Why This Matters…
It all started with my first trip to India.
My journey with this work began long before I became a Yoga Gives Back Ambassador.
Over the past 25+ years, I’ve walked the yogic path—and for 15 of those years, my life was deeply rooted in India. Between 2004 and 2019, I made 17 trips to study Ashtanga Yoga at its source in Mysore, eventually becoming one of fewer than 20 women worldwide to receive Certification at the highest level from R. Sharath Jois.
But beyond the practice, it was the women and girls I met there who truly opened my heart.
In 2006, while living in Mysore on very little income myself, I began supporting my housekeeper’s two daughters through school. For just $500, I could fund a full year of tuition. One of those girls went on to earn a Master’s degree in computer engineering—a future that would have never been possible without outside support.
“That moment showed me what a small amount can do. It planted the seed for everything that followed.”
When I discovered Yoga Gives Back in 2013 and learned about the SHE Scholarship for Higher Education, it felt like a natural next step—an opportunity to help hundreds of girls access education, avoid early marriage, and create meaningful futures.
Today, as a Board Member and long-time Ambassador, I’m committed to expanding access to higher education for girls across rural India—especially in West Bengal, where the risks of child marriage, trafficking, and poverty are alarmingly high.
This is why I’ve created the Fuel Her Future fundraising campaign. With your help—and a dollar-for-dollar match from doTERRA Healing Hands—we can fund five-year scholarships for girls who deserve every opportunity to thrive.
