Ayurveda, the ancient science of living well, offers timeless wisdom for creating balance in our modern world. Rooted in the rhythms of nature, it teaches us how daily habits—such as mindful eating, restorative sleep, movement, and self-care—directly shape our health and vitality. By understanding your unique constitution and aligning your lifestyle with these principles, Ayurveda helps restore harmony in body, mind, and spirit. The result is greater energy, resilience, and ease in every stage of life.
Experience the ancient art of Marma Therapy in Annapolis, MD and Reston, VA, a specialized Ayurvedic treatment designed to balance your body, mind, and energy."Marma" points are considered “doorways” or “entry points” into our body’s inner pathways – energy channels that allow Prana to flow through the spine, thereby nourishing the body and mind. When activated through gentle touch, the flow of Prana that travels from these points through the body, can have a profound healing effect. Marma therapy can offer an intuitive layer to spiritual practice, allowing the practitioner to connect on a deeper level through gentle, light self-touch. Touching a marma point changes the body’s biochemistry and has the potential to unfold healing on the subtlest levels of the body and mind.Marma can actually alter consciousness, and change one’s awareness. From that place a person can move forward with self care, creativity, and renewed energy. This therapy is unique to Ayurveda, and can grant you a deeper connection with your whole self (body, mind, and spirit).Whether you seek relief from pain, anxiety, or fatigue, or simply want to rejuvenate your overall health, Marma Therapy offers a natural, non-invasive approach to wellness.To book your session in Annapolis please call 240-334-7677.

During the ayurvedic mentoring session, be prepared to talk about YOU. Like really talk about all the nooks and crannies of your life -- because it ALL counts when it comes to uncovering patterns ("samskaras" in sanskrit) and habits that are keeping you from making progress on your wellness journey.I will ask you questions about your current lifestyle (diet, movement, digestion, relationships, emotions, spirituality, the list is long), and together we will explore how making certain shifts can lead you into a better direction, supporting your unique constitution ("prakriti") and undoing the samskaras that got you here in the first place. The goal of the sessions is to evaluate your current state of imbalance ("vikriti"), while at the same understanding the interplay of that "doshas" and "gunas" have in how you are feeling right now.Who would benefit from ayurvedic mentoring?Anyone who suspects that their current routines and habits are not supporting their wellbeing or promoting long-term health. Most "modern" ailments, particularly the so-called Lifestyle Diseases, can be greatly mitigated by making small (or big) shifts in your lifestyle routines. If you are experiencing changes in your sleep, digestion, energy/vitality, or general wellbeing, then you need to see me!What to expectBy the end of the first session, you and I will have a clearer picture of where you need to make shifts. I will make recommendations on diet, herbs, and specific practices that will help you make the necessary shifts. I highly recommend at least 2 more follow up sessions with me so we can both make sure you are on the right track. Virtual or in-personTransform your lifestyle, transform your health!
"EXPLORING TOTAL HEALTH WITH AYURVEDA: A JOURNEY OF MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT"This class is a journey to understanding true health, through the lens of Ayurveda by exploring the foundational principles that make it the most powerful healing science. The particular journey of Ayurveda starts in ancient Indian texts which lay out the foundation of creation itself and provide the basis of all Ayurvedic principles.From there, we explore how this foundation opens the pathway to understanding our true Nature, our place in Nature, and ultimately, realizing our Higher Self (Divine). It is a journey through history that brings us to today, and how this ancient science is still so relevant to how we live life in the 21st century.
In this class, you will learn why Ayurveda has the most comprehensive knowledge of nutritional health, lifestyle guidelines, and dietary principles which affect healing at physical, mental and spiritual levels, and for different types of people. You will come away with an understanding of how you can support your own healing and growth with Ayurveda’s multi-layered approach to creating total health (“svastha” in sanskrit). We will explore why Ayurveda is emerging as one of the most important global systems of mind-body medicine, by revealing how to understand the language of nature, and how to live in harmony with the greater universe.The class is open to everyone, no health or yoga background is needed. The class presents a unique learning opportunity to yoga teachers, yoga therapists, yoga teacher trainees, health coaches, or anyone considering a broader, more committed study in Ayurveda. This class can be done one-on-one; schedule at your convenience.
After working internationally in IT Consulting for 12 years, I had the opportunity to travel the world on a journey of self-discovery. While in India, I met internationally renowned ayurvedic teachers in a traditional gurukula-style including clinical studies with Dr. Vasant Lad in Pune, and Panchakarma therapeutics at Arsha Vidya Peetam Trust in Coimbatore.
My formal yoga training was done under Neva Ingalls (Inner Domain), completing the 200 hour "5 Elements Ayurveda & Yoga Fusion" Teacher Training in May 2020 and 300 hour Yoga Therapy training with Ganesh Mohan (Svastha Yoga and Ayurveda) in May 2021.
As an experienced Ayurveda and Yoga lifestyle educator, I offer numerous educational programs, lifestyle counselling, yoga classes, and other experiences to support my student’s self-discovery journey. I believe in the long term rewards of a healthy lifestyle, and am very much committed to empowering my clients and students spark their inner Divine wisdom with the holistic tools of Ayurveda and Yoga.
