I’m Madeline Armstrong, and I opened Gorge Ayurveda in 2023 after completing my studies at California College of Ayurveda (CCA). I was lucky to learn with wonderful Ayurvedic teachers and practitioners there, and I’m excited to bring my knowledge of healing the body to the Gorge community. I’m also a proud member of NAMA (National Ayurvedic Medical Association).
I moved to White Salmon in 2021, after discovering the Gorge by accident on a pandemic road trip and falling in love. I knew immediately that I wanted to live here, and that feeling is reconfirmed every day I get to wake up here. I have been lucky to find a beautiful community here, full of creative, smart, and thoughtful people who teach me so much. This part of the world feels like home to me, with a connection to nature I never knew I was deeply craving.
Originally from California, I have lived all over the globe, in places such as Thailand, Peru, Costa Rica, and France. I now hold community and nature as my highest priorities, which is why I intend to stay in the Gorge indefinitely!
