She holds a BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Science) and an MD in Acupuncture and Energy Medicine, both from Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, and carries thirteen years of clinical experience across high volume hospitals, private clinics, and telemedicine. Her assessments blend traditional diagnostic methods, including pulse, tongue, and iris diagnosis, with modern tools such as retinal scanning, laboratory investigation, and imaging, building a fuller picture of a client's health before recommending a path forward.

Her practice began as a Naturopathy Doctor at Natural Yogis Yoga Organisation in Chennai in 2013, followed by seven years treating patients at Yuva Nature Cure Clinic, before an Acupuncture Residency at the International Institute of Yoga and Naturopathy Medical Sciences from 2022 to 2025, where she handled sixty to seventy patient cases daily under high volume inpatient and outpatient supervision.

Alongside clinical practice, she has conducted randomized controlled research on geriatric depression and autism spectrum disorders, and an observational study on iris diagnosis across more than a hundred students. Her published work includes a study protocol on acupuncture at ghost points for depression in elders, and a paper on integrating environmental ethics into yoga practice, and she presented the best poster at the 2nd International AYUSH Conference and Exhibition in Dubai in 2024, on using specific pressure points to support cognition in autism spectrum disorder.

She has particular expertise in supporting children with autism and in geriatric care, and focuses on preventive medicine, helping clients build the resilience and immunity to stay well against the health challenges affecting both current and upcoming generations. Her practice draws on acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and electro-acupuncture alongside naturopathy, diet therapy, reflexology, meditation guidance, and sound therapy.

In recognition of her yoga teaching, she received an appreciation certificate from the former Director General of Police of Tamil Nadu for choreographing and training ninety special police personnel who performed for the state's Chief Minister, and has personally trained senior police officials, including at DGP and IGP level, in yoga practice.
