Gala Mitchell

My name is Gala. As a child, I grew up in the English Cotswold countryside: nature at its most magical. Later, in the 60’s I lived in London, France, and Italy.

Back then I was a well known actress and a model.

In the early 70’s I moved to a small private island in the Caribbean with my family for the next 8 years, again surrounded by pristine and unspoilt beauty.

At 38 I was looking for change again and a call to a more purposeful life style. I was directed to Colorado to study with the brilliant iconic teacher Larry C. Short(Lar) author and teacher of Eastern meditation and a unique system of body work and trauma release. This has influenced my approach to healing the physical body that I have applied with other learned techniques for 30 years. Returning to the islands and still on this journey of self discovery and waiting for the next phase, I came into contact with the Bulgarian Master Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov and his philosophy of harmonious living with nature and the Divine World. I became a live food practitioner under the auspices of Ann Wigmore and the Hippocrates Institute. I have always been sustained by a closeness with the earth and a simple life.

Later, the path lead to the Rebirthing community as illumined by Sondra Ray one of the founders of Breathwork and was introduced to the idea that “thought is creative” which has informed my life. I am deeply involved with Shamanic studies. I have lived in 2 spiritual communities and for 25 years I have surrounded myself with the community of like minded people and teachers. Using my experiences and knowledge has proven transformational and practical whenever difficult issues have presented themselves. It continues to be an exciting life’s work and a joy to share .

Today, here in Palm Desert and the I am a Breathwork facilitator/teacher and Massage Therapist in this amazing California desert area including Palm Springs, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, Coachella, Cathedral City, and Sun City.
