Area of specialization:
I am mainly working around women’s health issues n spine related problems, with a bit more focus on gynecological concerns like period troubles, hormonal shifts, white discharge, all that. I’m trained in NDDY and do Nadi Pariksha regularly—it helps me catch what’s going on at the deeper doshic level, especially when symptoms look the same on surface. Cervical and back pain is another area I keep seeing—people living on painkillers or just ignoring it till it gets worse. I try to manage it through Ayurveda, yoga stretches, local therapies like kati basti, or sometimes internal meds depending on pain type. Not all patients come ready for full treatment, so I try adjusting plans based on what’s doable for them, even small steps like posture work or warm oils at night. I like using a gentle mix of diagnostics and lifestyle tracking—just watching the patterns over time tells you a lot honestly. My work’s still evolving but this is the zone I keep coming back to.
Achievements:
I am someone who like to keep adding to my toolkit. I did NDDY because I was really drawn to the way naturopathy blends with ayurveda—it felt like it opened up space to look at pain, digestion n hormonal issues a bit diff’rently. Later I also completed a certificate course in Nadi Pariksha, which really deepnd my understanding of subtle imbalances. That pulse-reading skill isn’t just theory... I use it daily to guide my line of treatment. Feels more accurate than textbook patterns, honestly.

I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.
