Gabriel brings to the Institute four decades of experience as a practitioner and teacher of Herbal Medicine, Aromatherapy, and an original approach to bodywork using
essential oils called Aromatic Acupressure. His way of working with medicinal plants
has a strong aromatic as well as holistic diagnostic emphasis, based as it is on
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as well as a sound understanding of the chemistry and scientific activities of herbs. Gabriel’s internationally published book
Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit also reflects his knowledge of plant symbolism.
