I had a lovely massage treatment at Omkar Ayurveda. I can't wait to go back for another one! I had an injured shoulder that felt much better after the massage and steam treatment. Nina is a delight to talk with. She spent time with me before to address all of my needs at the time. She is very knowledgeable of Ayurveda and really takes her time to explain what is going on in the body and how to best address it to feel your best.
The new location is very convenient with plenty of parking as well. Looking forward to more treatments soon! At Omkar Ayurveda, our goal is to bring your body, mind, senses and soul into complete balance.

Now, my goal is to disseminate the knowledge I have gathered to help others towards better health and a better life. My name is Nina Shah, Ayurvedic Practitioner at Omkar Ayurveda in San Diego. Ayurveda has been a part of my life since childhood due to the fact that my grandfather was a Vaidya (Ayurvedic physician) in my birthplace of East Africa.
Whether you are seeking to treat an ailment or illness or simply want to live a healthier life, Ayurveda can help you by leading to an awakening in your mind and body! Therapeutic herbal oil massage which is deeply calming and relaxing to the senses leaving the skin silky smooth. It's followed by steam treatment (swedana) to open pores and allow deeper absorption of oil, further relaxing the body and mind.
According to Ayurveda, mung beans have the highest nutritious value among legumes, thus providing you with immense benefits. They are very high in protein and you can consume on a daily basis. They are light to digest and balance Pitta and Kapha as well as slightly heighten Vata. Khichari or khichri or khichdi literally means mixture.

Khichari or khichri or khichdi literally means mixture. It's a dish from India and each khichari recipe is a representative of the region in India it comes from. My recipe is ayurvedic in that it includes use of all six rasas or tastes which makes it a complete One Pot Meal. Note : I use Opo squash in my khichari, available at most Chinese or Indian markets.

Nina is wonderful! I recently relocated to the area and was looking for a place to get Ayurvedic treatments and I'm so glad I found Omkar Ayurveda. Nina has very warm energy and is a lovely person to interact with. I will definitely be going back and thoroughly enjoyed my Abhayanga treatment. If you are looking for a place to get Ayurvedic treatments and consultations in North County go to Omkar!

I had a two hour massage/service my experience was great. As a person who practices spiritually it it very important to me to have someone who is energetically centered. My massage was great, Amanda took great care of me. Nina also performed a service and that was hands down what I was hoping for.
The space was welcoming and warm, I loved the tones of blue in the decore. It was worth the two hour drive.
Thank you ladies.

I just had a Shirodhara (oil drip) Massage last week and it was awesome! It's when you lay down and receive a continuous oil drip around or on your third eye area. It's so meditative, I drifted off so easily. She also gives a Massage first on your neck and shoulders. Then your scalp after the shirodhara is complete. I had the deepest sleep that night, a really relaxed deep slumber, then I felt refreshed the rest of the week. It's a "must try". Nina the Ayurveda Practitioner is really professional and definitely educates you on the benefits of the treatments. I can&apos

Ever since i heard about ayurveda therapies, i wanted to try it. I tried abhyanga at Omkar Ayurveda and its incredible! After massage my mind really clears and i feel very energetic. Nina's massage therapist, Ashley, is extremely good at what she does. She is very patient and explained the whole process really well. Steam treatment that follows the massage feels like it releases all the toxins. Its wonderful. I have regular abhyanga at Omkar every week. I would definitely recommend Omkar Ayurveda to anyone seeking Ayurveda therapies.

I was just to Omkar today and it is not on Hwy 101 in Solana Beach. Omkar Aryurveda is Nina Shah at 3801 Madison St in Carlsbad 92008. We had a delightful time with the therapist for Abhyanga massage. Nina explained that was not her in the other Yelp reviews but someone she used to rent a space from and that was in Encinitas. Yelp has not been helpful with changing her address or investigating the reviews. Correct address is 3081 Madison St, Carlsbad 92008. +1 (619) 572-9840

I've been working with Nina for a few months now to help correct a few health issues. On our initial consultation, Nina was extremely thorough in gathering all aspects of my life (current and previous) that led to the imbalance I was experiencing. Working with Nina is a cooperative effort. She follows up with me on a regular basis via phone, texts and twice monthly office visits. During these follow-ups she asks specific questions, guides me through adjustments I can make, and concocts various herbal blends customized to my current needs.

My friend and I had a shirodhara treatment with her and were very disappointed when we were done. We so wanted to like it but surprised that there was no massaging our scalp involved. We were simply lying down and had oil dripping on our forehead for 40 minutes and done! Extremely unsatisfying if there is no touch of the practitioner involved. Also, the treatment room was part office, part storage, part treatment room and very cluttered. Not a relaxing environment and I expected more for the money we spent.

I highly do NOT recommend her. It will be waste of your time and money. It was for me. She does not explain appropriately to your needs, does not pay attention to detail and she will tell you what you want to hear to get you in her office with false promises. She does not respond to your needs related to your treatment in a timely manner or address your questions. It is all about money for her and no proper care for her patients. Please please please...Do NOT waste your time and money, you can get better treatment for less money with quality else where.

I went to Nina's house in Carlsbad for my consultation. She was extremely unprofessional and did not explain anything. She left the room over and over to check on her children during my allotted time. This was my first experience with Ayurveda and I was really excited about it. I didn't know much going in and I knew just as much leaving. She didn't offer me any type of print out explaining my dosha or offer any type of dietary advice other than "use ghee." She gave me an herb mixture for my dandruff but didn't even write down what was in it. It was a complete waste
