“Initially I looked at Ayurveda as a way to gain a deeper understanding of clients and as an alternative way
to treat them. However throughout the course I realised how much it was benefiting me. It has given me
such empowering wisdom within, knowledge I can pass on to family and friends.”
– Libby, Ayurveda graduate.
