About Karelle Lindsay Snyder 

Karelle’s journey toward becoming an Ayurvedic coach began long before she even knew it existed.  Growing up, she had a love for books, theater and creating art inspired by the human experience. While she spent most of her adult life as a nanny and middle school teacher, she also felt a calling for a career that would allow her to help people live a beautiful life.  She initially thought this meant creating art through beautiful experiences and environments. Karelle threw herself into the profession of teaching theater but found the stress level and residual effects to be incredibly depleting of her soul energy. As time went on, she began to see that to create beauty we must first have beauty within ourselves. During a particularly heavy plot point in the fall of 2019, Karelle was browsing around a “Barnes and Nobles” and stumbled upon a book called “A Little Bit of Ayurveda” by Deacon Carpenter.  She had never heard the word, didn’t even know how to pronounce it, but something told her to buy the book.

She still recalls settling into bed and reading just a few pages when a realization took hold, “This is it!” The thing she had been looking for, how to help people create a beautiful life story. As the year went on, the entire world experienced a major plot twist with the arrival of Covid 19 and Karelle found herself in lockdown.  During this time, she explored the ideas of Ayurveda and holistic healthcare. All the google searches and amazon purchases lead to a Facebook add for a Master’s Program in Maharishi Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine at Maharishi International University.  Without a clear plan, Karelle took the leap and applied.

Karelle began her career as a student of Maharishi Ayurveda in the fall of 2021.  Her professors included:

Karelle completed her Master’s in Maharishi Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine in the spring of 2024.  She enjoyed her experience at Maharishi International University and has begun an Educational Doctorate in Transformational Leadership and Coaching to further develop her skills.
