Under re-construction… metaphorically speaking… more soon!

Rob’s Story: The idea to create the Himalayan Healers project crossed Rob’s mind while he was attending massage school. Near graduation, while sitting in a circle at class, each student was taking turns sharing their hopes for their future in massage. The inspiration to open the first professional massage school in Nepal – and to have it focus primarily upon returning the power of touch to “Untouchables” – came as a surprise to everyone, including Rob. Luckily, he followed his heart, began trading massages for frequent flier miles, gave away most of his “stuff”, and flew out to Nepal to start building the project from the ground up. Rob has worked on a voluntary basis for the past seven years, taking out personal loans, turning down employment opportunities in the States, and generating support from family and friends, to build this project.
