Prepare to embark on a transformative journey with me today as I delve into the ancient system of healing known as Ayurveda. In this series, I invite you to join me as I interview individuals who have undergone the rigorous study of Ayurveda at Maharishi International University.

Each episode offers a glimpse into the personal and professional journeys of these individuals, exploring how Ayurveda found them and how they've integrated its timeless wisdom into their lives to enhance overall well-being. My guests share insights and anecdotes that offer a glimpse into the profound impact Ayurveda has had on their lives and the lives of their clients.

But our exploration doesn't stop there. We also delve into the future of Ayurveda and the creative ways these individuals envision promoting its growth as a practical system of self-care. With its focus on eliminating the root causes of conditions and improving overall health, my guests offer innovative strategies for integrating Ayurveda into modern healthcare systems and society at large.

Join me on this enlightening journey as we uncover the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda and its potential to revolutionize modern wellness. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the world of Ayurveda, this series promises to inspire, educate, and empower you on your own path to holistic health and well-being.

My guest today is Radhika Erving from San Diego, California.  Radhika came to Ayurveda after her experience with the autoimmune condition, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, which she cured by following an Ayurvedic protocol.  Her interest in Ayurveda was fueled by her godmother who encouraged her to delve more deeply.  Initially, she worked as a panchakarma technician at the renowned Surya Spa in Los Angeles, its founder being Martha Soffer [I interviewed Martha in episode #32].  Although Radhika found the mentorship of Martha and the hands on experience she gained at Surya to be invaluable, she wanted to deepen her knowledge of the healing power of Ayurveda.  During the pandemic, she enrolled in the Master's program in Maharishi Ayurveda & Integrative Medicine at Maharishi International University (MIU).  While at MIU, she delved into every aspect of Ayurveda, but was struck by the profundity of the program's emphasis on the role of consciousness and particularly, the practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM) on health and well-being.  Radhika continues to be connected with MIU as a teacher's assistant in the MS Maharishi Ayurveda program.  She also consults with clients privately and offers a variety of services through her business: Ayurveda Ma.
