Our History

Balance & Bliss Academy of Ayurveda was conceptualized by Denise O’Dunn, Ayurvedic Practitioner and owner of Balance & Bliss Ayurvedic Lifestyle Center, as she was frequently presented with requests from students, clients and business associates seeking to deepen their knowledge base of Ayurveda through formal education. Some expressed interest in Ayurveda for personal enrichment, others for the advancement of professional development.

Denise began planning the academy, with the support of her husband, Kevin O’Dunn, and business associate, Val Spies; Denise is proud to offer the inaugural year of the Balance & Bliss Academy of Ayurveda 2011 - 2012.
