Hi! I’m Lisa Ghatala. I’m a former, high-tech, corporate marketing go-getter. I followed my passion for living a deeply meaningful life. I love good food, traveling, reading, and looking at the moon. My mission? To illuminate the beauty of Ayurveda, this timeless, universal wisdom, empowering you to live in full awareness.

Annapurna became interested in Ayurveda when she first saw Deepak Chopra in the late 80s. She followed him and attended his talks. Then went to Egypt on a spiritual journey with him. Ayurveda chose her.
She became interested in health by becoming vegetarian and learning meditation in the 80s. Annapurna learned about massage from her mother’s training and became a therapist.
Annapurna has taught yoga and meditation, leading retreats, and teaching Ayurveda while living in an ashram in California since 2007.
Ayurveda drew her in more deeply while living in the bay area and being exposed to teachers like Dr. Frawley and other Indian Vaidyas. She took her training from Kerala Ayurveda Academy and recently finished her clinical internship in Kerala, India.
Annapurna practices on the beautiful island of Maui and has done many consultations online since the pandemic.

I am an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Kundalini Yoga Teacher and Reiki Practitioner all bundled together in my Wellness Practice. My practice is to support others on their wellness journeys as much as I can.

My journey to holistic health began 15 years ago, when despite my healthy lifestyle and all my best efforts, I was struggling with chronic fatigue. I knew something was definitely wrong, but I wasn’t “sick” as our society would define it. I was frustrated that I was tired all the time, but blamed it on a busy work schedule. I didn’t realize my body was trying to communicate a deeper message. When I was introduced to Ayurveda, I felt a sigh of relief- I finally understood what my symptoms really meant. Learning my particular body type, my unique tendencies, and what foods and nutrients I was deficient in, allowed my symptoms to fade with ease. No longer was my body holding me back. My energy increased, my hormones and mood stabilized, and I was able to live with vitality and joy again.

I have been studying Ayurveda for 2 years and plan to continue my studies for many years.
I currently offer virtual Ayurvedic Consultations.
