Instructor: I am Naj; your primary instructor for this program. I am the director, founder, instructor, and dish washer of The Naga Center, which I started in 2005. Basically, I am the Naga Center (and much of this website is written first person, in my voice). I have been a massage therapist since I was 21 years old (born in '69, so you can do the maths), and have been traveling to Thailand regularly since 1998 to study traditional Thai Herbal medicine and bodywork and lived there for two years while writing my books on Thai medical theory and herbalism. In the summer of 2017 I spent a month in Thailand, during which time I traveled into the jungles of the far north to learn from kind hearted midwives, in a continuing project of prenatal and postpartum care research that I began nearly 20 years ago.
