Tell us about your professional background.
Coming from a traditional Ayurveda family background, Ayurveda has always played an important part of my life. After completing my degree in BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery), I pursued my dream of studying alternative sciences like yoga, hypnotherapy, nutrition and pranic healing. With 10 years of experience in the wellness and spa industry, I have a strong faith in preventive and holistic medicine. Additionally, I have been involved in designing various high end wellness retreats and spa treatments for some of the properties I have worked with. Presently, I am working as a Spa Manager for Alila Diwa Goa.
