Aithein People

As the co-founder of Aithein Healing School. Gagori is a highly experienced and Ayurveda and Bodywork expert. For her, the connection of the body, its senses, mind and soul is a way of life. She imparts her knowledge and philosophy with a deep understanding and through her personal experience over the years.

Gagori’s first introduction to massage was when she was six. In order to break the habit of bed-wetting, her father referred to a Marma therapy book, which described various pressure points of the body. Over the next two months, he applied the practices taught in the book and the problem ceased within two months. When she grew older, she would massage her father’s feet and shoulders. Although Gagori did it out of fun, her father realized her ability to heal people through her hands. It was the same with her mother and sister, who suffered from severe headaches. She would easily cure them by pressing a few points on their forehead for 10-15 minutes.

Gagori’s knowledge comes from her mother who taught her about Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle. Gagori’s mother learnt it from her Mother. The knowledge of Ayurveda has been passed down from generations in her family.

While pursuing her HR studies, Gagori’s friend, Aditi commented on her ‘gift’ after receiving a massage that cured her headache. After entering and then leaving a multi-national organization, she joined and completed 300 hours of Professional Bodywork Therapy course. Through this course, Gagori realized the deep connections between the body and mind and was able to reflect on the cause and effect of health and diseases on our daily lifestyle. She received a rich experience, from the science of the human anatomy to the art of touch and healing.

Gagori still continues to be a student, as she studies under her Guru Choyin Dorje. Born in a Hindu family she follows the Buddhist tradition, lineage and spiritual practices. Mostly all her knowledge comes from following the ancient tradition of Guru-Shisya Parampara.

Over the years, Gagori gathered many achievements and accolades, some of them includes:
