Sankar Kavirajan

Sankar Kavirajan is a Kerala-trained Ayurvedic Marma therapist with more than 25 years of hands-on experience.

Born into a family with a longstanding connection to Ayurveda, he grew up with traditional knowledge as part of everyday life. He later trained and practised in Kerala before establishing his work in London.

His approach brings together traditional Kerala Ayurvedic massage, Marma therapy and Kalarippayattu-influenced therapeutic techniques, informed by a practical understanding of anatomy, physiology and musculoskeletal function.

Our Family’s Story

A Commitment to Quality

Ayurveda has always been personal to us.

Sankar’s mother, Dr Lalitha Kavirajan, an Ayurvedic doctor in Kerala, became frustrated with the inconsistent quality of preparations available on the market. She established her own factory with a clear purpose: to know what went into each batch and have greater confidence in the products she used.

That commitment continues in our London practice. Our Ayurvedic oils and herbal preparations come from our family’s own factory—the same preparations we choose for our own family members.

It is a connection between our heritage and the care we offer you today.

Our Family Connection

Our Family Connection to Ayurveda in Kerala

Sankar trained under his brother, Dr Unni Krishnan Kavirajan, a qualified Ayurvedic doctor whose guidance helped shape his understanding of traditional Ayurvedic practice.

Dr Unni runs Dr Unni’s Agastyaa Heritage Ayurvedic Hospital & Prittwi Resort in Kovalam, Kerala, bringing together Ayurvedic care and a beachside wellness setting.
