In Honor of The Original Psychologist

A tribute to our timeless teacher.

We honor Sri Krishna—revered as the world’s first psychologist—whose timeless teachings form the very foundation of our work. With deep gratitude, we bow to the sacred wisdom he has revealed: profound insights into the mind and the unseen forces that shape our choices, bind our behaviors, and hold the key to lasting transformation. Our work is a heartfelt offering to Him, and a gesture of love and support to each seeker walking the sacred path of self-discovery.

Jai Sri Krishna. जय श्री कृष्ण. All glories to Sri Krishna.

What makes a successful American CEO walk away from it all to become a psychologist living at an ashram in India?

It didn’t happen overnight. My journey into Vedic Psychology began with questions—deep, insistent ones about love, relationships, and how to find peace in a world that never seemed to slow down. I had spent years chasing the dream: prestigious degrees, high-powered career moves, and a schedule so packed it barely left room to breathe. On paper, I had it all. An Ivy League MBA. First-class flights to dazzling destinations. Stretch limos whisking me away to consulting gigs where I was treated like royalty.

But beneath the surface, a quiet ache persisted...

... for all the sparkle on the outside, something inside me remained quietly, stubbornly empty.

The achievements, the applause, the jet-setting lifestyle—they gave me moments of thrill, but not lasting peace. Beneath the polished surface, I was aching for something more—real love, deep connection, and a sense of purpose that couldn’t be checked off on my to-do list. I wanted the fairytale ending, the kind of love that makes everything else fade. I chased Mr. Right with the same ambition I once poured into my career, thinking he’d be the missing piece. But milestone after milestone, relationship after relationship, the emptiness lingered.

What was wrong with me? Or was it him? Love was so mysterious and elusive.

Don’t get me wrong—I had been in love. Deeply. Passionately. But somehow, it never lasted. At least, not the romantic kind. There was one kind of love, though, that never left me: my love for Ayurveda, the ancient science of life from India. I studied it at The Kripalu School of Ayurveda and was instantly captivated. Its wisdom felt like a homecoming. But even that wasn’t enough to fill the quiet yet so persistent void in my heart. Most days, despite my success, I felt sad, lost, and deeply lonely.

And then—

just when I thought the emptiness couldn’t get any worse—it did.

My sadness turned into shock, then devastation. My boyfriend of six years ended our relationship. To add insult to injury, the very next day, my vibrant, young, seemingly healthy father dropped dead from a sudden heart attack right in front of my eyes. The grief was paralyzing. And it shook me to my core.

In the midst of that darkness, questions came flooding in. What do I really want from this life? What is the actual purpose of it all? Will I ever know real, lasting love? And if I died suddenly one day—just like my father did—what legacy would I leave behind? What good would I have truly done for others? I couldn’t ignore these questions. They lit a fire in me—an unshakable, relentless hunger for answers that would ultimately lead me down a very different path.

And in my search, I found what it turns out that I had been looking for all along - my guru, Babaji, the living embodiment of spiritual love. His profound wisdom and unimaginable compassion transformed my entire life.

Babaji graciously helped me to see myself and my relationships in a new light. I began to understand the patterns that kept me stuck, and he introduced me to tools to create clarity, balance, and true self-understanding. Babaji personally trained me for over a decade in all the subtle intricacies of Vedic Psychology, granting me what feels like X-ray vision into the layers of thought, emotion, and patterns that shape human experiences.

Now I live at Babaji’s ashram in India—a precious gift that I hold very close to my heart.

Here, my life is peaceful and deeply fulfilling.

I no longer feel lonely, nor do I carry that nagging sense of emptiness. I’m not searching for love or chasing after anything. Instead, I’m immersed in the steady rhythm of spiritual practice, learning directly from Babaji about the transformative power of divine love.

Life at the ashram is simple, yet profoundly rich—each day grounded in devotion, service, and sacred silence (an introverts paradise!). This extraordinary opportunity to experience the healing radiance that emanates from his presence and his place is beyond what even the finest of words can convey.

I delight in my work because it is aligned with my nature, making it feel effortless and blissful.

Babaji helped me to clearly see my svabhāva (Ayurvedic Personality Type), and to align my work with my natural gifts of teaching, counseling, and healing. Inspired by this journey, I now guide others in discovering and embracing their svabhāva, so they too can experience the clarity and fulfillment that come from living in alignment with their true nature. I blend Babaji’s Vedic Psychology with my background in Western Clinical Psychology to help seekers break free from the emotional entanglements and toxic conditioning that prevent them from fully embodying their svabhāva and living in harmony with who they truly are.

Over the past ten years, Babaji and I have taught dozens of classes on Vedic Psychology together. We've handpicked the most impactful teachings and shaped them into a rich library of online e-courses for those ready to journey deeper inward.
