About
In 2009, upon reading her first book, Ayurveda--“the science of life”-- by Dr. Vasant Lad, Valdet felt this modality spoke to her directly. She immediately felt an urgent sense of calling and a desire to both travel to the origin of where this beautiful science was born and to begin a journey of intense study. Six months later she was on her way to the motherland (India) where she lived and where, for a full year, immersed herself in the study of Ayurveda and Yoga at Arsha Yoga Vidya Peetam Trust in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. It was here that she completed intensive training in Ayurvedic principals, various Ayurvedic therapies, and Yoga theory and practice.
In 2010, Valdet completed her yoga certification training at the Ayurveda Retreat Hospital in Coonoor, India where she studied Hatha/Astanga yoga under Dr. Senthil Kumar M.D. (Acu) Ph.D.(Yoga), in addition to receiving her training in Reiki Levels I and II.
Since 2010, upon being back in America, she's continued to study numerous complementary modalities that include Thai Yoga Bodywork (Levels I, II and III) under Jonas Westring; Ayurvedic Nutrition under Dr. Naina Marballi (B.S.A.M) Ayurvedacharya; and numerous aromatherapy courses through Floracopeia. She also received her Diploma in Organic Skin Care Formulation through the world-class programs offered by Formula Botanica.
It is with great passion, pleasure, and enthusiasm that Valdet uses a combination of all her modalities to help inspire others on the road toward optimum health. Passionate about Yoga and Thai Yoga, she also conducts personalized sessions in these modalities now in the Bay Area
The Philosophy
Aroma Veda is dedicated to formulating aromatic luxury products using high-performance ingredients found in Ayurveda and Aromatherapy.
Ayurveda is the oldest healthcare system that exists in the world, also known as “the science of life.” The fundamental principles of Ayurveda speak to everyone being a unique individual that needs a personalized wellness approach for life. This includes diet, lifestyle, herbs, breath-work, various body therapies and yoga. Ayurveda offers us it’s endless wisdom of herbology and how to use it inside and out. In this way, we can correct all imbalances that influence our health. It is with great enthusiasm and excitement I am able to bring this forward in the work I do.
Aromatherapy is another ancient science of healing that has strong effects on one’s health and well-being. Essential oils used in aromatherapy are the life force of plants taken from the root, trunk, flower, resin and leaves. Essential oils are used to protect one’s life force and promote a sense of peace and well-being on the mental, physical and spiritual plane. They are potent and have a direct impact in all these areas of life. Knowledge and experience of the profound benefits aromatherapy offers is why I use 100% pure organic or wild-crafted essential oils in my formulations.
The ritual of what goes into the bottle;
- Handcrafted small batches, using ethically sourced organic ingredients.
- Blending is an art and a science that is honored with positive intentions and affirmations.
- Sound therapy and healing mantras. Ayurveda teaches us that sound carries high vibration and I love to infuse that into my formulas.
- Joy.
