Mukund Subramanian began a 12-year training in 1993 with a renowned healer, Ōmuro Toyo, in Aomori, Japan, in a distinct Garlic Moxibustion (Ninniku Okyū) technique in the traditional apprenticeship system. Over the years, he has developed a distinct healing practice called Intuitive Healing which enhances the Ninniku Okyū practice. Mukund comes from a family of Carnatic musicians in Chennai, India, whose belief in the power of devotion, resonance, and healing greatly inspires his teachings.

Mukund holds a PhD in cultural anthropology from Stanford University where he received the Robert Beyer Textor Award for his work on the power of subtle emotional spaces and psychosomatic states created through the seer/healer and client/community. Mukund has been a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University and is completing a manuscript on emotion, intuition, and the art of healing, which is an exploration of our individual and collective journey to creatively heal and nurture healthy selves in the current global world.
