Where to book an authentic Ayurvedic massage or treatment in the heart of Piemonte.
VEDA Wellness offers Ayurvedic massage, treatments, and multi-day wellness retreats at Borgo Isolabella, a wine resort and relais near Asti, Alba, and Turin in Piedmont, Italy.
Among the vineyards of Loazzolo — where Piemonte's own culture of slowness, season, and sensory attentiveness has been practised for centuries — Poonam Verma brings 20 years of Ayurvedic practice from India.
The result is something that doesn't exist anywhere else in Europe: a place where the science of life in balance meets a landscape that has always known, instinctively, what balance looks like.
Shirodhara. Abhyanga. Dosha consultation. Swedana. Seasonal packages. Day sessions, Ayurvedic retreats, and multi-day immersions.
Ayurveda — the Sanskrit science of life — spent five thousand years observing a simple truth: that the body knows how to be well, and that most of what we call illness is the accumulated consequence of not listening to it.
At VEDA, every session begins with that listening. Not a fixed protocol, but a conversation between Poonam's 20 years of practice and the person in front of her.
According to Ayurveda, each person is unique, composed of a distinct combination of the five elements — ether, air, fire, water, and earth. These elements combine into three fundamental energies called doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Your dosha is your constitutional fingerprint — the particular combination of earth, water, fire, air, and ether that makes you precisely who you are. Understanding it changes how you approach everything: what you eat, how you sleep, which season challenges you, which treatments serve you.
No two sessions at VEDA are alike. Because no two constitutions are.
Air & Ether — Movement, creativity, vitality
Fire & Water — Digestion, intellect, drive
Earth & Water — Stability, strength, calm
Each treatment is selected and calibrated to your constitution, the current season, and what your body is telling Poonam in that session. No shortcuts, only traditional techniques and herb-infused oils prepared in the Ayurvedic manner.
Every Ayurvedic massage and treatment in Piedmont — including Abhyanga massage and Shirodhara — is available as a single day session or as part of a multi-day Ayurvedic retreat.

Book NowHerb-scented steam, warm and enveloping. Softening, allowing the body to release all toxines. Almost always offered in sequence with Abhyanga; the combination is one of Ayurveda's most satisfying pairings.
Book NowWarm herb-infused oil, long slow strokes, the particular rhythm that Ayurveda has refined over centuries. Abhyanga is both the most foundational and the most complete of the classical oil practices.
Book NowA continuous thread of warm herbal oil, falling without interruption at the centre of the forehead for sixty minutes, producing a state of absolute relaxation.

Book NowBundles of warming herbs and rice wrapped in cloth, applied with a rhythm that the body quickly begins to anticipate. Pinda Sveda works deeply into the tissues — the kind of warmth that doesn't sit at the surface but moves through.
Book NowThe beginning of everything. Poonam observes you and asking about your sleep, your appetite, your digestion, the quality of your skin, she builds a picture of your prakriti — your constitutional nature — and your vikriti — your current state. Every further treatment is shaped by what this conversation reveals.
Book NowA comprehensive wellness plan including diet, daily routines, and seasonal adjustments based on your dosha. A roadmap for sustained balance and vitality.
Book NowCertain treatments have been paired in Ayurvedic practice for centuries because they work differently on the same system — one preparing the ground, the other completing the work. These are those pairings.

Poonam Verma trained in Ayurvedic medicine in Ahmedabad, India, where she holds a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) and has practised for over 20 years — Initially at a Hospital and finally at her own clinic, Absolute Wellness, with training in Panchakarma and a specialisation in wellness and constitutional care.
She came to the hills of Piemonte and found, in the landscape around Loazzolo, something she recognised: a culture that had arrived at many of the same conclusions about slowness, seasonality, and the intelligence of the land. VEDA is what happened when those two traditions began their conversation.
In Italy, Poonam practises as an Ayurvedic wellness practitioner. Every session begins with listening — a constitutional assessment, a conversation about what is happening in your body right now. What follows is shaped entirely by what that listening reveals. She works with herb-infused oils, classical techniques, and the particular attention that comes from two decades of practice.
Note: Ayurvedic wellness practices are complementary and not a substitute for medical care. Poonam's BAMS qualification is recognized in India; in Italy, she practices as a wellness facilitator using traditional Ayurvedic techniques.
