Meet Archana Rama

Archana’s life experiences from the beginning, took her on a journey of life-lessons that included amazing opportunities and great loss; a life with much privilege and devastating abuse. It is the journey of navigating through life’s challenges that Archana moved from pain to enlightenment.  Ultimately, this path has led her to a place of achieving a greater sense of peace, wisdom and harmony within herself.  It is this gift that she shares with others now.  

Archana grew up in India in a Hindu family who were dedicated and devout followers of Yogi Sai Baba. She moved to Canada when she was 15 but had itchy feet and got down to the business of traveling the world as soon as she was old enough. 

It was on one of her travels that her life took a sharp turn ... she met a man who changed the whole trajectory of her life. That man was His Holiness, The Dalai Lama.  Arch became a Buddhist Nun where she studied under his tutelage along with His Holiness Karmappa and Khumturl Rinpoche for 12 years. 

Archana returned to Canada several years ago and has been dedicating herself to a continued study of the healing arts. She continues to deepen her meditation practice through intensive retreats offered through the Vipassana Center in Ontario and stays connected to her ashram in Dharamsala, India. 

Archana has always had the ability to sense people’s physical wellness and state of being. She is a gemstone dealer and so pairing the healing benefits of gemstones to help people heal from illness and dis-ease was a natural progression.

Today, Archana utilizes any combination of her healing modalities when working with people …crystals, aromatherapies, Reiki or Huna.  She will advise someone on how they can continue their own healing at home through meditation and visualization.
