Ayurveda
Offering In-Studio + Virtual Ayurveda Consultations
Ayurveda — meaning “The Science of Life” — is a holistic system of medicine from India that has been practiced for over 5,000 years. As the world’s oldest continually practiced healthcare system, Ayurveda emphasizes prevention, balance, and the treatment of root causes rather than symptoms. It offers a comprehensive approach to wellness, integrating body, mind, and spirit to support optimal living.

I’m the director and founder of Dancing Shiva School, a Ph.D. candidate in Integral Ayurveda, and a practitioner of Ayurveda. My journey has led me to become a global teacher, speaker, and author on Ayurveda, Yoga culture, and Vedantic philosophy. My background spans therapeutics, athletics, dietetics, ecology, herbal medicine, and superfoods, all of which I integrate into a dynamic synthesis that informs my work in Integral Ayurveda, Yoga, and integrative medicine.
I began my career in 2001 as the medical director of Dancing Shiva’s integrative medical clinic in Los Angeles, where we offered Panchakarma, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and other healing modalities for over 12 years. Since then, I’ve traveled extensively, offering lectures and consultations in Mexico, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, Portugal, and throughout the United States.
As an Ayurvedic practitioner, I’ve supported clients dealing with a wide range of conditions, including acute intestinal disorders, obesity, type 2 diabetes, respiratory issues, skin problems, anxiety, cancer, hormonal imbalances, sleep issues, athletic performance, and immune system challenges.
