How Does Your Work Enable You to Connect to and Fulfill Your Life Purpose/Passion?
When I retired at the beginning of the pandemic, I developed stress to the point of insomnia and digestive issues. I received an invite to join a zoom meeting with the Chopra Institute. I decided to go to the Chopra Institute and studied to become an Ayurvedic Health Teacher, Primordial Sound Meditation Teacher, and Chopra Wellness Coach. The work I did on myself with my Chopra Mentors during the programs was transformative. My new life of Ayurvedic health and meditation keeps me grounded, graceful and happy every day. When I’m out of balance and don’t feel this way, I now have the tools to get back to being balanced.
Who Is Your Ideal Client and Why?
A person that finds themselves not feeling like themselves due to digestive issues, insomnia, sluggishness, or unmotivated. The reason is usually what they are taking in to nourish themselves.

Chopra Coaching ten 1-hour sessions $1500
As a Chopra Coach I will guide you to a happy and balanced life. Through the Chopra Coaching process, you will experience deep transformation, healing, and greater self-knowledge, resulting in more joyful living. The foundation of the Chopra Coaching model is rooted in Vedic philosophy, coupled with evidence based best practices from coaching psychology. We will start with determining your mind-body personality or dosha.
My understanding of a person’s unique nature and current imbalances allows me to be more present and attentive to each client’s individual needs. I can use this knowledge to be flexible from client to client. I know how to best communicate with each client, and how to consider their dosha type while listening to and communicating with them.
I understand that through meditation all things are possible, and I will help my clients to cultivate a meditation practice or resume one if they’ve tapered off. I will obtain their individual Primordial Sound mantra, perform the Primordial Sound mantra ceremony, and teach them how to use their mantra.
The four cornerstones of the Chopra coaching model are unique exercises. These exercises will help my clients get to the core of their being. They’re essential tools to help facilitate change and align with dharma or your life purpose.
Who Was Your Role Model Growing Up? How Did That Person’s Actions Impact You?

Her inner strength, focus, and grace carried her through times of some of Lifes biggest challenges. Her confidence, compassion, and humor got her through the rest of the time. I always hoped to be like her.
