Integrative Experience

  • Douglas has a wide scope of  practical and clinical experience with different natural remedies and alternative holistic healing..  He has experience in  modalities from Radionics, Reiki, "Soul retrieval", raw food / juicing,  fasting , bioterrain analysis, Craniosacral Therapy and Live-blood  analysis/observation, to Acupuncture, Ayurveda and Tibetan Medicine.  He has  apprenticed in the clinics of physical therapists, master Nutritionists, Acupuncturists, and doctors of Unani, Siddha, Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine(Sowa  Rigpa) .  He spent 7 years living and travelling in South America, Asia and the far East.  His studies have taken him through Europe, India, Indonesia, Nepal and parts of China that were once the country of Tibet.
  • In  addition to his general practice he operates free clinics for persons  that are economically challenged, and gives public presentations on the  history and basic foundations of Sowa Rigpa.

Tibetan Medicine practitioner

Douglas  studied at University level as a Biology major in the early 1990's for  almost 4 years.   Being discontent with the  curriculum, he  continued studying at the University for several more  years, though it was always with the focus from many different  healing modalities that he studied.  In the late 1990's he began  practicing UL Craniosacral therapy, and deepened his knowledge of  Ayurveda working as a yoga teacher and therapist at the Growing Edge in  Big Sur, CA.  He first visited India, China, Nepal and Tibet in 1991.   He received 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.

Why Choose Sowa Rigpa?

After almost two decades of study in both modern alternative healing,  and indigenous healing arts, Gunasilan decided to focus his studies in  Sowa Rigpa.   Why?    

More  than 1,000 years ago, Sowa Rigpa, known as the "Sages Medicine System",  fused the best of the indigenous  medicine systems in Europe, the Middle East and Asia at a time when they were strong and in tact:  

*Unani , an ancient Greek and Persian medicine system originating through ancient Egypt, *Chinese Medicine,*Siddha Medicine of the ancient southern Indian Dravidian Culture, *Ayurveda, from ancient Vedic India and the folk healing traditions of the Tibetan plateau.  

      Refined over many generations through powerful spiritual masters of  medicine and yoga, Sowa Rigpa became an effective holistic system for  both body and mind.  Utilizing dietary and lifestyle  recommendations, complex purifications of plants and minerals compounded  in highly specialized processes, as well as a variety of external  therapies to balance body energy, and restore physical and psychological  balance, Sowa Rigpa integrates the best of ancient traditions and  delivers efficient results.['/o
