Ayurveda is a natural healing system that has been successfully practiced for thousands of years. Originating in ancient India, this medical tradition states that each person's path toward optimal health is unique—because each person is unique. Deva will work with you to create an individualized program. The healing programs we offer at

The Cleanse of Santa Fe™

are based on effective time-honored principles that focus on understanding your particular body-mind constitution and the unique nature of your imbalances. The goal of Ayurvedic programs is to create within your body and mind an optimum environment for healing to take place to maximize your body's ability to heal itself. Your program may include lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes, herbs, sound/mantra therapy, aromatherapy and other natural therapeutics.

Deva Khalsa is the Program Administrator for Whole Self Recovery™ & Retreat Center. Whole Self™ offers an alternative to those who seek something other than the traditional recovery program styles as well as something alternative to the most popular 12 step programs. The substance abuse recovery program is 40 days to one year of yoga, cleansing and rejuvenation specifically designed for individuals seeking a wholistic healing experience that is an alternative to current Western protocols and pharmaceuticals. With this holistic approach, our residential program treats the whole self, providing a catalyst for growth, healing and transformation. Whole Self Recovery & Retreat Center is now offering 'mini-residentials' for short term guests seeking full body detox or those individuals or groups seeking a personal space for recovery of any kind.

Testimonial May 2011
Working with Deva to learn Ayurveda has been so amazing! I know so much more now about myself, my body, my mind, and the exact steps I need to take to stay in prime health. It was incredible how she seemed to know additional problems that were bothering me. She identified them before I could and helped me learn how to balance it all. I've learned so many Ayurvedic practices that I will use for the rest of my life to help me focus on health, wellness and youthful living. I felt so great after doing the Qwik-Drop 7 Day Cleanse that I continued on cleansing. I lost 7 pounds in 7 days. I can't imagine going back to my old way of eating and living because I feel so great now! Deva is clearly among the top 3 people that has made my life exponentially better. I am eternally grateful.

Deva has many gifts, including her lovely presence, which comes through her work as an Ayurvedic practitioner. Her natural ease and grace put me at ease for our first appointment. I felt seen, cared for, and assessed accurately. Deva heard all of my concerns and questions, and took everything I shared into consideration. When I arrived in her office, I had been experiencing an extreme Vata imbalance. By our next visit, after shifting my diet and nourishing myself with the recommended Ayurvedic herbs and digestive teas, the imbalance had already shifted considerably. Deva was sensitive and tuned in to what my body could use to rebalance and strengthen. She is quite knowledgeable about the fine balancing of the doshas; moreso than a couple of other practitioners (in other locations) with whom I have consulted. What I particularly liked is how she recognized the shift from the Vata imbalance to the Pitta imbalance, and shift the appropriate herbal medicines and foods accordingly. Quite impressive, especially after working with an Ayurvedic doctor (Indian woman in Germany at a big medical clinic), who did not have that awareness, and I was really thrown out of balance. Already, in less than two months, I feel better than perhaps ever in my health-challenged life. I highly recommend her thorough work.
