3 years ago I was feeling low and was always tired, my skin was dull. I went to the GP and was told to take vitamin D, iron and B12 tablets. I started those but felt bloated and had irregular bowel movements and at the time of the month I had loads of water retention.
I decided to give Ayurveda a try as I’d heard good things about it. I contacted Rajiv for a consultation. At the initial consultation he made me aware of not just my health but my emotional state as well which was affecting my health. At this appointment, I hadn’t made Rajiv aware of my problems before hand but what amazed me was whatever problems I had he diagnosed through reading my pulse. I was very impressed at this.
He recommended some supplements, dietary changes and small lifestyle and habit changes which I could easily incorporate into my daily routine. With regard to the dietary changes, he said they were only temporary, and he explained the reasoning of not eating certain things rather than just saying ‘NO DON’T EAT THEM.’ This helped me understand food better and helped me easily start improving my diet.
In addition to the dietary changes I started the herbal supplements and made small daily life changes like having a routine, exercising, finding a hobby.
Within a month noticed a huge change. I felt more alive, the bloating reduced, bowel movement became more regular. Emotionally I feel a lot more calmer, more content and almost at peace and a lot less anxious. Since the initial consultation I had 3 to 4 more follow ups with him and for the last year I have been off all the supplements from the GP and I feel great.Rajiv was very understanding, very easy to talk to, made me feel very comfortable and was always happy to give advice whenever I messaged him.
Thank you

I have Ulcerative colitis and came to see Rajiv 3 years ago when I just diagnosed. I was very fearful and confused and unsure as to how to proceed, all I knew was I didn’t want to take harsh drugs due to potential side effects. I have always been interested in Ayurveda and knew instantly that Rajiv knew his stuff from his advice and knowledge. My health has steadily improved in these few years, and I would not have been able to get where I am without Rajiv’s amazing support, advice, and wisdom. As well as the herbal supplements Rajiv advises, I like his straightforward, clear communication and friendly manner. Being on a healing journey can be difficult and having someone to assure you but also give you the motivation to take responsibility for your own health, which Rajiv has done has been immensely empowering. I’ll always be truly grateful to my friend for recommending him to me!

Having been operated on for a cerebrospinal fluid leak, I was suffering from excessive fluid retention in my feet and was on heavy painkiller medication. The side effects of the medication were rapid weight gain, an overall sense of lethargy and low self-esteem.
That is when I contacted Rajiv for a consultation.Rajiv had excellent reviews on Facebook and was also highly recommended by some friends. After meeting him the first time, I found him to be a very caring and friendly person who was also highly knowledgeable about Ayurveda and the constitution of the human body based on Ayurvedic principles. His pinpointed questions led to the right diagnosis, which I found later from my GP. I took the prescribed supplements and followed the diet recommended by Rajiv closely. I also started some yoga exercises and tried to lead healthier lifestyle. Following these steps, I was able to lose a significant amount of weight in just a month’s time. This boosted my morale immensely and instilled a new sense of confidence. Most importantly, I was able to fit in my old clothes, which was very pleasing! I would highly recommend Rajiv to anyone who needs to make a positive change in their lifestyle. His keen love of Ayurveda and his spot-on diagnosis and supplements along with a very well charted diet plan is the perfect recipe for a positive change in your life. His advice and recommendations can be followed on for the better part of your life as they are based on strong Ayurveda principles.

I came to Rajiv because I was struggling with my gut health and digestion. My husband recommended Rajiv to me as he had used him and found that Ayurveda was extremely helpful in improving his health. I have had a number of consultations with Rajiv and each time I have found that Rajiv is very kind, caring and patient with me. Rajiv is an expert in the knowledge of Ayurveda and was able to understand the root cause of my issues and suggest things that would help me- such as do more creativity, following my purpose, sesame oil massages and increasing my intake of soups and foods that are easier to digest. He suggested various different options – mainly to eat foods that I like and that are nourishing and feel good. When I told Rajiv that I wasn’t able to follow some things at the time, he was able to offer alternatives and help me focus on what I could implement. I really appreciated this. I have a deeper understanding now of the way my body works and the reasons why I have these issues. I continue to go back to what Rajiv has suggested and whenever I do follow this I have found that it helps me so much. I would definitely recommend Rajiv to others because he loves what he does and he cares deeply!

For about three years I had had severe acid reflux which saw me in hospital twice and having an endoscopy. Each time doctors could see the inflammation of my digestive tract but would only offer omeprazole to neutralise my stomach acid. It severely impacted my quality of life and I was wondering if I would have to live in pain and taking meds for the rest of my life. Through a relative I was recommended to contact Rajiv to see if he could help with my health. Rajiv was extremely thorough and professional with his questions about my health. He was also generous with his time and really wanted a thorough understanding of all aspects of my life both physical and mental. He wasn’t just trying to rush to a quick solution and “get me out” as many doctors do. He was able to pinpoint specific things within my lifestyle and diet that were affecting me adversely despite me thinking I was already living quite a healthy lifestyle (I don’t drink or smoke, exercise regularly and follow a vegetarian diet). Rajiv helped me understand that every person has unique needs to live a healthy, well balanced life. But more than anything I just felt Rajiv really cared about my well-being and saw me as a person as opposed to just a patient or a means to make money. He suggested several adjustments to my diet and lifestyle and some herbal supplements. He also let me know that like anything that is worth achieving, change wouldn’t happen overnight but if I stuck to his advice I would improve. At this point I was desperate and so followed his advice strictly for six months. After years of suffering finally my acid reflux was no more! It was completely gone! I will always be indebted to Rajiv; I feel like he really saved my life. I would whole heartedly recommend anyone suffering with their health to see him.

I have known Rajiv for many years, and because of his passion for learning and teaching Ayurveda I choose to consult him on some health issues I had. I came to Rajiv initially for a consultation for my stable periodontal disease, wanting guidance on how I can further support my health to prevent any further damage. I knew he would provide me with tools on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. This is the type of holistic healing approach I was looking for. The consultation was thorough and I felt all bases of my lifestyle were covered. Rajiv answered all the questions I had and I was provided with further information after the session to help me. I implemented the tools in my daily life, starting off by one thing at a time until I was able to change my lifestyle to the ones recommended. I have as a result felt much better, have become increasingly aware of my health, how different foods affect it and have been able to further deepen my Ayurvedic knowledge on myself. I would recommend anyone, that includes those with or without health problems or just for knowledge to seek Rajiv’s help.

I have had regular consultations, treatments and follow up appointments with Rajiv for many years now and I’m genuinely happy with the results. He was recommended to me by a friend, and I honestly could not ask for anyone more knowledgeable and talented to help me with my issues. I was suffering from a lot of acidity and stomach related issues for the last 10 years, which was making my daily life very hard. My first consultation with Rajiv was so thorough. He took so much time out to actually understand my issues, struggles and the assessment was carried out in detail. He not only helped me with my problems but you can definitely say that Rajiv cares for all of his clients and wants their betterment from his heart. We also had a good laugh along the way which helped me to feel relaxed and comfortable.
I have been following his advice and taking the suggested supplements regularly and since I have been doing this, I can honestly say I feel much better and my symptoms have decreased. If I have any additional questions that I want to ask Rajiv, he is always there to answer them and help out and I really admire this about him. I would definitely recommend Rajiv to anybody who would like to solve any issues that they are facing in relation to their health. What is great about Ayurveda is that it’s all natural, so no side effects! Thank you Rajiv!

I was having sluggish bowel movements and gas. My hunger wasn’t always strong, but I wasn’t losing weight. I needed help and decided to go down the path of Ayurveda. I heard of Rajiv through word of mouth through friends and family. I followed his page on Instagram and could see his passion for helping people shine through. I felt I would be in safe hands and that he would spend time with me instead of trying to rush me and prescribe me medicine for no reason. His knowledge and passion impressed me a lot. He took good time to really understand me and my issues. It was refreshing to see someone who isn’t constantly keeping an eye on the clock. The consultation was conducted very professionally, and I felt in safe hands throughout.After taking the supplements and implementing small lifestyle, after 3 months I felt great. I felt that it wasn’t just the supplements but also incorporating the lifestyle changes that he advised to make which made the difference to me. My digestion has been great and my attitude to certain things had improved. I have continued with the diet and lifestyle choices he suggested as they have made such a big difference to my life.I would 100% recommend him to others. The personal touch, the way he takes time in the appointments, the knowledge and the passion are some of the reasons for this recommendation.

I have been suffering from Crohn’s colitis since 2008 and would have flare ups roughly every 3 years or so. During a relapse in 2019 I decided I wanted to seek an alternative path away from western medicine that would help me make better lifestyle changes to help control my condition. I have always felt strongly about Ayurveda but had never looked into it seriously, but I knew the ancient Indian science has so much to offer. This is where a very good friend of mine recommended Rajiv as an ayurvedic practitioner. From the initial contact, when I was having an active flare up, Rajiv was approachable, friendly and passionate. His genuine positive energy and willingness to help me gave me confidence to pursue the Ayurvedic path and I have never looked back. Rajiv has excellent interpersonal and clinical skills and was able to diagnose not only the physical symptoms but the psychological symptoms that may be contributing to my condition. His ayurvedic knowledge is profound, pulse reading skills are on point and he gives guidance that is both practical and individually tailored. At the initial flare up, I followed a strict diet (vata-pitta related) and took Ayurvedic supplements given by Rajiv and to my amazement I was in remission withing 3 months without needing to take strong steroid tablets. Since then, I have never looked back, I continue to consult Rajiv annually. Over the last 3 years, I have gained confidence with what foods help me and those that are not ideal with the knowledge that Rajiv has imparted. I still continue to take the Ayurvedic supplements and have implemented lots of ‘me’ time and changes to help my psychological well-being. I am truly blessed to be having treatment and guidance by Rajiv and his holistic approach using the Ayurvedic science and connecting the mind, body and soul has given me a new lease of self-confidence and happiness in managing my condition. Thank you so much for everything Rajiv. If you believe and want to make changes for better health and mind, then I would wholeheartedly recommend Rajiv Raja.

I saw Rajiv a while ago after learning about his training as an Ayurvedic practitioner, and hearing really positive reviews from others. I was slightly hesitant at first because I didn’t know too much about Ayurveda, and wasn’t sure whether it could help me or not. At the time, I was suffering from an underactive thyroid, low mood, anxiety and digestive problems. When I arrived at my first consultation, Rajiv was warm and welcoming; he made me feel very much at ease immediately. His consultation room was clean, inviting and also very peaceful which helped too! Once settled in, he explained to me what the consultation would consist of. He was clearly very knowledgeable and able to explain things in an accessible and understandable way to someone who was unfamiliar with Ayurveda. He also answered all the questions I had. He did a pulse reading and was able to identify several ailments from there. We discussed these in detail, and I noticed that he has a very holistic approach, meaning he touched on entire medical history, both mental and physical. I found this really thorough and, something that stood out to me was that I felt very safe to be open and honest with him with no judgement whatsoever. I learnt a lot about myself from just the first consultation! Rajiv also prescribed me some Ayurvedic supplements to take over a period of time. He was clear about what each one was for, how it would help, how to take it, what time etc. He gave excellent guidance on how to have a complimentary diet too. After a month of following Rajiv’s guidance and taking the Ayurvedic herbs consistently, I immediately noticed a difference; I felt lighter, calmer, had more energy, my sleep cycle was better, and my stomach problems were a lot better. After 3 months, my thyroid levels had improved (as shown by a routine blood test taken at my GP practice, who was really surprised!). As an addition, I attended yoga sessions run by Rajiv. These were honestly brilliant; I felt more at peace with myself, my brain was less foggy and I physically felt a lot better. The classes were intimate and Rajiv was able to give individual attention during the class. If you are in two minds about going for an Ayurvedic consultation, you must go – I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Rajiv!

I first consulted with Rajiv with my acid reflux/digestive issues which had led to severe anxiety. I had prior consulted with the GP for the same and they prescribed me numerous medications of which some I had avoided to consume and some of which did not help me cure at all. When I saw Rajiv, he went through a full consultation with me step by step to find out the causes. He was very calm and patient with me as I really struggled to explain my problem, he made me feel very comfortable and was greatly supportive. He flagged out the issues by checking my pulse, and the treatment plan provided was consisting of dietary and lifestyle changes. He provided me with a lot of l information of dietary substitutes making sure that that it didn’t become too restrictive and difficult for me. His suggestion to me of keeping a food diary helped me eliminate foods that caused a pattern of symptoms. Rajiv is very attentive and is well experienced in this field he knows what he is talking about, as he considered all the small details of my health issues. He would always want the best for you. I would recommend him to anyone with any health issues.
