She completed her postgraduate studies in Ayurveda (Ayurveda Nishnata) with world renowned Ayurveda Physician, Prof Dr P H Kulkarni (Ex Dean Ayurveda University from Pune, India).
She works in a holistic fashion, combining her therapeutic skills with energy balancing techniques. This method of practise is designed to enhance the healing process, bringing about a physical, mental and emotional equilibrium, as well as a sense of harmony and well being. She has worked for several years with cancer, chronic fatigue and stroke patients, giving them the strength to cope with the fears and emotions of their diseases, whilst also building up their immunity and their subtle spiritual beings.
Farida has been (and, indeed, continues to be) a leading pioneer in Ayurveda Aromatherapy. Through her research and studies she has combined the ancient science of Ayurveda, with the science of Aromatherapy and has been successful in reviving the use of essential oils in Ayurveda. Farida is an international speaker/lecturer and is frequently invited to International Conferences in the Natural Therapies and Alternative Health fields.
She conducts workshops and seminars in Ayurveda Aromatherapy, including several ancient allied body techniques such as Shirodhara, Shiroabhyang (Authentic Indian Head Massage), Padabhyang (Authentic Indian Foot Massage) and many more. In the nineties, she introduced the concept of Indian Padabhyang (Indian Foot Technique) to the Reflexologists, together with the Kasa Bowl Technique. Many international practitioners have studied with Farida and have since incorporated these concepts into their practices.
In recent years, the Australian government accredited her course, “Diploma in Ayurveda Aromatherapy”. This is the first course of its kind. She has developed her own rare and unique Ayurveda Aromatherapy Range, including blends for skin & body care and therapeutic use, under the name of Subtle Energies. Through Subtle Energies she has created a range of exclusive signature blends for the Spa industry and is now a supplier to spas all around the world. Subtle Energies supplies products to countries such as Mauritius, Maldives, India, Australia, Canada, Italy, Switzerland, USA and the UK.
In 2001, Farida wrote a book called “The Magic of Ayurveda Aromatherapy”, which received commending reviews amongst the holistic industry. The book is about her work and research into the study of these rare and unique oils and how they can be used in harmony with universal healing sciences. Recipes are given for skin problems, skin care and other therapeutic problems, together with case studies, spiritual affirmations, colour therapy, aura/chakras, Indian clays and much more. In 2004 she was the recipient of the “International Ayurveda Saraswati Award” from the Ayurveda Academy, at the International Ayurveda Conference in Pune, India. This award was given for the work and research accomplished in writing “The Magic of Ayurveda Aromatherapy”.
She has established the Original Bowen Technique (founded by Oswald & Elaine Rentsch) in India and has trained a dedicated team of qualified Bowen practitioners in India and Australia. She continues to travel to India, training new practitioners and doing her voluntary works, using the Bowen Technique.
In April of 2006, inspired by her Ayurveda Guru, Prof Dr. P.H. Kulkarni, Farida, together with her colleagues Dr Shaun Matthews, Dr Rama Prasad and Sevadevi Glover, organised the 26th Ayurveda Conference in Sydney, Australia, a conference which usually takes place in Pune, India. It was the first International Ayurveda and Yoga Conference to take place in this country. The conference included eminent, world-renowned speakers such as Prof Dr P H Kulkarni, Parmahans Swami Maheshwarananda, Swamini Mayatitinanada, Dr Ian Gawler, Dr Swami Shankerdev, Dr Ramkumar, Prof Marc Cohen and many more. Farida is also a Founding member of Ayurveda Yoga Australia. In 2006, Farida was presented with the “International Ayurveda Dhanuvantari Award” from the Ayurveda Academy in India. She received this award “for her significant contribution in the field of Ayurveda with special reference to Propagation, Education & Research.” She is also the first-ever female recipient of this award.
Farida continues to promote these sciences through the work in her clinic, products, courses and her many travels around the globe. She believes that her clients are her teachers and every individual who has come to her for treatment, has taught her a valuable lesson. Her mission is to spread the true spirit of these sciences to the world, thereby creating more awareness amongst practitioners and patients alike, to help the ailing humanity. Ideally, she hopes for, and works towards providing people with, a well-balanced lifestyle on all levels.

Bowen Technique
Farida is a qualified Bowen therapist and a Senior Bowtech Instructor.
The Bowen Technique was developed by Tom Bowen from Geelong, Australia, who successfully treated 13000 patients a year. Oswald and Elaine Rentsch (Osteopath & Homeopath), then worked with Tom Bowen and documented the technique. They commenced teaching it after Tom Bowen’s death, as per his wish. They have since taken the technique to more than 25 countries all over the world and are the Principals of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia.
Bowen is a very non invasive State of the art Technique and has profound effects on various chronic disorders including degenerated spine, arthritis, rheumatism, stress, chronic fatigue, acidity, fractures, sprains, sports injuries, musculo skeletal disorders, asthma, nervous disorders, mental and emotional equilibrium, women’s problems including fertility and many other ailments. The Bowen Technique compliments conventional medicine. It is a unique form of neuromuscular repatterning and is a completely new concept of body work which is neither derived from nor similar to any other physical modality.
In Bowen, specific, gentle, rolling moves are made on ligaments, tendons or muscles which most likely activate the Golgi receptors and send signals to the brain, the neurological pathways, the fascia, also activating the meridians, and the electro magnetic field of the person. These stimulations activate a systematic response so powerful that a few minutes pause is observed to allow them to be integrated. Unlike other treatments the body does its own rectification and the will of the practitioner is not imposed on the client. It has been suggested that the Bowen Technique may introduce specific harmonic frequencies to the body systems on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Benefits are usually apparent within two sessions, even when long standing conditions are being treated. What’s more Bowen results are lasting and profound!

Ayurveda

Kulkarni , her Ayurveda Guru and Teacher and an Internationally known personality in the Ayurveda world. He is available for consultation when he visits Australia to teach and consult.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient art of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has been practiced for approximately the last 3000 years. It works on a system called the ‘meridians’, which are energy pathways or Qi (vitality/ energy) that run through our bodies. Qi flows through the body and should be in dynamic form always to keep a constant equilibrium, so that the body is in a healthy state. The Yin / Yang symbol portrays this balance.
When there is a disruption in the flow of Qi, the body is no longer in harmony and the equilibrium is disturbed. This is when disease can manifest. In order to balance out the equilibrium, modalities such as Acupuncture help maintain this constant flow, thereby preventing sickness developing in the body. It also allows the body to heal itself when a disorder has resulted, by aiding the meridians to re-establish a strong and healthy flow of Qi. *
Acupuncture is therefore a preventative medicine, which promotes maintaining one’s health, as well as helping disorders, which have already manifested. Some of the disorders that the World Health Organisation has specified where Acupuncture is effective are:

Stress
Musculo skeletal Problems
Reproductive Disorders
Respiratory Problems
Digestive Disorders
Allergies
Sinus
Skin Problems (i.e. eczema, acne…)

Courses in Bowen Technique – The Original Bowtech
Farida is a instructor in the revolutionary technique of Bowen Therapy conducting diploma courses accredited by the Bowtech Academy in both Australia and India. She has been treating people voluntarily in Mumbai and Pune during her visits to India using the Bowen technique and as the numbers have grown and people are feeling the benefits there is a need to have Bowen practitioners locally. There are a few who claim to be practicing or teaching Bowen but to Farida’s dismay neither are they practicing Bowen nor are they trained by the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia. Her dream and her passion is to establish this unique modality and science in India in its true and pure format.
She now has a proud team of very dedicated and committed Bowen practitioners in India, the first of their kind ever in India who are running successful clinics in Mumbai and also giving of their valuable time in doing voluntary works. She teaches in Sydney, Australia as well.
Learning Bowen involves completing 7 x 2 day modules which in India is over a one year period. Modules 1 to 6 cover all aspects of training with Module 7 as the Accreditation Assessment Module. Knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology is a prerequisite together with Senior First Aid and Business management skills. This can be learnt locally alongside doing the Bowen Course in order to receive their Diploma of Proficiency in Bowtech and be called Professional Bowtech Practitioners.
