Salt lake city, UT "Thank you for your time today in the midst of your tight schedule. I appreciate your openness, non-judgmental spirit, and ability to make one feel comfortable. I am encouraged by the simplicity of your recommendations (for a beginner like me), given the thousands of years of ancient wisdom behind them. Best wishes for the remainder of your journey to be fruitful, and safe travels home." Gloucester, MA "Before I sleep tonight, I just want to share my gratitude for being a student at Joyful Belly. to be able to learn from you is an opportunity of a lifetime. I never knew one could feel so connected in an online course. Quite an amazing journey, and thank you to all the classmates for sharing each week, i'm sure I will be re listening to our lectures nostalgically in the future so I hope everyone knows how appreciated they are." Ayurvedic Healer - "You keep it simple and also have a sense of humor about it all. That's very important to me." Asheville, NC "it only makes sense that knowledge that is over 4 thousand years old, designed to work harmoniously WITH our bodies and the natural world is effective, with minimal (ACTUALLY NONE!) negative effects. The PRICE for this is that the *patient *has to accept responsibility and *actively participate *in his recovery--(rather than the horrific 'Take this pill, and never mind the side effects' method of 'modern' medicine)" Asheville, NC "I am on week seven and just listened to the review you facilitated on Cow Milk. I just really want to express how much I appreciate the wisdom you bring to each lesson you teach. From the examples you use down to the pauses you take between questions or topics, to your real world experiences in every day life, I am really able to absorb a lot of your teaching. In recent weeks we haven't heard from you as often as we did the first few module's. In the future will we resume hearing more of your lecture's?" Midwife / Doula - Lakewood , OH "John did a wonderful job in presenting completely new concepts to a varied group of students, answering questions patiently and clearly. I felt like a whole new world opened up for me, one in which my body can and will be healthy. It is attainable more easily than I initially believed. It brought back the knowledge of wholeness which can so easily slip further and further into the background with our busy lives and non-supportive patterns we find ourselves in. John's teachings about balance also reminded me that the responsibility to heal myself is in my own lap, no excuses!" Asheville, NC "Thank you so much for offering the Kapha presentation this evening. I have recently completed my education in Ayurvedic Nutrition and found your website in looking for resource material. The information was presented very well. Ayurveda, though fascinating, can be daunting. What you offered was so easy to absorb and follow and shows how much you understand of Kapha." Other Health / Wellness Professional - Niskayuna, NY "I've been meaning to e-mail since we graduated to say thank you SO much for all your support on the course, organizing everything, giving us amazing insightful lectures and everything that you've done behind the scenes since I can imagine it must be a mammoth task!"

Other Health / Wellness Professional - Lakeville , PA "After listening to the Enzyme Deficiencies lecture I made up the banana, lime and coconut water smoothie for my elderly client who is always complaining about dry mouth. Her doctors have tried prescribing her everything under the sun. She reported today that she LOVES the smoothie and how much it's helping her mouth! THANK YOU John Joseph Immel for sharing your knowledge and this course! I cringe at the stuff they have her taking for her digestive issues and she's so frustrated because nothing is helping her."
