Essential Balance is a holistic therapy and Ayurveda practice in the Tyne and Wear / North East England area, run by Amanda (a 19-year spa and beauty veteran, and qualified Ayurvedic practitioner, Dip Ayur).

The practice is built around the idea of Challenging Stress, Normalising Wellness whereby Amanda challenges the modern normalisation of stress and its negative consequences. Amanda's approach is that the body is intelligent and will heal when given time and attention. Every treatment is tailor-made after a consultation, adapting techniques and products to each client's specific needs. Amanda only uses cruelty-free, vegan, and non-toxic products, believing in working with nature's healing power.
