Took her over a week to respond to my emails. Once we actually spoke, she told me that seeing her would NOT be a problem. She advised me that she would be sending me some paperwork to sign but she never sent me anything. I emailed her.several times regarding her failure but she never responded via email or phone. I reached out several more times before I just gave up on her in my last email. Seems like she just didn't care. I still don't know if she fell of the planet, died, retired, or simply ignored me. Either way, I would NOT waste my time or well-being with her.

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.

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.

Wow! I've been seeing Dr. Manika for two year now. Oh how time has flown by. When I first starting seeing her I was extremely depressed, fatigued to the point of not being able to getting out of bed. At times not even being able to work. I was pale and looked lifeless. My good friend Travis had referred me to her- now they work together! I am a completely entire person from the first time seeing her and I am so eternally grateful for her and Ayurveda. I HIGHLY recommend going to see her! Worth every penny

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!

I've been seeing Dr. Manika for several years now and I couldn't imagine my healing journey without her. Dr. Manika is extremely intelligent, wise, caring, professional, calming and mindful. She has a calm nature and her voice is so comforting. 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 the medical profession. She has been accepting of who I am and where I am on my healing path. It is my wish or prayer that more doctors conducted their relations with patients on this level. I tell her often that I appreciate her so much. I just don't know how this healing journey would be without her. I have much respect for Dr. Manika.

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. :):):).

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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!
