As a Certified Vedic Counselor (CVC) & Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor (CAHC), I offer a unique integration of ancient wisdom traditions to support holistic well-Being. My primary credential as a Certified Integral Vedic Counselor and Ayurvedic Psychology Consultant through the American Institute of Vedic Studies (AIVS) allows me to work deeply with clients on psychological, spiritual, and emotional levels. This is complemented by my certification as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor through the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA), which provides a strong foundation in physical health and constitutional balance.

Professional Standards

My practice adheres to the scope of practice guidelines established by both NAMA & AIVS. As an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, I focus on prevention and health promotion, referring clients to aligned specialists (both non-clinical & clinical) when conditions progress beyond the initial stages. My Vedic Counseling certification allows me to work more extensively with psychological & spiritual aspects of health while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.

In my experience as a client of mental health professionals throughout my life, not all counselors, health coaches, therapists & doctors address the root cause of a mental health issues, provide clear action steps, and promote accountability. While I’m not a licensed healthcare provider, I’ve found that I play a vital, important role in supporting my clients' mental health & wellness by focusing on providing accountability and promoting client responsibility & education. My clients gain a deeper understanding of their whole Self while learning practical lessons & tools for improving their overall well-Being. As a direct result of integrating the principles of the Vedas, my clients make a profound & positive impact on the quality of their lives within only a few months.

Together, we will embark on a profound exploration of the mind | body | spirit, embracing the transformative power of Vedic wisdom to create lasting positive change.
