Hi, I’m Sidney! ♡
I’m a NAMA Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner & Psychosomatic Practitioner in training.
I discovered Ayurveda while I was working in modern healthcare, where I spent many years of my life searching for answers to help me with the health struggles I was facing. As the age old story goes, nothing was working - until I found Ayurveda. The power of this medicine touched me so deeply that it changed the trajectory of my life. I quit the path to PA school that I was on and decided to pursue a career in Ayurvedic medicine. I attended the Minnesota Institute of Ayurveda, learning from my incredible mentor, Dr. Asavari Manvikar. I spent 3 years and countless hours immersed in this life changing science and never looked back!
