Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor
Rebecca Donato
“People can flourish at any age if they remain proactive in self-care, cultivate an inner life, and become a friend to their own mind.”
Rebecca is an Ayurvedic Health Counselor and certified Health & Wellness Coach. She supports clients in pursing optimal health and vibrant living by discovering a deeper understanding of their true nature, tapping personal strengths, and gaining clarity around purpose in life. She knows from experience that the sister sciences of Ayurveda and Yoga are potent tools for this endeavor, as they offer a rich array of transformative, healing and life-affirming practices.
Rebecca partners with clients to unpack who they are, clarify what they need, and develop personal self-care strategies that emphasize body, mind and spirit in equal measure. She uses knowledge and intuition cultivated through years of practice and study of asana, meditation, Vedic philosophy, positive psychology, and of course, Ayurveda.
From an early age, Rebecca was fascinated by the gift of longevity and what leads to a vibrant life. This led her to a 20 year career working with older adults, where she has witnessed first-hand that people can flourish at any age if they remain proactive about self-care, cultivate an inner life, and become a friend to their own mind. She currently serves as a consultant and trainer for Hebrew SeniorLife, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, and helps other non-profit senior living organizations empower older adults through life coaching services and multidimensional wellness programming.
Rebecca holds a Bachelor of Music Business & Technology from NYU and a MBA from Georgetown University. She is a 200-RYT yoga teacher and is currently pursuing her 300-RYT certification with Down Under School of Yoga.

Tessa Brackett
Tessa, a native of England, began taking Shadow Yoga classes and learning about Ayurveda 20 years ago while recovering from a car accident. She felt an immediate curiosity and affinity to both Yoga and Ayurveda, and since that time, both have been foundational in her daily life.
From her own injuries and recovery journey, Tessa learned that physical health and mental well-being are intrinsically linked. She retrained as a Complimentary Massage Therapist and opened her own holistic massage business in London. Through her work and her own experience, Tessa understood the importance of the one-to-one healing relationship and also witnessed the profound impact of a holistic approach to health. She discovered a passion for caring for people by nurturing their connection to their bodies, which fostered wider and more integrated benefits.
In 2011, Tessa and her husband moved to the USA to adopt three siblings. Since then she has widened her understanding of whole health healing and vitality practices with formal trainings in Ayurveda (AHC) and Yoga (YTT500).
Tessa’s mission is to convey the wisdom of Ayurveda to enhance self-awareness, empower health, to enrich each individual life and the lives of those around them.
