From the High Desert To The Tropical Jungle
Eager to apply my newfound knowledge, I joined Ayurprana, an esteemed Ayurvedic company affiliated with the Institute in Albuquerque. This opportunity allowed me to gain invaluable clinical experience and deeply immerse myself in the principles and practices of Ayurveda. During my time at Ayurprana, I had the privilege of working alongside experienced practitioners and participating in comprehensive patient care, which significantly enriched my understanding and expertise.
Through this hands-on experience, I nurtured my passion for women's health and hormonal balance, delving into the intricacies of holistic treatments and natural remedies. I was able to observe firsthand the profound impact of Ayurvedic therapies on women's well-being, which further fueled my dedication to this field. My role at Ayurprana enabled me to refine my skills, expand my knowledge base, and develop a more profound appreciation for the delicate balance required to support women's health through all stages of life.
In 2022, I embarked on a captivating journey to South West India, where I enrolled in an Ayurvedic Gurukula studies program nestled amidst the lush jungles of Karnataka. The region's breathtaking landscapes and rich biodiversity provided an awe-inspiring backdrop to my studies. Surrounded by vibrant flora and immersed in the region's cultural tapestry, I delved into ancient Ayurvedic texts and practices with a sense of wonder and reverence.
This experience not only deepened my knowledge of Panchakarma therapies, herbalism, and medical astrology but also allowed me to personally witness the profound connection between nature and holistic healing in South India. The tranquil setting and the warmth of the local community made this journey not just educational but truly unforgettable, leaving an indelible mark on my understanding of Ayurveda and its profound impact on health and well-being.
ABOUT SERAFINA
In 2018, I ventured from my Hudson Valley home to Albuquerque, New Mexico, igniting my Ayurvedic journey with an immersive weekend workshop led by the esteemed Doctor of Ayurveda, Vasant Lad, at the Ayurvedic Institute.
Under Lad's tutelage, my passion for Ayurveda was kindled, propelling me into deeper studies.
Accepted into the prestigious 2019 Ayurvedic Studies Program 1, I embarked on a transformative two-year journey that profoundly shifted my worldview. Fully immersing myself in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, I delved deeply into natural healing, herbalism, and spirituality. Throughout this intensive program, I lived and breathed the principles of Ayurveda, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its holistic approach to wellness. This journey not only enhanced my knowledge but also enriched my personal and professional life, instilling in me a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
Today, I share my knowledge through Ayurvedic consultations and workshops, bridging modalities and cultures to empower clients seeking holistic well-being. Ayurveda offers essential tools to navigate healing journeys that often leave individuals disheartened by the Western medical system's lack of transparency and support. In contrast, Ayurveda provides holistic, analytical tools that enhance communication between body and mind.
It helps us understand our body's needs, discern when they arise, and guide us toward achieving health and balance effectively. I am enthusiastic about future collaborative events and opportunities, whether for consultations, collaborations, or simply connecting to explore Ayurveda further.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your Ayurvedic Journey!
