About Gedalia
I began to practice hatha yoga in the late 1980s and soon after began practicing Siddha Yoga Meditation.
By turning “within” I was drawn to paint, and learn about holistic healing arts, and Ayurveda.
I studied for a Naturopathic degree, attended a four-year school, under the direction of Dr. Michael Mamas, to study energy healing and human consciousness, and then studied Ayurveda in New Mexico and India with Dr. Vasant Lad, the holistic health pioneer who first brought the ancient medical practice of Ayurveda from India to the West in the late 1970s. I became certified in Marma Point Therapy, Ayurveda’s energy healing modality.
For more than 15 years, I’ve helped women uncover new pathways to health and vitality by drawing on a wealth of holistic gems: Ayurveda, breathwork, meditation, essential oils, gemstones, nutritional advice, energy medicine, sound healing, and creativity.
I look forward to meeting you!
