MEET OUR OFFICE MANAGER

Hello! I’m Buddhika Jayawardena,
Operational Executive at Attunigrate, the home of integrative therapy in Detroit, Michigan. Originally from Sri Lanka, I bring a global perspective, warmth, and practical know-how to every step of your therapeutic experience.


My career spans hospitality, event management, and legal process outsourcing, where I built customer-support systems and staff-training programs. During the pandemic, I pivoted into insurance billing and collections for a leading U.S. laboratory client -- experience that now helps Attunigrate streamline claims with most major insurance plans and simplify private-pay options.

Today, I’m honored to apply that expertise to Attunigrate’s integrative therapy services across Michigan and beyond. My mission is to make your journey toward healing seamless, transparent, and fully supported. Let’s embark on this path together -- ensuring your focus remains on growth, self-discovery, and well-being.
