She was one of the pioneer parents and founding member for the Abhaya Waldorf School in Hyderabad. Lakshmi has worked for many years as a school physician, as well as traveling the length and breadth of India regularly teaching and inspiring new centers, clinics and schools working out of Anthroposophy.
