Hello, I’m

Elizabeth Marie Swamy

Ayurvedic Doula + Ayurvedic Doctor, Yoga Teacher, MA

I discovered Āyurveda during my yoga teacher training when a missed class turned into a project that became much more—a practice that gave language to my lived experience and connected me to a true community, my sangha. I went on to study at the Kripalu School of Ayurveda and graduated as an Āyurveda Health Counselor, later continuing under Dr. Anusha Sehgal at Boston Ayurveda Inc., where I earned my Āyurveda Practitioner certification in 2022 and as of 2025, an Āyurvedic Doctor.

My path to supporting mothers grew deeply personal after the birth of my rainbow baby. I struggled in my own postpartum recovery until I received wonderful care from a fellow student and Ayurvedic Doctor—it truly transformed my journey. Inspired by that healing, I felt called to give the same support back to other moms.

Alongside my Ayurvedic training, I hold a Master’s degree in Nonprofit Business from NYU, and my career has spanned medical research at the UW–Madison Hospital, Montessori preschool leadership, youth counseling, running a dance company, and teaching yoga. No matter the role, my mission has always been to care with love, compassion, and encouragement.

Connecting with nature and it’s rhythms is very important to me and shapes the way I work with my clients. You will find that I listen intently and meet you where you are at - because we are all works in progress and we are all striving to live the best life we can. I am here for you without judgment or expectation but instead with love, compassion and encouragement. I will treat you how I want to be treated - which is a GOOD thing because I like a queen’s treatment :) 

I now live in San Jose with my husband, our daughter, and our French bulldog, Pali.

Namaste, Liz
