Charlotte Jernigan, Certified -National Ayurveda Medical Association - Charlotte has an integrated practice which combines Certified Ayurveda (health), Jyotish (life choices/eastern astrology) and Hastasamudrika (hand analysis) and Vastushastra (science of living spaces) and combines these ancient disciplines to specialize in a "whole life" approach to wellness. Ayurveda client evaluation and education sessions combine written intake and extensive dialogue with analysis of pulse, tongue, hand and other body markings to provide the client with a six to eight week action plan for self-healing and a specific target for follow-ups. Separate, more detailed Jyotish/eastern-astrology or hand-analysis sessions are done independently of Ayurveda.
