Salila Sukumaran has a beautiful life story, with all of the ups-and-downs, wins-and-losses, and dark-nights-of-the-soul required for a good hero’s journey. Four years ago, her chapter took a riveting turn when she reconnected with her ancestral lineage of Ayurveda, and chose to dedicate her life to bringing anyone who’d listen to the ancient Panchakarma treatment centers of her beloved Kerala, India.

Within only a few years, Salila’s business has completely blown up. She began receiving requests to speak on talk radio, to teach at exclusive yoga retreats, and has recently been recognized as a yoga ambassador to the state of Kerala. Finding herself suddenly in the company of Nike Master Trainers and world-renowned fitness representatives, Salila knew that she had to up her game – and fast. She had transformed, and her current website no longer represented the service she was providing.

In Salila’s project, I received a lesson in balance. She needed a platform that she could frequently update and work on, but a design that reflected her as the amazing investment that she is. She needed to share with her clients that her guidance was elegant and sophisticated, while also maintaining that the purpose of her mission will bring even royalty to depths within themselves as earthy as the backwater islands kissing the Indian Ocean.
