As a young girl growing up in India, she helped her mother, a nurse, treat abandoned babies waiting to be adopted. This early interest in healing led her to study biochemistry at Harvard and Princeton Universities and, later, acupuncture at the San Francisco School of Oriental Medicine. After crippling back pain during her first pregnancy and unsuccessful back surgery, her studies at the Aplomb(R) Institute in Paris and years of research in Brazil, India, Portugal, and elsewhere led her to develop the Gokhale Method. Her lifelong mission is to make back pain rare again.
