Q&A
What is your wellness philosophy?
Start by loving your own heart and mind, then love your body, then love your community, and then love the world. Incremental change applied consistently over time is the most powerful force in the universe. There are no quick fixes.
What brought you into wellness?
I was born into a family of Rishis. I was taught to meditate at age four and raised with meditation, yoga, and plant based food as a fundamental part of my life.
What does You. We. All. mean to you?
The health of your body depends on the health of your environment and your community. Separation between self and non-self is an illusion. The moment we realize that our connection is more real than our separation we gain enormous power to enact change. The world is composed of us. Whatever we choose will be reality. Let’s choose wisely.
