My ‘Why’ — Your Healing Journey
I’m Riim Lagerwerf — certified Ayurvedic Practitioner (Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist), Panchakarma Therapist, and Ayuryoga Therapist. My background is rich and layered: alongside my Ayurvedic and yoga education, I have completed training in integrative health coaching.
My mission? To guide you on a deep, transformational healing journey — one that goes beyond symptom relief and addresses the root causes of imbalance.
Why Choose Sankalpa Holistic Health?
A unique integration: I combine the wisdom of traditional Ayurvedic medicine with the precision of functional health analysis to understand and treat complex health issues.
Lived experience: I personally dealt with Graves’ disease, PCOS, endometriosis, and unfulfilled fertility — experiences that have deeply shaped my work and continue to inspire my practice.
A holistic lens: Your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing are deeply interconnected — I treat you as a whole, not as a collection of symptoms.
Time and attention for you: My process starts with a comprehensive intake, exploring your constitution, lifestyle, and lab results. You receive a personalized protocol with ongoing support to help you implement and sustain it.
