Lakshmi is a 500-hour Yoga Teacher affiliated with the International Yoga Teachers Association (IYTA), and an Ayurvedic Nutritionist and Wellness Practitioner recognized by Kerela Ayurveda.
The year 2018 marked a pivotal turn in Lakshmi's life. After a distressing diagnosis of endometriosis and countless dismissive encounters with medical professionals in Hong Kong, she found herself at a crossroads. She realized that if she, with all her knowledge and resources, could be so easily disregarded, countless others may be suffering in silence.
Lakshmi's mission is to ensure no woman feels powerless in the face of medical adversity. She champions the age-old wisdom of Ayurveda that offers a holistic approach to wellness, emphasizing lifestyle modifications like panchakarma, dietary shifts, and stress management techniques. We discuss this in depth in the podcast
She argues for a more inclusive, empathetic, and holistic approach to health. Lakshmi believes we can address not just the physical, but the emotional, mental, and spiritual facets of our existence. Sharing her own health journey and a case study of a client with endometriosis Lakshmi goes into detail of how she assists her clients and how the listeners can help themselves.
