His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful.

John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion.
