ABOUT IVY INGRAM
Helping Women Access Their Inner Wisdom Through the Ancient Healing Arts of Ayurveda
Hello, I'm Ivy!
I'm an Ayurveda Practitioner, Vedic Chant teacher, and yoga instructor with a master's degree in Counseling Psychology. For the past 18 years, I've been helping women experience deeper health and healing... not by fighting against their bodies, but by learning to listen to the wisdom already inside them.
How I Got Here
My path to Ayurveda didn't begin with illness. It began with stress and a search for something that actually helped.
I was working as a crisis counselor at a Harvard teaching hospital when I found yoga. What started as a way to manage my own stress slowly became a calling. I began teaching yoga to hospital staff, then to cancer patients, then to inmates in the prison system. Eventually I left my hospital job to study Ayurveda full-time, training for two years under the renowned Ayurveda physician Dr. Vasant Lad, later serving on his faculty.
Then my own health demanded my attention. A few years into my practice, I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, an autoimmune hyperthyroid condition. My western doctors wanted to remove or irradiate my thyroid. I chose a different path: turning to Ayurveda, western herbs, and months of treatment (and soul-searching) in South India.
Today, I still have my thyroid. I manage my condition with the lowest possible dose of pharmaceutical medication along with ongoing Ayurveda treatment and herbal support... defying what those original doctors told me was possible.
This experience deepened something I now share with every woman I work with: our bodies have an innate intelligence. We just need to learn how to hear it - and trust it.
MY CALLING
I Believe We Each Carry a Constant, Reliable Source of Wisdom Inside Us
This work feels like what I'm here to do. It's my dharma to be a bridge: to make the ancient teachings of Ayurveda and Vedic wisdom accessible to modern women, and to walk alongside them in their own healing journey.
I don't do things halfway. I've sought out the wisdom of the world's oldest active medical system on its native soil. I've explored in my own body how to integrate these practices into modern life. And I've watched, again and again, as women transform... not because I fixed them, but because they finally learned to trust themselves.
My mission is simple: to help you access your inner wisdom and awaken your voice.
