Avi Sehmbi-White is a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, massage therapist and trainee herbalist.

Avi believes that good health arises from living in harmony with both ourselves and the natural world. Understanding the habitual disconnection from our inner selves and the rhythms of nature is at the heart of many imbalances, Avi crafted her own unique approach to healing after overcoming her own journey with weight issues and depression through an Ayurvedic approach to well-being.

Avi used to be deeply immersed in the fast-paced world of digital learning, constantly managing deadlines, emails, and the pressure to perform. Despite outward success, she found herself feeling drained, disconnected, and burnt out. The hustle of a world that prioritised speed over depth left her out of alignment with herself, taking a toll on her body and mind.

In the midst of this exhaustion, she discovered Ayurveda. This ancient system of healing brought her back to what truly matters—living consciously, with intention, and reconnecting with her body, mind, and spirit. Through Ayurveda, she embraced a slower, more mindful approach to life that nurtured balance and well-being.

Now, she is dedicated to helping others who feel lost or overwhelmed, just as she once did. Ayurveda has transformed her life, offering a holistic way to restore vitality, find calm, and reconnect with the true self. Today, she holds space for others on their own healing journeys, guiding them toward a balanced and fulfilling life—just as she found hers.

“Ayurveda helped me realise that true well-being is not just about one aspect of health, but a full spectrum of interconnected elements—lifestyle, habits, emotions, nutrition, digestion, and gut health. Each of these requires mindful attention, reverence, and care to cultivate lasting balance” and vitality.

Avi believes that longevity of life should be an accessible and tangible thing. She believes that healing on a deep cellular level involves slow, steady, considered and conscious work.

In essence, Ayurveda isn’t just about quick fixes; it’s about creating a sustainable, holistic lifestyle that supports your long-term well-being. Together, we’ll work towards restoring your body’s natural balance, empowering you to live a healthier, more vibrant life.

Testimonials

  • I’ve worked with Avi for around a year, as she helped me on my healing journey through Rheumatoid Arthritis. Avi has a wonderful blend of intuition, intellect and passion - all of which is delivered in a super supportive coaching environment. I’ve gone from being in crippling pain, barely being able to walk; to a normal life, doing the things I enjoy like running, gym and having a healthier relationship with my body. We’ve focused on gut health and stress management. Avi’s insight and guidance has allowed me to heal in a way I didn’t think possible. I highly recommend anyone work with her, just to improve the relationship with your body. Don’t wait for illness or injury to strike you down. I’ve learned so much and continue to learn. Thanks so much Avi

  • Avi was able to suggest diet and lifestyle tweaks tailored to my particular body type according to Ayurveda. I was even sent recipie ideas that fitted into my daily routine. I noticed a change in my health after a week or two, which was amazing. I had never questioned the foods I'd always eaten, but it made so much sense that specific changes would benefit me. Avi offered a wholistic approach to health and wellbeing. I really felt that the advice enabled me to take matters into my own hands regards diet and lifestyle. It gave me the power to be proactive with my health and wellbeing. I would certainly recommend that you go ahead and book a consultation with Avi, you will be amazed!
