WHo we are and what we do
Sariah Neff, Founder of Adaptive Therapeutics
Greetings...
Growing up, I was surrounded by a holistic and alternative lifestyle which infiltrated my life in every way. My mom introduced me to many wonderful ways of viewing our sacred, physical vessels and how to create optimal health starting in the kitchen. I am an Ayurvedic lymphatic specialist with a deep passion for guiding my clients in finding and sustaining their health. I feel my ultimate calling ask a Pancha Karma guide, embarking on transformative and lasting retreats with my clients.
Education
I earned my Massage Therapy Certification from Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute and my Associates Degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences in 2019, then my Ayurvedic Health Counseling Certification in early 2020. At the end of 2022, I received my Bachelors Degree in Global Public Health from the University of Arizona where I focused on community education and preventative care.
Ayurveda
Ayurveda came into my life in a more serious manner when I took a course at the former dhyana Center, now dhyana Essentials. I had the privilege of learning Tibetan Cranial and Palate Release from DeAnna Batdorff, then went on to join her Clinical Foundations course in 2019. I continue to learn from her, assist in classes, and work alongside her whenever I am able. This experience, which initially began in 2018, altered my life direction, and it was there that I found a way to take control over my health and body. The Ayurvedic principals we learned and I continue to implement in my every day life, allowed me to understand my body’s signs and symptoms and gave me a comprehensive philosophy for bringing the body back into balance. The dancing of the elements inspires me daily!
My Goals
My goals as a practitioner and health counselor are to help guide my clients in finding their optimal health, heal from trauma, and educate them on how to achieve their own health goals. I seek to empower my clients to take control over their health through education and encouragement. As energy continuously ebbs and flows, it is important to tune in to your body and listen to what it has to say. Our bodies are intelligent and give us all sorts of signs, so long as we have the capacity and tools to listen and love them endlessly!
Let us embark on this journey together, Om Shanti!

If you are wanting something deeper that targets the core of challenges you are facing, book a multi day Pancha Karma inspired retreat. Traditionally, Pancha Karma uses 5 intense actions to cleanse then rejuvenate in order to transform the mind, body and spirit.

Sarah Neff: Bodywork & Ayurvedic Health Counseling
Namasté,
For as long as I can remember health and wellness have been an important part of my life, whether it be daily exercise, food as medicine or communing with nature.
After completion of the transformational bodywork course taught by Fred and his wife Cheryl Mitour in 2001, I was able to confidently work on the body. After years of practice and study I felt a calling to Ayurveda, known as “The Science of Life”. By the power of grace, thankfully I found the dhyana Center run by DeAnna Batdorff. In 2015 I graduated DeAnna’s Ayurvedic Clinical Foundations course, continued on with yoga teacher training and ventured into incorporating sound healing / singing bowls into my bodywork practice. Learning the Ayurvedic principles with DeAnna brought my understating full circle and has allowed me to delve deeper into bringing the body into balance on an elemental level. As a bodyworker and an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, this knowledge is the offering to all. Bringing the body, mind and soul into balance is paramount for optimal health and wellness. As we are all on our individual journey, we are all on this journey of life together. You are invited to feel the full potential of your Pure Vibrations. Serving in the spirit of gratitude.
Choose Love, Sarah

Romina Joy Parungao: Full Spectrum Birth Doula
Hi beloveds! As a holistic full spectrum doula and birth companion, I provide support to birthing people and families through all that is life, death, and everything in between. My practice is deeply rooted and influenced by my ancestral birthing traditions while making room for clients to deepen relations with theirs. I offer gentle and compassionate care to birthing folks throughout their reproductive journey while supporting and advocating for my client’s reproductive agency whether at home, at a birthing center, or in the hospital. While holding the belief that re-villaging is possible, my intention for this work is to reclaim the sanctity that is birth and move towards a society where gestating people are centered, celebrated, and nourished through deep listening, warm foods, and house/heart tending. Currently accepting birth and postpartum clients!
