After over 30 years in the financial services industry, I decided to leave the business world in the Fall of 2007 to undertake formal studies in Ayurveda, an ancient Indian healing modality, at the Ayurvedic Institute of New Mexico, instructed by Dr. Lad. A year later, I found myself in Pune, India deeply submerged in a six-week Ayurvedic clinical program.
Today, I combine my expertise in Ayurveda and Vedic Astrology in a unique offering called TARA Health Consultations and have recently formulated and launched a proprietary line of Celestial Tinctures and Ayurvedic Remedies. Additionally, I instruct courses in Vedic Astrology and offer astrological readings, including annualized forecasts, muhertas (auspicious times to begin an event) and astro-relocation.
