As a child growing up in Mumbai, India, Jasmine would often ask questions about why some children lived in such dire poverty and she didn’t—she was always trying to make sense of the puzzle of life. Her journey of self-reflection fueled her studies in holistic medicine and life coaching. Her exploration led her to ask the basic question: “who am I?” This question then translated into the title of her first children’s book, Who Am I?, that presents simple concepts for children, and adults too, to better understand themselves and their connection to the world around them.

She currently lives in Vancouver, Canada, with her husband and two children, where she works as an award-winning realtor and continues to sing and perform.
