About Me

Heal and Restore in India Award winning retreats cover all disciplines of mindfulness from luxury spa experiences to Ayurveda and Naturopathic medical tourism to Yoga.Rejuvenate mind, body, and soul in India the birthplace of Yoga. Centuries old holistic healing secrets coupled with breathtaking nature experiences from the Himalayas to coastal Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Goa. India. Offerings range from detox, preventative, fitness, stress management to a various styles of Yoga. India is truly the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to travel. There is perhaps no destination that can boast of a greater diversity of experiences. The months I’ve spent traveling here have only ever left me craving more. I am always thrilled for the chance to share my love of this country with others! Home to nearly a fifth of humanity, the opportunities to explore culture here are truly endless. I think it serves the prospective traveler well to consider that what is now modern India was home to more than 500 Princely States, each with their own rich tapestry of unique histories, customs, and beliefs. In that sense India is in many ways as if all of Europe were one country. India can be overwhelming to approach for first time and repeat travelers alike, and that’s where I can really help you make the most of your experience. Are you interested in the history and architecture of India? Let me connect you with the most knowledgeable guides to get you into the places you would never normally see, from the back rooms of Rajasthani palaces in Jaipur, Jaisalmer or Jodhpur to lesser known temples like Ranakpur or the ancient ruins of Chittorgarh.Interested in the spiritual sites? You are truly spoiled for choices. At some 5,000 years old, Varanasi is the longest continuously inhabited city in South Asia. Not only is it the holiest city in all Hinduism, held to have been founded by Lord Shiva, it is also the site of the Buddha’s first sermon. Amritsar is the heart of Sikhism, while Rishikesh is the origin of the westward expansion of yoga, and Dharamsala serves as the home of the Dalai Llama in exile. Interested in India’s incredible nature and wildlife? With massive mountains, sprawling deserts, and lush tropical forests India is overflowing with natural riches. I have extensively toured scores of India’s most incredible national parks, where I’ve been lucky enough to see dozens of tigers in the wild, to say nothing of leopards, sloth bears, gaurs, and even hyenas. Let me help you find the best parks for what you’re after, at the best times, with the best guides.Want to stay in the finest properties, fit for a Raj? I am familiar firsthand with dozens of incredible Palaces, Luxury Camps, Boutique properties and lesser known gems across the subcontinent. Stay in the same rooms as royalty, or in places they’d never have known to go. Spoil yourself in some of the top rated hotels on Earth, and discover just what world class service can be!

Best Trip Ever because of Blake
Reviewed By Bernard L - Plano, Tx. | Traveled to California ~ USA
Blake was with us the entire trip from the beginning till I walked back in my house. He was so kind and caring about our trip. He got us all sort of amenities such as early check in and late check out, champagne in our hotel, breakfast daily and extra nights for free. I am planning my next trip to Europe and I will be using him definitely. Thank you Blake
