About VINATA prachi
My name is Vinata Prachi Murarka, and I am a change agent of healing.
I help adults, children, and animals live happy, healthy and inspiring lives through touch therapies and personal consultations.
As a child, I would spend hours tinkering with art and science experiments in my room. Innate curiosity sparked me to have three science fair experiments in fifth grade! How does the world work and how can I make it even better? Years later, I found the answer: from the inside out.
I’m now a bi-national globe trotter, who spends her time between India and the United States. One day, I hope to write a book called the Indian from Indiana, as most people still get confused where I’m from (both is the answer). My favorite food is sattvik. I enjoy watching the geometric patterns on the sand when the tides go back, and spend a bit of my time forest bathing.
AYURVEDIC PRACTITIONER, ACCESS CONSCIOUSNESS FACILITATOR, AUTHOR, YOGA & MEDITATION TEACHER, ANIMAL & PLANT COMMUNICATOR, LIGHT GRID SCRIBE, WORKSHOP FACILITATOR
After graduating Cum Laude from Northwestern University, I spent years exploring the highs and lows of consciousness in India and the United States. I learned healing modalties that could help ease human suffering. Providence brought me back to the United States to complete my Waldorf certification, Masters in Education from UC Santa Cruz, and Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner certification. Now, I hope to share my transformational journey with you.
