Douglas de Becker offers an approach to chronic health conditions and issues, in a personalized style with a focus on finding the underlying imbalances or root causes, rather than just treating the symptoms. He provides a wellness consultation through adherence to the traditional system of Sowa Rigpa (translated as “Science of Healing"). Sowa Rigpa (Traditional Tibetan Medicine), is recognized by the World Health Organization as a legitimate and effective indigenous healing art. With dietary and lifestyle advice, along with internal and external therapies and remedies, this is a holistic system designed to bring real balance to body, mind, and spirit. 

When working with Douglas, you’ll be supported in your healing by the wisdom of holistic remedies, with roots tracing back thousands of years ago. This ancient healing way has emerged from the medical traditions of Tibet, Mongolia, Chinese Medicine, Unani (Greek Medicine), Siddha Medicine (an indigenous healing system from South India) and Ayurveda. 

Under the guidance of Douglas de Becker, this integrative healing approach, is based on the following:

• A complementary and inclusive variety of treatment modalities

• A holistically oriented focus on mind, body and spirit

• A focus on optimal health – not just the absence of symptoms or dis-ease

• Requiring the patient to take an active role in health creation

• Acknowledging the complexity of health situations, and therefore taking a multi-dimensional approach

• A preference for natural, non-toxic remedies – harnessing the body’s ability to heal itself

Douglas de Becker studied at University of Nevada for almost 10 years, guided by his focus of holistic medicine. Being discontent with the academic curriculum, he then sought the knowledge of indigenous medicine traditions from around the world including India, China, Nepal, and Tibet. This resulted in unique insights into the truth of healing, in dedication to perennial wisdom. 

He has been certified in Craniosacral therapy at Eselyn. Douglas deepened his knowledge of  Ayurveda working as a yoga teacher and therapist at the Growing Edge in  Big Sur, CA. He received a certificate of 500 hour study from National Institute of  Ayurvedic Medicine in 1998, and studied Pancha Karma under Dr Vishundas Kannan of Kerala, India in 2004. In 2010 he began his formal studies in Sowa Rigpa and immediately began replacing many Naturopathic approaches he was utilizing in his clinics, with the traditional remedial measures of Sowa Rigpa. In the summers of 2013 and 2014 Gunasilan studied and practiced external therapies of Sowa Rigpa in Amdo, Tibet at a  famous all Sowa Rigpa Hospital in Malo, under the direction of his  primary teacher Dr. Nida Chenagtsang. His  thorough knowledge of various modern alternative healing modalities allows him to understand his clients' journeys of healing and wellness, and offer them practical advice accordingly.
