“My wife is actually much better after just pressing some points,” said Ashok Kumar, a family friend, whose wife Rekha has had Parkinson’s at a young age and just did not know what to do. When he realized I actually knew Ketan Shah, he was thrilled and our friendship became much deeper.

There are many people practicing acupressure but as one who has been through a traumatic experience, his passion and zeal to empower everyone is remarkable.

Ketan Shah went through a traumatic time a few years ago, when a routine appendicitis surgery he underwent went wrong. A series of operations and treatments later, his condition further deteriorated. Gangrene developed and he was told to accept that a regular operation to keep his gangrene under check would be part of his life. Driven to desperation, he tried various therapies with hope rapidly running out. At this juncture, a friend referred him to Dr Bhojraj, a practitioner of acupressure, who coached him on healing himself through this technique. After one month of diligently following his instructions with the help of his wife, he was completely cured.

“Wow, my headache has become so much better”, “I was able to help a co-passenger walk better”, are some of the comments people who have attended Ketan Shah’s workshop have given. In just two days, one learns how to become fit and help others cope healthily in one’s life.

Indeed, Mr Shah’s ultimate aim is to empower people and free them of all dependencies, including a dependency on him.

Come, and empower yourself.
