About Me
I had been living in fear for four decades because of my chronic health conditions that included over 32 severe food allergies, asthma, and environmental allergies.
As I was barely surviving in my health, I also had the added stressors of life – work, relationships, social life, finances, and personal development – all of which took a big hit because of my physical health.
In 2008 when I found myself on the emergency room table again for a fourth time, I realized the additional detriment to my mental, emotional and spiritual health due to my health issues and I felt defeated.
This was my rock bottom.
I felt like I was managing my health wrong, but the deeper wound was that I felt that I was doing “life” wrong.
I was stuck, didn’t trust that I knew what was best for me after years of letting others drive my health, and didn’t know where to begin to fix this. The Net Net realization was that my life was on autopilot and I didn’t love myself.
With all of these realizations in 2008, I had had enough! A small fire was lit in my soul to rise up, look at my situation with a different lens, and do something different to get healthy across my whole-body.
I began what became a ten-year journey to healing, becoming the best version of myself that I could be, and thrive.
My mission: getting to root cause of why and what was causing my food allergies and these anaphlyaxsis incidents and severe reactions I was having, so that I could work on healing across my whole-body.
During this time, and in partnership with my medical team, I researched and developed a framework to heal across my physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health that was rooted in evidence based science. This program called Three To BeTM, is what I followed over the course of 10 years, testing and tweaking each area to get desired results.
In 2020, we learned that I had eliminated ALL of my severe food allergies and was in “remission” and still am today.
I’ve been fortunate to have incredible transformations in my own health and well-being, so today, as a Health and Wellness Futurist, Speaker, and Coach, I’m helping people with chronic mental and physical health issues to heal.
My journey is an incredible story of grit, perseverence and data to get me to where I am today – Thriving in all aspects of life!
If I can do it, you can too!

Early Childhood
Playing in a sandbox with friends is what an average 3-year-old should be doing—not being allergic to the sand itself. It was a bite of a yummy peanut butter & jelly sandwich which almost ended my life. I was rushed to the emergency room only to be diagnosed with severe food allergies. Soon thereafter, the icing on my nut-free cake was an asthma diagnosis and severe environmental allergies. My Indian parents had their hands full trying to figure out what life would look like for their first-generation middle child.

Teenage Years
Trying to be a typical teenager, I didn’t want my friends knowing about my food allergies for fault of being labeled as weird or uncool. So, I did what anyone in my position may have done: I hid them for years from everyone besides my immediate family to blend in with the crowd. That didn’t always work and during this time I experienced my second anaphylactic incident.

Young Adult
In college I would experience my third anaphylactic incident due to my food allergies. This one was more severe than the previous, and I truly was over it. I felt the need for change, so moved across the country to California after graduating—hoping that the healthy living on the West Coast would begin to heal me. I slowly began to open up to close friends about my allergies and was blessed with thirteen years of no emergent food allergy incidents, a time-period I named “Lucky 13”, leading up to 2008.

Adulthood
The year 2008 would become a pivotal one. I experienced my fourth food allergy incident after dining at a restaurant with friends. If I thought the other 3 incidents were bad, I had no idea what was to come. For one year thereafter, I had hives all over my body that were a result of the levels of toxicity in my body. I had officially hit rock bottom which would cause me to feel that I was “doing life wrong.” Feeling lost, and purposeless in my health and in life, I slowly began to walk down a new path that would eventually lead me to finding myself, loving myself, and healing myself of my food allergies once and for all.
