Chitta Happens

Specialties

Chitta Happens is an Ayurvedic clinic in San Francisco that offers health consultations and treatments. Ayurveda is a 5,000 year old medical system that focuses on optimizing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This system offers practical and effective solutions for most illnesses, and easy to implement guidelines for disease prevention. On a deeper level, Ayurveda is a path to awaken and discover our true selves. Chitta is pure awareness: that which is beyond all thought. Pure awareness does indeed happen, it is just buried underneath the incessant chatter of thoughts in our minds. Chitta Happens is a healing center which promotes the belief that our True Self is full of infinite possibilities for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Ayurveda offers powerful tools to allow us to delve into this realm and open to the divine.

History

Established in 2008.

After years working as a registered nurse, I wanted to find a more holistic way for health and healing, after seeing the limitations of western allopathic medicine. Yoga and cooking (being an avid cook) introduced me to Ayurveda. And I haven’t look back since. After my studies in yoga, meditation and Perfect Health at the Chopra University, I decided to open up a private practice to share the timeless wisdom and healthy modalities of living based on Ayurveda, yoga and meditation.
