Welcome. I'm JC Varkey.

My life's purpose is to help others reconnect with their innate capacity for healing, balance, and transformation. Through the wisdom of Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedic Astrology, and compassionate self-inquiry, I guide individuals toward greater physical well-being, emotional resilience, spiritual growth, and a deeper connection with their authentic selves.

My path to this work has been both professional and deeply personal.

As someone who has navigated addiction, trauma, and profound personal transformation, I understand firsthand the challenges that can arise on the journey toward healing. These experiences cultivated a deep sense of empathy and a commitment to serving others who are seeking meaningful and lasting change. Today, I draw upon both traditional wisdom and lived experience to support clients as they move from struggle toward greater clarity, purpose, and wholeness.

I am of Indian heritage, with family roots in Kerala, India, where many of the traditions that inspire my work have been practiced for generations. While my upbringing provided an early connection to these teachings, my formal training has allowed me to study them in depth and apply them in a practical, modern context.

I completed my Ayurvedic studies through Sampoorna College of Ayurveda & Vedic Studies, earning certifications as an Ayurveda Health Counselor & Vedic Consultant (Level I) and Ayurveda Practitioner & Vedic Advisor (Level II), including clinical internship training at Apthasree Ayurvedic Hospital in Kerala, India. My education is grounded in the classical teachings of Ayurveda and Yoga, including the Ashtanga Hridaya, Charaka Samhita, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and the non-dual wisdom traditions of Advaita Vedanta.

In addition, I completed the renowned 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training through the Kripalu School of Yoga, one of the most respected yoga training institutions in North America, known for its emphasis on compassionate self-awareness, embodied practice, and holistic well-being. I also hold a 200-Hour Trauma-Informed Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Certificate from Yoga Farm Ithaca, further enhancing my ability to create safe, supportive spaces for healing and personal growth.

My training also includes certification as a Certified Professional Life Coach through the Certified Life Coach Institute, an accredited coaching program that strengthened my ability to help clients identify obstacles, clarify goals, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

As a student of Vedic Astrology (Jyotisha), I completed advanced studies through the American Institute of Vedic Studies (AIVS) under the guidance and teachings of Dr. David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri), earning certification in the Vedic Wisdom of Ayurvedic Astrology. This training allows me to integrate the insights of Jyotisha with Ayurveda and Yoga to offer clients a more comprehensive understanding of their unique constitution, life patterns, strengths, and opportunities for growth.

Before dedicating myself fully to holistic health and spiritual studies, I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management from the University of Texas. This foundation enables me to combine practical structure and professionalism with the timeless wisdom of the healing traditions I now serve.

My approach is holistic, compassionate, and individualized. Every person carries a unique story, and healing is never one-size-fits-all. Whether you are seeking support for physical health concerns, emotional challenges, life transitions, spiritual development, or a deeper understanding of yourself, I strive to meet you where you are with presence, respect, and authentic care.

My role is not to "fix" anyone. Rather, it is to serve as a guide, helping you uncover the wisdom, strength, and healing potential that already exist within you.

I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
