About Us
Centrally located at 98 Main Street in downtown Northampton, Valley Ayurveda is the Pioneer Valley’s first full-service Ayurvedic Wellness Center.
Our mission is simple: to offer comprehensive Ayurvedic health services to our clients, forge relationships with the larger health community in the area, and operate as conscious caretakers of this planet.
Our comprehensive services are really just that: comprehensive! But most importantly, our primary focus is YOU – the gloriously unique individual that you are! Because we know that each of you approach your health maintenance in different ways, we provide a variety of ways you can experience Ayurveda.

Is there some other way you need to be supported?
Let us know! We’ll work with you to create a program that works perfectly for YOU.
We also know that most of you assemble a variety of health-care practitioners to guide you on your journey to whole wellness. You likely have a General Practitioner who oversees the larger picture of your healthcare. You might work with specialists – allopathic or complementary – for specific ailments or issues. With your permission, we are delighted to include them in the conversations we have with you, particularly your allopathic doctors. We believe strongly that Ayurveda complements every other medical discipline, and we value the opportunity to create dialogue, even if that just means sending a quick treatment summary to keep in your medical records.
Finally, Ayurveda teaches us that we are a microcosm of the larger macrocosm of this planet – and as such, we feel obligated to tread as lightly and with as much respect as we can.
We’re renovating our space using as many green materials as possible, including paint and floor finishes. We work with printers who use recycled-content papers and environmentally-friendly inks. Our website is hosted with Hostgator which purchases Renewable Energy Credits for up to 130% of its energy use. Our office supplies will always be “green.” Our retail area will be stocked with earth-friendly products, and we even have a program that lets you bring back an empty oil bottle (originally purchased at Valley Ayurveda) and receive a discount on the refill. In every way we can, we’ll work to create an environment that promotes harmony with the earth – an important and sacred step in creating harmony in our personal lives.
Please Note! Our space is not currently handicap accessible - it's a problem, we know, and we debated for a long time about whether or not that should be a deal killer. In the end, after looking at just about every available space in Northampton and Florence, we decided it was better to open at this location than not to open at all. We're currently exploring various options to solve this problem, including finding a way to have access to the elevator in the building next door or possibly installing a chair lift on the staircase.
Until we find a solution, however, please know that Ayurveda is ultimately portable and we are more than happy to come to you wherever you are or find an alternative site at which to meet.
Just let us know - we'll do whatever it takes to bring Ayurveda to you!
