About Me
Here’s my story.


I also took time to develop myself in order to achieve my dream of marrying the love of my life and having children.
I completed a yoga teaching certificate with Ana Forrest and benefitted tremendously from three 10-day Vipassana silent meditation retreats.
When I truly had fallen in love with myself, I found true love — while surfing on a beach in Costa Rica (true story)! Kiran and I got married in 2011, and have been blissfully enjoying our lives together ever since. We are blessed to be the parents of twin 8-year-old boys.
Aside from a career and family I adore, I am grateful to have been able to travel the world while working. I have lived for extended periods in Hawaii, Paris, San Francisco, LA, Costa Rica, and Singapore. I have been self-employed, living where I want and working when I want, for most of my adult life.

Right now, I am incredibly fortunate to call Honolulu, Hawaii home. I live here with my beloved husband, filmmaker / author Kiran Ramchandran, and our twin boys.
I serve on the Board of the HOPE Foundation USA, an international NGO that offers a home, healthcare, education, job skills training and more to the street and slum-affiliated children of Kolkata, India.
My mantra is: “Fear less, Love MORE!”
