I received the Chakra Basti treatment for immunity and energy with Sole from Vital Veda in Bronte, Sydney. It was a treatment provided over three consecutive days. Even after the first session I felt a lot had shifted. Something was released. I felt the energy move from the base of my spine to my crown. By day three my whole body felt more relaxed, my energy was heightened and my mind clear.From the very first moment of meeting, Sole was warm & welcoming. Highly recommend this treatment. The whole experience was incredibly calming. Dylan & Sole are passionate about helping others heal. They are knowledgeable, full of wisdom and ever so kind, even giving me advice to help family members over seas. Lucky to have come across such wonderful people. True earth angels.
I received the Shirodhara and Back Basti treatments for wellbeing and clarity with Sabi from Vital Veda in Bronte, Sydney. I have felt incredibly vital and physically strong ever since. Sabi is a kind and gentle practitioner who ensured I felt comfortable and luxurious the whole way through. Highly recommend!
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage from Dylan in Bronte, Sydney. This was the most supremely divine treatment I have ever had. It was so wonderfully healing. I highly recommend it. Thank you Dylan, I look forward to more treatments with you. Hayley Wright
I received the chakra basti treatment for immunity and energy with Sole from Vital Veda in Bronte, Sydney. My treatment was truly special and over the seven days I felt my energy replenish as I spent time being healed by the beautiful Sole. I wholeheartedly recommend.
I received the Chakra Basti from Sole, and the treatment was an unparalleled experience of rejuvenation, and restoration. The most beautiful, and potent healing!
WOW. I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage from Dylan in Bronte, Sydney and it was the most nourishing and beautiful experience. Dylan is a true master and has honed his craft for many years. As someone who goes to India, the home of Ayurveda, quite regularly and have received many Ayurvedic treatments over the years, I know a good treatment when I receive one. Not only was Dylan completely professional and amazing at the massage, he is so attuned and in tune with what I needed through the whole process, I felt truly seen and all my healing needs were met ten fold. I look forward to my next treatment with him soon.
My friend booked me an ayurvedic treatment as a birthday gift. Felicia did an amazing job - i really enjoyed the use of the medicated oils on my skin and I left feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. Dylan gave me some really useful feedback on what to do/what to eat in relation to my stress issues. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend this beautiful space to anyone :))
Ive been working with dylan through online consultation -- i felt incredibly supported and hopeful about some health issues im experiencing. I had herbs shipped to Spain which arrived within three weeks (including customs processing). Within a few hours of taking some of the herbs i started to notice profound shifts -- mental clarity, decreased anxiety, more laughter, better digestion, baby soft skin. Highly recommend and so grateful!
It’s taken me a few days to really process my abhyanga massage. I felt incredible during and immediately after, however the real affects on my consciousness, mood and physical body are becoming more apparent days after my treatment, which is really impossible to properly describe. Dylan is a born healer, he has a true gift of intuition and in his presence I feel at ease and balanced. Jai Guru Deva.
Not only is Dylan a great Ayurvedic practitioner who has help me regain and maintain amazing health, he is also an amazing devoted teacher. The online courses share his broad knowledge from his studies over the years.Dylan is a very enthusiastic and passionate person. I will forever be grateful for finding someone like him.Jai Guru Dev
Dylan at Vita Veda has been amazing. I had been getting headaches for years and the last year my migraines and overall health was getting worse. I saw so many Dr’s and had so many tests but no one could help. The last few months I have been seeing Dylan and doing treatments. My headaches have stopped, my health is better and I feel so much better. The best thing is it’s all natural. I now have all my family and friends seeing Dylan as well. Highly recommend!
I received Dylans Abhayanga massage last week in Victoria and it was absolutely incredible. The best massage Ive ever had! (And Ive had a lot of massages). Its like hes speaking to each and every part of my body, with the different massage strokes being different languages the different body parts speak. In this, the whole body feels seen, heard and understood, which allows for a deep relaxation and integration of the whole. If only I could receive this experience every day!I also received back basti and spine treatments, along with chakra basti treatments for immunity, energy and fertility. Sole gave the treatments and her presence was so nourishing, compassionate and healing. I love receiving basti treatments as they work on such a deep level - you feel very rested but also as if you have been given a very deep clean of your spine and chakras! Highly recommend doing these treatments for 5-7 days in a row (I did 5 days and my body was craving more!)
I recently received an Ayurvedic consultation and pulse diagnosis from Dylan in Vital Vedas Bronte Beach clinic in Sydney. I also received the Kati, Greeva and Basti Back and Neck treatment with Felicia.The guidance I have received from both of these practitioners, together with some herbs and modifications to my eating and daily practices, has helped set me on my path to optimal health. After only a very short time following these recommendations, I was already feeling the benefits of improved digestion and uninterrupted (magnificent) sleep.I have no hesitation in recommending these 2 practitioners at Vital Veda.I am feeling very grateful :)Judi, Chiropractor
Dylan is incredible. He has a beautifully warm energy and has helped me heal my psoriasis immensely after struggling with it for over 7 years. I feel empowered after every time I speak with him.
Thank you, Dylan. Have learnt a great deal from our brief consults, also from the knowledge you have shared via the various channels ie. podcast, website, social media.An authentic, wise and generous practitioner and health educator. Highly recommend.
I was fortunate enough to study the ancient science of Ayurveda in a 7-week online course with Dylan and it seriously blew my mind. We went deep! Dylan is one of the kindest and most passionate humans I have met so far, his wisdom seems endless and he is sharing it generously. He isnt only teaching but most of all embodying the true essence of Ayurveda. I couldnt have asked for a better teacher and I am looking forward to more courses in the future. If you are looking for pure wisdom conveyed in an honest and straight forward way, this is it! Also check out his Podcast and Website where he offers so much incredible wisdom for free, highly recommend!! Thank you so much Dylan, JGD :)
Thank you to Dylan for my pulse reading and my back basti treatments.I have had back and neck pain for 20+ years, Dylan and Felicia worked their magic during my treatments and I no longer have pain. I have tried many things, but this has been by far the best experience. I hope somebody reads this and makes an appointment to see Dylan, it will change your life. Thank you again Dylan and Felicia.
I recently completed a short course with Dylan on Essence of Ayurveda and his wisdom is vast, beyond, mind blowing in fact. What I loved most is his commitment to the ancient wisdom and not diluting the messages. There was not a question asked that he wasnt familiar on the topic and was able to provide options for further studies on unique topics. Thank you Dylan for holding this space for us all to learn
Dylan shares Ayurveda with a level of consciousness that is enlightening, inspiring and generous. His trainings, podcasts and offerings are super interesting + expansive and his passion and dedication for Ayurveda can be felt. Im looking forward to more knowledge, treatments and offering from Vital Veda. JGD
Wow! The best massage and treatments I have ever had. The attention to detail and the care used at Vital Veda is second to none. I feel so cared for and nourished by the massages and treatments
I received Takadhara at Vital Veda in Bronte Beach, Sydney. It was easy to trust in the treatment as its clear that this is authentic Ayurveda. The combination of accurate pulse diagnosis and herbs prescribed by Dylan alongside the powerful treatments by Dylan and Felicia have put me back in contact with my true nature- joyful, light and playful. What a precious gift. Thank you!
I have attended two ayurvedic courses by Dylan.Both are very well curated and helps one understand and experience ayurveda in an authentic way.While the first course laid strong foundation for this wonderful life science ,second course on Dhatus and srotas totally blew my mind away.Dr harsha Raju and Dylan goes on to explain how everything is connected in a very realistic approach.The community is wonderful who lives in the ayurvedic way and inspired me to follow the path.Highly recommend it for any one who are on a path to self realization.
I love the work Dylan does with Vital Veda & his commitment to be of service to others. I recently had a consultation (pulse reading) & Abhyanga treatment with Dylan and it was one of the most incredible treatments Ive ever had. Ive had Abhyanga in the past but it paled in comparison to Dylans treatment. I have an auto-immune & get very itchy skin in humid weather, the massage has helped to alleviate the itching, my skin feels incredible, Im sleeping better & have more energy. I highly recommend Dylan & Vital Veda.
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage with Dylan in Sydney and it was by far the most nourishing and healing treatment Ive ever experienced. Dylan seems to operate from a deep and intuitive level. Just being in his presence had me drifting into a meditative state. At times I felt old stresses spontaneously leaving the body. The feeling afterward was one of balance and a deep sense of peace. Cant recommend Dylan highly enough.
I received an Ayurvedic full body & scalp massage from Dylan in a Bell Tent whilst on retreat at Burringbar NSW, immersed in nature. The setting was sublime & combined with the mindful and relaxing massage, I was literally transported to heaven. Dylan played the didgeridoo toward the end of the massage & the sound vibration transmitted through my body was truly electrifying. Thank you Dylan for sharing your gifts & talents. Sat Nam
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage from Dylan from Vital Veda in Bronte, NSW. It was surreal. Firstly is extremely professional and friendly. The massage room is very comfortable and quiet. The benefits of the massage kicked in as soon as it started. I felt a great level of energy and well-being. My mind went to another dimension and it provided with a relaxing sensation. After the session I felt amazing, full of energy and happy. I truly recommend Dylans services. It is obvious that he knows what he does and most important he loves what he does. I felt that his aim is to help people. I already booked my next appointments.
I took Dylan’s online Essence of Ayurveda course and found him very knowledgeable, compassionate and calming, qualities you want from a healthcare practitioner and educator. You can see how passionate Dylan is in embodying the teaching of Ayurveda as well as educating others to experience good health through simple and powerful practices. Dylan learned (and is still learning) from the Raju family, which is a respectable Ayurveda lineage. I missed the lessons the minute the course ended.I have also had an online consultation with Dylan and again he was compassionate and empowering. I came out of the consultation feeling uplifted and an overall feeling all will be well.I have also purchased some items from Vital Veda online shop. Digestive Tea has helped improve my digestion, Abhyanga oil calms my nerve and feel so nourished, Nasika oil took a while to get used to but I find it helps me focus better.If you want to know more or try out any Ayurveda herb or practices, Dylan / Vital Veda is your man!You can also find him at the Vital Veda Podcast, which is packed with lots of wise gems.
Following a health crisis a few months ago that had me hospitalised for a week I consulted Dylan as I was struggling with the recovery. His professionalism, kindness and generosity was beyond anything I’d experienced from an alternative health practitioner before. He just really wanted to help me get better. I have immense gratitude and respect for his work and embodied approach.
I received an Abhyanga massage with Dylan Smith in Melbourne, it was sensational! I have had a lot of massages, and have not experienced anything like Dylans massage. Dylan express a lot of love and attention to detail. Very intelligent and passionate. Thank you. x
Dylan is a genius! He is passionate and thurrough in his work. After having a consultation with him all aspects of my lifestyle and mental health have dramatically improved.
I received Chakra Basti, Back Bastis and Takradhara with Vital Veda in Bronte Beach, Sydney for 7 consecutive days. What a wonderful experience from both Felicia and Dylan. Following a consultation with Dylan 4 months previously, taking the herbs he prescribed, my psoriasis, sciatic nerve pain, anxiety and general well being has benefited tremendously. This is the true ayurvedic experience, I highly recommend Dylan. Thank you so much for the wonderful experiences!
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage from Dylan from Vital Veda in Bronte, Sydney, Australia. Dylan is incredibly talented, stemming from his ability to truly embody the science of health and longevity; Ayurveda.
I had the Abhyanga, Subtle Marma Therapy and Sound Healing treatment from Dylan. He does say that Ayurveda encompasses the entire universe however I wasn’t expecting such a powerful cosmic experience. Bless you for your knowledge and for tapping into the wisdom of the universe.
Have had two wonderful abhyanga treatments with Dylan. Both incredibly soothing, relaxing and blissful at the time but also quite powerful in helping to shift things energetically. I feel the ripple effects for weeks afterwards. Highly recommend.
I have been following Dylan for quite sometime on Instagram now and I find his posts and content very informative and authentic. Its hard to find someone who so truthfully practice what they preach. Ive also been listening to some of the podcasts which I have found extremely informative and it has helped me make small changes to make a big a difference in life. Thank you for sharing the wealth of your knowledge. 🙏
I received a Kati and Greeva Basti treatment for my spine, back and neck with Vital Veda in Sydney. This was a deeply relaxing experience, I felt as if I was away on a retreat. Amazingly, after the treatment, my senses felt sharpened and I experienced an increased appreciation for nature and being outdoors. I’d love to do the treatment again. Dylan also prescribed a diet, lifestyle and herbal plan that has been easy to follow, feels so nurturing and has helped me feel so much better.
I had a Janu Basti knee treatment to help with knee bursitis, Chakra Basti and pulse consultation with Dylan from Vital Veda in Sydney over the last week.Both treatments were very helpful, the Janu Basti with my knee issue and the Chakra Basti helped feeling overall more energised and improved my digestion.It is definitely an experience I recommend to anyone dealing with knee issues, as it really helps. Beside, I really appreciate the work Dylan is doing with Vital Veda, in promoting the true teachings and methods of this science in a warm and comfortable environment.
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage with Dylan Smith at Vital Veda in Bronte, Sydney. After having been the recipient of many of these massages from well trained technicians in India it came as a blessing to be given such an authentic treatment here on home soil. Dylan will spend time on diagnosis and listening prior to commencing, only quality oils and herbs are used and the massage is given with strength, stamina and integrity. Nurturing, steady hands that had me walk out calm, clear and forever grateful.
“I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic Massage from Dylan Smith in Avalon, Sydney. It really had a great effect....a feeling of bliss. A great introduction to Ayurvedic practice 😎💕
I had an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage with Dylan Smith in Sydney at the Vital Veda clinic. It was a deeply relaxing and nourishing treatment that left me feeling grounded and calm. His knowledge and commitment to learning from his teachers in India endow him with a unique level of experience that we can benefit from here in Sydney. Thank you Dylan!
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage, sound healing and back neck and spine treatment (Kati, Greeva and Prsta Basti) and Pulse Diagnosis with Dylan in New York City.Dylan’s treatments showed me what it is possible to feel: the lightness of being, the fluidity and suppleness of the spine, the enlivened vibration during meditation, and much more.The compounding benefits from consecutive days of nurturing the spine with medicated oil was seen pretty quickly in the reduction of my right hand joint discomfort that developed recently. After 10 days from the start of the treatment, it is almost completely gone. Mind blowing!And more importantly, what I got out of the days with Dylan is an enriched daily Ayurvedic practice that I can take with me, and the confidence, determination and continued curiosity that he instilled in me.Dylan is an inspiring teacher. Behind his gentle smile, there is also a solid sense of certainty and authority that can only come from the true embodiment of Ayurveda principles. Grab him if you can, soak in all the goodness that he has to offer. Otherwise, checkout his blog and podcast, tons of knowledge and brilliance in there!Thank you Dylan! Much love ❤️ Jay Guru Deva 🙏
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage and sound healing with Dylan in New York City this past week and it was so deeply grounding and rejuvenating. I also received a consultation with pulse reading prior to the treatment. Dylan is truly an expert in this field--he is sharing authentic Ayurvedic treatments. He has studied with his teachers in India and practices the principles himself every day. The oil treatment was one of the best I have ever received and the sound healing at the end was so powerful--he played the didgeridoo over different points of my spine and above my crown, activating different chakras or energy centers. I walked out feeling like a new person. I highly recommend his consultations and bodywork to anyone interested in exploring Ayurvedic healing.
Best Abhyanga I have ever had! Dylan is skilled, knowledgeable and Im looking forward to be back.
Amazing treatments and human being!
Dylan is a master! Ive had many Abhyanga Ayurvedic massages in the US and India but Dylan was the best. The location of the clinic is also amazing. Went for a ocean swim afterwards. I also got a basti treatment. The herb he suggested have also been very helpful. There are many things to love about Sydney but Vital Veda is one of the best.
The herbs I have been taking (Shodhana Vati) have had a profound effect on my health. I have found that the recurring issues I was experiencing with my digestion in the leadup to my menstrual cycle have close to disappeared. Overall my energy and mood has improved since starting to take these. I feel lighter. Amazing, thankyou👐
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic Massage with Vital Veda in Sydney it felt like fractal patterns realigning my energy to flow. Thank you!
I recently received an Ayurvedic Massage (Abhyanga) and consultation from Dylan Smith in Melbourne. Both experiences were wonderful. During my consultation, Dylan carefully listened to all my concerns, answered my questions and provided me with a detailed and specific treatment plan and follow up. He was very caring, sensitive and thorough. The Abhyanga was a blissful experience, after which I felt very relaxed and balanced. Dylan’s passion, commitment and knowledge of Ayurveda are exceptional and I would definitely recommend him.
I recently attended Vital Veda for a series of Janu Basti (Knee Basti). After suffering with discomfort in my knees and calves for as long as I could remember, the tension and pain has incredibly disappeared since having this treatment. Dylan is learned, thoughtful and combines the treatment with a holistic approach to wellness management. Will be returning for future treatments ASAP!
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic Massage from Dylan in Bondi, Sydney. Words cannot express how amazing this treatment was. Ive had abhyanga oil massages at panchakarma centers in India, and this far surpassed those treatments. Dylans treatments exude love, consciousness, and care for the wellbeing of the client. The abhyanga included traditional aspects, plus lots of extras such as marma therapy. I was only in Sydney for a short while and went for 2 treatments, Id go again every day if I could. Thank you, Dylan!
I had a series of Takradhara treatments with Dylan Smith in Sydney. Before the series I’d been working extremely hard and had allot going on around me. From the first session I felt an immediate peace within my body and it was as though I’d lifted out of the sludge. The second and third session continued to build on this feeling and has stayed with me for a couple of months. Dylan also gave me advice on how to further improve my health and wellbeing through Ayurvedic practices. Highly recommend.
I received an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage and Takra Dhara treatment from Dylan Smith in Sydney - an extraordinary experience. I came in with a deregulated nervous system (feeling very overwhelmed and rattled) and left feeling very comforted, soothed and regulated. Dylan Smith is a very talented healer - attentive and caring. Highly recommended
Dylan Smith is extremely passionate and thorough when it comes to Ayurvedic treatments. I received the back Basti musculoskeletal treatments from Dylan in Melbourne. I have experienced lower back and thoracic pain ever since having my baby 15 months ago, constantly feeling the strain when picking her up, in yoga classes, and after long walks, something I never had before having my baby. I went to a yoga class after my 4th Basti and the pain was literally GONE! No strain/pulling/weak feeling in my lower back at all any my thoracic feels open again. Im so happy I decided to have this treatment and highly recommend Dylans Basti treatments to anyone who has experienced any sort of back pain.I have also found the quality of the Ayurvedic herbs that Dylan provides to be of the purest and highest quality. I highly recommend Vital Veda for all of your Ayurvedic herbs.
I received an Ayurvedic massage (Abhyanga) from Dylan Smith in Melbourne today and have to say the experience is so much more deep and nourishing in comparison to other massages i have received. Dylans passion and commitment to ayurveda is definitely reflected through his treatments and consultations.
Incredibly thorough and informative.
