Tiffany’s journey into wellness began in 2005, when she first encountered the word Ayurveda—and everything changed. While still in pharmacy school, she discovered a way of understanding health that felt both ancient and revolutionary. It became a clear before-and-after moment in her life.

Studying two completely different medical systems at once gave Tiffany a unique lens: she saw the strengths and limitations of each, and she recognized the healing power that arises when modern science meets timeless wisdom. Ayurveda filled the gaps she felt in her Western training, especially with its emphasis on prevention, balance, and whole-person care. It has guided her ever since.

For Tiffany and her family, Ayurveda is more than a practice—it’s a foundation for living well physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Her yoga practice reflects the same philosophy: a way of life rooted in ancient teachings rather than just a physical exercise.

Her dedication has taken her to India nine times, where she has studied yoga, meditation, Tibetan Medicine, and Ayurveda—both formally and informally—while diving deeply into her own personal growth. Most recently, she led her first wellness and transformational retreat to India, a powerful experience she looks forward to offering again.

Tiffany’s work brings together Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, Tibetan Medicine, energy healing, and more. She is a Board-Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor (2021) and Ayurvedic Practitioner (2023) through the Minnesota Institute of Ayurveda, a Level 1 (200-hour) Kundalini Yoga Instructor (2016), and a Reiki Master (2008). She also holds a certificate in Complementary and Alternative Therapies from the University of Minnesota’s Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota (2008).

As the owner of Om Shanti Wellness LLC, Tiffany offers Ayurvedic consultations, workshops, Reiki, Kundalini yoga, meditation, and hand-crafted aromatherapy wellness products—all created to support deep healing and vibrant living. Before following her calling into holistic health, she has spent 20 years as a highly skilled critical care hospital pharmacist.

At home, Tiffany is the proud mom of two amazing daughters and is married to her wonderful husband, Mark. When she isn’t guiding others on their wellness journeys, you’ll find her traveling, exploring nature (hiking, camping, paddling), taking photos, or spending time with family and friends.

In addition, I would like to acknowledge that I am aware of the access to this information my privilege has allowed me to have. I have benefited from the rich traditions of this amazing & ancient culture that historically has been marginalized.
