"Shodhini" is Sanskrit for female researcher. We are inspired by the Shodhini's of India who wrote the book "Touch Me, Touch Me Not." We are a growing network of healers, bodyworkers, transmen, masculine of center womyn, doulas, midwives, nutritionists, yoginis, scholars and sheroes out to revolutionize the face of Western medicine regarding our bodies, minds, and spirits. The Shodhini Institute is a radical international movement comprised of individuals that are questioning and re-envisioning the way we understand our bodies, health, and how we interact with the world within the framework of self-help. We offer workshops, information, books and tools to become autonomous slef-helpers. Feel free to peruse, ask us any question and share the knowledge!
