A Journey of Healing and Empowerment 
​
Sylvia Strahl, AD is a highly respected Ayurvedic Doctor and Professional Member of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) an expert in her field with over 17 years of dedicated practice. In 2019 Sylvia was asked to serve on the committee of Ayurvedic specialists responsible for developing the NAMA Ayurvedic Doctor Examination.
Her specialty lies in taking authentic and traditional Ayurvedic principles and applying them in the modern Western culture we live in.
Sylvia’s journey in Ayurveda began in 2006 in India under the mentorship of Dr. Ganesh, a renowned Ayurvedic Physician. During her studies, she received personalized mentorship, gaining a profound understanding of Ayurveda’s ancient wisdom. Furthering her expertise, Sylvia studied remotely with Dr. JV Hebbar and trained in person with Dr. Shubangee, enriching her knowledge through academic and experiential learning during multiple visits to India.
Her background in Natural Health spans over two decades, with extensive studies in Herbal therapy, Nutrition, and Yoga. Since 2000, Sylvia has accumulated over 2200 hours of Yoga studies, formerly holding certification as a Yoga Alliance instructor. Her Yoga studies began in the US and continued in India studying Raja Yoga with KYM senior teachers. She integrates this knowledge into her Ayurvedic practice, offering personalized Asana guidance tailored to individual needs.
Sylvia was inspired to study many health practices, since at age 19 she was diagnosed with a chronic condition deemed incurable. Through Ayurvedic practices, she regained balance and health, transforming her personal journey into a lifelong mission to help others achieve holistic well-being. She specializes in Dosha Balancing, creating customized treatments and lifestyle plans, and has clinical expertise in Panchakarma therapies, ensuring her clients receive comprehensive care.
In 2015, Sylvia founded My Daily Dosha, an innovative online platform designed to make Ayurvedic principles accessible and actionable. Today, she leads NAMA and PACE approved Authentic Ayurveda Trainings in Maui, with workshops and classes on Ayurveda and Yoga and offers Retreats utilizing the knowledge of these practices.
Sylvia’s work reflects her deep commitment to education and empowerment, guiding individuals toward vibrant health through the timeless teachings of Ayurveda.
I tried regular doctors, pharmaceutical drugs, surgeries, and holistic healers and nothing worked until I found Sylvia and Ayurveda. I had musculoskeletal injuries, depression, aging, chronic pain, excess weight, and pain-killer dependency. Sylvia and Ayurveda immediately helped me. Sylvia’s intuitive, professional, and caring demeanor are enhanced by the superb ambiance and obvious effectiveness of her treatments. She helped me understand the science of Ayurvedic self-diagnosis and self-healing. She saved my life. When you want better health, more energy, less pain and a happier life, Sylvia is the person to turn to.

For years I suffered from chronic tightness and aches in my neck and shoulders and tried almost every therapy imaginable — traditional massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, rolfing, healing touch, and more. Ayurveda has by far been the most effective treatment in relieving these symptoms, and Sylvia has been my Nightingale. She is an accomplished practitioner who has extensive training in Ayurveda and other fields. Her nurturing touch and dedication help to make the experience a memorable one. Ayurveda also helps to balance the nervous system and give one a feeling of tranquility. I highly recommend Sylvia and Ayurveda to anyone wanting to make a positive life change.
