Alicia Le Van

Embodiment Therapist, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Herbalist

It’s been 30 years…

My career in wellness has been a course of discovery with twists, turns and surprises, like a serpent.

For more than 30 years I have searched the world for a comprehensive healing system that aligns with my core beliefs, my inner knowing- and I found it in Ayurveda.

From a very I young age I have known our body is our temple.

Ayurveda is a fascinating system of healing that began over 5000 years ago, and views the body not just as a physical vessel, but as constantly vibrating with intelligence in every cell.

For me, spa work is a sacred service- as it was in antiquity. It is a heart centered calling that requires expertise, wisdom, and refined intuition. It’s not just about pampering, not even an escape, it is a space, a sacred space designed for the deep human need to restore our connection with ourselves.

In this space we find our balance. We pause to absorb the still point in each moment, and find a beautiful place within.

As a therapist, my primary role with clients is to lead the way to this place. To guide you along the path I know can take you home within your body.

This is what we do at Moon Flower Ayurveda. This is what makes us different. Come feel it for yourself. Just breathe, let go, and be your authentic essence.

This space was made for you.

This is a space for people like me-

sensitives, empaths, those who need

a sanctuary

away from the overwhelm of

a fast paced world we simply don’t fit in with.

Healing can Only happen when we are fully relaxed
