Instructors
Khalid Boukhima
Khalid Boukhima, founder of Salama Ayurveda, became fascinated by this system of medicine and discovered many parallels with the Moroccan traditions, both in the kitchen, the hammam and the spiritual environment of nature. That is why the treatments at Salama Ayurveda are largely based on this ancient philosophy and can also be found in the kitchen.
