About this user

For over 40 years, Elaine Dodson has been practicing a healthy lifestyle that includes Ayurvedic and vegetarian cooking. In the late 90s, she studied in India for seven years, and served as the household chef for her spiritual guru in Cambridge, England. That led to a long study of Ayurvedic cooking techniques throughout India. Over the years, she developed recipes and a style of Ayurvedic cooking geared towards today's busy lifestyle, which she now teaches in a popular cooking classes. In addition she founded two successful vegetarian and Ayurvedic restaurants: Kalachandiji's in Dallas, Texas, and Govinda's in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Besides her fabulous resume as an Ayurvedic chef, she has more than 35 years of specialized training in hair design and hair health, skin analysis and treatments, make-up artistry, wardrobe, color and image consultation, holistic nutrition and natural living. She is a licensed cosmetologist, aesthetician and trichologist (hair and scalp therapy). She has studied with the icons of that industry such as Vidal Sassoon, Jehrri Rhedding, Paul Mitchell, and Aveda founder Horst Reichenbacker. She is certified in aromatherapy, reiki, and macrobiotic and Ayurvedic cooking, with years of practical studies in nutrition, health sciences, psychology and esoteric spiritual practices and philosophies including Native American and Eastern religions, yoga and meditation.
