Meet Your Host: Andrea Kaplan
Ayurvedic Counselor & Registered Nurse
I graduated from Decker in 2017, where I served as President of the Nursing Student Association (NSA). After graduation, I worked as a nurse in New York City, gaining experience in fast-paced, high-intensity care. However, my journey took a transformative turn when a major life change forced me to focus on my mental, emotional, and physical health. In 2020, amidst the challenges of working in NYC during the pandemic, I felt a growing pull toward holistic healing. Then, I began travel nursing.
During my time as a traveling nurse across the U.S. and Hawaii, I deepened my studies in Ayurvedic Medicine, traveling to India to get hands-on training and become a certified Ayurvedic Counselor. Now, I’m continuing my education in Colorado, pursuing the path to becoming an Ayurvedic Doctor.
In our coffee chat, we’ll explore Ayurveda—the sister science of yoga—and how this ancient system of medicine integrates lifestyle, diet, and herbal treatments to support healing. With growing scientific support for practices like meditation, stress management, and personalized nutrition, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach that complements contemporary healthcare. I hope to inspire you to expand your perspective on health and consider the value of traditional, Eastern, and integrative approaches alongside modern nursing.

Om Shanti,
Drea
