In this chaotic world, sometimes it feels impossible to feel firmly seated within our true authentic selves. Caring for mental and physical wellness becomes increasingly challenging. The combination of daily stressors, constant interruptions and over-stimulation, thus diminishing relaxation time often leads us to neglect our inner peace and stability that is so needed to feel rested.

I design classes based on individual Jyotish (Indian astrology) signs, Āyurvedic constitutions and your current environmental factors. I integrate some elements of astrology, herbs, diet, relationships, and work-life balance into a comprehensive wellness approach.
Much of my practice and sessions are the result of my self-reflections. It was very hard for me to start reading at a young age, until I learned how to play the piano, and my piano teacher taught me the keys in alphabets. This is how my love for reading and writing started.
