When I left my career as an emergency room physician, my body was sick, my mind was overwhelmed, and my spirit was depleted. I ignored the signs–headaches, back spasms, constipation, rashes–and just kept going. Then one day, I collapsed. I’d thrown my back out so badly I stayed in bed for 5 days.

I finally got the message. I started asking questions about how I'd gotten there. And those questions eventually led me back to Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old healing tradition of my ancestors that I’d first learned as a child. I began a 20-year journey to study, research and experience traditional healing systems from a wide range of cultures.

In the process, I not only discovered my calling, but I also discovered myself.

I soon realized that Ayurveda was the kind of medicine I truly wanted to practice…and the medicine that would heal my body, mind, and soul. I learned to live in sync with nature, to adjust my daily routines to support my health, and to tune into my inner wisdom.

Now I want to share Ayurveda with you, integrating the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with the best of Western medicine.
