This simple yet profound maxim originated by Vaishali has assisted hundreds of thousands to detoxify their lives, bodies and emotions, empowering them to reclaim their value, power and self-worth.

Vaishali is an acclaimed author, natural health practitioner and empowerment speaker in the field of human potential and natural health. She has survived a life fraught with every possible personal challenge available to a human experience: the violent death of a loved one when she was only ten years old, lying cheating significant others, a messy painful divorce, financial devastation following two terminal diagnoses, and years of physical agony arising from both of these diagnoses. These experiences have shaped her books, “You Are What You Love®(Purple Haze Press 2006) and “Wisdom Rising” (Purple Haze Press 2008), and her nationwide workshops with heartfelt, deeply insightful knowledge on how to understand and joyfully emerge from the challenges that life throws at us.

During her first terminal illness, Vaishali was introduced to Chinese medicine. She became a natural health practitioner and went on to study Indian and Tibetan Ayurveda with Dr. Vasant Lad from the Ayurveda Institute of New Mexico. She has lived the Ayurvedic lifestyle for over 15 years. Vaishali attributes much of her healing and recovery to Chinese Medicine and an Ayurvedic lifestyle of self-healing and wisdom that includes dosha balancing, food combining, self-administered organ and emotional detoxifying massage “Chi Nei Tsang”, the panchakarma purification process and herbal remedies. Vaishali offers classes and private “self-emergence healing sessions” that incorporate these principles of natural health practice, while focusing on the concept that "self-love" is the key ingredient for mental nutrition, healing and growth.

Vaishali has participated on "health and wellness” panels across the nation. She is a faculty member at The Omega Institute, The Kripalu Center for Health & Yoga and the Learning Annex. Vaishali has appeared on national radio and network television programs including ABC TV, CBS TV & NBC TV and on “Oprah & Friends XM Radio.” Vaishali’s articles have been published in hundreds magazines nationwide, and she has been featured on the cover of Awareness Magazine and Yoga Magazine.
