I am currently practicing as a Doctor of Ayurveda in Albuquerque, NM.  

Before embarking on my Ayurvedic path, I graduated from New York University and worked in the world of corporate finance for 11 years, until some health challenges impelled me to leave New York City and seek a path that inspired wellness, balance, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.  

This journey landed me in India for six months, where I began to self-study and integrate Ayurveda into my own wellness journey.

During this time, I was fortunate to have an opportunity to spend a month shadowing Sudhirbhai Pandya, an Ayurvedic Doctor in Gujarat, India.

Seeing firsthand the direct impact of Ayurvedic therapies on clients’ physical and emotional health, combined with the transformative experience of having incorporated Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle practices into my own life, ultimately inspired me to study Ayurveda with Dr. Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute in New Mexico. Dr. Lad is widely recognized as having spread Ayurveda from India to the West in the 1970’s, and his teachings beautifully integrate the classical principles of Ayurveda with the realities of a modern lifestyle in the Western world.

I found that in its approach to understanding the individual from a holistic perspective and through the lens of the doshas and elements, Ayurveda had the answers to the questions about my health that were a mystery to Western medical practitioners. It helped me understand the root cause of my imbalance and provided the framework to inspire my body’s natural intelligence to guide itself back to balance.

I found the balance that I was seeking through Ayurveda, and I am passionate about sharing and utilizing the centuries old wisdom of Ayurveda to support others on their own wellness journeys. I feel that this is a profound part of my dharma, or my purpose, in this lifetime.

Upon completing my Doctor of Ayurveda program in Asheville, I was called back to the ‚ÄúLand of Enchantment‚Äù to settle and endeavor to to serve the New Mexico community that the Institute had served for 40 years before moving to Asheville in 2022.  In addition to in-person consultations in NM, all of my services are available via telehealth with the exception of Marma therapy.
