Integrating guided Marma therapy with awareness deepens healing. Learn how to apply the discerning wisdom of Ayurveda without descending into judgment or criticism of your clients or yourself. Build confidence in your ability to hold healthy boundaries & work appropriately with clients' resources, with guided Marma therapy.
