First, the basics: I’m male, 40 years old, born in South Asia, resident in Amsterdam.
I come from a family of traditional Ayurvedic practitioners. My grandfather was my first teacher, a renown Ayurvedic physician who had treated thousands of people over many decades until his death in 2002.
My academic background is in Psychology, in which I have a Masters, and I am a researcher and lecturer in Sociology. I have studied Buddhist philosophy and meditation techniques extensively—with months in retreat in remote hermitages—under the guidance of Buddhist teachers from Sri Lanka, India and Nepal. I’m passionate about Buddhist meditation, Tantra, Ayurveda, and how they can be brought together for making lives better.
I have a loyal clientele who appreciate my calm presence and the relaxing way I conduct my massages, and many of those clients have become my good friends.
