Me

From the first time I learned about Ayurveda, I knew it was something I wanted to study.  One day, my husband introduced me to an Ayurvedic Practitioner for a consultation.  I hadn't even heard of Ayurveda, but I have always been open to alternative medicine.  As soon as the practitioner started explaining Ayurveda to me, it clicked!  It was so logical and it made sense to me based on all I have experienced with my own health challenges. 

In 1996, I was diagnosed with a chronic intestinal disease and over the years I've tried different forms of complimentary medicines.  While they've been helpful, I find Ayurveda is more complete and it has taken me to another level of caring for myself.

So, following a rewarding 15-year career in Finance, I decided to pursue a career in Ayurveda.  My desire is to share this ancient and beautiful form of medicine with others.

I have over 1,700 hours of academic training and am a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist (CAS), the highest level of certification from  The California College of Ayurveda  - the first state approved Ayurvedic college in the U.S., founded and directed by Dr. Marc Halpern.   

I am a Yoga teacher - graduate of the gurukula immersion program at the internationally known Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm in Grass Valley, CA.  I specialize in Classical Hatha Yoga.  I'm also a certified Yoga Nidra teacher.  Yoga Nidra is a form of deep meditation, also called "conscious sleep".

I live in San Francisco and enjoy a healthy lifestyle with my husband, Marty Morales, who is also in complimentary health by way of Rolfing & Bodywork.
