How I Work

An editor from Storey Publishing found some of my articles posted on EverydayAyurveda.com, and decided to track back to my website, where she sent me a message requesting me to write an introductory Ayurveda book.
Shortly after, my wonderful agent Lisa DiMona, from the esteemed Writer’s House literary agency, came on board to support me in my literary adventure. I launched a pilot Ayurveda staff training program at the Alameda County probation department. There was an overwhelming response of interest from probation staff, who wished to join the program in larger numbers than we could actually accommodate.
The curriculum of the 8-week staff training program yielded incredible health improvement results for the 30 accepted participants. 100% of them recommended the training. 95% feel it improved their work performance and effectiveness, and they further self-reported these health improvement outcomes:
47% reduction in aches and pains
46% better sleep
34% greater physical energy
31% higher productivity levels
29% improvement in digestion
80% report improved clarity of mind
79% report improved ability to cope with stress
75% report improved ability to be present
The combination of education and hands-on experiential training in self-care has become the basis of my teaching, and is supported by my book, The Ayurveda Way, which is a compilation of 108 practices from the world's oldest healing system for better sleep, less stress, optimal digestion, and more.
