hi. i’m gedalia

I struggled with chronic fatigue, back pain, and other health issues many years ago. I was in pain and seeking answers. Allopathic medicine was only able to prescribe medication for depression and more pills to alleviate my back pain. A chiropractor suggested I learn to practice yoga. It was the first step in the right direction. I also received energy and sound healing, while using essential oils for my pain. Soon after I was drawn to meditation which surprisingly led me to explore my inner artist ( see my art below). I began to paint and allowed the colors and creative process to bring about healing. I found Ayurveda and incorporated a healthy diet, herbs, and nurturing daily rituals. This new path transformed my energy and vitality. It felt as if I had come home to myself. I decided to learn more.

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. I also continue my practice of Siddha Yoga Meditation today.

These experiences changed my perception of myself and the world around me. I began to have more energy, purpose, and a holistic path of self-care that to this day I truly enjoy.

I look forward to sharing these pathways with you!

I’m excited that you’re here!
