Beatrice joined the Ayurvedic Studies program with a background in Fine Art and Western Herbal Medicine, driven by a desire to find truly holistic modalities to support healing. She feels incredibly blessed to have studied in the Ayurvedic Studies program under the guidance of Vasant Lad and the other amazing faculty, and to now be a part of passing on the ancient teachings of Ayurveda. Since graduating from the program as an Ayurvedic practitioner, she sees clients almost daily, an experience which serves her well in supporting students in developing their own clinical practice and discussing Ayurvedic perspectives on a variety of pathologies. She holds a deep reverence for the lineage of the Ayurvedic Institute, including the heart centered approach and subtle therapies of marma, pranayama and meditation which she loves to share with students. She has supplemented her education with the Ayuryoga 200Hr YTT.
