ABOUT OUR FOUNDERS
DeAnna Batdorff, a Generation-X born and raised in California, is a wholistic health detective with over 30 years of experience as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Lymphatic Massage Specialist, Nutrition Counselor, Western Herbalist, and Clinical Aromatherapist. She specializes in reading the pulse, spine, face, skin, and tongue as primary assessment tools. All of DeAnna’s teachings are rooted in her three foundational pillars: listen to self through symptoms, the right to take action, and ‘follow-through means feeling better.'
DeAnna has seen it all. Some 26 years ago, DeAnna founded and established a ‘by donation’ Ayurvedic weekly clinic and has the only Medi-Cal/Medi-Care funded Ayurvedic consultation program through the West County Health Centers. As an educator who gained permission to share knowledge from her mentors in India and beyond, DeAnna has assisted over 250,000 individuals on their journey to better health through owning their right to 'self-care as healthcare’—offering an in-depth understanding of how the body works and how to bring it back to a state of elemental balance no matter what the circumstance, even during end-of-life sacred passages. Her well-earned wisdom and radical teachings offer an uplifting and empowering look into how elemental theory presents in our 'dis-ease' and how one can apply elemental traditions from around the world to improve wellness.
DeAnna’s life passion lies in providing a neutral safe space for clients to explore emotional awareness with all physical issues and supporting ALL people regardless of their gender identity, religion, creed or socioeconomic background. She is known to talk about anything and everything when it comes to the body and health—nothing is "TMI" for DeAnna! Year after year, she pushes against the disempowering beliefs and exclusions that many have become accustomed to in their health journey. Instead, she hands her clients back the power to reclaim their individual health—to become their own health detective through learning to listen to their symptoms along with having access to the balancing remedies that can bring upon better health.
