Esther Gokhale has been involved in integrative therapies all her life.  As a young girl growing up in India, she helped her mother, a registered nurse, to treat abandoned babies awaiting adoption.  She went on to study biochemistry at Harvard and Princeton and acupuncture at the San Francisco School of Oriental Medicine. After crippling back pain during her first pregnancy, unsuccessful physiotherapy, back surgery, and being advised to have no more children, she began her lifelong crusade to find a solution to back pain.  Her studies at the Aplomb Institute in Paris and years of research in Burkina Faso, India, Portugal and elsewhere led to her development of the Gokhale Method. Esther Gokhale is married to Stanford Math professor, Brian White, and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where they raised three children.
