The Ashoka-Team

Birgit Moukom: Ashoka’s founder, Birgit Moukom, was trained in the well-known European Ayurveda Academy Birstein, where she was a student of the Ayurveda experts Rhyner and Rosenberg. She gained her knowledge of Ayurvedic medicine while studying Ayurveda with Indian doctors Dr. Jeevan and Dr. Gupta. During her training, she was able to learn how to combine authentic Ayurveda with western quality standards. You can apply this approach in the Ashoka locations. She also studied kinesiology at Mathias Weber’s institute in Oldenburg and is a certified psychological coach IFK.

Since October 2007 she has been the independent operator of the Ashoka Spa in the Galo Resort Hotel in Madeira. In January 2011 she founded the holistic Ashoka Ayurveda treatement center in the Hotel Alpino Atlantico and in September 2019 she took over the management of the Palheiro Spa in the Palheiro Nature Estate.
