About the President & Founder of Ayurvedic Home of Wellness

---

My name is Michelle and I am a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (AADP). My journey into wellness and Ayurveda began with a deep personal transformation - a mother’s instinct. Growing up, I witnessed the profound impact that natural remedies and holistic health practices had on my family’s well-being.  

It wasn’t until I faced my own health challenges that I truly immersed myself in Ayurvedic studies. The birth of my sons were marked by challenging pregnancies and health concerns, propelling me to explore and research natural medicine. Ayurveda found me when I was determined to seek alternatives to frequent healthcare visits. My ancestral lineage unfolded as I was reminded of the rich heritage of Ayurvedic teachings ingrained in my family. Ayurveda was deeply woven into my early childhood, as I was born into a household where Ayurvedic practices and traditional lifestyles were the norm. I felt compelled to embrace my dharma (duty) as an Ayurvedic practitioner and wondered if people who were in search of complementary medicine knew about Ayurveda. 

As a seasoned professional with a diverse background, I pursued extensive training and certifications as a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner by the AADP and Certified Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist. I am also trained in Ayurvedic Body Therapies and on the path to complete my Doctorate and PhD in Natural Medicine.

With a background in finance and working in corporate America for many years, I understand the demands and challenges with finding balance in one's health. I have dedicated myself to promoting holistic wellness within corporate communities and helping others achieve optimal health by offering Corporate Wellness programs which are supportive, sustainable and empowering. 

One of my greatest joys is connecting with others and sharing my knowledge about natural medicine. That's why I have created my Wellness Center for holistic health because I believe in empowering individuals to discover their unique path to optimal well-being. I provide personalized care that goes beyond a one-size-fits all solution. Our wellness center is a nurturing space where clients feel supported and inspired to embrace sustainable practices that enhance their physical, mental and spiritual health.

Aligned with Ayurveda, I guide my clients through transformative journeys that address the root causes of imbalance in their lives. 

As an Ayurvedic practitioner, it’s vital to grasp the essence of doshas in Ayurveda. Doshas, the elemental energies governing body and mind functions, are a fundamental aspect of this holistic system. The three doshas—Vata (comprising air and ether elements), Pitta (consisting of fire and water elements), and Kapha (made up of earth and water elements)—serve as the pillars of health and well-being. They lay the foundation for a healthy, balanced life in their harmonious equilibrium. However, when these doshas lose balance, they are regarded as the primary instigators of ailments, according to Ayurveda. Each element uniquely regulates vital physiological and psychological functions, a knowledge cornerstone for Ayurvedic practitioners.

As an Ayurvedic practitioner, understanding Voice Dialogue is valuable. This approach, rooted in the Aware Ego and Psychology of Selves, delves into the intricate layers of our inner selves, each bearing unique energies that impact our choices and well-being. While these Selves serve as protective mechanisms for survival, over-activation can lead to energy depletion and illness. Voice Dialogue seamlessly aligns with Ayurveda by exploring these layers and bringing discomforted Selves to the surface. By harmonizing with the body’s innate wisdom, Voice Dialogue facilitation, in collaboration with Ayurveda, empowers clients to restore balance and well-being, nurturing both body and mind.
