Dr. Marc Halpern (Dr. Shiva) President of the California College of Ayurveda.
“Ayurveda is a system of mind-body medicine that is inherently holistic and integrative. The goal of Ayurveda is to maximize the potential for healing within each individual. Where there is harmony there is health. Where there is disharmony, there is disease. By helping to restore harmony through the five senses, Ayurveda maximizes the potential for healing. The best Ayurvedic practitioners meet you where you are and guide you to where you want to be.
Gina is a gifted, caring, compassionate and inspired educator, practitioner and clinician of Ayurvedic Medicine. Both her patients and her students will be blessed by their interactions with her.”
