Area of specialization: | I am someone who leans deep into both mind and food when it comes to healing. One area I work in is Smriti Meditation... it's not just sitting with closed eyes kinda thing. It's actually a therapeutic meditative technique that helps people process mental stress, old patterns, even stuff like grief or emotional burnout. I’ve used it especially when patients show signs of psychological weight affecting physical symptoms. It’s subtle yet powerful & not many ppl realise how linked the mind+body is until we start the process.
Then there’s nutrition — big part of how I plan care. I did a course with DREAMS which was really eye-opening tbh. Learned how to tailor diets as per a person’s prakrti instead of just general advice like “eat less sugar” or “more greens.” Everyone’s digestion n’ constitution works diff right? Some ppl feel better on warm ghee-rich meals, while others need light cooling foods to feel balanced. This training gave me that lens to really understand that.
I mix both these specialties in my consultations—one complements the other actually. Like, anxiety cases where instead of giving only herbs, I also work on calming vata through right food habits, breath & mental discipline. It ain’t just theory... I’ve watched it shift ppl’s sleep patterns, reduce cravings, regulate moods. That’s what keeps me drawn to this intersection. Just... feels right. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda always liked studying (weird, I know) n ended up with a CGPA of 8.0 in BAMS. After that, worked for 2 yrs as an RMO n consulting doc, which honestly tought me more than textbooks ever could. But somewhere along that line I felt—wait, this can’t be just it right?? That’s when I got into Smriti Meditation n Ayurvedic Nutrition. It sorta opened up this whole other way of seeing patients—mind n body both. Now I try to mix clinical stuff with holistic touch, it feels more real that way. |
I am working as a Resident Medical Officer at Greens Ayurveda Hospital, and yeah honestly every single day is full of learning, challenges, and those weird little aha! moments. My main job? It’s a mix of clinical and hands-on wellness planning. I do direct consultations with international clients—people from diff countries, diff lifestyles—and every case is like a puzzle I kinda enjoy solving. It’s not just about prescribing medicine but figuring out what their body’s actually asking for. I do full health assessments, taking both prakriti and vikriti into acccount, and then create totally customized diet plans n’ daily routines that fits the patient's life and also aligns with Ayurvedic principles. And yep, when it’s needed—I prescribe internal herbal medications depending on their dosha imbalance or deeper root issues. It’s never “one-size-fits-all” y’know? Also, I guide Smriti Meditation—this part I really love—‘cause many of our clients deal with emotional blocks, stress, burnout types. Watching someone go from restless to grounded with just breath and intention... can’t explain how fulfilling that feels. I do believe healing isn’t just physical... it’s whole-body+mind thing. I help people set health goals too—not just fix symptoms. Like a client came in with chronic fatigue, turns out her issue wasn’t even major, it was her routine+food combo going against her prakriti, simple tweaks changed her energy levels within a month. That’s why I take time with every patient, dive into their lifestyle, not rush through the obvious symptoms only. Some days are long, and yeah it gets overwhelming esp when you're dealing with language barriers or resistance to change, but I wouldn’t trade this for anything. This kinda holistic, deeply human way of helping people feels more like a calling than just work.
