About ASHA & MUKT

About ASHA

ASHA – Academy of Spiritual & Holistic Arts was founded in 2010 in San Francisco with a heartfelt mission: to offer holistic treatments and healing education rooted in ancient wisdom and modern integrative practices. Inspired by the Sanskrit word ASHA, meaning “HOPE,” the academy was envisioned as a sanctuary for those seeking balance, renewal, and personal transformation. While we began as a physical space for healing and learning, we now offer outcall healing services and online coaching, therapy and classes, bringing the essence of ASHA (hope) directly to individuals wherever they are in life and space. Our work continues to be guided by the belief that healing is not just a treatment—but a journey of hope, awareness, and connection.
