New York Ayurveda & Panchakarma Center — Local services in New York

TERRIBLE IS THE LEAST !!! This is not Ayurveda at all. we paid $105 for nothing. The young woman that gives the massage was below, below an Ayurvedic massage practitioner. or even assistant. To start she said, take your top off and she stayed there watching me getting undressed.Zero privacy. I had pants on... she said leave them on or whatever makes comfortable . in a very rude manner. I was wondering what kind of massage is this with your pants on.She started massaging or I should say rubbing my back so hard with very little oil. I thought to myself maybe this is a different approach... I politely said it hurts .she said OMG just talk. than she quickly said Face up now.(no magic words in this place ) without even getting to the bottom of my body.She hurt me so bad that I still feel sore.my ears were terrible red. I had to stop it . Than the older woman came rushing in and said ,well you have to have the massage if you want Shirodhara .. I understood her point .but she sounded very imperative and really agitated. Zero effort to make the client relax. She sat down and try to give me a head massage, it was like fixing the bad job from the other one. but just as bad. Then she contradicted herself by saying maybe we should just put the oil directly without the massage. At this point I told her you must stop.i really do not feel too well. I am in pain and very stress out .it was like a bad dream ..or a bad joke.She quickly responded but I will charge you full price of $105. My friend was waiting outside for his turn. He looked at me and noticed that my ears and back were so red. so we cancelled his as well. the older woman came back out and said, sorry but we have to charge both of you full price. or if you want you can continue with the Shirodhara directly . I was totally in shock . how could I go back in to that little room. It was so suffocating and hot. and the massage bed was with a plastic paper that stuck to your body. The place is a dump the entrance of the building is nice, but once you get to the room its a very small office and massage room together. noisy and a tiny massage room. Enough said . There are better places in the city.This is the worst I have seen. She is using the word Ayurveda but its just a frame . what they really do its a back rub hardcore massage with scented indian oils.and little candles to sell you the whole Ayurveda picture. I was there for less than 20 minutes it was plenty . one star is huge !!! for the water they offered to us at the entrance.

I couldn't get over it next day.I woke up with my back soared and I thought the right thing to do is to call back again to let them know and be reimbursed.Idid call and spoke with the owner the lady that charged us . I explained that my back was very soared from the aggressive massage I had the day before at her center. She immediately knew who I was .She asked me to please stop by to be reimbursed. she apologize for the therapist bad massage treatment, and agreed with me that the young lady was not herself that day "maybe she had a fight with her husband "etc. and I asked her my ears were burning was that part of the massage ?.. her answer was honest and responded NO!absolutely she was not supposed to touch your ears,and massage should have been gentle. My back and ears paid off for an angered"Ayurveda" therapist. Funny but not really.The woman looked very nervous and apologetical . she offered a free massage .However I declined. I thanked her. and give her 10% for the therapist time. She did not take it.What puzzles me is that she knew they were wrong ,and never called back checking on me to see how I was feeling,knowing I have left in pain. until I did. A lesson...

I have been coming here for nearly 6 months as part of my wellness journey, and this place is a true gem. Nisha and her team are gracious and calming. I have tried Pinda Swedana, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Greeva Basti, Marma Therapy, Lavender Poultice Treatment, Ubtan Bliss Scrub, and the Rejuvenating Navara Rice & Herbs Facial Treatment (my first facial and perfect for my sensitive skin). I have enjoyed them all and appreciate how the team ensures your comfort during the sessions. I come out of the sessions feeling deeply relaxed, more grounded, and some of the treatments have also helped with my shoulder pain/range of motion. There are such a variety of treatments and combos of treatments, and I really think there is something for everyone here. I highly recommend capping off your treatment with Shirodhara. Be prepared to go home feeling like you’re floating on air and have a peaceful...
