Cultivating the Art of Nourishing Life

I'm Sugandhi, and it's my good fortune to guide you towards the radiant health you deserve.

I believe health isn't just about your physical body; it's about your entire well-being. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

The greatest joy in my life is helping women like you get and stay healthy so you can focus on living your life and doing what you love. You have better things to do than be sick, stuck at home with period issues, gut issues, and mystery symptoms or dragging yourself through your day because you feel awful.

Conventional medicine falls short in truly understanding and serving women. Most doctors offer few options except pills and invasive procedures. This can leave you feeling isolated, disempowered and like you’ve lost control of your body and your future.

I’m here to help women who feel dragged down by their period problems, hormonal imbalances, and chronic symptoms reclaim vibrant health and vitality. As a licensed acupuncturist and functional medicine practitioner, I blend practical ancient wisdom with modern evidence-based to create personalized solutions that address the root causes of your symptoms.

My approach combines the time-tested principles of Chinese Medicine with the evidence-based, systems-oriented framework of Functional Medicine. Both recognize that the body is a network of interconnected systems and that symptoms are signals pointing to deeper imbalances. By using advanced lab testing and a comprehensive health assessment, I uncover the root causes of hormonal chaos, painful periods, mood swings, digestive issues, and more. Then, we craft a personalized plan to realign your body and restore harmony.

My journey began when I was 18, studying qi gong and traditional Chinese medicine under a master physician. This experience revealed the beauty and power of harmonizing the body’s internal systems with nature. Chinese medicine views the body as a dynamic system where all organs and processes are connected, and true healing comes from restoring balance.

Functional medicine was a natural evolution for me—it takes the same systems-based approach, using advanced lab testing to pinpoint root causes and evidence-based protocols to create lasting change.

My guiding principle in life is to "love & serve." This value has been shaped by over 20 years of practicing yoga and meditation, as well as years spent living in India, studying Indian philosophy, and volunteering. This philosophy is at the heart of my work—providing compassionate, uplifting, and results-driven care. I believe true healing happens when we connect the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of health. My goal is to empower you with practical tools and personalized solutions so you can thrive. I can’t wait to help you achieve the health and vitality you deserve.
