Bringing You Towards Optimal Health
I believe people can achieve optimal health via the science of integrative medicine.
What I Offer…
Traditional Āyurveda
I practice classical Āyurveda as it has been taught and preserved through generations of vaidyas (Āyurvedic physicians), while applying its principles to the realities of modern life. Each consultation begins with understanding your unique constitution (prakriti), your current state of imbalance (vikriti), the strength of your digestion and metabolism (agni), and the influence of diet, lifestyle, environment, and season on your health. My assessments incorporate traditional methods, including pulse and tongue evaluation, alongside a comprehensive review of your health history and current concerns.
Every treatment plan is individualized and may include dietary recommendations, daily and seasonal routines, herbal formulations, therapeutic body treatments, and, when appropriate, cleansing therapies (pañcakarma). Rather than simply managing symptoms, my goal is to identify and address the underlying imbalance, restoring the body’s innate capacity for health while providing practical, sustainable recommendations that can be integrated into everyday life.
I strive to make this ancient system of medicine approachable without compromising its authenticity, offering guidance that is rooted in the classical texts, informed by years of clinical training, and tailored to the individual sitting in front of me.
Integrative Medicine
I provide integrative consultant care as a Family Nurse Practitioner, combining the diagnostic rigor of conventional medicine with the wisdom of Ayurveda, functional medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle therapeutics. My medical training provides the clinical framework for evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, and treatment, while allowing me to thoughtfully incorporate complementary therapies where they are safe, appropriate, and supported by emerging evidence.
I evaluate laboratory findings through both conventional and functional medicine lenses, looking beyond disease diagnosis to identify physiologic imbalances and opportunities for earlier intervention. With training in both pharmaceutical and botanical medicine, I carefully consider herb-drug interactions, supplement safety, and the thoughtful integration of natural therapies alongside prescription medications. My goal is to bridge the strengths of modern medicine with time-honored healing traditions, creating individualized care plans that are both scientifically grounded and truly integrative.
Vedic Astrology
Vedic astrology is one of the three classical sister sciences of the Vedic tradition, alongside Ayurveda and Yoga. Together, they form a timeless triad of allied disciplines. Ayurveda primarily works with the physical body, Yoga disciplines and steadies the mind, and Jyotish illuminates the journey of the soul. It is the science of light, time, and karma, helping us understand the deeper patterns that shape our lives.
The foundation of Vedic Astrology is the understanding that we are not separate from the universe, but an expression of it. Just as the Sun governs our circadian rhythms and the seasons that sustain life, and the Moon moves the tides of our oceans, the celestial bodies participate in the rhythms that influence life on Earth.
I use Vedic Astrology not to predict a fixed future, but to understand the timing of life, recognize karmic patterns, and help clients align more consciously with the opportunities for growth, healing, and purpose that each season of life presents.
