Biography

Bombo was born in Melong and later moved to Kathmandu after she was married at age sixteen.[4][5] Following convulsions at age 25, she believed that her dead father, who had taught her shamanism as a child, was trying to leave her body.[4] She began to practice as a faith healer afterwards.[4] She is one of the first female shamans among the Tamang people.[5]

She sees around 60 people a day at the Boudhanath Temple.[4] Her work involves removing "bad spirits" from people and she doesn't claim to cure cancer.[4] She also teaches students about spirituality and faith healing.[6]
