Dosha test by Het Sattvahuys

Discover your unique Ayurvedic balance

At Het Sattvahuys, we believe that every individual is unique, with a specific constitution that influences their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Ayurveda, a holistic health system over 3,000 years old, focuses on restoring the balance between body, mind, and soul. Central to this is the concept of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These doshas represent the fundamental energies of our body and mind, responsible for various bodily functions. Each person has a unique combination of these three doshas, which together form your Ayurvedic constitution.

Who is the massage gift card for?

The massage gift card is the ideal gift for anyone who could benefit from some extra self-care. It’s especially thoughtful for expectant mothers, new moms needing some time to recharge, or loved ones who simply deserve a peaceful break from their busy lives. Whether it’s for a friend, partner, family member, or colleague, a massage gift card offers a personal and meaningful way to show your appreciation.

Do you know someone who is pregnant or just gave birth? My pregnancy and postpartum massages are a delightful gift to both give and receive! Surprise your partner, friend or family member with a gift card during the babyshower - it’s the perfect way to give the gift of relaxation.

If you’re pregnant or recently had a baby, consider adding a gift card for a massage to your babyshower or birth registry. Let your friends and family know that a luxurious wellness experience would bring you joy and comfort. 

How does the dosha test work?

Before a treatment at Het Sattvahuys, I invite you to fill out this Dosha test. This is a questionnaire that provides insight into your physical, mental and emotional well-being. The results of this test help us determine your unique dosha combination. We look at your Vikriti (the current state of your doshas, ​​including any imbalances).

After determining your doshas, ​​I tailor the treatments accordingly. This means that I adjust the pressure, pace and oils I use to what your body needs. For some people, this means a gentle and soothing massage, while others benefit from a more intense, stimulating treatment. The Ayurvedic oils I use are also carefully selected to restore the balance of your doshas.

Treatments tailored to your dosha

Based on the dosha test I can personalize your massage or treatment. Each dosha requires a specific approach, which helps to restore your unique balance. Whether you are a Vata, Pitta or Kapha, I make sure that your treatment is exactly what your body and mind need

  • For Vata types I use calming oils and slow, rhythmic movements to reduce fear and anxiety. 
  • For Pitta types I provide cooling with light pressure and soothing oils that help to moderate excessive heat and irritation. 
  • For Kapha types I use more firm and dynamic techniques to release energy and counteract inertia.
Why the dosha test is important

    This dosha test is essential to ensure that your treatment is not only relaxing, but also healing and transformative. By understanding your unique constitution, I can not only help you experience peace and relaxation, but also work preventatively to prevent complaints.
