90 August 2023 interview A rollercoaster lifestyle, diagnosis of two autoimmune conditions and a near-death experience led Amreeta Mohandas to a healing Ayurvedic lifestyle. The big corporation employee turned Ayurvedic wellness coach tells Farah Baig about being back from the brink of death, the lifechanging effects of Ayurveda and her quest to guide busy women on their wellness journey. Progress is often equated with modernity although the two couldn’t be more different. Sometimes, following what could be considered “modern” can in fact have devastating effects on our health and overall lives. Like most of us, Amreeta Mohandas once embodied society’s image of a highly successful, modern-day career woman; she was born and raised in the Middle East and was steadily climbing the corporate ladder at a big firm unknowingly neglecting herself. “I can say that I’ve had my fair share of experience leading the big corporate life. I worked in the financial department of a multinational company which sold the industry’s most popular processed food – a life that was far from my ethos of healthy living,” she says. “I can happily say that I have left the corporate lifestyle behind consciously to pursue Ayurveda and the passion to help women heal. This is especially in the case of women with chronic conditions who I persevere to help take their health and healing back into their hands,” she says with a smile. Where It All Started MORE ALIVE THAN EVER BEFORE
