Gedalia Genin PhD.
Hi, I’m Gedalia.
I began to practice hatha yoga in the late 1980s looking for something “deeper” in my life. Shortly after that, I discovered meditation. By turning “within” I was drawn to paint, and learn about holistic healing arts, and Ayurveda. It was the beginning of a new direction in my life.
I studied for a Naturopathic degree, and attended a four-year school, under the direction of Dr. Michael Mamas, where I studied energy healing and human consciousness. I continued my studies of 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.
These experiences changed my perception of myself and the world around me. My inner strength and intuition came to light along with a transformation of my health and well-being. I look forward to sharing these pathways with you.
i’m excited that you’re here!
