My Training & Credentials

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.
