A native to Western NY, Vella Catania is an Ayurvedic Practitioner whose experience is seated in Education, Energy Medicine, Alchemy, and the ancient esoterica of Ayurveda, Yoga Technology, Pranayama and Meditation as well as Psychosynthesis.
At Soma Ahram, Vella blends her expertise with the ancient life science of Ayurveda by bringing balance and restoration to the body, mind, spirit and offers practical tools for deep transformative experiences on a biochemical level. With a life-long love of cooking, Vella believes that one’s diet is of utmost importance towards integrating wholeness and that what we choose to take in should be created and experienced with love and care. This is because what we digest not only nourishes and sustains the body and mind, but through food we also ingest its energy into our sacred bodies. In addition to sharing her Ayurvedic knowledge and her Yog- Vedantic wisdom with others, Vella loves to spend time with nature and cultivating her medicinal garden, spending time with her son and wild-natured cat- cultivating grace and peace in her daily sadhana.
Vella believes that the practice and benefits of Ayurveda along with Yoga can be easily incorporated into everyone’s lifestyle and that we are all able to attain the bliss in life we truly desire through Sattva. A selection of Vella’s recipes, wisdom and services can be found on her website.
Vella holds a Master of Science in Education and is a Certified Psychosynthesis Life Coach, a Certified Practical Homeopath, an Emerging Ayurvedic Health Counselor and Practitioner, a Yoga Therapist, LightWorker, and Energy Alchemist. She is also a member of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association, recently appointed to serve as Vice Chair on the NAMA Student Subcommittee.
