Start your journey to true wellness.

When these elements fall out of balance it can have a negative effect on both your mental and physical well-being. The philosophy of Ayurveda focuses on finding and rectifying the imbalances within the individual to achieve optimal health and well-being.

Ayurveda is an ancient healing system that means the science of life. According to Ayurveda everything is made up of five elements - earth, water, air, fire, and ether.

Drawing from over 15 years in healthcare, I have studied the human design from the outside in! After working as a biomedical engineer to understand the body's mechanical functions, I became interested in the mind, earning a PhD in public health specialising in mental health and addiction. These experiences first opened my eyes about the interconnected nature of the mind and body.

When I became frustrated by a lack of holistic solutions to my own health issues, I turned to Ayurveda and experienced transformative results within a short time. Inspired by this, I became a certified Ayurvedic Health Advisor and created my unique approach to holistic healthcare which merges the best of traditional medicine and modern science. I am dedicated to guiding others toward optimal health and longevity using the wisdom of natural, sustainable lifestyle practices.

  • “Dhanya helped me conceive naturally, and a great side effect is that my husband lost over 7kgs of excess weight. Her lifestyle advice and the great tips on food and spices have made a huge difference in our lives, and we recently welcomed our first child with joy!”

  • "Before I started with Dhanya I continually felt bloated and constipated, felt fatigued a lot and was a very poor sleeper. After working with Dhanya for only 3 months I can happily say that all these symptoms are much improved. Dhanya taught me how important digestion is, how it impacts all areas of your life and how to improve it. She has taught me about my unique constitution, foods, spices etc that work for me, and optimise how I feel. Dhanya is delightful to work with - extremely knowledgeable and always very positive and encouraging. The information is delivered in a gradual and thoughtful way. For anyone wanting to improve their health and wellbeing, I highly recommend working with Dhanya!"

  • “My sleep is better than it has been for the last 15 years, and I’m no longer hitting a wall in the afternoon and reaching for sugary snacks. I’m enjoying my mindful mealtimes with the recipes, and really noticed how much less bloated I feel.”

  • "At a routine check up, my doctor wanted to put me on cholesterol medication. I wanted to avoid this and opted for a dietary change coupled with exercise instead. When I researched how to do this, there were many differing opinions. Dhanya helped me take a holistic approach to dealing with the cholesterol issue. Her advice on the things that would help my cholesterol level such as breathing tips, diet and exercise really helped. The changes suggested for me were easily absorbed into my daily route which I still maintain. All of this made a significant change to my cholesterol level without medication."

  • "I first heard Dhanya speak earlier this year at the Warragul Wellness Centre. In her introduction to ayurveda, she outlined a life wisdom that I immediately wanted to know more about and an approach to adopting some of the practices that I wanted to try. She spoke with a knowing and a clarity that was very attractive. And what she said about ayurveda seemed to hold an answer to what I had been looking for on my own health seeking path. I have seen various alternative health practitioners over the decades and what I deeply appreciate about Prana Ayurveda’s offering is the self-empowering quality of the advice. You learn the tools to heal yourself that are then yours to keep and develop. After several sessions this year, there is now also the sense of being at the beginning of a whole new journey, an exploration of myself certainly but one also that allows a new and richer way of being in the world. It’s a bit different to having a treatment and taking vitamins!"

    RD, mum of three and cheese maker

  • “I have less bloating and discomfort, my periods are less painful, and I lost weight without intense exercise or diets. My self confidence and comfort with my body have really improved; I thought I was in a rut because of my weight but with some self care practices, I feel grounded and calm.”

    MP, 1:1 coaching client

  • "I am forever grateful to Dhanya and her 3 month course for getting me from feeling really crap with hormonal imbalances, bloating,constipation, blocked ear and headaches which led to me being literally off balance. I've been to other practitioners, but Dhanya got me back to my good old self, healthy gut, clear sinuses, hormones supergood to being more balanced, i can't believe I have waited this long to change into a more healthier way of life, Dhanya, my go to superchic for health and wellbeing."

    From Ever So Lucky, photographer and yoga teacher

  • "Dhanya did a remarkable job of teaching me to think about health first and to listen to my body, after years and years of obsessing about my weight only. There have been so many lessons and I have gone from feeling completely depleted, to having enough energy as a busy working mum. Thanks so much, Dhanya!"

    DF, mum of two and media executive

  • "I had been looking for support with my weight and thyroid issues with a lifestyle that didn’t need me to count calories and give up dairy (which I thought was bothering my stomach). Working with Dhanya, I discovered it was not what I was eating, but HOW that was at the root of my discomfort. I no longer worry about calories because I can recognise hunger and satiation, and niggling issues such as sinus congestion and caffeine dependence have also been resolved! I’m eating fresh meals and even transitioned off the birth control pill with ease.”
