Ayurveda for Midlife - Balance & Renewal
What if your current discomfort was simply a message?
Whether it arrives as a quiet whisper or a louder call you can no longer ignore, it may be your body, mind, or soul inviting you to pause, reconnect and return to a more harmonious, fulfilling way of living.
Self-care is neither a luxury nor an indulgence – it is an art of living. It nourishes the body, soothes the mind, and illuminates the soul – the foundation of a joyful life, loving relationships and a steady, inspiring presence. Far beyond an occasional day at a spa, self-care is a way of staying balanced amidst the complications of everyday life.
Rooted in Ayurveda, the original science of self-care, my signature program, Back to Balance offers gentle, step-by-step guidance to:
-
- Bring your body back into balance
- Restore calm and clarity to your mind
- Reconnect deeply with your soul
In midlife, Ayurveda becomes a precious guide to rekindle your energy and navigate the transitions of perimenopause, menopause or andropause, while staying anchored in what matters most.
You don’t have to remain in a state of imbalance or in a life that no longer reflects who you are. Together, we will use simple yet powerful tools to reset your well-being, tune into your deepest needs and release what no longer serves you.

FOuNDer of LUMIVEDA
Sometimes, healing begins when life asks us to slow down and listen. After 14 years in finance in Paris and precious time raising my family, I reached my early 40s facing fatigue, vertigo and a lost sense of joy.
After years of prioritising my career and caring for others, it was finally time to care for myself. With my Anglo-Indian roots, I turned to meditation, Ayurveda and transformational life coaching – first to heal myself, and then to guide others.
I trained with leading schools in Ayurveda, meditation, yoga, and coaching in India (Somatheeram), the US (The Chopra Center, The Life Coach School) and France (Centre Leela) and have had the privilege of learning directly from inspirational teachers such as Dr Deepak Chopra and Dr Suhas Kshirsagar.
I created Lumiveda – lumi referring to light, clarity and awareness, and veda to the ancient wisdom of India. This name expresses the wisdom of awareness, which is the essence of my path and continues to guide me every day. Today, with over a decade of experience, I help others return to clarity, vitality, and balance through my signature Back to Balance teaching and coaching programs.
Through Lumiveda, I also support Nishtha, an NGO in India that supports the education of 5 000 girls at risk of child mariage – so that every personal transformation can help uplift another.
