Testimonials:

"I can't recommend this course enough. I came away from it feeling quite empowered after being quite anxious for several weeks. Ayurveda is so beautiful and Kester truly is a gifted teacher, speaker and mentor." - Sarah

"If anyone is interested in learning about an Ayurvedic (wholistic) approach to preventing viruses (including COVID19) and treating them at home, this course is awesome and very informative." - Lily

 'Thanks so much Kester. This was such an awesome talk and the meditation was the cherry on the top." - Galaxy

 "I can't tell you how wonderful it all was. Thank you so very much. xx It was way above my expectations." - Sandra

"I just wanted to thank you for putting together this course. I have just finally watched the whole thing and it was WONDERFUL!!!!! I loved how Kester went through the basics of Ayurveda - I had never heard it explained so well and so succinctly. And the COVID19 suggestions were great. This week I have renewed many of my practices and in just 5 days, my digestion is better from simply the ginger water, hot water throughout day and oil massage! I just wanted you to know that your videos matter so much and I hope you do more seminars like this in the future." - Jocie

"I wanted to tell you also that your lectures in response to COVID19 were fabulous. My daughter got very sick in the first week of isolation. She didn’t fit the criteria so was not tested - so not sure if it was COVID19 but we used all the protocol that Kester suggested and none of us in the household got sick and my daughter recovered quickly." - Beth
