About Anita

“The Art of Sacred Living” is Anita’s life’s work.

Through my educational modules, immersions, and workshops I offer unique, authentic, and high caliber curriculum and learning that are empowering and transformational. As a steward of this business, it is my intention to embody the teachings and weave the practices of Ayurveda, Yoga, Aromatherapy, Beauty and Sacred elements into learning environments that are heart-centered and embodied. The lessons are catalysts and platforms for individuals to discover, explore, and further access their deepest true nature, a connection to Self, their innate beauty, and cultivate Soul Nourishment.

As a holistic face and body therapist, I felt that there was a sacred element missing in the spa world, a feeling of presence, nurturance, and Soul. I wanted to create and offer beautiful services that would embody the Sacred Feminine. My knowledge of skincare, aromatherapy, Ayurveda, Nutrition and Sacred Rituals elevates the Spa experience to another level, utilizing the magic of botanicals and essential oils to balance and heal the senses.

My mission and hope is to inspire you to return to the Sacredness of life. It is imperative now that we come back home to simple principles. A foundation of balance, joy and in appreciation of this one magnificent life we have. This mind, body, spirit connection is aptly named for a reason. A profoundly sacred geometry that links us to everything on this planet.
Let us live as a whole in the influence of our health. It is your birthright.

Namaskar and Welcome to The Sacred Art of Living.

Allow me to share a little about me: Past, Present, and Future.

My journey in the sacred healing arts began more than thirty years ago. I consider myself a teacher, a healer, a yogini, a botanical alchemist, and passionate woman who shares her love for Ayurveda, Yoga, Beauty and the Art of Sacred Living. The fabric that makes up my lifestyle teachings is infused with the magic of my birthplace, Mysore, India, the spiritual lineage of my family and years of study with master teachers in a variety of healing modalities. My father a general surgeon had a thirst for all things yogic and blossomed when he retired to India! My mother, teacher, and mentor Swamini Srividyananda currently resides at the world renowned Vedanta & Sanskrit Institute, Arsha Vidya Gurukulam in Pennsylvania. So my path I feel was destined in service of others.

My professional career has been in the Luxury Spa Industry for over 30 years. I was a founding member of Aveda Corporation, a global lifestyle brand focusing on beauty, fashion, and wellness. As an international trainer, I facilitated and launched countless luxury spas and retail locations all over the world. I have also hosted and led corporate retreats to inspire and motivate people to live a healthy lifestyle.
Corporate life aside, my mission present time is to weave all these elements I have embodied thus far into a lifestyle company, The Sacred Art of Living. My desire is to offer these time-honored skills, learned from many luminary teachers, Dr. Vasant Lad, Mas Vidal, Indu Arora, and Dr. Jay Gopal to name a few. With so much gratitude and humbleness, I am inspired to share and continue these teachings.

“There is nothing equal to knowledge. “ ~ Bhagavadgita 4:38

Vidya is knowledge, Avidya is suffering. You choose.
