Journey
The quest for safer and less invasive alternatives to conventional medicine started for Jayashri when taking care of elders at home. A loving family ran from specialist to specialist trying to understand the root cause of symptoms. Both in the case of her father and uncle, the disease was not diagnosed. Each specialist would prescribe some medication that caused complications in other areas of the body. Change again and new complications would crop up. The sheer helplessness and the pain suffered by her dear ones inspired her to seek out alternate systems of medicine.
Her experience with acupuncture was first hand as a teenager, when she was cured of her genetic migraine. Around eight years ago, after seeing the futility of treating humans as a bunch of organs with a specialist for each, she started her journey into acupuncture.
Aantarya was started in a small room along with her architecture practice in Banashankari, Bengaluru. A need for expansion prompted us to shift to a larger facility in Jayanagar.
Jayashri’s learning has taken her into deeper healing waters and new therapies are added. The journey continues with more and more healers joining team Aantarya and many beneficiaries spreading the word about acupuncture.
