From a young age, Gaiya has been introduced to cranial therapy and full body acupressure therapies from her father. Her father, Mr Balasundram, has been a therapist for the past 30 years specializing in Ayurvedic and Acupressure treatments. This lead to Gaiya’s growing interest and passion in this field. Till date, gaiyathri has gathered 25yrs of experience.
Through the years of assisting her father, she began to witness the wonders and extensive benefits of such natural treatments. In order to further her knowledge and expertise in this area, Gaiya went to Kerala to get professionally certified. Why Kerala? Kerala is renowned for being the land of medicine thus being the best place to learn more about Ayurveda - harmony of body, mind and soul.
