Diya which means “Light” in Hindi came to be out of the vision of the written word of Arti’s mom. When Arti’s mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in the winter of 2018, Arti began to focus on cancer support, wellness, nutrition and everything to help support her mom.
How Diya came to be?
Diya which means “Light” in Hindi came to be out of the vision of the written word of Arti’s mom. When Arti’s mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in the winter of 2018, Arti began to focus on cancer support, wellness, nutrition and everything to help support her mom. When Arti’s mom passed in the summer of 2019, Arti found her mom’s Bhagavad Gita, the Hindu scripture. There on a piece of paper, Arti found the life stages written down by whom she referred to as “Mummy”. Arti took a look and a few weeks later with her intuition, timing, and Reiki she realized that her mummy was calling to service the life stages through Diya Holistic Life Care and the rest is history in the creation..vision.. And mission. Arti realized in her grief journey she was called upon to do this work as a legacy project and tribute to her parents, ancestors, and those lives that she encounters. The Diya to Arti and team symbolizes being held to carry and light our lives up. Diya’s dedication comes from providing care to lead our best lives possible and to evolve in better health and wellness.
The Legacy of Life
Diya as a Legacy Project
Diya Holistic Life Care is Arti’s family of origin legacy project. A legacy project is something you create or an activity you do to honor the life of a loved one. With the passing of Arti’s mom and reflecting on her Papa’s death as well, Arti realized her purpose in life is to serve through the transitions of life. Arti realized that great success comes from being supported, heard, and validated and that is exactly what Diya was designed to do.
