Where modern clinical science meets the time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda.
Your body is an interconnected system seeking balance, not just a collection of symptoms. Originating in India, Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that takes a whole-person approach using diet, lifestyle, movement, and herbs to nurture physical and mental wellbeing. While conventional healthcare plays an essential role in treating illness, Tula Ayurveda sits harmoniously alongside it to support your mind, body, and daily rhythm.
Founded by Sarah Quilter, MAgr.Sc., MPharm., AHC, PKT, a community pharmacist and Ayurveda Health Counsellor based in Wicklow and Kerry, Tula Ayurveda offers tailored diet, lifestyle, and self-care guidance to help you identify daily patterns contributing to imbalance and nurture your overall wellbeing.
Ayurveda comes from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge), meaning “the science of life”. It is one of the world’s oldest holistic health systems, with roots in India that go back more than 5,000 years.

2. Seasonal Ayurvedic Cleanse & Digestive Reset
2. Seasonal Ayurvedic Cleanse & Digestive Reset
Step away from the rush of everyday life, make space for yourself and give your digestive system a gentle, nourishing reset. Rooted in Ayurvedic tradition, these short-term seasonal programmes use simple whole foods and warming spices with the aim of clearing accumulated Ama (digestive sluggishness and heaviness) and rekindling Agni (your natural digestive fire). The intention is to support steady energy and clarity without leaving you feeling depleted. Rather than offering a quick fix, this guided reset invites you to slow down, step out of familiar patterns, and build sustainable daily routines you can carry forward long after the season changes.
Choose Your Cleanse Format:
3-Day Gentle Reset (1:1) €160: Includes a 90-minute initial consultation, a personalised seasonal food plan with recipes and warming herbal tea suggestions, plus direct WhatsApp support throughout your three days.
10-Day Deep Reset (1:1) – €280: Includes a 90-minute initial consultation, a customised 10-day meal and lifestyle plan with recipes and herbal teas, a mid-way check-in call, and direct WhatsApp support throughout your cleanse.
10-Day Group Digestive Reset - €180: Experience the support of a small, guided group as we transition through the season together. Includes three live 45-minute webinars (one before, during and after the cleanse), a digital cleanse manual, and a group forum. Next intake: Spring 2027.

Areas of Support
Areas of Support
- Gut Health & Digestion
In Ayurveda, digestion (Agni) is considered the foundation of overall wellbeing. When digestion feels weak or unsettled, it can affect your energy and comfort throughout the day. Common areas of support include:
Bloating and discomfort after meals
Irregular digestion and sensitive bowel habits
Sluggish digestion and post-meal heaviness
Digestive heat, acidity, and irritation
Persistent sluggishness and low energy linked to digestion
Supporting healthy metabolism and sustainable weight balance
2. Stress Management & Nervous System Support
2. Stress Management & Nervous System Support
Modern life places significant pressure on the nervous system, often leaving us feeling stretched thin. Ayurvedic lifestyle and self-care practices can help support:
Everyday stress and feelings of burnout
Deep exhaustion and depleted energy reserves
Feelings of overwhelm, restlessness, and mental tension
Poor, light, or disrupted sleep
Difficulty switching off and unwinding in the evening
Building emotional resilience and mental clarity
3. Hormonal Balance & Natural Transitions
3. Hormonal Balance & Natural Transitions
Hormonal shifts are a natural part of life, yet they can leave you feeling ungrounded when your daily routine is out of rhythm. Common areas of support include:
Navigating perimenopause and menopause transitions naturally
Supporting steady energy and vitality when feeling sluggish
Mood fluctuations, irritability, and emotional sensitivity
Fatigue and temperature shifts linked to hormonal changes
Adapting diet and lifestyle to midlife metabolic shifts
Grounding daily routines to support your body through natural life stages
4. Long-Term Health Conditions
4. Long-Term Health Conditions
Navigating a long-term health condition can be exhausting, and conventional care doesn’t always have space to address how it affects your day-to-day life. Ayurveda looks at the whole person, offering gentle, practical lifestyle support alongside the medical care you are already receiving.
Common areas of support include:
Understanding your constitution (dosha) and how it shapes your daily energy
Supporting gentle digestion to nurture agni (your digestive fire) and gently clear ama (accumulated toxins or sluggishness)
Easing everyday fatigue through nourishing food, rest, and pacing
Calming the nervous system during demanding or stressful periods
Building a realistic daily routine (dinacharya) tailored to your energy levels
Adjusting your diet and self-care habits smoothly with the seasons
Tula means “balance” in Sanskrit, because it reflects Ayurveda’s purpose: to create harmony between mind, body, and spirit. Tula Ayurveda grew from my wish for people to enjoy good health, reconnect with their natural rhythm, and cultivate a nurturing sense of balance each day.

What is Ayurveda?
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, which translates from Sanskrit as "the science of life" (Ayur meaning ‘life’, and Veda meaning ‘science’ or ‘knowledge’), is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. Originating in India more than 5000 years ago, it is rooted in ancient scriptures known as the Vedas. Rather than merely treating the symptoms of a disease, Ayurveda focuses on preventive healthcare and maintaining a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit.
According to Ayurvedic philosophy, everything in the cosmos (including human beings) is composed of the five basic elements (Pancha Mahabhutas): Space (Akasha), Air (Vayu), Fire (Tejas), Water (Jala), and Earth (Prithvi).
These five elements combine in the human body to form three distinct life forces or energies, known as doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. They govern all the physical and mental processes in the body.
Every person has a unique combination of the three doshas, which dictates their physical blueprint, personality traits, and emotional tendencies - a concept known as one's Prakriti (constitution). When the doshas are balanced, we experience optimal health. When they accumulate in excess and become imbalanced, the body is in dis-ease and illness can occur.
Why is Ayurveda Special?
Why is Ayurveda Special?
It respects the uniqueness of every individual
It considers all the levels of the person – mind, body and spirit
It offers natural, holistic ways to support wellbeing and nurture daily health
It emphasises proactive self-care and maintaining internal balance
It empowers you to take an active, informed role in your own wellbeing
It is accessible, using simple, everyday food and lifestyle practices.
It is rooted in a logical, time-tested tradition practiced for thousands of years.
Ayurveda is the art of living in harmony - guided by the simple principle that like increases like, and opposites bring balance. Our symbol, the Celtic triskele, reflects the three doshas moving in harmony. At Tula Ayurveda, I help you introduce gentle, contrasting shifts to your daily food and lifestyle to support your natural wellbeing.

Understanding your Dosha
Understanding your Dosha
By understanding your unique dosha composition, Ayurveda empowers you to make mindful daily choices that align your inner health with the natural world around you in order to maintain balance. This may involve:
Diet (Ahara) - Eating seasonal, whole foods that counteract your dominant or aggravated dosha and ensure a good digestive fire (agni).
Daily Rituals (Dinacharya) - Shaping your daily routine around the earth’s natural rhythms.
Herbal Remedies - Using personalised herbal and spice preparations to gently support metabolic balance.
Body Therapies - Supporting the nervous system with traditional treatments such as Abhyanga (warm herbal oil massage).
Mind-Body Connection - Practising gentle yoga, pranayama (breathwork) and meditation to calm the mind and ease stress.
One who is established in Self, who has balanced doshas, balanced agni (digestion), properly formed dhatus (tissues), proper elimination of malas (waste products), well functioning bodily processes, and whose mind, soul and senses are full of bliss is called a healthy person.

About Sarah Quilter MAgr.Sc., MPharm., AHC, PKT
About Sarah Quilter MAgr.Sc., MPharm., AHC, PKT
I am an Irish community pharmacist with a deep passion for holistic health and preventative wellbeing. My journey began as a child on my parents’ farm, where I grew up with a love for nature, animals, and nutrition. This led me to study Agricultural Science (including a Master’s degree researching herbs as natural alternatives in animal nutrition) before taking the plunge as a mature student to complete a Master’s degree in Pharmacy.
I love my work as a community pharmacist. It is deeply rewarding to help patients with their health every day. Over time, however, I noticed how often long-term wellbeing depends on what happens outside the pharmacy - particularly around nutrition, daily habits, and stress management. While I frequently discussed diet and lifestyle with patients, I felt there was another piece of the puzzle missing when it came to supporting whole-person vitality.
Between 2018 and 2020, I faced my own significant health challenges, including digestive issues, severe burnout, and thyroid cancer. Alongside my conventional medical care, I began exploring the teachings of Ayurveda in depth to support my recovery. Integrating Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle principles into my daily routine helped me rebuild my resilience, nurture my digestion, and restore my energy. That transformative experience inspired me to share this time-tested wisdom with others.
To deepen my training, I qualified as an Ayurvedic Health Counsellor at the Kerala Ayurveda Academy in California under Dr Jayarajan Kodikannath and his teaching team. I later completed training as a Panchakarma technician, which included an immersive two-week internship in India.
Although Ayurveda encompasses a vast body of knowledge, its foundations are practical, grounded, and intuitive. It encourages us to live in harmony with nature, support healthy digestion, and follow consistent daily rhythms.
Today, through Tula Ayurveda, I bring the safety awareness and scientific understanding of my healthcare background together with traditional Ayurvedic wisdom—working strictly in my capacity as an Ayurveda Health Counsellor. By exploring your unique mind–body constitution, I offer practical, tailored diet and lifestyle guidance to help you support your digestion, manage everyday stress, nurture hormonal balance, and move towards greater vitality.

Behind the Scenes
Behind the Scenes
When I am not in the pharmacy, supporting my Ayurveda rogis (clients), making teas and syrups, or practising yoga, you will usually find me enjoying the happy bustle of family life. With three active, school-going children, my days are often filled with driving, cooking, and trying to stay one step ahead of the endless laundry!
I also cherish a little time outdoors each day, where I can slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy some of my favourite things:
Walking my beloved dog, Fiadh
Foraging in the hedgerows for nature’s medicines
Playing golf
