Himalayan Healers is the first professional massage therapy school in Nepal and over the years has established seven self-sustaining spa boutiques. What began as an idea in America, has become a reality in Nepal, and will now be moving full circle by returning to America to implement several new massage therapy projects. Numerous guest teachers have facilitated our establishment and growth over the years, while our team has grown into the supportive, loving, shared experience that it is today. The idea to create the Himalayan Healers project crossed Rob Buckley’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. We have been honored with support and mention from numerous international media outlets, magazines, and organizations. THANK YOU to everyone who has taken an active interest in our work at Himalayan Healers, and for your support. Together we are making a needed, effective, meaningful difference in people’s lives. Thank you for being a part of that!
