— Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Panchakarma technician, and lifelong student of holistic healing.

My path into this work has unfolded over many years — rooted in a 25+ year yoga practice, shaped by motherhood, and guided by a deep respect for our connection to the natural world. At the heart of it is a belief that healing comes not from separating ourselves, but from remembering that we are a part of nature — and learning how to live in a way that honors that relationship.

I was first introduced to Ayurveda through yoga, where I began to understand the connection between the body, mind, and the rhythms of nature. That curiosity eventually led me into formal study over 15 years ago at Bauman College in Berkeley, where I trained in holistic nutrition and began exploring how food, lifestyle, and daily habits shape the way we feel in our bodies.

What I love most about Ayurveda is that it helps us slow down and listen more closely. Rather than simply managing symptoms, it invites us to understand the deeper patterns beneath imbalance and reconnect with the rhythms that help us feel more grounded, nourished, and well.

I grew up here in Ojai, California — surrounded by mountains, wildflowers, and a slower pace of life that continues to shape the way I live and work today. After many years in the Bay Area, I co-created Stasher, a reusable silicone bag company rooted in reducing single-use plastic and rethinking our relationship with the environment.

That work eventually led me to join a research expedition to the Galápagos with the nonprofit 5 Gyres, studying microplastics in our oceans alongside environmental advocacy groups. The experience reinforced something I continue to carry into my practice today — that our personal health and the health of the planet are deeply interconnected.

Today, I offer personalized Ayurvedic care through traditional body therapies, Panchakarma-inspired treatments, seasonal cleansing, and one-on-one health counseling here in Ojai.

In addition to my private practice, I assist in clinical treatments at Maharani Ayurveda and support the Maharani Academy, where I continue to deepen my studies and refine my approach under experienced practitioners and teachers.

I’m currently continuing my studies at Kerala Ayurvedic Academy as I work toward becoming a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner — a path I see as a lifelong devotion to learning and practice.

Alongside my clinical work, I also support wellness founders and purpose-driven brands through business and brand strategy at Root & Rising Studio.

When I’m not in the treatment room, you’ll usually find me outside with my family, in the garden, on my yoga mat, or making something warm and nourishing in the kitchen.

Healing Well Ayurveda was created as a space where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and feel deeply cared for.

I’m so glad you’re here.
