Philosophy
Gaya uses a holistic approach to wellness by encouraging her clients to practice Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Yoga, as well as referring them to other complementary forms of medicine. She teaches her patients to view balance and health as the “true nature” of their body and to understand that Chinese Medicine and alternative approaches simply guide the body towards balance. Traditional Asian Medicine and healing are not merely a profession, but a lifestyle that Gaya tries to fully embody.
