Endometriosis+
Menstrual pain, Migraine, Conjunctivitis, Sinusitis
Review in Helsinki by Aura (47-year-old, woman) I found Satva Helsinki through a friend, and I am very grateful I did. I have lived with endometriosis, migraines, and anemia for decades, as well as recurring eye and sinus infections in recent years. I joined the 3-month coaching program, received the 5 elements assessments, and had Abhyanga + Swedana treatments. The whole process lasted a little over five months. The treatments were gentle yet very effective. Little by little I began to notice how things were falling into place, and I understood better how I can support my own wellbeing. Communication was clear and caring, and I always felt listened to and well supported. The impact on my endometriosis has been life-changing. For the first time in decades, I have been able to live without pain medication. I have also learned to recognize my own natural rhythm and how to organize my life and habits so that they truly support my health and balance. I feel the investment was absolutely worth it, and I warmly recommend Satva Helsinki to others. - Aura
Infertility+
Severe digestive problem,
Weight loss, Fatigue
Review in Denmark by Joanna (Online Consultation) Michiko is an amazing woman, healer, and dear friend. She always greets me with a soft, open heart during her treatments. During one of our sessions, I was struggling with an unidentified virus that had shut down my digestive system. I lost 10 kg in just one month, and the hospital could not help me. I felt so weak that I couldn’t even take the elevator in my building, let alone digest something as simple as carrots. Thanks to Michiko’s dietary guidance, Ayurvedic supplements, and self-oil massage practices, I was able to recover within three weeks. I started with gentle walks around my neighborhood and grew stronger every day. As a beautiful “side effect” of the treatment, I found myself laughing again—and I became pregnant with my first baby in my 40s. After many years of trying to conceive, I became pregnant just two months after my total health collapse. It felt like a true miracle. I believe that Michiko’s deep and complex knowledge—gained through her dedicated Ayurvedic studies—combined with her unique and caring personality, make her a true treasure, both as a doctor of Eastern medicine and as a human being. The wisdom Michiko shares during treatment is practical, applicable to everyday life, and lasts far beyond the period of struggle. It’s a kind of secret knowledge of self-awareness that stays with you for a lifetime. Truly recommended.

Review in Helsinki by Yvonne (45-years-old, woman) After years of struggling with persistent health issues, I decided to explore Ayurvedic treatment and it has been life-changing.

Postnatal Challenges
Frozen shoulder,
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Review in Helsinki by Sarah (37-years-old, woman) After giving birth to two children, I didn't realize at first how important it is to take care of the body as a whole and recover from the experience itself. Ayurvedic holistic treatment with Michiko has been a very healing experience and a new beginning to start strengthening the body again. I had pain points in my body for the last 4 months. Tendonitis in the wrist, very tight muscles in the shoulder/shoulder area, and general stiffness in my body. I was very tired before the treatments. I had 4 treatments in 3 weeks. These four treatments I received from Michiko were each different. My body was listened to carefully, the treatments helped me a lot to get rid of the worst pains in the shoulder/scapula region. My wrist started to get stronger again and I started to understand the postpartum change that has happened in my body. I received important advice on how to continue at home, so that the healing would take place through my own process. I got e.g. oils so that I can massage myself and give time to my body. In the future, I am also interested in continuing the importance of nutrition, so I definitely want to continue Ayurvedic treatments/diet. - Sarah
Menopause
Slow metabolism, joint pain, hormonal challenges
Review in Helsinki by Nina (56-years-old, woman) Menopause caused a lot of changes in my body. The doctor had prescribed me several different medications and most of them caused various side effects such as high blood pressure, estrogen, asthma, arthritis, and cholesterol medicine. I wanted to get rid of drugs and constant fatigue and brain fog. The metabolism was slow and the joints ached from even the slightest exercise. The blood pressure medication first caused dizziness, the second caused swelling, and the third caused dehydration. In the end, the dehydration of the body caused ulceration of the mucous membranes and I lost my ability to walk, and for my pain the doctor only prescribed painkillers, which I took every six hours for two weeks, but the symptoms only got worse and my shoulder dislocated while sleeping in a medicine bag. I also fell ill with a high fever, I asked Michiko for advice on a balanced diet to support my recovery. The cleansing Ayurvedic diet improved my condition as a convalescent and I received several Ayurvedic nutritional supplement recommendations. I felt better within a week and I wanted to continue the diet recommendations. I was also treated by Michiko for five days at her practice, where I received an oil massage, sauna heat treatment and a diet planned for me. I felt so much better that I was motivated to continue with the recommendations that fit me. I voluntarily stopped all my medications because I wanted to see if my old symptoms would get better or worse. After three months I am still without the medication I used for several years. I feel brighter and more energetic. My metabolism is also better and my mind is lighter. I am grateful that I received important support and advice from Michiko. Warm recommendations. -Anette
Overcoming Grief
Overcoming traumatic life events
Review in Helsinki by Liisi (39-year-old, woman) I heard about Satva Helsinki through my friends who recommended me visiting and who had given me a gift card. I was hoping to receive treatment for some personal health issues and to overall feel more relaxed and get to know Ayurvedic treatments to see if they could help me. I also wanted to find relief from stress related things. After a consultation we made a plan of three treatments which involved oil massages and sauna. They were done within 3-4 months time period. I also received dietary tips and recommendations about healthy lifestyle which were useful. My experience of using these services and treatments was overall very positive and I definitely benefited from them. Even just three appointments made a very good impact in my general wellness. Especially the days and some weeks after the treatments my skin felt smoother and more clear, I slept better and I was feeling overall more relaxed. Michiko is very skilled professional and her attention to detail is very high. The treatment was very well planned and carried out. I felt safe and secure and I feel like my opinions and wishes were heard during the whole process. I felt like I was very well cared for. The studio and sauna were beautifully decorated and very pleasant to visit. The oils and products used by Michiko seemed to be of high quality. I would like to gain more understanding of them in the future. I would definitely recommend this to other people. I would advise consulting Michiko and voicing your wishes as she is very much in tune and equipped giving you personally tailored treatments and advice. Best wishes, Liisi
Lower Back Pain
Herniated disk and Sciatic nerve pain
Review in Helsinki by Anna-Stina (39-years-old woman) In the past years, I have been dealing with back problems, potentially due to a herniated disk and sciatic nerve pain. Earlier this year, I sought treatment from a chiropractor which provided some relief. However, the pain gradually returned, leaving me eager to explore new and alternative options. My knowledge of Ayurveda was quite basic before I began my sessions with Michiko. Over two weeks, I underwent two Ayurvedic treatments, each offering a unique experience. Just three days after the first session, I noticed a significant reduction in the returning pain. I have been able to resume my daily activities with relative ease. The positive outcome has brought me happiness and relief, but it is worth mentioning that the treatments themselves were truly extraordinary. I found solace in the various elements incorporated into the sessions, such as the soothing massages, the application of warm oil, and the delightful aromatic scents of Ayurvedic herbal oils. On both occasions, I entered a state of deep relaxation and meditation. To top it all off, the sauna at the end of each treatment was the perfect finishing touch. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Michiko's gentle treatments and approach to anyone seeking relief. - Anna-Stina
