Ayurveda is a 5,000 (yes, five thousand) year old life science and wellness tradition. Ayu – means life, Veda means science.

“The philosophy of Ayurveda is simple: we all, without exceptions, have the birthright to be healthy. Nobody should ever have less than a vibrant healthy life.” – explains Gin Brunssen, BS, LMBT, the founder of Ayurvedic Bodywork Center in Raleigh, NC.

Talking to an Ayurveda practitioner is sometimes absolutely puzzling for a first comer. As somebody once put it: “You come with a health problem, answer questions for an hour, and leave with the shopping list and a schedule”.

Ayurveda is a lifestyle in which appropriate food, regular exercises, and massages keep your body in the best working condition.

Gin is trained in Ayurvedic and Neuromuscular massage, Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue, Pregnancy massage, and Rossiter Technique.

She never dreamed of becoming a massage therapist or learning about Ayurveda. She earned her Bachelor of Science in the field of Human Development and Family Studies in 1999 and for a while worked with children and teenagers with special needs. But the stress level was too high and Gin started to think about changing career.

The desire of helping people made her choose a career in massage therapy. After graduating from the massage school in 2002 she spent a year working at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing in California learning Ayurveda.

It is easy to describe Ayurvedic massage as luxurious, detoxifying and total bliss. These ancient techniques use a lot of warmed herbalized oils and friction strokes to rejuvenate the tissues of the body, and induce the elimination of toxins.

“We choose different oils for different clients based on age honored traditions of Ayurveda. There are three body mind constitutions. First we seek to determine if imbalance exists within these constitutions. By applying oil and massage technique appropriate for a person’s constitution we correct imbalance and assist the body in healing itself.” – explains Gin Brunssen.

Ayurvedic Bodywork Center offers a wide selection of ancient Ayurvedic massage sessions from Gandharva (accompanied by the meditative sounds of the crystal bowl) and Marma therapy to Swedana, an herbal steam treatment.
