About Arjuna
...Arjuna as a demigod, son of the Storm God Indra, disciple of Lord Krishna.
Arjuna was the heroic, warrior Prince in the Bhagavad Gita, an epic scripture written in India in the 2nd Century B.C.E. Symbolically within the saga, Arjuna represents the best aspects of humanity; courage, strength, humility, intelligence and wisdom.
The story begins with Arjuna in great moral distress. As he journeys into a war he does not want to fight, his fear leads him to seek the guidance of Krishna's teachings. Krishna then appears to him, remaining there throughout the ride, and teaches Arjuna the greatest lesson of all, the true nature of Being. With each passing lesson, he learns how to accept his fate and honor the struggles along his path.
This is an important and wonderful lesson for us all. For none of us are without our struggles, yet still, it is important to honor them. For without our struggles, we would never learn nor grow.
...Arjuna as an Ayurvedic Medicine for the Heart
In Ayurveda, Arjuna is a traditional plant medicine used for treating imbalances of both the physical and emotional heart. It comes from the red bark of the Arjuna tree and is known as one of the sacred trees of the riverbanks.
In honoring this beautiful heart medicine, along with the noble qualities of the disciple of Krishna, we have chosen the blessings and guidance of the name Arjuna for our practice.

Our Mission
Sri Dhanvantari (featured above) Physician to the Gods & Father of Ayurvedic Medicine
At Arjuna, the path to wellness begins with our patients setting an intention towards a sincere desire to change. This 'change" can take on many forms, such as through your words, your mental attitude, or your physical/spiritual body.
We believe that the process of rebalancing your health is a cooperation between Practitioner and Patient, and that radiant health can be achieved through one's own awareness of how their lifestyle and dietary habits affect their personal wellbeing.
Our minds and bodies naturally seek balance. Every symptom of dis-ease is essentially an alarm, alerting you to bring more awareness to a specific organ or system of the body. It is important to remember that healing chronic ailments takes time, and having a certain level of forgiveness and sensitivity towards one's self is an important part of the process.
We recommend beginning your healing journey by scheduling an Initial Consultation appointment with one of our knowledgable Practitioners. We will gather a complete health history along with diagnostic tests to create a Wellness Plan that both compliments your health goals and individual needs.

May all beings, everywhere, be healthy, happy and free.

A.W.E./ C.V.S.T./ B.F.A./ M.S.
Randilee Golden is a Certified Ayurvedic Wellness Educator, Certified Vibrational Sound Therapist, and Certified Theta Practitioner. She was classically trained in Ayurveda at the Southern California University of Health Sciences. While there, she studied under world-renowned Ayurvedic Doctors, Dr. Anu Kizhakkeveettil and Dr. Jayagopal Parla, and worked as an Ayurvedic Pharmacy Assistant at the Campus Health Clinic. Following her studies there, she furthered her knowledge by attending continuing education classes with Dr. Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute in New Mexico.
As a holistic therapist, Randilee believes in the intelligence of the body and its natural desire to seek balance and health. In Ayurveda, every patient is considered unique, in both their constitution and lifestyle. Therefore, her approach is always customized to the specific needs of her patients. She blends the wisdom of both Eastern and Western medicine and wellness therapies.
She first discovered the wonders of plant medicine when she was a child, learning alongside her mother as they tended to the various gardens surrounding their home. Self-care routines and proper nutrition was always a focus growing up. Then, when her mother was diagnosed with a genetic form of Breast Cancer, they deepened their self-study of alternative health therapies, whole-food nutrition, and medicinal herbs together.
The knowledge they gained during that time made all the difference in terms of her mother's health and she was able to go into remission for over 20 years.
Then, when Randilee was an undergraduate, she contracted a form of Lyme disease that strongly affected her neurological system. Drawing upon her years of study, she learned how to integrate her experiences by combining nutrition, medicinal herbs, yoga and meditation to help manage her symptoms and regain her strength.
Randilee went on to receive both her Bachelor's of Fine Arts and Master's of Science in Art Education from Alfred University. She then worked as a Fine Arts teacher at a Magnet Arts school for eight years. After the birth of her son, she resigned from teaching and decided to pursue her passion for holistic medicine and helping others, and began her credentialing as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Vibrational Sound Therapist and Theta Healer. Arjuna is a life long dream realized and a beautiful collaboration between her and her husband.
While at Arjuna, we believe in providing a clean, safe and nurturing environment for our patients. Together, we will walk the path back to radiant health.
