The Center For Sustainable Medicine is located in Santa Barbara, California, and is dedicated to partnering with you to create better health for you and our environment. We offer comprehensive health assessments for individual clients interested in making healthy changes in their lives, and provide clients with skills and tools to assure attaining and maintaining complete physical, mental, and emotional health.
Available now are individual consultations based in Ayurveda (check out the appointments page), individual Internal Medicine second opinion consultations, Osteopathic Manipulation treatments, individual or group nutrition and cooking classes (check out the classes page), and workshops on pretty much any health topic you’re interested in. I travel to speak at health events, to teach classes, and I write for publications. There are donation-based classes at Prana Santa Barbara, and free clinic sessions at local Yoga Soup to introduce Ayurveda in a fun and affordable way. This website is meant to present information that is free, helpful, and uplifting. Please browse around, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or would like more information!
Right now, the best way to learn to apply Ayurvedic skills to your own health is to come in for an individual consultation! I teach practical common sense skills to achieve and maintain good health, using many different Ayurvedic modalities depending on the root cause of each issue. Many times this involves any or all of the following personalized recommendations: nutrition information, sleep treatment, simple lifestyle changes, exercise recommendations, short term herbal supplements, counseling, or even cleansing routines to attain balance more quickly. Make an appointment today by emailing us through the Contact page, use the Appointment page links, or call 805-245-4291!
Our longer-term goal is to have a center for client consultations and treatments, with an on-site organic farm and cooking school- so stay tuned! Suggestions and comments are welcomed. Our main mission is to be partner with you to create positive change. Thank you for participating!

You look great. I hope all is well. I’m glad to see you’re doing something that really fulfills that holistic part of us that needs to treat all aspects of people’s lives not just their “medical” problems. I try to integrate that into my practice here… but you know how Texas is. People think you’re a terrible person if you want them to just limit fatty red meat… heaven forbid you expect exerciseing too. Good for you for standing by your guns!! I’m impressed.
Have a great weekend.

thanks kimberley- i figure i’ll just keep consistent and maybe someday someone will benefit
western med saves lives but has no tools to reverse disease that work consistently- ayurveda does and i hope i get to teach more soon! (p.s. if ya’ll ever want a course or workshop on it and how to save the hospital money i can always scoot down to texas 
)
