How This Work Found Me.

Where This Comes From

I come from a long line of healers and wisdom keepers who sat with people in their suffering and helped them find the divine thread running through it.

As a child, I sat in silence with my grandfather — a guru and healer of many.

This work is rooted in something that arrived before any degree, any training, any credential.

Different sounds. Different centuries. Different continents. Five names. The same meaning.

Medicine Claimed Me Early. I Thought It Was Asking Me To Stay.

The first years of my life were spent on a farm and in the presence of the Divine.

This was my first education — before any school, before any formal tradition, before I had language for what I was experiencing. It taught me that life has a force moving through everything that cannot be measured but can absolutely be felt.

That knowing has never left. It lives underneath everything else.

Having lived across different countries and moved through different cultures, I eventually found my way to pre-medicine — beginning at George Washington University, where I entered an OB-GYN mentorship with surgical shadowing at George Washington Hospital. I then continued at the University of Maryland, and completed pediatric volunteer work at the National Institutes of Health. Medicine claimed me early. I thought it was asking me to stay.

It was only preparing me.

Storytelling And Healing Are The Same Impulse.

I left premed. I earned an MFA in Film Directing and Writing from CalArts — and discovered that storytelling and healing are the same impulse, reaching toward people through different doors.

I moved to Manhattan. I worked as a video journalist at the United Nations, covering Prime Ministers and world leaders. I learned that the most important things happen not in chambers — but in the quiet interior of a human being trying to understand what they are here for.

I came back to California. I wrote and directed a feature-length film — Conscious Love — originally distributed by Gaia, now available on Amazon Prime. And in that season, I also became a mother.

The Ancient And The Modern Are The Same Truth.

I deepened ancient knowledge alongside modern Western science — neuroscience, genetics, epigenetics — because the ancient and the modern are not opposing languages. They are the same truth, spoken in different centuries.

I healed myself through this medicine first. Then I learned how to offer it to others.

Given, Not Chosen.

I have always loved the planet Jupiter — its enormity, its gravitational pull, the way it quietly holds so much of our solar system in place. That love found its way into my children's book One-Day-Friends, and from there, my friends began calling me Jupiter.

The name stayed — first among friends, then among clients. It stayed because it carries the same intention as the work: to hold space for what is unfolding.

In Jyotish — Vedic astrology, one of the sister sciences within the Vedic tradition — each planet governs a dimension of human life. Mars governs the masculine life force: strength, vitality, the seed. Venus governs the feminine: love, ojas, the receptive field of creation. And Jupiter — Brihaspati, the Guru — is the Putra Karaka: the planet associated with children, expansion, and the soul's readiness. The greatest benefic in the solar system.

My clients call me Dr. Jupiter not because I asked them to, but because of how a session feels — unhurried, personal, and fully present.

The planet associated with fertility, wisdom, and expansion. That is the name. That is the intention behind the work.

The world I work in is a world of divine pairs — Brahma and Saraswati, Vishnu and Lakshmi, Shiva and Parvati. The masculine and the feminine as one. In this tradition, creation was never one-sided. It has always taken both.

This is not a communication model. It is a creation cosmology — 5,000 years old, spoken in different centuries, recognized in an instant.
