ABOUT ME

At the young age of 15, a magical journey into the world of yoga began when my dad lovingly handed me Swami Vishnu-Devananda's "The Complete Illustrated Guide of Yoga." This beautiful gift set my soul on fire and sparked a lifelong passion within me. I sought out classes and scarce videos, immersing myself in the transformative practice. Years later, I was blessed to become certified in Ashtanga yoga under the nurturing guidance of Jonny Kest.

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and spiritual growth, my path led me to the vibrant heart of New York City. There, I eagerly continued my education at Karma Kids Yoga, Integral Yoga Institute, and YogaWorks, expanding my understanding and deepening my practice. Along this wondrous journey, Ayurveda revealed itself to me, beckoning me closer.

With joy and gratitude, I embarked on the path of Ayurveda, becoming a certified Ayurvedic Counselor through the transformative teachings of JoyfulBelly. Guided by ancient wisdom and rooted in compassion, I further nurtured my expertise, becoming an Ayurvedic Practitioner through the Yoga Veda Institute. My quest for holistic healing also led me to study the enchanting world of herbs at the East West Planetary Herb School and the Chestnut School of Herbs.

Today, I am honored to offer personalized, one-on-one sessions, connecting deeply with each client. It is with love and passion that my husband and I founded Balaveda, a cherished endeavor dedicated to sharing the radiant gifts of Ayurveda and herbalism with the world. Together, we aspire to bring forth a harmonious blend of health and wellness through this ancient wisdom.

With each step, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and uplift others on their journey towards holistic well-being. May sweetness and love guide us all along this beautiful path of healing.
