I started learning Vedic astrology in 2010 when I was a Sivananda Yoga student and teacher in Los Angeles.

My first course at the ashram felt like I was at Hogwarts! So magical.

Always interested in how the universe and life works, my Ph.D. and first career involved delving into the structure and function of protein molecules. My interests have gravitated since from research to teaching and from physical to metaphysical as I've progressed on my journey to self-acceptance and healing.

Since 2012, I've been a health coach to clients in almost every state of the US and nearly 40 countries. Known as the "Stop Skin Picking Coach," I authored the best selling and best reviewed book on the topic.

Since entering Ketu dasa in 2019, my astrological knowledge and ability has increased 10-100x and I've developed the proficiency to accurately interpret charts. Although I took a few courses in the 2010’s from Krishna Darshan, Komilla Sutton and Andrew Foss, I ultimately learned mostly from the books of James Braha's books with, of course, a lot of practice. I’m grateful to so many people for that. Claire Nakti was another important influence in my education.

I’m also grateful to Carol Allen who, after I had received a handful of readings by astrologers with what turned out to be an incorrect birth time, told me to get a vault copy of my birth certificate, which shows the time.

Note: if your birth certificate does not show a time, do not rely on your parents memory! Get the official document!

Enough about me.

I'd love to meet you!
