The practices, routines and medicine of Ayurveda have changed my life. Asavari is a highly skilled provider. I appreciate her consideration to the nuance and complexity of a person's whole being and her ability to tailor recommendations and treatments to my changing needs. I recommend working with Asavari in your exploration and use of Ayurvedic medicine!

Google review:
I was having GI trouble. My primary care doc is trained in integrative medicine and, unfortunately, the results of the tests she did were inconclusive. So she recommended Ayurveda, which brought up a new challenge for me.
I know how to find an Ayurvedic doctor in India, but how do I find a suitable one locally? I had two major criteria: Excellent training and a kind and caring person. And I found just the right person.
Dr. Asavari Manvikar fits both criteria.
She trained in India at a premier institution in Pune, India, getting both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Her thesis was awarded a gold medal by the Institute of Medicine. She served as a Doctor of Ayurveda Medicine, faculty member at an Ayurveda college where she conducted and published research on integrative approaches for illnesses like cancer and diabetes. Then she trained in the US in integrative medicine—great! Now, she teaches a graduate level class in Ayurveda at the Univ of MN. Wonderful qualifications!
As soon as I met her, I knew I had found the person I wanted to work with. She was warm and very easy to talk with. She listened very well and was respectful and kind. In all of our interactions, I have felt very comfortable and well cared for and listened to.
I have found Ayurveda to be extremely helpful and my GI system is much more resilient now. Of course, after a life time of GI troubles, I knew it would take a while and, indeed, it did. After a couple of years I noticed that I was much more resilient. Not just my GI system (fewer tummy upsets, able to eat more things than before w/o stomach issues) but my immune system as well. My allergies were much better, my sleep improved and I had more energy. I have been able to stay off strong Western medicines—they helped me when I needed them but I did not want to be on them forever. And the changes from Ayurvedic treatments have held over time and I feel so much better. I am so glad I am using Ayurveda and very grateful to be working with such a competent and caring professional.
If you are looking for a natural approach to helping your body, I suggest trying Ayurveda. It is gentle and takes a holistic approach addressing mind, body and spirit. And I strongly recommend you seek treatment from Dr. Manvikar. I know you will like her and she will help you. I wish you all the best on your healing journey.

I had my first experience of marma massage and janubasti recently with Asavari. The whole session was very comfortable, relalxing and uplifting. The marma massage, a very slow, gentle massage of my face, shoulders and scalp, felt wonderful. The janubasti, an oil treatment on my knees for arthritis (especially in my right knee) was quite soothing. The scent of jasmine and the lovely music made it a sublime experience. Afterward, I felt relaxed and energized, and I noticed that my right knee felt lighter, less swollen and more mobile.

When I saw Dr. Manvikar about 9 months back; I was frustrated with western medicine. I was having skin rashes, GI issues( food intolerances), high B.P, hot flashes, & dry cough for 2 years. My western doctors were breaking me to pieces to fix each thing individually w/o realizing that it was all linked. It was not working.
I feel Ayurveda's holistic approach is what I needed. Dr. Manvikar is patient, calm and her excellent background are the right tools to identify and take me towards healing. All my issues are much more under control with some life style changes and herbs.

Asavari’s knowledge and application of Ayurveda is amazing. She takes into consideration all aspects of your life when writing your wellness prescriptions which vary from lifestyle changes, herbs, yoga postures, breathe, cleanses. I had a bad case of eczema that we treated with a variety of approaches and I’m so thankful!!! I continue to work with her on my digestion and overall well being.
