Ariadna Landman

TEACHER

Ariadna is an Ayurvedic medicine practitioner, teacher and writer.

Ariadna's interest in healthcare started in 1999 when, as a teenager, she first travelled to India and discovered its traditional medical system, Ayurveda.

Upon her return to London she enrolled with the College of Ayurveda and completed her PGDAM in 2003, after serving as an intern at the renowned AVP Hospital in Coimbatore and several clinics in Pune.

Wanting to deepen her studies, Ariadna spent two years as an apprentice to Dr Liladhar Gupta at his Dhanwantari Ayurveda centre.

In 2009, she completed her BSc in Ayurveda at Manipal University.

Thus, for the past 20 years, Ariadna has dedicated herself exclusively to the study and practice of Ayurveda, with a special interest in women's healthcare.
