Renee Rivera is the founder of Chitta Happens. She is a graduate of the Ayurvedic Institute of America, and has studied under several different masters, including world renowned Ayurvedic physician Dr. Vasant Lad, Sri Swamini Mayatitananda, and Sri Swami Dayananda.


She is also a teacher of Primordial Sound Meditation and Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga, both certifications awarded at the Chopra Center for Wellness in Carlsbad, California.

Before embarking on her career as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Renee worked for many years as a Registered Nurse in Home Health care.  She has assisted thousands of people dealing with conditions ranging from surgical wounds to end-stage cancer. Her experience as a nurse has developed her ability to appreciate and connect with people from all walks of life.

Ayurveda, awakened Renee to a whole realm of more gentle and more effective approaches to health than the allopathic western world. She decided to follow her heart’s desire to create a healing center that would radiate the wisdom and power of Ayurveda. Thus Chitta Happens was born.

"Renee Rivera is a wonderful and dedicated instructor of Wise Earth Ayurveda's unique Inner Medicine teachings. She brings years of experience and competence in the health field along with her deep ancestral grace and inimitable sense of harmony to this invaluable work."
