Our Founders

Jo & Erik Tandberg

A physicist and an Ayurveda counselor meet for tea.

Vedazon began with a conversation between two people trained to notice different things.

Why Vedazon Exists

What is Vedazon?

Vedazon exists at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science.

Ayurveda helps us understand the individual. Neuroscience helps us observe attention, sensory response and state. Lived experience keeps the person in the centre.

These remain distinct disciplines. Vedazon brings them into thoughtful conversation, using each for what it can honestly offer.

Two Vocabularies

Two separate voices.

Jo works in the language of Ayurveda. Erik works in the language of physics and modern science.

Vedazon keeps both intact while making room for a shared human question: what helps us notice more clearly?


01

Vata

Movement and variability. What comes and goes, speeds up and scatters.

02

Pitta

Transformation and intensity. What burns through, sharpens and digests.

03

Kapha

Steadiness and accumulation. What holds, settles and gathers weight.

A Bridge Between Worlds

Jo’s fascination with understanding the unseen began with a microscope she received as a child. That early curiosity eventually led her toward natural healing, Ayurveda, yoga and a lifelong exploration of how people find balance and wellbeing.

Her path into wellness began in the early 1990s following a life-changing health diagnosis. What initially felt like a disruption became an invitation to explore a different relationship with health, resilience and healing.

Over the past two decades, Jo has taught yoga, guided Ayurveda wellness programs, led international retreats and helped hundreds of clients understand their own constitutions and patterns.

The Space Between

Two vocabularies. Two separate voices.

Where Jo brings the language of Ayurveda, Erik brings the physicist’s eye. Vedazon does not use one to prove the other. Each is given its proper place.

The Physics Behind the Practice

A physicist, technologist, photographer and lifelong student of light, Erik has spent more than three decades exploring how invisible forces shape the world around us.

His career spans national laboratories, advanced optical systems, semiconductor technology, machine learning and AI. Along the way he led teams of scientists, published research, secured patents and helped develop technologies operating at the frontiers of precision measurement.

How do we experience reality?

That question eventually led him to pulsed light and sound—tools that can shape the sensory environment and may influence what a person notices or experiences. At Vedazon, Erik’s role is to keep the technology precise, bounded and secondary to the person.

The Approach

Different languages. One human experience.

Ayurveda may inform how we listen and understand the person. Neuroscience offers another kind of observation. NeuroVeda provides a carefully considered light-and-sound experience. Your response remains information, not a promised transformation.

The Boundary

No formula.

No assessment.

No claim that one discipline proves another.
