Hi, I'm Minakshi...
Some of you may know me as Mina. I want to warmly invite you into my world. Nestled in the heart of West London, I share my life with my husband and our two wonderful children.
It's been quite a journey that's led me to become a qualified Ayurveda Lifestyle and Nutrition Consultant, along with being a certified Face Yoga teacher.
My Story
THE AYURVEDA NEST AND COMPASSION: The Ayurveda Nest is a dream that was born from a profound calling deep within me. It's a place where those grappling with life's imbalances can find refuge, healing, strength, and the means to soar towards new horizons. I've faced my own share of health challenges over the years, so I understand the desperate need for a safe haven when health takes an unexpected turn.
At The Ayurveda Nest, you're not just a visitor; you're a cherished guest. I extend a warm embrace, free from judgment, and here to listen with profound empathy. I truly comprehend your journey, and my mission is to empower you while equipping you with the tools to gently guide you back to a place of balance. My guidance draws from the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, my own journey through nearly 50 years of life, and a powerful intuitive connection to help you rediscover your true self.
CULTURAL FUSION AND EXPERTISE: I come from a harmonious blend of cultures, having been born and raised in London while being enriched by the holistic wisdom of my Indian heritage. This fusion has uniquely positioned me to assist numerous clients here in the UK. I understand the delicate art of integrating Ayurveda and well-being into the busy lives of the UK, a challenge that many of my clients face. My exposure to both worlds has given me a unique insight into bridging the gap between Western and Eastern perspectives on food, herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle, enabling lasting, positive transformations in the lives of many.
PROFESSIONAL DEDICATION AND AFFILIATIONS: As a member of the Complementary Medical Association, I'm wholeheartedly committed to upholding the highest standards in holistic well-being.
PERSONAL JOURNEY AND DISCOVERY OF AYURVEDA: My connection with Ayurveda runs deep, woven into the fabric of my life from the very beginning. The daily rhythms, the aromas of spices, the art of yoga, and the secrets of breath were ever-present in the backdrop of my family's life. Yet, it wasn't until my early twenties, marked by the profound and untimely demise of my mother and brother, that holistic healing and eventually Ayurveda took centre stage in my life. In time, my father, too, departed, and despite conventional medical assurances of good health, I found myself barely able to walk to my own kitchen. It was then that I knew something had to change. This pivotal point in my life was a rebirth, a time when I found and truly understood the meaning of holistic healing. Ayurveda discovered me. It has since held, healed, and empowered me through the intricate tapestry of this ancient holistic science.
HEALING AND PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION: My journey has been far from easy, but the past decade of nurturing both my physical and mental well-being has been nothing short of a miracle. In Ayurveda, we believe that mental and physical health are inseparable, and this holistic approach has been my guiding light. Not only did I heal myself, but I naturally became the go-to person in my local community for a wide range of physical and mental imbalances, extending my healing touch to my own family, who suffered from various ailments.
COMMITTED TO SERVICE: With the blessings of my ancestors, I move forward in service, merging my profound understanding of Ayurvedic wisdom with the rich tapestry of my life's journey. I'm dedicated to helping those who cross my path, one breath at a time.
Thank you for joining me on this transformative journey.
I invite you to take a step further by booking a complimentary 15-minute discovery today.

What People Say
M.K.
“Mina is nothing short of amazing. I contacted Mina after a year of ill health and a series of private consultant appointments and scans which unfortunately couldn’t diagnose my issue. This had become extremely frustrating as I was not able to get a solution and was still suffering. During my first consultation with Mina, I understood the cause of my health issues and how they were related to the beliefs of Ayurveda. She spent sufficient time gathering key information and getting to the bottom of the problem. This was followed by a comprehensive plan which suggested some very practical lifestyle changes. I have managed to introduce some of the suggested changes and have noticed a difference in my health. She is passionate, caring and motivating. I am glad I found her at the time I needed the most help.”
