Hi, I’m Ivette Desai.
I grew up in a kitchen that was the heart of every celebration—where food meant love, tradition, and comfort. My mom passed down her joy of cooking, and from a young age, I felt the power of nourishment—not just for the body, but for the soul.
Like many women, I’ve lived through multiple chapters—each asking me to show up in different ways. From striving for perfection in my youth, to overextending myself in motherhood, to navigating the deep fatigue and physical symptoms that crept in midlife... it’s been a winding, humbling path of returning to myself again and again.
There was a time I was constantly pushing—trying to do it all, be it all, hold it all. I moved fast, often skipping meals, surviving on caffeine, and looking for quick fixes to manage the pain, inflammation, gut issues, hormonal shifts, and burnout that became my norm.
When the choice came—to stay on the same path or to radically shift—I chose to listen deeply. Through Ayurveda, energy work, and honoring my body’s natural rhythms, I found a new way of being. One that feels rooted, resilient, and alive.
Now, in my 50s, I’ve learned that healing is not one single moment—it’s a series of invitations to evolve. Each season asks something new of us. And with each shift, we have the opportunity to reclaim our health, our joy, and our deeper purpose.
If you’ve been quietly wondering, “Where did I go?” or “What’s next for me?”—you’re not alone. Whether you're navigating inflammation, pain, poor sleep, gut or hormone imbalances, or simply yearning to feel like yourself again—I’m here to walk beside you.
You are not broken. You are becoming. Let’s begin.

It all begins with the deep knowing that you matter — your needs, your rhythms, and your healing.
Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, inflamed, or disconnected from your body. Maybe you’re navigating stress, digestive discomfort, the desire to age with more vitality, or a longing to reconnect with your purpose.
Together, we use the time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda, Yoga, Meditation, Energy & Sound Healing, and Nervous System Regulation, woven with the science of behavior change. This journey is not about fixing you — it’s about helping you remember how to thrive in your body and your life.
My intention is to guide you gently back home to yourself — so you feel grounded, energized, and empowered to become your own self-healer.
