In 2015 I had just quit my job and was burnt out, anxious, and dealing with way too many health issues for a 25-year-old. I learned Vedic Meditation and everything changed. I started having more energy, more clarity, and less anxiety. In my first few weeks of meditating I had a vision of becoming an acupuncturist, so I went back to school to do just that. Suddenly my intuition was stronger and I felt more like myself than ever before. 

Over the last 8 years of practicing Vedic Meditation, my life has completely transformed in the best ways. I feel less overwhelmed by life and am more calm, open, and compassionate. I feel like less of a victim of the world and can now see that everything is happening for me and not to me. The stressors of life are still present, but I am able to navigate them with less reaction and more grace. My confidence has strengthened and I have learned that going with the flow feels much better than holding on for dear life. My self-sufficiency has increased, as I’ve realized that happiness lies within, and that I won’t find fulfillment outside of myself. My appreciation for nature has taken on a new form, helping me to feel more present and blissful. For all of these reasons, I decided to become a teacher of Vedic Meditation so that I could share this life-changing practice with anyone who wants to learn.

To become a teacher of this tradition I studied for several years and then traveled to India for a 3-month intensive training in the foothills of the Himalayas. During the training, I learned from some of the world’s greatest masters of the tradition, including Thom Knoles, the pre-eminent authority of Vedic Knowledge in the West. After graduating as a Vedic Meditation teacher, I was inducted into the Shankaracharya tradition, an ancient branch of knowledge revered in India. 

It is an honor to teach Vedic Meditation and to help my students embrace the peaceful, happy, and full, lives that they deserve.
