About Me - Manjiri Nadkarni Ayurvedic MD, Holistic Nutritionist
Manjiri Nadkarni
Ayurvedic MD, Registered Holistic Nutritionist
Hey! I'm Manjiri. I am here to get your health back on track by uncovering the root cause of your health issues using my super power of Ayurveda combined with Holistic
My Journey
My journey towards Ayurveda and Holistic Healing started with my own health struggles. After endless visits to various mainstream medical doctors, specialists like endocrinologists, I felt more and more frustrated with the lack of answers to the weight gain and hormonal issues I was facing as a teenager.
Working with this amazing doctor, who later became my
mentor, I experienced the powerful science of ancient
Ayurveda first hand. Soon I followed her footsteps, graduating
as a BAMS ‘Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery’from the same college R A Podar Medical (Ayu) College as
she did.
I then enrolled for an intensive MD program at the topmost
Ayurvedic University in India- Institute of Post Graduate
Training & Research Ayurveda, Jamnagar Gujarat by
securing a seat amongst the 15 seats allotted for all over India
tried by thousands of contenders.
In the prime of my Ayurvedic journey is when I was the
healthiest I had ever been....60 kgs with healthy glowing
skin and thick lustrous hair.
Having found love, I moved to Canada in 2010. Soon I
realized that the Western World needed Ayurveda more
than ever to undo the damage created by the ‘Standard
American Diet’, an extremely busy lifestyle and being
disconnected with their own selves.
To understand the North American diet I further studied
Nutrition and graduated top of my class with honours from
Canadian School of Natural Nutrition as a Registered
Holistic Nutritionist in 2014.
To complement my practice, I studied BASE Allergy
y and started my clinical practice at Bluewater Nutriton Clinic in Sarnia, Ontario.
I truly believe that a good nutrition aligned with the
principles of Ayurveda is the key to optimizing your
health. It fortifies your body, boosts your immunity
and keeps you healthy and strong through various
stages as well as challenges that life offers.
I have been practicing Ayurveda along with Holistic Nutrition
for over a decade now supporting the health of people in
Sarnia, London, Chatham etc via in-person consults and all
over Canada and the rest of the world via virtual
consultations. I am so excited to bring Ayurveda to my clients
who are based in different continents and countries like US,
UK, India.
My mission is to make Ayurveda accessible to all and I have
supported the growth of Ayurveda in Canada, being one of the
founding members and past president of Ayurveda
Association of Canada (May 2017- June 2019).
I have also been awarded the Charaka Award for
Excellence in Ayurvedic Teaching for 2016 by AAPNA
(Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America)
You can find me as a featured expert on the local radio
show ‘Ask the Expert’ on CHOK 103.9 FM or educating
people about Ayurvedic diet and Nutrition via workshops,
webinars, seminars and yes Facebook and YouTube lives.
In 2020 alone, I have hosted a Global Holistic Immunity
Summit, launched 3 Ayurvedic courses as well as launched
a course to train Ayurvedic Doctors about practicing
Ayurveda in Canada.
In my free time you can find me tending to my garden,
growing herbs like ginger, turmeric, rosemary, sage as
well as organic vegetables in my backyard garden.
Food is one of my greatest loves and you will find me
experimenting with new recipes and dishes and
feeding loved ones.
And what feeds my soul is Vedic Philosophy, I read
books by Dr Robert Svoboda in the year 2014, met him
in 2015 and consider him to be one of the greatest
mentors in my life. Everyday I try to life a life that is
aligned with my dharma (duty) performing the best of
karmas (actions)

I first met Manjiri at my 200 hr yoga teacher training with Mothership School of Yoga in London. She was warm and welcoming, and I instantly felt connected to Manjiri and what she was teaching us about Ayurveda. I made my first appointment a few months later to get support for balancing my hormones.
My mood felt all over the place, and was feeling anxious as well. Through herbal supplements, probiotics, and nutrition, Manjiri has assisted me in feeling more myself and balanced.
I would recommend anyone to see Manjiri; her wealth of knowledge and holistic approach can support so many ailments and complaints.
