Pancha Karma
3 Day Transformational Journey
Are you ready to water and grow a more balanced, healthier you? Pancha Karma is transformative and personalized Ayurvedic retreat designed to meet you exactly where you're at and give you the support and tools to heal on a deeper level. You will be supported by Stacey Pfeifer and at least one other intern practitioner. Each day you will receive pulse assessment, tandem bodywork, specialized Ayurvedic treatments, and healing foods and remedies. Using an elemental lens and Ayurvedic assessment tools we will assess your present health and offer tools to cleanse or nourish, and warm or cool based on your body's present imbalances.
Pancha Karma translates to Five Therapeutic Actions: Cleanse. Nourish. Invigorate. Regenerate. Embody. This is an elemental health journey through Ayurveda and other global traditions that have been passed down through time in connection to human suffering and the ability to find relief.

Stacey Pfeifer, Health Tool Queen
I am honored to introduce Stacey Pfeifer, a NAMA certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Western Herbalist & Formulator, with over 20 years of experience as a Bodyworker/Massage Practitioner, CMP.
Stacey will be providing 3hr Deep Dive Sessions, as well as some limited edition Pancha Karma Retreats in the Therapeutic Yurts at dhyana Essentials, nestled in the redwoods of Occidental.
Stacey is the “Health Tool Queen” because no-one uses the tools as meticulously as Stacey does. May it be in bodywork with the art of working tissue layers with a gua sha or cupping just at the right moment, to the medicine she freely shares from her wisdom of the plants; she seamlessly weaves Ayurveda into everything she provides.
Stacey is MY primary Practitioner and MY lymph advocate for selfcare. I need it too!
In the last 15 years, Stacey has taken my clinical course and every course I offer at least 2 times, and some 6 times over. She has been instrumental in the continuation of the community clinics, my course development and has been digging deep for clients in their time of need year after year. A student who took a chance on me, became a respected colleague and a devoted practitioner.
