Monakee experienced the benefits of Ayurvedic medicine at a young age.  When she was only a child she developed an inflammatory skin condition causing intense redness sensitivity and irritation. She was so red that the other children called her “tomato.”  Wanting to help their daughter, her parents sought help from multiple conventional medicine doctors, all to no avail.  Eventually they tried taking her to an Ayurvedic physician.  Within 2 months of his treatment her symptoms had subsided and she was feeling much better.  After 6 months she was cured completely never to experience the condition again.

Inspired by an Ayurvedic doctor who spoke at her school when she was 16, Monakee made a firm decision to become an Ayurvedic physician herself. She completed her B.A.M.S. and received her masters in Kaya Chikitsa (internal medicine) writing her dissertation on Rheumatoid Arthritis. Driven by her personal connection to Ayurveda, Monakee is passionate about sharing the profound benefits of this beautiful science with the world.
