ABOUT ME

I'm Tish Joyce and I live in Nairn in the Scottish Highlands, after moving from England to simplify my life and find balance. I've been inquisitive about the role that our mind, emotions, family, and personality play in our overall health since I was a child. Growing up in a large family, with Indian/Irish roots, mealtimes were a central part of family life. As a GP, my Mum instilled the importance of healthy eating and digestion and I loved the smells of turmeric, coconut and cinnamon in my Goan Grandma's kitchen. I developed a passion for healthy home cooking, and now as a healer.

 

After having my daughter at eighteen, I continued to study and work full time, so finding balance was often elusive. I did everything to the max: work hard, play hard and exercise hard. I flew all over Europe in my corporate career and as an extreme runner, ran solo across 6 countries - a marathon a day for 7weeks. I thought that balance was being extreme in all aspects of life! It took me a long time to realise this was not the case!

​

My passion for Ayurveda began over 25yrs ago, when I had a complete turnaround of my mental and physical health after treatment. Fascinated by the idea of self healing, I learnt as much as I could from books. It was my granddaughter's recurring skin disorders, gastrointestinal issues and allergies that western medicine failed to remedy that made me finally decide to become an Ayurvedic Healer. I left the corporate world in 2021 to immerse myself in the full-time study of Ayurveda. This was just a short time after my Mum's sudden death, and I recall the realisation that I had found my 'dharma', my reason for being. I know that I am continuing my Mum's work, as she dedicated her life to her patients.

​

I gained my professional qualifications and Diplomas at the Ayurvedic Institute UK, as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Lifestyle and Nutrition Practitioner and Ayurvedic Marma Massage Therapist, after 2.5 years of study. I am very grateful to the teachings of Dr Deepika Rodrigo at the AIUK, and now continue to deepen my knowledge with the School of Ayurveda in Kerala, Southern India, under the guidance of Dr Rajesh Deven and Dr Sapna Rajesh.  As a member of the Vedic Study Circle, an online sanctuary for the deep study of ancient Vedic wisdom, under the guidance of Acharya Shunya, I am focused on personal transformation and spiritual learning.

​

I offer Ayurvedic Consultations, Talking Therapy, Traditional Ayurvedic Marma Massage and Shirodhara and am passionate about spreading the word about the incredible science of Ayurveda through community educational talks. My practice has grown organically through personal recommendations, and I am grateful for the patient successes in many diseases including: Obesity, Depression, Anxiety, CFS, ME, Fibromyalgia, Endometriosis, Eczema, Allergies, IBS, Coeliac, GURD, PCOS, Fertility, Menopause, Migraine, Joint issues and many more.

Ayurveda is my reason for being, and it’s a privilege to help others to heal themselves naturally. My simple aim is to unravel the mystery of natural human self-healing.
