Alisha Aum

Alisha has been a practitioner of meditation and yoga for over 20 years, exploring several different traditions and practices over the years. She also had a successful career as a Business Operations professional in the IT industry for over 15 years living and working in India, Dubai, Australia and the US since 2008. Due to a health crisis in 2009 that could not be resolved through conventional medicine, Alisha quit her career and rediscovered Mindfulness as a path towards recovery of her physical and emotional health. Inspired and motivated by her first-hand experience in the healing power of Mindfulness practices, particularly for PTSD and chronic pain, she pursued further training at the Center for Mindfulness, UMass Medical School by completing 2 levels of practicum and the Teachers Development Intensive in teaching Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Programs. Taking a 360-degree approach to her own health and wellness, Alisha is also certified in Plant Based Nutrition from eCornell and is a Certified Qi Gong Community Practice Leader.
