Help Erika Complete Her Required Clinical Residency

I'm in the final six months of my Bachelor's degree in Ayurvedic Wellness and Integrative Health with a minor in Life and Wellness Coaching at Maharishi International University, and I've maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA throughout my studies. But I need your help to complete a critical requirement.

Why I Need Your Support

From February 8-20, 2026, I must complete a mandatory two-week in-person clinical residency in Iowa. This hands-on clinical experience is a non-negotiable requirement for my degree, and without it, I cannot graduate—no matter how well I've performed in my coursework.

The challenge? I need to cover all travel expenses from California to Iowa, including:

• Round-trip flights or transportation

• Rental car for two weeks

• Gas

• Lodging

• Meals

As a full-time student who has worked incredibly hard to maintain academic excellence, these travel costs are a significant financial barrier standing between me and graduation.

My Journey

I came to Ayurvedic medicine after experiencing persistent health challenges that conventional approaches couldn't resolve. That personal transformation ignited a passion to help others find their path to wellness. Over the past several years, I've immersed myself in evidence-based integrative health practices, consciousness studies, and coaching methodologies—all while maintaining perfect grades and building real-world experience.

I'm ready to serve my community. I just need to complete these essential clinical hours.

How Your Support Helps

Every contribution brings me closer to fulfilling this graduation requirement and becoming a certified Ayurvedic health practitioner and wellness coach. Your support means I can focus on learning and providing excellent client care during these crucial two weeks rather than worrying about how to afford this required experience.

Once I complete my degree this year, I'll be able to help others reclaim their health, find their voice, and experience genuine transformation—just as I have.

Thank You

I'm deeply grateful for any support you can offer, whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign. This clinical residency is the final hands-on component of years of dedication, and your help will make it possible for me to complete this requirement and finish my degree.

With gratitude, Erika
