AYURVEDIC COUNSELING
Rafael Alvarado
Rafael is an Ayurvedic counselor, Yoga teacher and Reiki energy facilitator. His passion for health began at the age of 17 when he was introduced to and started practicing Yoga and embodying its philosophy. Fascinated by healing practices of cultures around the world he continued to explore and learn all that he could from books or workshops he could find.
As he continued his studies he came to meet a Reiki Master who instructed him in energy healing and initiated him into the lineage of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki.
Eventually he found a Yoga instructor that introduced him to the science of Ayurveda and Vedic Astrology. Inspired and motivated by this mentor he went to study Ayurveda at Kerala Ayurveda Academy and received his certification in Ayurvedic Health Counseling.
Rafael currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he enjoys making music and gardening in his spare time. He continues to pursue knowledge of health as he is currently studying Curanderismo, healing methods from his familial homeland of Mexico and South America.
