About the Center
The Ayurvedic Center of Vermont was founded in 2006 by Allison Bransfield Morse, who after spending five years at The Ayurvedic Institute in New Mexico has been dedicated to sharing Dr. Vasant Lad’s teachings with the world. We are a highly trained team of passionate, dedicated Practitioners that not only love working with our devoted clients but enjoy working with each other.
First and foremost the clinic is a space for healing; a place to rest, restore, and realign. We are a healthcare clinic, retreat center and school which teaches and instills the wisdom and principles of Ayurveda and Yoga. The Center also is home to a beautiful guesthouse and herbal apothecary.
Our mission is to create a place for healing where the subtle, yet profound teachings of Ayurveda can be experienced in a peaceful and loving environment.
About the Location
The Ayurvedic Center of Vermont is located in a small, quaint village surrounded by the Green Mountains outside of Burlington, Vermont just ten minutes from the Burlington International Airport.
The clinic is located in a beautiful historic building built in 1840 for the village Doctor. We are proud to uphold the tradition of community support through holistic treatment, just as they did in the mid 1800’s through herbal medicine and whole foods.
On site is the Shivali Guesthouse, a charming newly built farmhouse, where guests and clients stay during Panchakarma or Retreat. Solar powered on 3.5 acres, the guesthouse is light, bright and clean with a spacious dining area and kitchen made with materials like maple wood and Vermont granite. There is a shared outdoor garden space and library. Well equipped and peaceful, the Guesthouse offers sanctuary during your stay and will be your home for health and healing.
A note from founder and Ayurvedic Doctor,
Allison Bransfield Morse
“Life is so precious. It’s a gift. I feel that if people are not able to be in their truth, humanity is missing out. The planet is missing out. When people are embodied in their healthy self and living it, the spirit is light, the mind is clear, the body is radiant. I’ve witnessed it with our clients again and again. I love what I do and over the twenty five years I’ve been practicing, my passion and devotion to serve and guide others has only deepened. I’m honored to witness people stepping into their truth, healing on a deep level and feeling their best. I’m also honored to work with an incredible team that is like family. I look forward to working with you and welcoming you to this healing home….it is more than a clinic.” —With love and light, Allison
