It was around 2005 when Tiffany first heard the word Ayurveda and learned its meaning - and it changed her life forever. It was a moment of "before" Ayurveda in her life and "after" - having learned a whole different paradigm of health and wellness, while still in pharmacy school. With the two types of medicine being as different as possible, Tiffany found deep healing and meaning applying Ayurvedic principles to her own life and has since made it her life's work to integrate the two types of medicine - seeing value in both. She likes to focus first on the emphasis of preventative medicine valued & practiced most in Ayurveda.

For Tiffany & her family, Ayurveda has become foundational for how to live the best life possible not only physically but mentally, emotionally & spiritually as well. Tiffany practices yoga not only as a physical exercise but primarily to embrace the lifestyle and philosophy behind the vast and ancient teachings. She has been to India 8 times - most often both formally & informally studying yoga, meditation, Tibetan Medicine and Ayurveda in addition to diving deeper into her own practices & personal wellness journey.

Tiffany's interest in complementary and alternative therapies lie primarily in Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, Tibetan Medicine, energy healing and more. She is a a board certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor (2021), Ayurvedic Practitioner (2023), & level 1 certified (200 hour) Kundalini yoga instructor (2016). Additionally, she is a Reiki Master (2008) & holds a certificate in Complementary and Alternative therapies from the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota (2008).

She is the owner of Om Shanti Wellness LLC, a healing practice focused on Ayurvedic consultations & workshops, Reiki, Kundalini yoga, meditation, and hand-crafted aromatherapy wellness products. She is a highly skilled critical care hospital pharmacist prior to finding her passion and life's purpose in Ayurveda & yoga. She is the mother to two amazing daughters and is married to her wonderful husband Mark.

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.
