My affinity for India and its’ ancient sciences all began when I was 19 years old. I decided to leave college after one semester to go on an adventure to this wild country. I was beginning to find a deep love for yoga, and all I knew was that India was the birthplace of this practice and philosophy, so there must be something for me to learn there!

And boy, did I learn! After completing a 6 week stay at a Hatha yoga ashram, I stayed and travelled India for a few months. I was exposed not only to the potency of the many spiritual modalities, religions, and ancient philosophies of that land, but also to the inescapable reality of poverty and suffering that I had not witnessed so intimately in my life to that point.

I came home from that trip a changed human and knew that yoga and the other disciplines I’d learned about, would undeniably inform my work in this life.

A few years later I went to Āyurveda school expecting to come out of that education as an alternative medicine practitioner. While there, I was introduced to many more of the branches found within Vedic studies, such as Sanskrit language, Āyuryoga, Vastu shastra, and of course, Jyotiṣa (Vedic astrology).

Astrology seemed to come very naturally and felt magically familiar. It became an immediate passion.

After graduation, I had been working at the school’s clinic as a practitioner for a year when I found out that I was pregnant. I had a beautiful experience through pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period, and I attribute much of that beauty and ease to the support of Āyurvedic medicine.

Becoming a mother encouraged me to receive training as a postpartum care provider, a tradition that has roots in India and essentially every other part of the world.

My daughter is now three years old. I have completed an apprenticeship which has blessed me with the skills to read, interpret and translate the powerful potential within people’s Vedic astrology birth charts. I feel very certain that this is my biggest passion and my motivation to share this wisdom with others is unignorable.

I feel grateful to be stepping into my dharma with sharing Jyotish as a healing modality and to perhaps offer one step along the way for others finding their authentic path of purpose!

Thank you so much for being here, it is a sincere honor!
