‘I'm Every Woman - it's all in me’’ Chaka Khan sings in her song, Yes, that's me. Let's face it, we play so many roles in life, and I, for one, have concluded that I will never be one thing. To sum it up, I am a British-born Mauritian dancer, performer, and certified Ayurveda wellness coach.
Ayurveda recognizes that we are all unique individuals with specific body constitutions, not one size fits all. So in the same spirit of our multilayered selves, within my blog, I will unveil the layers I am passionate about, varied and flowingly interconnected. I will share glimpses of my life and tips on living a life in balance through the lens of Dance, Ayurveda, and Mauritius.
Ayurveda is a holistic healthcare system that connects the mind and body and draws on the notion that we are intuitive beings. Given the proper support, our bodies have the innate intelligence to heal us as long as we nurture, nourish, and listen to them :)
As an Ayurvedic coach, I offer coaching sessions and guide others to navigate their health and keep disease away by making conscious lifestyle choices.
Ayurveda is the ancient Indian art of living a more healthy, more vibrant, and wholesome life.

For the Dance Curious, you’ll discover dance fusion workout videos, all dance classes geared to raise your vibrational spirit with a fun curated global playlist After all, who says exercising can't be fun? I also pay homage to the talented artists who have shaped my world with outstanding musical contributions to this wacky world, like British Icon Bryan Ferry, one of my favs.
Last but not least, I am a confessed chili pepper and addict, AKA Piment Junkie. The word Piment in Creole - the native language of Mauritius means Chilli peppers = hot. I will introduce you to my Delicious Mauritius, sharing its culture, cuisine, and dance!
Mauritius is a tiny paradise Island where my parents are from in the Indian Ocean near the Seychelles and Madagascar. You’ll discover spicy, flavorful dishes prepared with nourishing herbs and spices!
I wish to inspire you to live a Life in Balance, encouraging you to be present in the here and now, to dance, move, eat and drink intuitively and sustainably while celebrating life. My passion is building community and connecting people through dance followed by a plate of deliciously wholesome and flavorful foods that promote a sense of well-being.
So let me take you on a multi-sensory glimpse into my world of Global Dance, Ayurvedic Living, and recipes that unite my experiences in London, Mauritius, and New York —you’ll soon be hooked!
