Complementary Care for Sleep, Anxiety, Pain-Relief, Menopause
Massage, bodywork, and health consultations to help you heal the root cause.
Downtown Chattanooga, TN
Welcome,
I’m Jennifer Maklan, Licensed Massage Therapist, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and owner of Ancient Traditions.
I specialize in Ayurveda (pronounced like ‘eye-your-vay-duh’), a complementary health system from India that addresses physical and mental imbalances with root cause analysis.
I have the highest education for Ayurveda available in the U.S. My skillset allows you to receive amazing bodywork and health guidance that’s tailored just for you.
Ayurvedic massage uses long, sweeping strokes, very much like Swedish massage. The experience is soothing, calming, balancing to the mind and body, and tailored to your needs.
When the timing is right, and you’ve got the right remedies, natural healing is powerful stuff.
Are you experiencing perimenopause?
The North American Menopause Society defines perimenopause as the span of time beginning with the onset of menstrual cycle changes, and other menopause-related symptoms, through one year after the final menstrual period (menopause). It’s sometimes referred to as the menopause transition.
Hot flashes and sweating, called vasomotor symptoms, are the most commonly reported symptoms of midlife women. These symptoms are experienced for a median of 10 years, longer for black women, and longest in women who experienced the symptoms early in their transition.
Talk to your medical provider if you’re experiencing symptoms like these. Use complementary care like massage and health consultations to ease insomnia, calm anxiety, and relieve pain. Learn supportive food and lifestyle choices, supplements and body therapies that may help make this transition easier.
