I am an Ayurvedic holistic practitioner, a scientist, and a pharmacologist, with a passion to understand the pathophysiology of various diseases, and to help find techniques to maintain and restore them holistically and non-invasively. I am an experienced preclinical and clinical researcher who has managed drug development programs from early discovery through clinical testing. I offer personalized health guidance to people and motivate them to eat smart, be energetic, vivacious, and happy. I do this by combining traditional eastern medicine with doctrines of western science. With an integrative and holistic approach to wellness, my aim is to motivate people to achieve a healthy state of balance where mind, body and consciousness are all aligned.

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.

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.
