I use a holistic approach to healing.

I am an internationally established Ayurvedic clinician, meditation teacher, nutritionist, energy healer, and speaker who employs diet, herbs, yoga therapy, meditation, and Ayurvedic treatment to restore my patients’ mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health and to prevent disease and disorders. 

My godfather, who was both a naval captain and a Hindu Brahmin priest, raised me with the value of helping others.

When I was really little, he taught me that happiness is derived from being in service to others.

As an adult, I became passionate about helping others with their relationships and health using the tool of Ayurveda.

My approach brings together integrative medicine with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda that comes from my South Asian lineage. These are long-lasting, sustainable solutions that free you to live a long, happy, and healthy life.

In particular, I focus on healing trauma, which often leads to anxiety, depression, grief, women’s health, longevity, cravings, and addiction.

I also help restaurants, cafés, chefs, food businesses, and private clients adapt dishes for food allergies, analyze recipes, substitute ingredients, and improve allergen labeling.

In addition to seeing private clients, I am regularly invited to deliver month-long corporate wellness workshops and programs to leading global organizations and to facilitate meditation and yoga workshops at schools to incorporate wellness education into their curriculum.

In 2020, I was honored with an invitation to join a live interactive session hosted by His Holiness The Dalai Lama on the topic of integrated healthcare and compassion. 

I am frequently invited to speak at international summits and conferences about how Ayurveda helps to heal trauma as well as a multitude of physical and mental ailments, and aids in stress management.

I have explored different types of meditation including body-mind meditation, visual meditation, sound meditation, energy meditation, Sufi meditation, Buddhist meditation, Tibetan Buddhist meditation, mantra meditation, and chanting meditation.

I was raised mainly in the United States and come from a mixed heritage background. My early career spanned modelling, acting, television, radio, and journalism before I entered academia and became a Professor in Communications to teach and research religious harmony across various interpersonal, organizational, and intercultural contexts.

I possess nearly 30 years experience with the world’s ancient traditions and religions. This enables me to teach both non-religious meditations and religion-based meditations alike.

I believe strongly that it is imperative to meditate, even in the good times, to build a silo of resilience so that when we are faced with challenges, we are not running on empty and are able to bounce back more quickly.

I am trained and certified in the Ayurveda Sciences at Union Yoga Ayurveda, affiliated with Atreya Ayurvedic Medical College and the Indian Institute of Patanjali Yoga, associated with Swami Paramahansa Samsthana, and a registered member of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association, USA.
