What unites them is a shared dedication to providing careful guidance, deepening their knowledge of their profession, and a strong commitment to the people they work with.

She studied at the BSDT Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya near Pune in India, completed her BAMS degree and gained experience in a government hospital and in her own clinic in Pune. Since 2018, she has been living and working in the Netherlands, where she offers consultations, gives lectures and supports people through a broad Ayurvedic practice. Her work is characterised by dedication, warmth and a deep trust in the power of Ayurveda as a system of support and recovery.
