Rati became interested in subtle ways of treating the whole person, during her training in Somatic Shiatsu Therapy, which led her to study Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST) and Somato Emotional Release (SER).
Rati is undergoing post-graduate training in Osteopathy in the Cranial field, Biodynamic Osteopathy and Paediatrics, and general osteopathic technique..
Additional Training and Experience
Rati trained in Classical Middle Eastern dance as a teenager. She taught group classes to women and girls of all ages, in the South Coast, Canberra and Sydney. Her passion in teaching was to inspire women and girls to feel empowered, beautiful and graceful, regardless of their age, size or shape. Ancient philosophy was passed down in the class, including using the movements of the dance to encourage freedom of movement through the pelvis to ease the pain of menstruation and childbirth.
Through experiencing various health problems since childhood, Rati became an avid reader of treating the body through diet, nutrition and natural therapies. This led her to a strong interest in healthy eating and vegetarian cooking. At the completion of high school, Rati taught cooking classes in local community centres and worked as a cook in health food restaurants.
