The Story
Ayurveda entered my life in a truly serendipitous manner. Little did I know at the time, I have been drawn to this ancient practice intermittently throughout my life, driven by a genuine curiosity for the healing power of plants, herbs, and natural methods for nurturing the body, mind, and soul. However, it’s important to note that Ayurveda encompasses much more than just plants and herbs and diet.
Having dedicated a significant portion of my life studying Psychology and psychotherapy, I have come to realise that the western approach to healing the mind often overlooks the fundamental philosophy of the mind-body connection. I deeply admire psychologists such as Carl G Jung, Oliver Sacks, and Paul Ekman, who have been at the forefront of seeking a deeper understanding of this connection. Their unwavering dedication and forward-thinking mindset serve as a constant motivation for me in my own pursuit of knowledge in this field. Today, at last, psychology finally offers a psychosomatic healing, thanks to trauma experts in the field of Psychotherapy, such as Peter Levine and Gabor Mate, and even a new branch has been formed called ‘psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology’, which encompasses the body mind and spirit as a whole.
The search for inner truth and the re-connection with nature began when I lost a bet. This bet led me to my first yoga class, back in 2002. The combination of movements at the time were dreadful, but finished with simply lying flat on the mat (shavasana), and at this very moment I realized that I was hooked to this practice. This is the path toward self. So the journey of union began.
After successfully completing my initial 200hr Yoga Teacher Training, I found myself eager to explore the realm of mind-body and spiritual integration even further. In my quest to connect with my innate affinity for homeopathy and Earth’s healing power, I delved into various practices such as Shamanism, Naturopathy, and Plant Medicine. These experiences have greatly enriched my understanding of holistic well-being and deepened my connection to the natural world.
After undergoing the first Yoga training, I unfortunately experienced a fractured coccyx which impeded my ability to swiftly move on to the next endeavour. Perhaps first complete integration was needed before jumping onto the next thing… This incident served as a valuable lesson, teaching me the importance of stillness and patience. Consequently, this series of events brought about a complete shift in my perspective on life.
I began as an admin while healing my root chakra, at the training school I completed my first Yoga Teacher course. Teaching came naturally, where I was able to incorporate Western Psychology with Eastern Philosophy and Homeopathy. Deeper I dove, closer I got to what my heart fully desired…. Ayurveda.
So my Ayurvedic Path began.
After multiple trainings and teaching in Thailand, and Cambodia, I then found my way to a Buddhist Monastary in Nepal, where I studied, and understood the deeper secrets of meditation and Buddhism from Tibetan Monks.
After completing my Reiki training and sound therapy, I embarked on a journey of activating the subtle channels of universal energy flow for healing. And finally, Mama India welcomed me with open arms and taught me the intricacies of life through the profound study of Ayurveda.
After a few years of drifting through Asia and Europe and integrating the vast world of knowledge that opened up to me, Unearththis was born.

“Learn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone’s life. Be the light that helps others see; it is what gives life its deepest significance.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
The Purpose
My life truly began once I finally aligned with my divine soul purpose. Once I began to listen to my inner intuition, gut feelings, and heart, I began to live the life I always imagined. It took 33 years of my life to finally align with this purpose. Societal expectations and hard wired cognitive perceptions sent me on a whirlwind of untrue paths. Each fork in my road, divided timely into roughly 7 year periods of testing the waters of who I am to be in this world. As a child, I cared deeply for animals. They seem to find me when needing most help, like the abandoned kittens I’d rescue from a dumpster, or merely run over creatures on the side of the road. Or the parrots that sang sad songs in their cages, and the puppies my neighbours kept, but never looked after.
At the core of my being, I have always had a deep-seated desire to help others, even amidst my own personal struggles. This led me to make a life-altering decision at the age of 15 when I left my familiar surroundings and ventured into the sunny state of California. Along the way, I embarked on numerous diverse paths, immersing myself in studies, work, and personal growth, but also losing fragments of my true self in the process.
I transitioned through various roles, from being a sales lady to becoming a shoe expert, from a humble coffee barista to a polished fine dining waitress. I navigated through the realm of salons and spas, first as an assistant and then as a manager. My journey even took me through the world of fashion, before ultimately settling in the dynamic film industry. Throughout these different trades, I unknowingly suppressed my innermost desires. Sounds familiar? Social expectations of and all? 🙂
Yet, the truth has a way of breaking free from its confines. For me, it has always been an unwavering mission to seek and foster happiness and well-being, not only for myself, but also for those around me.
One day, after experiencing a personal burnout, and exhaustion, and my health wavering at the edge… I packed my life in a small backpack, and began the journey of a lifetime. It was time to acquire the tools to protect and enhance my abilities, while I heal the neglected aspects of myself. I landed in Thailand, and little did I know at the time that this land of Smiles will become my new home. Here I completed my first 200RYT Yoga Teacher Training in Hatha, Vinyasa and Tantra Yoga. Followed by many more trainings and specialisations.
Teaching in various countries across Asia has been an enlightening experience for me. During my time in India and Nepal, I had the opportunity to pursue certifications in Ayurvedic Lifestyle Coaching, Ayurvedic Therapy, Marma treatments, Reiki healing, Buddhism, Zen teachings, Thai yoga massage, and Kalari practice. These diverse tools have greatly contributed to my personal growth, well-being and vitality. Through my own endeavors, I have developed comprehensive methods to guide individuals on their own journey towards embodiment, vitality, and harmony in life.
Today, I am a multi modality wellness facilitator, a psycho-somatic integrative coach, Ayurvedic Practitioner, educator, and spiritual therapist. I take a holistic approach to support your overall well-being. My practice is centered around Ayurveda, which helps you achieve balance and harmony in both your body and mind. Through practices such as breathwork, yoga, and meditation, I will guide you in re-connecting with your body-mind, regulating your nervous system, and reducing stress and anxiety.

Furthermore, I integrate psychotherapy and trauma awareness into my approach. By addressing any underlying psychological issues, I can help you overcome obstacles and move forward in life with greater clarity and purpose.
Overall, my goal is to support your well-being in all areas of your life, providing you with the tools and guidance you need to thrive.
