Esther Gokhale
Esther Gokhale (‘Go-Clay’) has been involved in integrative therapies all her life. 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 and then acupuncture at the San Francisco School of Oriental Medicine. After experiencing crippling back pain during her first pregnancy and unsuccessful back surgery, Gokhale began her lifelong crusade to vanquish back pain. Her studies at the Aplomb Institute in Paris and years of research in Brazil, India, Portugal and elsewhere led her to develop her systematic approach to help people restore pain-free living. Gokhale's book, 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back, has sold over 75,000 copies in six languages. In May 2013, The New York Times gave her the title, “The Posture Guru of Silicon Valley”. Esther's Gokhale Method® continues to grow as qualified teachers now teach her method worldwide.
