You Have What It Takes…
As a Clinical Ayurveda Specialist, who has been guiding folks in wellness for over 25 years I specialize in transforming your perception of health so you can show up as the healthiest version of yourself, with your highest purpose intact, every single day of your life.
My journey began as a result of my dissatisfaction with the life I was leading which included toxic levels of stress, poor sleep, bad digestion, and a cancer diagnosis. In 13 months I had four surgeries and I knew I had to get serious about taking care of myself.
In addition to my struggles, I was disheartened to see folks around me suffering and using fitness and diet fads along with pharmaceuticals as their “holistic” healthcare. Coming home to Ayurveda, was exactly what I needed to counterbalance what my life had been and what I was seeing in the world around me. Not only did Ayurveda give me lasting health but it gave me awareness of my potential and I began to feel more joyful, and my actions became more purposeful.
Wanting to make a difference in the lives of those with health concerns, lack of inspiration, and purpose, I launched my Ayurveda practice, Sheltering Skys, in 2022. I create custom-made herbal medicines and oils together with diet and lifestyle programs to care for my patients. Without fail, every patient I've treated is experiencing positive outcomes!
