cleanse and exfoliate. These herbs belong to the Varnya group described in the Charaka Samhita (Sutra Sthana, Chapter 4). Our absolute favourite herbs in this blend include chandana (sandalwood), ushira, madhuka (licorice), manjistha, and sariva - and it smells heavenly! 🌱🌿
