Seeking Balance at The Juhi Center

Fashion is far from a grounding industry, so it’s no wonder wellness trends have caught on quickly with designers, models and editors seeking the ever-evasive idea of balance. For the likes of Carine Roitfeld, Petra Nemcova, Winnie Harlow, Hannah Bronfman, Hannah Ferguson and more, their healer of choice is Juhi Singh, who offers all-around wellness at her Juhi Center in Manhattan, founded on the ayurvedic principles that saved her life. “I knew I wanted to be a doctor, from the age of four. But when I was 16, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis,” Singh says, from the Himalayan salt room of the center. “And, given that I had been born into this Eastern field of medicine, we did what most people do: went against the grain and went to Western medicine first. And for three and a half years, I went from doctor to doctor, looking for health, and it was just medication on top of medication.” At 19, her organs started to shut down and the doctor recommended a colostomy bag. “The last-ditch was where my mother called my aunt in India, who is a doctor, and she gave me acupuncture and put me on an ayurvedic diet.”
