Shivani Ayurveda Vision:

TO PROVIDE IN-DEPTH AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND TO EXCEL IN THE RANGE OF HEALTH SERVICES.

Our Mission

To help empower our patients with the issues they would like to heal, and help them reach optimal levels of health through our treatments.
To achieve this we uniquely combine ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with a modern psychological approach, well suited to the contemporary needs and lifestyles of the times. We gently encourage our clients to embrace their individuality and support them throughout the holistic process. With this method and our highly professional approach we have become the preferred choice for those looking for deeper understanding and personalized treatment to address, stabilize and balance their health.

Our Values

Love and Support in the process

A loving atmosphere and positive support while helping our patients find their way back to health is a priority for the team at Shivani Ayurveda. We believe that a calm and relaxing environment reinforces the process of opening up mentally and emotionally as we attend to the physical progress of every patient. We enjoy our work and wholeheartedly strive to make your stay in the Clinic - and the treatment itself - into a comfortable and pleasant experience for all who trust us on the path to optimal precious health. 

Respect and Equality

Indian culture traditionally stands for courtesy and respect towards all people. We traditionally see goodness in every human being. Insisting on equality, we at Shivani Clinic take a committed non-biased approach to treatment. Our Shivani Ayurveda team accepts evenly every patient, regardless of nationality, religion, caste, gender, financial status - or their initial state of health in body and mind. In this way, we embrace uniqueness, and the right of each person to have access to the means to be healthy.

Responsibility and Quality of Treatment

Shivani’s style is based on the deep knowledge and the long-term clinical practice and experience of our doctors, as well as on the experience and careful training of our therapists. We take keen responsibility for establishing carefully considered and individualised treatment, as our goal is the ultimate health and well-being of every patient who presents. We do our very best to deliver the highest quality work with the finest selection of herbal medications available.

Harmony – the Holistic Approach

Balance in all body systems including the mind is an essential condition to attaining optimal health. By combining classical techniques of physical treatment with Ayurvedic psychology, we seek to deepen the client’s own grasp of the problem at every level comprehensively, and take full care of our patients at all times. It is our belief that harmony between body mind and spirit is a direct path to happiness.

Self-empowerment – an Independent path towards Health

In order to sustain our patients’ wellness after their treatment in Shivani Ayurveda, we provide professional, safe tools and teach you how to use them conscientiously, on a daily basis. By cooperating with the clinic’s team at the beginning, our patients gently discover their own path towards having a stronger body and a clearer, more powerful mind. We firmly believe that everybody should eventually be ready and able to take their personal healthcare into their own hands, and know how to maintain it.

HISTORY OF THE CLINIC

• Shivani Ayurveda was established in 2001. At that time, dr Mahesh Kumar started a small village clinic in Upla, Maharashtra. Two years of gaining experience were enough to enable him to move up to the North India, in Bhagsunag, Himachal Pradesh, in 2003. This was the moment when dr Shivani Sood joined the team, after completing her studies.

• Since 2006 Shivani Ayurveda is also affiliated with health centers and yoga centers around the world, who support and promote our style of treatment. International collaborations started with Sweden and Denmark, to give the voice to our Ayurvedic knowledge, and con-tinue with various countries. Dr Shivani Sood and dr Mahesh Kumar are successively visit-ing to Europe and USA to see patients and spread their unique style of treatment.

• 2008 was a historic year: dr Sood and dr Kumar created their own treatment faculty and education center amidst nature and hosted visitors from various prestigious groups, like Kahuna Valley, headed by Francesco Garripoli. As for them self-education is an important part of the professional progress, together they made some great clinical studies and sur-veys.

• This collaboration had a satisfying continuation in 2009, when the doctors visited back Ka-huna Valley and organized Panchakarma for local patients. As a world widely recognized authority in Ayurveda, dr Shivani Sood was invited to give a guest lecture in Kauai Wellness Expo, led by dr Deepak Chopra.

• The same year they completed construction of Shivani Clinic, finally being able to host their patients in the well adapted space and to offer them the highest standards of treatment.

• In 2013, in order to provide the best comfort to Shivani Ayurveda’s increasing number of guests, dr Sood and dr Kumar lead the construction of a 14-rooms hotel. The Hotel Shivani International was open in 2014, and since then is hosting many guests and patients from all around the world. Thanks of Dal Falco, a special Ayurvedic food is served to patients during the detoxification.

• In the aim of spreading modern, feminine approach to traditional Ayurvedic wisdom, in 2015 dr Sood started to write a book on women health, entitled Maternity with Ayurveda, along with her co-author from Poland. The book is going to be published in Poland , as well as in United States of America soon.

• From the 2017 onwards Shivani Ayurveda is meant to acquire new connections in various European countries, with the goal of expanding its style of treatment by more international collaborations, publications and health-care programs.

• Dr Shivani Sood and Dr Mahesh Kumar would like to kindly thank all the Patients, students and people who have supported their vision and work.

PERSONAL ATTITUDE

“I believe in the power of nature and how things happen naturally. Since I was young, natural remedies have fascinated me. I observed how big diseases fell apart with small adjustments done in one’s personal behaviour and lifestyle. This was the base of my Ayurvedic education and made me wander through different teachers in Kerala after I completed my formal education. Applying these principles of tradition and science over the years, I have seen massive improvements in people’s health and mind which continues to amaze me with the word “nature”.

He started his professional journey with a doctorate degree Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (B.A.M.S.), After the graduation, he decided to enrich his knowledge with learning more about the alternative science, and finally achieved the Master Degree in Alternative Medicine. He finished of his studies with a Diploma in Traditional Kerala therapies and Panchakarma .

Dr Mahesh Kumar was always passionate about the Panchakarma and its benefits thereby he decided also to study it in practice. He wisely chose to go to South India, the actual hub of Ayurveda, where one of its main styles appeared. During this stay he noticed that mostly the Panchakarma is done just as a relaxing treatment instead of deep, radical cleansing. This was an important discovery and lead for his current style of practise .

THE INTEGRATED TEAM

The Doctors currently travel to Europe and US, while maintaining the dynamic time schedule in the Clinic in India. Harmony established by the couple of Ayurvedic practitioners both in their work and private life is an example of true wisdom translated to the passion of everyday life.

They continued their research in the Ayurvedic world and realised that even people with a body purified through Ayurvedic procedures, still show the negativity of the mind. This mental impurity was constantly hindering almost any progress in their patients’ therapies. Doctors were facing the sad reality: the majority of practitioners and styles were not taking under consideration such an important part of human condition. Moreover, after treatment most of the patients had no idea how to follow the well-being path once they leave the clinic. Considering this, Dr Kumar and Dr Sood designed the most important slogan of the clinic: “Empower yourself”, to put the emphasis on empowering their patients in the mission of self-healing. But the most important result of their researches was the creation of their own, unique in the world scale style of treatment, named Shivani Style, which integrates balancing the body and balancing the mind. “Passion for our work and the principle to transmit the traditional values in a modern way became our path. Today we offer to our patients traditional love and devotion, but also a scientific protocol of routine to release mental and physical negativity. In our clinic, you can meet six Indian therapists who help us to give individual attention to each patient” – they assure. Today their clinic prospers and is visited by many rational minded students, patients and develops more experience and growth. The freshness in their way of thinking and treatments is really appreciated.
