Ayurvedic Practitioner & Former Registered Nurse

Hi, I’m Amita Basra

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My passion is helping individuals align with their true nature, awaken their innate life force (Prana), and discover deep, lasting healing from the inside out.

My path to holistic wellness wasn’t a straight, linear road—it was born from my own personal journey through Western medicine, personal struggle, and a profound spiritual awakening.

The Foundations: 16+ Years in Nursing

Working in Western Medicine Wasn't Enough

For over 16 years, I served as a Registered Nurse in the Western medical system. I developed a deep respect for Western physiology, pathology, and acute care—it saves lives, and my clinical assessment and listening skills were honed during those years.

However, over time, I realized that modern healthcare often focuses on treating symptoms rather than the whole person. In acute and conventional care, the human element can sometimes get lost behind prescriptions and rigid protocols. I knew in my heart that true health required something deeper, gentler, and more empowering.

My Awakening: From Recovery to Ayurveda

My pivot into holistic healing came from my own personal crisis. While navigating a battle with substance use disorder, I entered recovery and stepped away from work to focus on healing my mind, body, and spirit.

During this time, a single dream changed everything: I dreamt of a dinner party where someone spoke the word “Ayurveda.”

I woke up in the middle of the night, searched for Ayurveda online, and was completely blown away by this ancient 5,000-year-old science of life. Although Ayurvedic principles were part of my cultural heritage and childhood kitchen remedies, I had never realized it was an entire, comprehensive system of medicine. I enrolled in Ayurveda school to heal myself—and the transformation was swift and undeniable.

The Birth of Kreem Shakti

As I integrated Ayurvedic wisdom into my daily life, my health restored rapidly. My friends, family, and former colleagues noticed the change. When I returned to bedside nursing, I began sharing small, actionable Ayurvedic practices with my patients.

One day, a patient asked if they could see me privately in my own practice. I didn’t even have an office at the time, but that question planted the seed for Kreem Shakti.

I realized my true calling was to move “upstream”—to give people the tools to heal themselves rather than relying on quick fixes or suppressive treatments. I made the conscious decision to leave traditional nursing completely and build a purpose-driven practice dedicated to holistic healing, recovery, and self-empowerment.

Where Western Science Meets Eastern Wisdom

Today, I combine my 16+ years of Western medical knowledge (including pharmacology and physiology) with ancient Ayurvedic science (currently completing an advanced clinical doctoral-level degree in Ayurveda).

Because of my background, I specialize in:

Supporting individuals in recovery or navigating compulsive behaviors.
Understanding herbal-drug interactions and body mechanics safely.
Guiding clients to understand their unique physical constitution (Prakriti) and imbalances (Vikriti).
Providing compassionate, non-judgmental care rooted in self-awareness and self-love.

My Philosophy: Embracing the Whole Journey

My journey through life and addiction has not been straight or narrow—it’s been dynamic, challenging, and deeply eye-opening. But I’ve learned that embracing our shadows and choosing to love ourselves through the ups and downs is what ultimately brings light and peace.

In my former caretaking roles, I spent years putting others before myself. Through Ayurveda, I learned that choosing myself isn’t selfish—it is how I choose and serve others best. When we elevate our own vibration and find internal peace, that healing ripples out to everyone around us.

Whether you are seeking physical vitality, recovering from a life transition, or searching for deep mental and emotional balance, I am here to hold space for you.
