Ayurveda Practitioner in Ashburton, Melbourne.

Hello! I’m Ann, founder of REVIVE Ayurveda. I started my practice in 2023 to share a more balanced approach to health and wellbeing, bringing together the insights of modern science with the wisdom of traditional Ayurvedic principles.

For over 24 years, I worked in Medical Science (Pathology), helping doctors and healthcare professionals by performing diagnostic tests and analyses. That experience deepened my respect for how science supports our understanding of the body and also sparked my curiosity about the role of lifestyle, mindset and daily habits in maintaining long-term wellbeing.

In 2022, I completed my studies in Ayurveda and Reiki, drawn to their gentle, holistic focus on harmony and prevention. Through REVIVE Ayurveda, I now help clients explore personalised lifestyle routines, nourishing self-care, and simple Ayurveda practices that support balance from the inside out.

My mission

As a qualified Ayurveda Lifestyle Consultant and Reiki practitioner in Melbourne, Australia, my goal is to help you achieve a healthy lifestyle, a sense of balance and feel good inside and out, through an integrated approach combining modern science, Ayurveda and Reiki.

My roots are in Malaysia, India, and Sri Lanka. I grew up seeing Ayurveda practised in my home by my grandmother and aunties, who passed on their nurturing and a love for traditional medicine to me, which helped restore my health during some challenging times.

I believe that in these hectic and modern times, ancient, nature-based approaches may offer valuable support for our wellbeing journey. I'm passionate about helping you explore natural therapies and discover ways to enhance relaxation and overall happiness..

Who is REVIVE Ayurveda for?

REVIVE Ayurveda is for women aged 40 and above who want to nurture their wellbeing, restore energy, and feel more balanced through holistic and natural practices such as Ayurveda massage, Shirodhara, Kati Basti, Lifestyle guidance, and Reiki.

I also work with seniors seeking gentle Ayurvedic bodywork to support flexibility, mobility, and a greater sense of vitality.

My wellness sessions are ideal if you:

• want to feel more energised and balanced in daily life

• are exploring holistic approaches to complement your existing healthcare

• prefer personalised programs rather than one-size-fits-all routines

• are interested in supporting digestion, circulation, and relaxation naturally

• would like to ease tension, calm the mind, and promote better rest

• are seeking a nurturing space to unwind and reconnect with your body and mind

Each session is designed to honour your unique needs, combining gentle Ayurveda techniques, lifestyle insights, and energy work to promote overall harmony.

Ayurveda qualifications and experience

• M.Sc. in Medical Science from Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, 2012.

• Diploma in Ayurveda Lifestyle Consultation from The Collective Wellness Institute, Melbourne, 2021.

• Certificate in Mastering Digestion and Nutrition from The Joyful Belly School of Ayurveda, America, 2021.

• Reiki Level II from Naturally Vibrant Healing Centre, Melbourne, 2022.

• Essential Sanskrit Level III from Ayu Academy, 2023, where I learnt how to recognise, read and pronounce Sanskrit words in transliterated format. This is important as the English language has limited words to match with many Sanskrit words in the ancient Ayurveda textbooks, and some words may not have any direct translation.
