Veda Integrated Wellness: Pranjali Sharma

“I help people with getting their best health holistically.” 

Pranjali Sharma’s background in naturopathic care and health consulting made the decision to found Veda Integrated Wellness a no-brainer. Holistic care is a positive growth industry, and she wanted to contribute to it by channeling her passion for helping others find balance and harmony within themselves to achieve optimal wellness and improve their overall quality of life. Identifying and treating the root causes of health issues rather than only treating symptoms provides a satisfaction that is hard to top as a client’s wellness steadily improves. 

There are a variety of reasons clients seek alternative care options—chronic health conditions, health-conscious individuals, those experiencing stress and burnout, women’s health issues and more. Often, they have tried conventional methods without success and are looking for a holistic and integrated approach for their overall wellness. 

“We have created a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment for our clients to ensure that they feel comfortable working with us to improve their health. We actively listen to their needs, promptly address any questions or concerns, and go above and beyond to exceed their expectations,” states Sharma. “We also work tirelessly with them through encouragement and education to maintain their health initiatives and prevent any future health problems that may arise.”  

The center’s team uses a comprehensive approach to health and wellness, addressing physical, mental and emotional aspects of well-being. Natural and alternative therapies are prioritized in crafting a personalized solution tailored to the client’s needs with a strong emphasis on preventive care and promoting overall balance and harmony in life. 

Shares Sharma, “Our mission is to provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to health care focusing on well-being of mind, body and soul. We aim to empower individuals to take control of their health through  a holistic and integrated approach, combining traditional and alternative therapies. By promoting balance and harmony within the individual, we strive to enhance overall quality of life and promote long-term wellness.”

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
