TULA Ayurveda

Where modern clinical knowledge meets the time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda.

Your body is not a collection of symptoms. It is a system seeking balance.

Modern healthcare often treats symptoms in isolation.
Ayurveda looks at the whole person.
At Tula Ayurveda, these two perspectives come together. Ayurveda offers a personalised path back to health.

Founded by Sarah Quilter, MAgr.Sc., MPharm., AHC, PKT, a community pharmacist and Ayurveda health counselor based in Wicklow and Kerry, Tula Ayurveda offers personalised protocols to help individuals explore potential underlying factors that may contribute to imbalance and support their 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.

Areas of Support

Gut Health & Digestion

In Ayurveda, digestion (Agni) is considered the foundation of overall health. When digestion is weak or imbalanced, symptoms can appear throughout the body. Common concerns include:

Bloating and discomfort after meals
IBS and irregular digestion
Sluggish digestion and heaviness
Inflammation and gut-related imbalance
Persistent fatigue linked to digestion
Weight gain or difficulty maintaining a healthy weight

2. Stress Management & Nervous System Support

Modern life places significant pressure on the nervous system, often leading to exhaustion and reduced resilience. Support may help with:

Chronic stress and burnout
Adrenal fatigue and depleted energy
Anxiety and feeling overwhelmed
Poor or disrupted sleep
Difficulty switching off or relaxing
Low resilience and mental fatigue

3. Hormonal Balance

Hormonal shifts are a natural part of life, but when the body is out of balance they can create significant disruption. Common areas of support include:

Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
Thyroid imbalance
Mood fluctuations and irritability
Fatigue linked to hormonal changes
Metabolic shifts in midlife
Supporting the body through natural transitions

4. Chronic Illness Navigation

Living with a long-term health condition can be exhausting, and conventional care doesn’t always address how it affects your whole life. Ayurveda looks at the whole person, offering a gentle, practical way to support your body alongside the care you’re already receiving. Common areas of support include:

Understanding your constitution (dosha) and how it shapes your symptoms
Supporting digestion and strengthening agni, your digestive fire
Easing fatigue through food, rest and daily rhythm
Calming the nervous system during flare-ups and stressful periods
Building a daily routine (dinacharya) that suits your energy
Adjusting your diet and lifestyle 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?

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 Prakruti (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?

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. Like increases like and opposites bring balance. Our symbol, the Celtic triskele, reflects the three doshas being in balance. At Tula, I help you introduce the right contrasting shifts to restore your natural wellbeing

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

I am a community pharmacist with a deep passion for holistic health and wellness. 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 initially study Agricultural Science (including a Masters Degree where I researched herbs as an alternative to growth promoters in pigs) and then to work in Animal Nutrition before taking the plunge as a mature student to do a Masters Degree in Pharmacy.

I love my work as a community pharmacist. It is incredibly rewarding to help patients resolve health concerns, from everyday minor ailments to acute and chronic conditions. However, over time, I noticed a frustrating pattern: while modern medicines can be life-saving in acute illness, chronic care often focuses on managing symptoms rather than addressing underlying causes. While I frequently found myself discussing diet and lifestyle with patients as an important role in one's health, I always felt there was another piece to the puzzle that was missing.

Between 2018 and 2020, I faced my own significant health challenges, including gut health issues, adrenal fatigue, and thyroid cancer. Seeking a more holistic path to recovery, I began exploring the teachings of Ayurveda in depth. By integrating Ayurvedic principles with my Western clinical training, I developed a personalised protocol that helped me address these concerns, support my healing, and restore my energy. This experience ultimately inspired me to want to offer others the same balanced approach to care.

To deepen my understanding of Ayurveda, I trained as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor at the prestigious Kerala Ayurveda Academy in California under the renowned Dr Jayarajan Kodikannath and his esteemed teaching team. I later qualified as a Panchakarma technician which included a transformative two-week clinical internship in India.

Although Ayurveda encompasses a vast body of knowledge, its foundations are practical and intuitive. It encourages us to live in harmony with nature, support healthy digestion, and follow consistent daily routines.

Today, I combine Ayurvedic wisdom with my clinical pharmacy background to help you move towards greater health and vitality. By assessing your unique constitution, I can tailor diet and lifestyle recommendations to your individual needs. Whether you want to support your gut health, manage stress, balance your hormones, navigate chronic illness, or live more mindfully, I am here to guide you.

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
