About Us

My name is Mia Rhymes and I am both the author and practitioner at Simply Ayurveda as you browse the web looking for more information on Ayurveda, Holistic or Natural medicine, or their respective diets one of the first things you simply MUST ask is "exactly who are these people to advise me" if you cant find the answer very quickly on that site I suggest you click that back button as quickly as you can, we are talking about Medicine here, not the latest mobile phone which may not quite work as well as you had hoped should you be tempted to buy it, apart from your pocket it really cant hurt you!. Medicine, Diet, and Beauty products can hurt you if abused so it really is important to make sure the person behind that advice knows exactly what they are doing. it seems to me that many of the websites regarding alternate health have been written by people who have little or no knowledge about Ayurveda, Natural health or alternate medicine, what is worse is that they seem to be written by sales people trying to get you to buy products that you do not want nor need at best, and that are potentially harmful or downright dangerous if taken in combination.

Ever since I can remember I wanted to become a nurse and help people my dream came true, after qualifing as a registered nurse at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England Mia went on to work in a Senior Nursing position in some of the Countries Best Hospitals, in 1991 she was rewarded for her hard work and gained a position as a District Nurse in the County of Oxfordshire, part of her role was to regularly vist patients several Nursing Homes in the area, one them being the leading Alternate Care Homes in the Country.

I quote a passage from my book Ayurveda and Natural Health Care for All.

"the first time I visited the home was only was only my second day on the job, it was just a get to know the staff and clients introduction visit.

Literally within minutes I started to realise that things were very different here to all the other Nursing Homes I had visited. When I started to look at the patients records I noticed they were the much of the same age as you would expect, but they simply did not look their age, they all seemed healthier than I had anticipated, this fact was also confirmed by their records, I then interviewed a few patients about the level of care they were recieving, any complaints, problems ect, during the interviews it became very apparent these people not only looked healthy, they acted younger, they had more energy, more life and very strangly none were moaning all the time which I had come to expect from the clients in most Nursing Homes, even if there were nothing to moan about, they would moan, we called it "the sitting in Gods waiting room syndrome". within a few visits I knew that this form of health care was radical, but it worked better than anything I had ever seen, thats when I applied for a position there."

Despite taking a paycut as part of the deal Mia started working at the home where she went on to further study Ayurveda and eventually qualified with an MSc Ayurvedic Medicine from the College of Ayurvedic Medicine, Middlesex University London.

In 2004 she moved to Assilah Morocco with her husband where they now run the Moroccan Ayurvedic Resort.

Mia has been involved in health care for more than 14 years, and now specialises in Alternate Medicine, Obesity, and the fitness aspects of the profession,she is also a member of the Obesity Society and The National Society for Obesity.

Both Mia and her husband are fully qualified Fittness Instructors.
