Lisa Ann Ehle, MPH, AHC, is a certified Holistic Ayurvedic Coach with a background in Physical & Psychiatric Rehabilitation Counseling and Public Health. She brings over two decades of experience working with hospitals, healthcare systems, and community health initiatives, experience that revealed both the brilliance and the limitations of modern medicine.

Lisa’s journey into Ayurveda grew from a deep desire to help people heal not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually. She integrates the evidence-based insight of public health, the person-centered compassion of counseling, and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to offer a truly integrative approach to well-being. Her mission is to bridge these worlds, to help individuals and care teams recognize that optimal health emerges when the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being align in harmony.

Lisa's recent journey to Kerala, India, reverently known as “God’s Country," deepened her commitment to bringing the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to the United States. Immersed in the beauty of the land and the generosity of its people, she visited a traditional Health Village to witness the true healing power of Ayurveda and explored herbal gardens and a manufacturing site where medicinal plants are cultivated and processed with extraordinary care and quality control. This experience affirmed Apricot & Amber Ayurveda’s partnership with Kerala Ayurveda, honoring the origins of this timeless science and ensuring that the herbs and products we suggest are sourced safely and ethically from local growers whose lineages have been rooted in Ayurveda for generations.

Lisa believes that healing is a shared journey. At Apricot & Amber Ayurveda, we honor the power of community and collaboration, partnering with both modern healthcare providers and traditional healing practitioners to expand access to whole-person, integrative care. Together, we can do more: build healthier individuals, stronger families, and flourishing communities.
