About

Hi, I'm Payal

and this,  is a snippet of my story:

First however, thank you for stopping by.

INHALE. EXHALE. BE.

A life lover, a finder, a wanderer.
Inquisitive, fun- loving, charming & crazy– that describes me well already.
From the East, born in the West, raised in the West, switched to the East, and came back to the West. I now live in Switzerland, the country I was born in.

I speak fluent Swiss German, German, English and Hindi.

Ever since I can think back, I have been connected to my two roots, Switzerland and India.

I was born and raised here in the capital city Berne and now live and work in Lucerne since more than a decade.

Between these two cities, I have lived in 4 other cities and 2 further countries. 10 years of India being one of them.

As much as I am at home here, I am also deeply rooted with the Indian culture, India as a whole and its heritage.

Come to think of it, you can take the Indian out of India, but you can't take the culture and 'love for food' out of an Indian!

Voilà, here I am. This is me.

One of my biggest inspirations in life to date, is my mother, Neelam. For 17 years, together with my father she ran an Indian restaurant in Zurich, well actually THE most authentic Indian restaurant till August 2021.

I have learnt from her, and still do. In my world, she is my biggest teacher  when it comes to cooking, masalas, enterpreneurship and some other vital lessons of life. Things for which I may have missed to muster the courage without her support.

My great grandmother on my mum's side was an ayurvedic vaidya. Gifted. Through my mum and my aunts, I continue to learn things no school would teach me.

With all the learnings combined with my lifelong natural way of education at home and in life in general, to now studying Ayurveda at the Heilpraktikerschule in Ebikon, Switzerland, the use of spices, herbs, rituals and so on, is all a part of my daily life.

Working with me, I’ll help you find your daily balance with simple tools you’d not want to trade in for anything again. Anything I share, has been of course tried and tested on myself first.

As part of my story, I was diagnosed with hypothyroid when I was 30. I have also battled my way through endometriosis and PCOS.

Having lived with these, has allowed me to understand these diseases a lot better and permitted me to understand them at a deeper level.

Well well, I am ready now. It's time to share some more of my passion and help spread the awareness that living a healthy lifestyle, addressing your minds issues when faced with your demons, needn't be as complicated as we sometimes may think them to be.

On the contrary, it can be so easy,  delightful, eye opening and relieving all at the same time. In other words:

SIMPLE. BALANCED. MINDFUL.
