Shamkara Lescault, PhD

Before embarking on the path of healing, Dr. Shamkara had an ordinary upbringing in rural Maine. Unsatisfied, he sought out more than his standard education taught him; he wished to discover the true purpose of human life. Through auspicious circumstances, his search led him to a unique residential healing program in the ancient Indian tradition in the mountains of western Maine. Here, he was chosen to enter into a personal mentorship with a renowned healing master. 

Dr. Shamkara’s studies resulted in a PhD in Natural Health Education, a healing modality composed of ancient wisdom. He is now certified as a Gourmet Vegan Chef, cooking for hundreds at a prolific retreat center; a Martial Arts and Fitness instructor trained in the lost art of Pahalwani; a Yoga Acharya (teacher) in the ancient, unbroken lineage of VaShi Yoga; and a Yoga Psychologist with an effective and compassionate approach to mental health. Through immersive study and practice, every skill was forged as a passionate expression of his wish to be of real benefit to all beings.

Eager to share his rare and exceptional knowledge with his clients, Dr. Shamkara offers lectures, classes, retreats, presentations, event cheffing, and consultations. He now has an active healing practice in Farmington, Maine where he specializes in helping clients reverse both acute and chronic conditions to thrive in abundant, radiant health.
