"Dear John, Thank you again for starting me on this path with Ayurveda. I'm on day 24 just with mindfulness and so far it has been like quitting drinking and cigarettes, pretty easy! It just blows me away. As soon as I feel a bit more stable I will go off the last one of my prescription meds, Neurontin. Happen to be going through menopause now as well but I am not letting any of the symptoms stop my progress. Choosing it all! Marriage, family, life, all better than I could have ever imagined, just amazing.
Thank you again, your help has been immeasurable!
With love,

"One of the most important things you said is not to follow a recipe so strictly. I was making something today, and had that in mind. It is freeing and something I need to feel and to know that I can actually let things flow - and it doesn't HAVE TO come out a certain way."
"John's passion for food, cooking, and assisting others is absolutely contagious and his kind, gentle way of teaching the principles of Ayurvedic cooking make it easy to fall in love with them. I personally was very inspired by the workshop and look forward to continuing this process of learning and getting well."
"So happy I joined this class! it was a great combination of (1) intellectual content on ayurvedic philosophy, nutrition, physiology: (2) behavioral guidance on approaches to eating and hunger; (4) psychological exercises on how I use food to comfort, discharge emotions, and numb out emotional pain; and last but not least (5) herbs and dietary cleansing practices. I highly recommend it as a way to change how one operates in relation to overeating."
"Hi John,
Yes, I am a practitioner in Ketchum, ID. I graduated from California College of Ayurveda a year ago, then went to India to study and opened my practice last December. I was very excited to find Joyful Belly. I think it will come in very handy for helping my patients find new recipes. I will work on my practitioner page! Thanks for the note.
Be well~

"John, I really enjoyed your cooking class and would be happy to attend more like it."
"This is such good information. I have a mild scoliosis and twisting and back bend yoga poses have been troublesome in the past. Now I understand why."
"It's like my intuition is being reexplained in depth. It's overwhelming in a good way because I'm so interested in what we're learning! I'm so inspired by the daily routines and rituals that Ayurveda practices. "
"John, this talk was incredible! The seven steps are so simple and easy to follow! I am looking forward to adopting them! A lot of people could benefit from this information! Thank you for disseminating your valuable knowledge."
"A quick note about this fun assignment of buddy consultation! I learned as much about my knowledge and delivery as I learned about my student buddy. It was powerful and we are going forward with another session in two weeks. It was powerful to see how her connect the dots and feel empowered to make some new shifts as a journey for feeling better."
"You make ayurveda fun. It is easier to learn when fun. A big thank you. This is the sign of a good teacher. Thank you also for making me laugh."
"I just wanted to share gratitude with you all and with our teachers at Joyful Belly. I'm so grateful for the deepened awareness of self and of nature that tuning into my body and my consciousness through Ayurveda. Thank you all for investing in yourselves and helping shine a little more wonder into your body, your heart & your communities "
"Hi John. I just LOVE this website. So very helpful. Awaiting my e-handbook with great anticipation! Have a great day"
"I did enjoy the session and got a lot out of it. Your intuition around my lack of breathing all the way down has proved significant as I started to realize all the breath holding I do and why and how to change that. The recommendations were communicated well in a comprehensive piece of paper. I have been doing the herbs and losing weight rapidly for someone with a slow thyroid for the first time in 5 years."
"Thank you so much for having your website. It is very easy to understand, follow, and encourage you to eat for your body type. I have been using your website for recipes over a cookbook, because it is so easy to see which ones will be best for my Vata body. Thank you so very much!!!!!!!"
"I feel so much more confident working with my healthy eating/living clients, and my cleanse programs have grown to incorporate more personalized plans and a focus on digestive health as the root of balanced health. Im excited to have more knowledge and tools to serve my clients!"
