In 2018, Aparna was recognized for her exceptional therapeutic skills by the Pranavteertha Charitable Foundation, in collaboration with Georgia University’s Study Abroad Program, at a conference on Ayurveda for the Stressful Pluralistic Society.

Riya Sarolkar, B.A.M.S., Ayurvedic Nutrition & Wellness Practitioner

Riya Sarolkar

B.A.M.S. · Postgraduate Diploma in Ayurvedic Aahar (Nutrition)

Riya is a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery with a Postgraduate Diploma in Ayurvedic Aahar (Nutrition), 14 years of experience in the dental field, and a recently completed Yoga Teacher Training program. Her approach to health is rooted in holistic and preventive wellness — recognizing the connection between the body, mind, food, daily routine, and overall lifestyle.

She believes in being proactive about health by incorporating Ayurvedic principles into everyday life through Dinacharya (daily routine), balanced nutrition, mindful eating, yoga, and conscious lifestyle choices, trusting that small, consistent habits help maintain balance and support well-being before illness arises.

Riya also finds great joy in cooking consciously and feeding happily, bringing awareness, nourishment, and the joy of food together. Through her work and community involvement, she hopes to make Ayurveda practical, relatable, and accessible — inspiring people to embrace healthier, more balanced ways of living.
