About Us
Nabin is a native of Nepal and was born in a small village in the
west of the country. From the very beginning, village life sensitised
Nabin to healing, energy work and spirituality. Shaman healers,
and Yogis were part of his nurturing community close to the rhythms
of nature, where massage is a daily practice from mothers to their
babies. This environment led Nabin to an interest in the field of
healing through touch and energy work. The opportunity to give shape
to this interest came through Ancient Thai massage initially. Nabin
had always been a keen sports man and knew the value of bodywork
and found he could blend bodywork with the nurturing and healing
practice of this form of massage.
Nabin began his work in this field in the early 1990s and has been
teaching most recently in "The Kathmandu Center of Healing"
which he founded in March of 1997 for the preservation and promotion
of Ancient Thai Massage and the development, instruction and practice
of other healing disciplines.
Through his practice and teaching of this unique form of massage,
Nabin has developed many insights into this technique and while
loyal to the ancient traditional form, he draws on a depth of experience
and understanding, which he shares in his teachings.
His sensitivity to energy, perceptiveness and intuitive approach
are refreshing in his teaching style.
In addition to Ancient Thai Massage, Nabin is a Reiki Master and
offers attunement and healing in Reiki, has many years practice
experience in Meditation and from his personal experience instructs
Yogic practices.
Nabin has traveled combining teaching and study through Asia and
in Europe and was most recently a student of Chaiyuth Priyasith,
the much respected and oldest teacher of Thai Massage in Chang-mai,
Thailand.
Nabin is both founder and director at the "Kathmandu Center
of Healing" and maintains this function when traveling for
further study and to give courses in both Asia and Europe.
