In 2010, Gaya is introduced to different fields of alternative and ancient medicine. She first learns about the groundbreaking work of Biomagnetism from her sister and how a family member’s Lupus was cured with this method even though Lupus is considered “incurable” by Western Medicine’s standards.

Learns about the groundbreaking work of Biomagnetism

A researcher by nature with her training in mental health, she pushed the boundaries of her studies in biomagnetism towards a holistic approach in order to effectively address the emotional, mental and energy aspects that influence health, beyond the physical aspects.
Founder of the International Association of Alternative Medicine

Her observations were later supported by the investigation of a Biomagnetic colleague from Mexico who offered the scientific visible evidence of her own observations and applications. Gaya became the founder of The New Era of Biomagnetism, an integrative approach towards the field that combines, the interaction between pathogens, toxins, dysfunctions, emotions, the mind, germ behavior, and energy.
