My Training & Credentials

I believe you deserve to know exactly who you're learning from. Here's my journey, my training, and what qualifies me to do this work.

My Professional Journey

2014-2016

Personal Health Crisis

My journey began with my own struggles—PCOS, iron deficiency, chronic fatigue, and brain fog. After years of "your labs are normal" and "just lose weight," I knew there had to be another way.

2016-2020

Alternative Medicine Foundation

I immersed myself in alternative medicine studies, including naturopathy, herbalism, and holistic nutrition. This foundation gave me the framework to understand how traditional healing systems work.

Training included:
  • Herbal medicine fundamentals
  • Holistic nutrition principles
  • Mind-body medicine approaches
  • Women's health specialization
2020-2022

18 Months Clinical Training in India

This was the transformative period. I traveled to India specifically to train with Ayurvedic doctors who specialize in women's health (Stri Roga).

Training Details:
  • Clinical observation and practice in Ayurvedic hospitals
  • Specialized training in Stri Roga (Ayurvedic gynecology)
  • Panchakarma therapy protocols
  • Traditional formulation preparation (Rasashastra basics)
  • Postpartum care protocols (Sutika Paricharya)
  • Menstrual health and fertility support

Note: My training was clinical and observational, working alongside licensed BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) doctors. I do not hold a BAMS degree myself, nor do I claim to be a licensed Ayurvedic physician.

2022-Present

AYURFEM & Research Focus

Founded AYURFEM to bridge the gap between traditional Ayurvedic wisdom and modern scientific validation. My focus shifted from individual practice to education, research, and building evidence-based protocols.

Current Focus:
  • Translating complex research into understandable information
  • Building evidence chains connecting traditional practices to clinical research
  • Creating educational content that empowers informed decisions
  • Research collaboration with institutions

Clear About What I Am & What I'm Not

Transparency builds trust. Here's exactly what you should know:

✅ What I Am

  • A data translator—making complex research understandable
  • A researcher and educator in Ayurvedic women's health
  • Trained in clinical Ayurvedic practices in India (18 months)
  • 10+ years experience in alternative medicine
  • Someone who has personally navigated PCOS and hormonal health
  • Committed to evidence-based, scientifically-validated approaches
  • A bridge between traditional wisdom and modern science

❌ What I'm Not

  • Not a licensed medical doctor (MD)
  • Not a BAMS-certified Ayurvedic physician
  • Not a replacement for your healthcare team
  • Not able to diagnose or treat medical conditions
  • Not against conventional medicine—I believe in integration
  • Not making promises of cures or guaranteed outcomes
  • Not practicing medicine or providing medical advice

My Approach: Education, Not Treatment

AYURFEM is fundamentally an educational and research platform. I don't treat patients—I educate, research, and share knowledge.

My role is to:

  • Research — Build evidence chains connecting traditional Ayurvedic practices to modern scientific validation
  • Educate — Create articles, resources, and content that help women understand their options
  • Connect — Help women have informed conversations with their healthcare providers
  • Collaborate — Work with researchers and institutions to advance integrative women's health

I believe the best healthcare comes from an informed patient working with a qualified team. My job is to help you be more informed—not to replace your doctors.
