"This course can only be described as life changing, life affirming, inspirational and a must for those looking for a better way of living life to the full. It has changed the way I view myself and how every seemingly little thing has a greater meaning. Old adages like "you are what you eat" has never been more true with a far deeper understanding of the relevance of this saying. What is deemed good and healthy for one is not necessarily good for another, depending on your type "Dosha". Yet another gem of knowledge to be gained. It has changed my relationship with myself, my food and the way I now choose to live my life, for the better. It has given me clarity of Mind, Body & Soul. Sara is truly inspirational and her passion for all that is Ayurveda is infectious. I cannot recommend this course enough. Thank you Sara. xxx" Anne Rivett
"If you want someone with a comprehensive understanding of Ayurveda, look no further than Sara! She has huge experience of the impact, both physical and emotional, of all aspects from nutrition, yoga, meditation, breathwork, body treatments to the healing properties of herbs and spices. Her care and love in developing and delivering her retreats (in beautiful locations) is obvious and you are in safe hands. I attended the Autumn Rejuvenation Retreat with my daughter and it was a lovely time for the two of us to connect and I came away refreshed and inspired to incooperate the daily routines into my life." Carole Briggs
"This course with Sara has been truly transformative. It is not just an overview of Ayurveda but a deep immersive journey that starts from the very first principles and gradually builds a strong foundation of understanding. What I appreciated most is that it is not about memoraisation but about real comprehansion. Sara guides you to think, reflect and truly grasp the why behind Ayurvedic principles, which makes everything click on a deeper level. The course is highly interactive which keeps you engaged and supported throughout. You don't just learn theory but you actually get to design your own Ayurvedic Lifestyle routine and explore the Ayurvedic kitchen in a hands on practical way. It;s not a light, casual course and it requires time, commitment and dedication, but if you give yourself to the process you'll walk away with immense wisdom, a new perspective on life and tools to take control of your health and wellbeing. Sara is a wonderful teacher who is grounded and deeply knowledgeable. I highly recommend this course to anyone ready to emrace a more intentional holistic way of living." Avantika J
