My Alternative Health Clinic is located in Los Angeles and is based on the beliefs of Ayurveda, the traditional medical system of India. I offer evaluations and consultations, nutritional, dietary, and detoxification programs, massage, marma, aroma therapies, and yoga instruction and therapy. I also have a licensed herbal pharmacy on site.
I originally studied nutrition before graduating from the Cordon Bleu and worked as a professional chef for many years. After an injury and health concerns, I decided to focus my attention on holistic health, and I pursued an education in alternative medicine. I am certified as a Clinical Ayurvedic and Panchakarma Specialist, a nutritional professional, an AHG herbalist, and a massage, marma, and aroma therapist.
Additionally, I am certified as a yoga instructor and therapist by the Iyengar Yoga National Association, the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and the National Ayurvedic Medical Association.

The Power of Breath
Introduction to Pranayama
Sunday, July 12th, 2026

Yogic breathing, known as Pranayama or “Conscious Breathing.” It is vital because Prana (life force) carries our presence, awareness, creativity, and intelligence, and brings balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit.
In this class, I will introduce you to the theory and practice, starting with a rejuvenative yoga sequence to prepare the body, followed by a breathing practice you can do at home.
This class is appropriate for all levels.
