Ancient Medicine. Present Clarity.
Personalised Ayurvedic consultation in Auckland, Wellington, and online across New Zealand.
Classical Ayurvedic Assessment
Every engagement begins with a full assessment — not a generic questionnaire. We uncover your unique constitution using time-honoured diagnostic methods.
Evidence-Aware Guidance
Practical, evidence-aware recommendations suited to everyday life — without sacrificing the depth of the tradition.
5000+ Years of Tradition
An ancient, time-tested medical system that originated over 5,000 years ago in India, now integrated into a modern Western context.
Sahana runs deeper than wellness.
Sahana — Sanskrit for patience, endurance, and the ability to bear — reflects the essence of true healing. In Ayurveda, lasting wellness is not achieved through quick fixes, but through patient, sustained nourishment of the body's tissues (dhatus) to build lasting resilience, restore vitality, and address disease at its root rather than at the level of symptoms alone.
At Sahana Therapeutics, that is the only standard we work to. Every consultation begins with who you are constitutionally, not just what you are experiencing today.
What a Consultation Actually Involves
Available in person in Auckland and Wellington, and online nationwide. Every engagement begins with a full assessment, not a generic questionnaire.
Initial Consultation
A thorough first session covering Prakriti (your constitutional type), Vikruti (current imbalance), Agni (digestive capacity), and lifestyle. You leave with a clear, practical plan.
Treatment Plan
Your plan draws on classical Ayurvedic tools — dietary and seasonal adjustments, herbal formulas, Dinacharya (daily routine), and therapies matched to your constitution.
Follow-up Support
Sustained guidance as your health evolves. Follow-up sessions track progress, refine protocols, and deepen your practice over time.

Kind Words from Our Clients
Read experiences from clients who have integrated our therapies into their journeys of restoring inner balance.
"I'm so glad I decided to try those herbal remedies with you. Not just It helped immensely with my runny nose condition, I must say I felt better overall. I think it also helped regulate my bowel movements, and the schedule of remedies sort of made me drink lots of water so I stayed well hydrated (this helped me reduce the number of tea/coffee I took, which was added benefit 😊) Thanks again for introducing me to these natural remedies. I'm looking forward to our next consultation."
"After I started taking the herbs you provided me with, I started feeling much better within the first three days. Also I felt more energetic throughout the time I was taking the herbs and I think it also helped my acid reflux. I also get headaches sometimes due to gastric issues but throughout the treatment I did not see any headaches. So overall I think I felt so much better and I am still feeling better even though I have finished the herbs."
"Shanali is wonderful. Very knowledgeable and has been living the lifestyle forever. Shanali is very kind and gentle in her recommendations and suggestions not making sweeping changes or suggesting a heap of tonics or tinctures all at once."
"Friendly and professional consultation; I feel understood and can already see improvements after a couple of weeks of treatment."
"Shanali is a huge part of my wellbeing journey and I would recommend her to anyone looking for holistic healing and wellbeing."
