What Happens in Your Consultation

A 60-minute consultation with Dr Ajit to understand your Prakriti (your natural constitution) and Vikruti (your current imbalance).

• A detailed conversation about your health history, digestion, sleep, stress and daily routine

• Traditional Ayurvedic assessment, including pulse, tongue and eye (iridology)

• A personalised one-month plan covering diet, daily routine, herbs and therapies

• Clear next steps, with a follow-up after one month to refine your plan

Most people leave feeling understood, and clear about what to do next.

Who This Consultation Is For

People who come to see Dr Ajit are often:

• Tired, run down or close to burnout

• Living with stress, anxiety or poor sleep

• Dealing with ongoing digestive discomfort, such as bloating or reflux

• Going through hormonal change, including fertility, perimenopause and menopause

• Managing a long-term or inflammatory condition alongside their medical care

• Experiencing recurring skin, joint or immune concerns

• Feeling unwell when tests show no clear cause

• Looking for a natural, whole-person approach to their health

Why It Works Differently

Most of us have been taught to expect a pill for every ill. Ayurveda starts with a different question: why is this happening in the first place?

No practitioner can hand you health. Dr Ajit looks beyond your symptoms to the root cause, the pattern underneath how you digest, sleep, carry stress and move through your day. He then guides you through simple, sustainable changes built around the life you actually live.

This is not a quick fix. It's a partnership, and it works because you are part of it. The balance you create is the kind that lasts.

In Person or Online

In person at our Parnell clinic, 465 Parnell Road, Auckland.

Online by video call, wherever you are.

Whether you visit us in person or connect online, you receive the same dedicated time, attention and personalised care from Dr Ajit. Drawing on 45 years of clinical experience, he takes a comprehensive approach to understanding your health: your history, current concerns, daily routine and the patterns that may be shaping your wellbeing.

Both options follow the same thorough consultation and include a personalised one-month plan tailored to you. The fee is the same either way.

Consultation Fees & Follow-Up Care

Initial Consultation: $190 | 60 minutes

Follow-Up Consultation: $90 | 30 minutes

Your initial consultation is the beginning of a personalised approach to your health. As you begin making changes, Dr Ajit may recommend follow-up appointments to review your progress, understand how your body is responding and adjust your plan where needed.

The number and frequency of follow-ups depend on your individual health concerns and goals. Some people need only a few appointments, while others choose ongoing support as part of looking after their health.

What our clients are saying

I arrived feeling unwell, stressed, lethargic and despondent. Now after completing Panchakarma I feel rejuvenated, confident, inspired, energised and free in spirit. I will be back. God bless you all abundantly at Planet Ayurveda.

Anna Stehr | Panchakarma | Brisbane, Australia.

"15 years ago I had the privilege of having an appointment with Dr. Ajit at Planet Ayurveda and so started my Ayurveda journey of self care, with the added awareness of knowing which foods suited my body type. I am now 85 and thankful to still be an active healthy person, which I feel is the result of having embraced all the simple routines that Dr. Ajit taught me. Thank you Planet Ayurveda*"

Annette Leach | Consultations | Hamilton

I am glad I came for the Panchakarma Treatment, I knew the first day I arrived that it was the right decision to make and now on day 10 I know it's the start of something great - a brighter path that I would otherwise not have found. I have learned so much, words cannot describe how much! Thank you all.

Baily | Panchakarma | Hawkes Bay, NZ.

My second experience of this wonderful healing experience. This experience was at a deeper level and has left me feeling wonderfully light, relaxed and energetic, I feel grateful that we have this wonderful treatment available here in Auckland. Bless you in your wonderful work.

Beverley Enders | Panchakarma | Auckland, NZ.

To the daily cleansing, regenerating rituals I submitted; to their gentle kindness, angelic sweetness, care and understanding, wisdom and counseling I was committed! I will cherish the memories of my healing experience and grateful for the helping hands really.

Catherine Chan | Panchakarma | NSW, Australia.

I am me! I am 46 years young and finally feel at peace with myself. After 4 months of chemotherapy I once again feel excited about life, thanks to Leanne, Mary and Dr Ajit and to God for Panchakarma.

Christine Campbell | Panchakarma

I have gone through the negative and positive emotions of going through this treatment, but there is no gain without a little discomfort at certain times. It has been a great experience; I will complete this treatment again in the future.

Colin Roberston | Panchakarma | Waiuku, NZ.

"I was introduced to Planet Ayurveda by a friend in 2006 or so and have been going ever since. When I follow Dr Ajit's advice my health always hugely improves. Dr Ajit's recommendations work very well but you have to follow them if you want great results. The therapeutic treatments have been of great benefit to me. The ones I normally have are the Katibasti, massage and steam, and shirodhara.

As someone who drives a lot and plays violin the katibasti has been excellent in curing my back problems and preventing them from reocurring. The massage and Shirodhara help me release tension and feel relaxed. I find they have a calming affect, putting both body and mind into a well balanced state. Many thanks to Dr Ajit and the team for the great care I have received over the years, and am still receiving!"

Emily, New Mum | Consultations

This has been the most profound and humbling experience for me. It is wonderful to have been heard, not judged but understood. Thank you to Dr Ajit for his undivided care and professionalism.

Erika Holden | Panchakarma | Gisborne, NZ.

I have enjoyed this second Panchakarma Treatment even more than first one... I am particularly touched and moved by the care and love that everyone has given me. The massages were healing, the food was healing, you will be in my heart... all of you. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.

Evy Hirshon | Panchakarma | Tahiti, French Polynesia

As with the treatment I received a year ago, I have gained a lot of benefits; physically my joints are wonderfully improved, my sleep is good and I feel lighter as well. However, I have also received great mental benefits. I started the program in a state of grief and distress and now I feel like a different person. I am calm, settled and comfortable. I cannot express my gratitude strongly enough.

Gaynor Hamill | Panchakarma | Auckland, NZ.

I consider myself extremely blessed to have been led to Dr Ajit and his wonderful staff, 3 years ago when faced with a serious illness. At that time I read about Ayurvedic Panchakarma Treatments but circumstances were not right for me to attend treatments at that time. I always knew I would come for the treatment and now I have done so. It has been everything I could have imagined and more.

Jacqui Hunt | Panchakarma | Napier, NZ

A huge Thanks you to Dr Ajit and the wonderful staff at Planet Ayurveda, in particular Michael and Kay who were my therapists, you guys were the very best. It has been a truly healing, calming and learning experience and for that I will be forever grateful. Love to you all.

James Dyson | Panchakarma | Burleigh Heads, Qld.

I have felt the secret healing energy and it has been through your hands, your health, your smiles, your food, your professionalism, the ambience and the music. I am blessed to have had the experience of Panchkarma with such beautiful souls. I feel more peace and less pain and I am grateful. God bless Ayurveda.

Jo Kelly | Panchakarma | Byron Bay, Australia.

Dear Dr Ajit, Leanne and Vivek, my third cleanse with you has been most rewarding. The love and care you have shown has made me feel very special. I offer my humblest gratitude to the creator for allowing me to share in this experience. Many many thanks.

John Nash | Panchakarma | Auckland, NZ.

Thank you so much for getting my health back on track. As a result of my consultations (with Dr Ajit) and the 7 day treatment, I feel a different person not only physically but mentally more healthy with a greater awareness of my body.

Julian Willcody | Panchakarma | Maraetai Beach, NZ.

At all times I felt his (Dr Ajit) loving presence guiding and supporting me through my challenging time. I am now renewed in body, mind and spirit and feel I have the optimism, strength and motivation to continue on my path.

Julie Skele | Panchakarma | Gold Coast, Australia

“He guided us with various massage treatments and within 2 months and just 6 appointments, I could walk again without crutches. And not just small distance I am talking about up to 2 kms. My physio and the team of doctors at the hospital were amazed with my progress. I was given 1 year to recover but Dr. Ajit and his wonderful team at Ayurda did it in just 2 months.

My family and I are so grateful to everyone here who have helped making this miracle happened.

Lot of love”

“Amazing massage and shirodhara. I feel so much better after seeing Dr Ajit and having these treatments.


He has also helped my son overcome bad eczema and breathing issues. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

Kate. L | Consultations

Every high expectation was exceeded. Dr Ajit is a rare, unique practitioner, he is professional, sensitive, considerate and spiritually in tune with his client's deeper needs. A truly rewarding experience far beyond massage and relaxation. Thank you.

Kenneth Coleman | Panchakarma | Maroochy River, Australia.

“As a result of consultations with Dr. Ajit and treatments at the Ayurda clinic/wellness centre, my health has radically improved. Not only have some specific illness issues resolved but my overall wellbeing is steadily becoming stronger than it has been for a very long time.

This is “healthcare” as it should be.


Dr. Ajit imparts a wealth of knowledge and advice with compassion and integrity and advice that is clear and understandable. His Ayurveda recommended regimens are practical and empowering as can be implemented in ones daily life ongoing.”

Ketana. S | Consultations

"Dr. Ajit is amazing! He spoke to me about the real causes of my problems and gave me a program to follow that would help me eradicate my issues from the root. No western medical doctor has done that before.

Thank you and highly recommend Ayurda."

Kriti. R | Consultations

"I have been visiting Planet Ayurveda and Dr Ajit for over 20 years now.

Throughout this period I have found each experience very restful, peaceful and practical. Whether I am having an Ayurvedic massage or simply there for a consultation with the Doctor the result is always satisfying and reassuring. When I am feeling insecure about the state of my health and I think Vata Dosha is out of balance I know it is time to visit Dr Ajit. Being a holistic based experience the Doctor will run through my diet, emotional health, take my pulse, and make very practical and insightful suggestions. If herbal remedies or old fashioned home remedies are needed then that will be indicated, then it is up to me to put the suggestions into practice.

I am very grateful to Dr Ajit and his team for all the care, love and attention they have shown over the years. I have a greater understanding of my body and emotions due to practicing Ayurvedic medicine."

Linda | Consultations

I am in awe of the power of Ayurveda and healing service you have provided to me and many others. As a client I have felt genuinely cared for and supported through the ups and downs of the treatment process.

Mary Woolley | Panchakarma | Newcastle, Australia

I have had debilitating CFS chronic fatigue syndrome for four years but with a personally tailored diet, meditation, breathing routines and Panchakarma I have been set on a course toward regaining the best possible health for my body and mind. Dr Ajit has great wisdom and his dedication and enthusiasm in sharing this with others is a blessing for anyone who is ready to make positive change in their life.

Matthew Wallace | Panchakarma | Nambucca Heads, Australia.

“Highly recommended. Dr. Ajit's knowledge and ability to empower you to support your own wellbeing is awesome. Most grateful for this clinic.”

Michael. W | Consultations

How do I feel.... well oiled, well steamed, well drained, and flushed, well cared for, attended to and loved. All ends accounted for. Thank you.

Paul and Pennie | Panchakarma | NSW, Australia

"I appreciate Dr. Ajit with reverential respect for listening to me, acknowledging and understanding my feelings and emotions.

He empowered me to understand the root cause of my health issues and works in partnership to enrich my life and living. Soon, Ayurda became a retreat, to better my being.

Next to my bed lies a copy of Dr. Ajit's book "Ancient Secrets..."gifted by my mum stating " This book of Dr. Ajit is the most valuable and richest inheritance to you , my dear son!" which I refer quiet frequently. Sincere gratitude and best wishes to Dr. Ajit and his incredible team, to thrive and contribute greatly for the well being of humanity! Nga mihi. Arohanui"

Rohit. A | Consultations

“It was a relief to meet Dr Ajit and finally get a diagnosis for my symptoms and within a week I am feeling much more stable, calm and digestion settled. I also purchased Dr Ajit's book and can recommend this too.”

Rose. W | Consultations

The reason for taking a Panchakarma Treatment was to detoxify my body, maintaining my personal health and wellbeing. The result has been far beyond just the detoxification as old ailments have been healed and I feel a profound softness within my inner being.

Taree | Panchakarma | Waitakere, NZ.

"Dr. Ajit helped me resolve a recurrent and deadly eye inflammation issue called as Uveitis. I suffered from this condition for 3.5 years.


My left eye would regularly inflame causing vision loss, floaters in the eye, pain, headaches and many more challenges.


The eye inflammation started impacting on my work and on my ability to drive.

Dr. Ajit provided a holistic treatment through a daily routine and eye drops. This helped me to combat my eye condition. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Ajit’s advice. He has given me my eyesight back."

Vij. K | Consultations

When I saw the brochure for this treatment I had no idea what to expect but I know now that this was for me. My back was in great pain, I found it difficult to get motivated to do anything because of it. I also needed to lose a lot of weight and felt there was no way out. Now I feel like I'm on the beginning of a new path, my back is at 95% and my body feels 100% healthier.

How Do Consultations Work?

Your first consultation is 60 minutes with Dr Ajit. Through a detailed conversation about your health history, digestion, sleep, stress and daily routine, together with traditional pulse, tongue and eye (iridology) assessment, he builds a picture of your Prakriti, your natural constitution, and your Vikruti, your current imbalance.

You leave with a personalised one-month plan covering diet, daily routine, herbs and therapies, and clear next steps.

Your initial consultation is the beginning of a personalised approach to your health. As you begin making changes, Dr Ajit may recommend follow-up appointments to review your progress, understand how your body is responding and adjust your plan where needed.

The number and frequency of follow-ups depend on your individual health concerns and goals. Some people need only a few appointments, while others choose ongoing support as part of looking after their health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll discuss your health history, current concerns, diet, sleep, stress, and daily routine. Dr Ajit uses traditional Ayurvedic assessment methods to create a personalised one-month plan.

No. Many people book because they still feel unwell even when tests look “normal.” If you have recent results, you’re welcome to bring or share them.

Some people feel clearer and more confident immediately because they finally understand what’s going on. Results vary based on the chronicity and depth of the imbalance. You can often feel a shift in energy, digestion, and sleep within the first 2–4 weeks of consistently applying the recommendations. Deeper, long-term conditions may require a commitment of several months.

A personalised plan for the next month, which may include diet and lifestyle guidance, recommended herbs or products, and suggested supportive therapies if relevant.

No. Ayurveda is a root-cause approach. Results depend on consistency, and the most meaningful changes come from steady daily practice.

No, you don’t need to be a vegetarian. Food is a key part of healing, especially when the gut needs support. The biggest misconception about Ayurvedic eating is that it’s all about giving things up. In reality, when your body starts receiving the nourishment it truly needs, the intense cravings for foods that trigger imbalance often soften on their own. You won’t feel deprived; you’ll simply start feeling better and naturally choose what helps you stay that way.

Our approach is about adding intelligence to your kitchen, not taking away joy. You’ll be guided with clear, practical choices that support digestion and help your body return to balance.

No. Ayurveda can often be used alongside other care. Any medication changes should only be made with your prescribing doctor.

Not at all. We focus on sustainable, incremental change. Your practitioner will recommend a few highly specific, practical steps tailored to your life—usually starting with easy diet adjustments and a simple daily routine change. The goal is to make health gentle, not overwhelming.

Come with your main concerns, a brief health history, and a list of current medications or supplements. If you have recent test results, bring them along.

Most people benefit from a follow-up after one month to review progress and refine the plan as the body responds.
