Dhanvantari, The God of Ayurveda
Explore the science of life
Over the last three decades I’ve been working, teaching and doing research in Alternative Health Care. Through my life experience I discovered the effectiveness of Ayurveda (literally meaning Science of Life), one of the most ancient health care systems, and spent many years traveling, taking intensive trainings, participating in apprenticeships, gathering experience and receiving this precious knowledge from respectable teachers.
I’ve been teaching the art of Ayurvedic healing at many schools and venues such as Massage Therapy Institute, Phillips School of Massage, Fair Oaks Massage Institute and many others.
I’m very happy to share this knowledge and help you discover this ancient, natural way of bringing physical and emotional health and harmony into your life.
