Dr Manika has changed my life. I was having stomach issues for years that resulted in bloating, stomach cramps and gas. After trying course after course of antibiotics with no results, my wife persuaded me to try Ayurveda. I saw results a week after seeing Dr Manika and was almost back to normal within a month. Dr Manika opened my eyes and made me realize that my problems were caused by stress. Instead of just being fed pills by western doctors with no questions asked, Manika sat down and listened to my problems and talked them through with me. Then through a simple regime of changing my diet, mindful techniques, and making me realize that my problem was stress related, she changed my life in a matter of weeks. Something that western medicine hadn't been able to do in years. Dr Manika is such a lovely, thoughtful and caring person. She really listens to you and feels as much of a therapist as she does a doctor. If you are having any sort of trouble, I guarantee Dr Manika can help. I highly recommend her. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Manika for several years now and I couldn't imagine my healing journey without her. Dr. Manika is caring, empathetic, mindful, wise and incredibly intelligent. She has a calm and soothing nature and a comforting voice. She is dedicated to doctoring and has the utmost care and concern for her patients. She is a rare find. I would like to say she is one of my Angels in medicine. She is accepting of who I am and where I am on my healing path. It is my wish/prayer that more doctors adopted her caring ways and approach to patients. I tell her often that I appreciate her. I truly do. I have so much respect for her time and wisdom. It's so important to feel heard and to feel safe and I get both with Dr. Manika. She is incredibly gracious and mindful in her practice. read more

Dr. Manika has been an incredible light in my life. I have been seeing here for a couple a few months now and feel like I found the perfect match for me. I have been to other doctors and have not had that connection like I have with Dr Manika, it feels right. I've learned so much from her already and have changed my mindset in many ways with her help. She has given me easily manageable practices to implement in my everyday life. Manika is calming, extremely knowledgeable, and I feel no judgement when speaking about my healing journey. She is not a one size fits all doctor and takes the time to understand her patients. Truly so grateful for her! I know I will be with her for years to come and cannot recommend her enough. read more

Dr. Manika by far is one of the best Doctors who I know. She helped my daughter throughout her recovery after her accident. Her methods are unique and very helpful. My daughter dealt with lots of ups and downs due to her Brian injury. Dr. Manika helped her Tremendously in last year and half. She has been an angel in our life. We can not thank her enough. GD bless you Dr. Manika. read more

It is rare to meet people who are so dedicated to their craft that truly love helping other people. Dr. Manika is an amazing doctor who has had such a positive impact on me. Instead of taking things away from my life to help address my needs she only added things to make life more enjoyable. The changes she brought to my life were very simple adjustments to my lifestyle that had such a profound effect on my health. I've never felt healthier in my mind, body, or soul and I'm truly grateful for that. Instead of treating a disease, illness, or injury, she treats you, the person, and offers guidance that I have never received from a healthcare provider before. Anyone that goes in to see her will always feel better when they leave. Thank you so much Dr. Manika read more

After many years without them, I started getting migraines again and this time more painful and more consistently than ever. I hit a personal record when A migraine attack lasted 15 days straight. This as well as some of my other symptoms had officially bumped me into the statistic of "chronic migraine" sufferers. I reviewed my options and was disappointed to see that in the 5 years since my last chronic attacks there really hadn't been any new ways Western medicine had found to treat and help migraine attacks. Everything was geared toward "pain management". There was obviously an underlying problem causing this, and numbing the pain wouldn't resolve the cause. I refused the intense pharmaceutical medication options being thrown at me and set out to find alternative treatments. My search led me to Dr. Manika and my, was I blessed! Even though I'm young, active, fit, healthy, and eat very consciously... apparently everything I was eating and even times of day was completely off for my dosha type + my condition. My custom smoothies, the morning tonics, even the organic probiotic yogurts were all aggravating my migraine attacks and not what my body system needed to feel nourished. She drastically changed my eating habits and even some lifestyle with the breathing exercises and basic yoga. The herbs she prescribed were straight magic. Before finding Dr. Manika I was definitely affecting my liver with the amount of ibuprofen in my system. I had gotten to a point where I was unable to function or leave the house without taking a 500 mg in the morning. Every morning. For 3 weeks straight. Not cool. Within 1 week of taking the herbs as prescribed, I was off ibuprofen and excedrin completely. And noticed if I'd miss it for even one meal, the pain would start easing in again. They were definitely working. Months later, my migraines are a thing of the past. My diet's been changed for good and even instilled some of the lifestyle and breathing exercises into my daily practice. I can't recommend Dr. Manika enough. There are a number of Ayurvedic "practitioners" in LA, but it's a rare thing to get to see a an Ayurvedic DOCTOR raised and trained in India, coming from an Ayurvedic and Medical Yoga family, with experience of training and working in Ayurvedic hospitals back home. It's a real treat to be seen by her. If you're on an alternative doctor and/or Ayurvedic search, look no further. read more

Ive known Dr. Manika for 2+years. After my motor cycle wreck, I was blessed to show up at Dr Singh's office where i met my new angel, Dr. Manika. She has helped me through so much, I give her so many props for dealing with me, let alone other brain injury patients. She is a true blessing! read more

Dr. Manika is amazing! I've been having issue for YEARS. I went to see a western doctor, a Natropathic and finally to see Dr. Manika. Neither doctor could tell me what was wrong. She was able to help diagnose what was going on and I'm finally more grounded, energized and everyday wellness. read more

After years of chronic joint pain, the only options available to me were more surgery or more medication, so I began looking for an alternative to western treatment modalities. I first found Dr. Manika on yelp and then made my way to her website. It was there that I learned about her rich academic background, as well as her comprehensive approach to healing. And once I discovered that she is also a therapeutic yoga practitioner, I swiftly booked my first appointment. I have been seeing Dr. Manika for almost two months now, and I am definitely making progress. She made it clear to me that results do require a commitment to well being and will, in fact, take some time. Upon gathering an initial understanding of basic Ayurvedic principles, I am comfortable with a more deliberate pace. Dr. Manika is a very special person. I know this because I have been sick most of my life; and in this time I have received treatment from a great number of doctors and health care providers, most of whom leave me feeling either rushed, disregarded, or misunderstood -- and often times a combination of all three. This, in turn, has caused me to loathe the process of seeking out health care. There were times when I would resolve to just live with the pain in order to avoid the grueling process of trying to find someone who could help me. But Dr. Manika is different. She possesses the unique combination of knowledge and humility, which is really quite rare. And I'll admit: humility is extremely important to me. The last thing I want to do is reveal my needs and vulnerabilities to a person without a handle on his or her ego. No thank you. Lastly, it is also worth mentioning that Dr. Manika is both welcoming and patient. She really wants to help, and has gone out of her way to accommodate me in any and every way she can. Highly recommended! read more

I have spent the last 15 years working with some type of healing modality that would ease my intense symptoms of anxiety, fear, menopause, muscular pains, digestive issues, and all the symptoms that accompany these challenges. By the time I got to Dr. Manika, I was pretty much about to just accept that these emotional and physical pains would just remain a part of my life and I would continue to just alternatively ease the symptoms with what I had been taught over the years with various healing modalities. I have worked with my mind body and spirit with a number of alternative teachers and practitioners over the years. She is sincerely the most thorough, intelligent (both emotionally and intellectually!!!) caring and kind practitioner. She takes the loving time getting to know the depth of who you are and gets to the core of the issue...that includes the emotional and physical sides so that you can heal as a whole. I have NEVER undergone such a well encompassed 'investigation' into the depth of the body and mind combined to get to the absolute core healing. She is like 3 practitioners wrapped into one beautiful package! Aryuvedic Doctor-Yoga Teacher-and Therapist! I am seeing results now that have brought me so much hope and inspiration and I can't wait to keep seeing the improvements and moving forward with Dr Manika. UPDATE: Ok, so I was reading all this that I wrote above a couple years ago, and honestly, I had to really take a BIG moment of Gratitude. It's super easy to express at the time, how your body and mind feels when you have felt miserable for such a long time. But once you start feeling better, its hard to put into words what you truly were experiencing. I had to re-read the line I wrote 'intense symptoms of anxiety, fear, menopause, muscular pains....etc' over a few times to really humbly remember how long this overall journey has been and knowing that now, in what I feel has been a 'short' time ....I am 'free' of the majority of those challenges because of the work with Dr.Manika. What symptoms I do have remaining are so easily manageable, and now that she has moved me thru the 'heavy lifting'... the work is fun (yes...fun...am I really saying that?!)..It's explorative and freeing, and simply continues to be a beautiful journey of growth and awareness. She will truly help heal and move you thru all you need. :):):). read more

Dr. Manika has helped me find inner balance, something I never knew I was even missing. Over the past 2 years, she has helped me learn to relax for the first time in my life, and has been basically my mind, body and soul therapist (ESPECIALLY helpful during lockdown right now). Her wisdom, insights, and breathing techniques have truly impacted my everyday life, and I couldn't be more grateful. She has a grounding and reassuring way about her that you just can't help but relax and open up to new ways of looking at your life and daily stressors. I've learned the power of breathing and staying balanced and have applied it to so many aspects of my life. Thanks to Dr. Manika, after a year on disability, I was able to go back to work full-time and have truly come out the other end of the darkest period of my life stronger than ever. Thank you, Dr. Manika! read more

Dr. Manika is the best! I started working with her as a means to address the symptoms of my narcolepsy. She is very knowledgeable in yoga & meditation practices, and is a great teacher as well! read more

Dr Manika is gentle and caring. Her kindness makes patients feel comfortable. Her ability to promote healing is the best.

I've been wanting a holistic practitioner in LA, and I'm so pleased I found Dr. Manika. She's warm, generous and incredibly knowledgeable. From my experience, women's issues-she's the one if this is you. I have had a slew of problems since I had my daughter 6 years ago. I had made some progress working with my holistic practitioners back home, but I don't live there. Dr. Manika has been the key that was missing! I have had leaky gut, toxins galore, joint pain, sleep issues, hair loss, mal absorption, lack of energy and focus, major weight gain, depression, I mean, you name it. I have been seeing her and following her guidance and regimen for 8 months and I have healed so much. She's also helped me make new habits and to look at my life as a whole. I feel wonderful. It's truly a wholistic approach and tried and true. Ayurvedic medicine isn't a fast pill, but it will heal you! read more

I began working with Dr. Manika a couple of months ago because of concerns with hair loss and stomach issues. Dr. Manika has been so amazing with really getting to know me and my body. Unlike other people in the medical profession, she actually listened and asked questions. After my first visit I knew I was in good hands. She also worked with me and my financial constraints which really helped to alleviate some stress that I was experiencing. Thank you so much, Dr. Manika! read more

After a number of years without them, my migraines came back, I also had pain, stiffness in various places (joints, muscles) to the point that it was affecting my life. Tired of traditional doctors visits, I felt that I had to be taken care of as a whole human being, not just aching body parts. Taking pain killers or anti inflammatory is only going to numb the pain but not cure the cause. I came to Dr. Manika after several unsatisfactory phone conversations with Ayurveda "practitioners". Her voice immediately made me feel at ease and what she said made sense to me. I've been seeing her for 6 months, my symptoms are gone. She has me a herbal supplement treatment that works really well and the therapeutic yoga has been a blessing. She takes care of my body and of my soul. "Wholesome Well Being" is exactly what she provides, with compassion and love. She is also a medical doctor, very competent, knowledgeable and she really cares about her patients. I wish everybody I care for could go see her and benefit from her care. Thank you Dr. Manika! read more

I don't know where to start from. This lady has helped me when I needed it the most. She listens to her patients, understands their circumstances and their situation and provide the therapy accordingly. Besides being a great doctor she is also a very helpful person who can go out of the way to help anyone. She knows her job well and is an expert of it. Having her as my therapist is indeed a great blessing. read more

Dr. Manika, through authentic yoga and empathetic energy, helped me to live a better life. My body hurt in so many ways when I retired from the National Football League, after a grueling 8-yr career... Her holistic strategy teaches me how to heal myself-mind, body, and spirit. read more

Dr. Manika is one of the most capable and kind health practitioners I have ever met. I have seen other Ayurvedic doctors, but none as comprehensive and thorough as her. I have had a chronic illness for the past 7 years and have tried many different treatments and seen many different doctors, so I can tell when I meet someone that really knows their stuff. After my consultation, she sent over a detailed and personalized list of (totally doable) foods, exercises, and meditations to incorporate into my day-to-day. She is always available via text or email for any questions I might have regarding exercises or recipes and ACTUALLY responds. It's truly a joy to practice all that she suggests.I have noticed a tremendous difference, not only in my energy level but also in my commitment to my own health. Never have I ever felt so in tune with the unique needs of my body, and for the first time I finally have enough energy and support to actually listen to it. read more

Dr. Manika Yadav is an amazing Ayurveda and Therapeutic Yoga specialist. I highly recommend viewing her website to see her bio, gain a better understanding of Ayurvedic Medicine, and to see her deeply comprehensive and expansive approach to treating her patients and clients: http://www.wellnessessentials.us/Home/. When you meet her you will know what I'm talking about. Not only does she make you feel completely at ease, cared for and understood, but she brings a great deal of personal and intellectual integrity with intense academic study of over 8 years in Ayurveda Medicine (a healing science that goes back over 4000 years B.C.) from one of the finest and most respected Universities in India. When she takes an assessment of your condition, she looks at you completely and thoroughly - your health condition, your lifestyle, your mental, and emotional state. Through the beautifully detailed and complex lens of Ayurveda, Dr. Yadav designs a very comprehensive healing plan for all her patients. My plan covered so many different elements including, diet, daily spiritual practices, and therapeutic yoga exercises very specifically designed for my condition. We treated my debilitating daily chronic migraines, my depression, anxiety and even fertility issues. The plan she prescribed requires implementation, so it is very important to realize this. Many people want a quick fix understandably which unfortunately is usually just a temporary bandage. Dr. Manika Yadav (and those she works alongside with) care enough to look at the whole picture of your condition which sadly seems a bit rare these days with the state of healthcare; time and financial limitations put most physicians on the spot of having to move quickly and efficiently at no fault of their own. If you implement her plan, you will see results! Dr. Yadav, works alongside the most accomplished and vetted physicians and specialists at the Beverly Hills Premier Neurology and Sanare Sanctuary established and run by Dr. Ravinder Singh, M.D., a renowned Neurologist, specializing in the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders and Author of, "Not Tonight I have a Headache: Understanding Headache and Eliminating it From Your Life" (see Amazon and local bookstores: https://www.amazon.com/Not-Tonight-Have-Headache-Understanding/dp/1630473634 ). Dr. Manika Yadav got me through a very difficult time in my life and taught me so much about putting my health back in my own hands. I highly recommend seeing her! read more

I currently have a lot of different h although challenges - one health challenge that has really concerned me was a blood clot. I had started seeing Manika, but became very comfortable and wasn't practicing being disciplined for my health, and slowly stopped seeing Manika for a couple of months. That was when I discovered that I had a blood clot. I decided I needed to get back to my health regimen, which meant seeing Manika. I absolutely love her technique and the connection I have with her. She really gives me undivided attention and I definitely feel healing energy every time I practice therapeutic yoga with her. Once I began to see Manika on a consistent basis, I had a check-up on by blood clot and had come to find that it had reduced in size. I wasn't doing anything different, besides coming to see Manika. I know the breathing exercises and the therapeutic yoga I was receiving from her was the reason my clot had decreased. She gives me hope that I can heal from my health challenges. I personally know I can, but she just gives me that extra support I need. read more
