Chief Ayurveda Physician

Dr. Sreelaja has dedicated 35 years to classical Ayurveda. She has steered rejuvenation programs for guests from over 50 countries, and her global practice includes advisory residencies in Oman, Russia, and Southeast Asia.

Every consultation with Dr. Sreelaja begins with nadipariksha (pulse reading) followed by a personalised protocol of therapies, oils, herbs, meditation, and diet. Her care is both clinical and deeply maternal—precisely why guests return year after year.
