Our Founders
Raising awareness of Ayurveda in the UK
After meeting my husband, whose deep enthusiasm and passion for Ayurveda inspired me, we embarked on a journey together to create a place devoted to alleviating both mental and physical suffering of people. Nearly 30 years ago, when the word Ayurveda was still unfamiliar to many, our intention wasn’t to be the first or the best. Instead, we focused on making this profound science accessible to the West, supporting countless individuals on their path to healing.
Today, our Ayurvedic clinic is renowned worldwide for offering authentic Ayurvedic treatments. Our team includes highly qualified Ayurvedic doctors, expertly trained therapists, and individuals with a genuine passion for creating an environment of healing.
Not only did our clinic grow in reputation, but the demand from those who found healing through Ayurveda inspired us to create a place of learning. This led to the establishment of the Ayurveda Institute UK, where we now train hundreds of Ayurvedic practitioners each year, equipping them to bring this healing modality to the world. Additionally, the Association for Ayurvedic Professionals UK (AAPUK), part of our organization, provides practitioners with a professional body for registration and recognition.
We planted a seed without knowing how it would grow, and today, our organization has blossomed into a fruitful tree. Yet, we continue striving to improve, always aiming to serve better. As the Dalai Lama once said, “The world needs healers and lovers more than it needs entrepreneurs and successful people.” We aspire to remain just that—healers and lovers. We are deeply grateful to the universe for choosing us as instruments to share this profound science. We promise to keep tuning this instrument, allowing the greatest melody of healing to flow through us for years to come.
