There’s No Place Like Om

Solace Health Ayurveda Clinic

When it comes to your well-being, you’ve got no problem with alternative therapies. But it’s hard to feel better when you’re choking on incense.

Take comfort at Solace Health, founder Megan Munoz’s refreshingly down-to-earth ayurveda clinic in Potrero Hill.

Munoz makes the 5,000-year-old traditional healing system of India totally palatable by offering everyday suggestions for getting your mind, body, and spirit in sync.

Treatments start with a one-on-one consultation. Munoz assesses your physical and emotional symptoms — stress, breakouts, insomnia, mood swings. She then devises a personal program based on the five senses that includes diet and herbs (taste), aromatherapy (smell), massage (touch), color therapy (sight), and mantra chanting and music (sound).

Because ayurveda is a sister science to yoga, Munoz guides you through meditation, breathing exercises, and a series of asanas specific to what ails you.

The result? A heightened sense of awareness, health, and harmony.

We can’t imagine the alternative.
