"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 loved the course, especially the development of felt senses, practical experiences offered, and herbal remedies. I was amazed by my experiences. John, you have a fabulous way of getting folks like me to think differently and I am deeply grateful for what I have learned from you."
"First I'd like to send a huge THANK YOU to you, John and the whole team who keeps Joyful Belly running. I can only imagine the efforts, organization and commitment that's required from all of you to run the AHC program. "
"First of all I would just like to say that I am LOVING this course. It's so interesting and applicable for someone who suffers from digestive discomfort. I have already felt a shift after implementing very simple changes."
"John, it's Kate and I just wanted to reach out today to say thank you and let you know how grateful I am for the invaluable knowledge I'm learning in this course. Today I was doing my homework on six tastes and I felt so inspired and passionate about everything I am learning and finally connecting all the dots with everything I have learned over the past 13 weeks. You're truly an amazing teacher and I simply wanted to tell you how grateful I am to have found Joyful Belly. You simply know you're on the right path when you are inspired daily to learn more and feel passionate and inspired daily! I am enjoying every moment of this journey and life is changing in ways I've never imagined. I feel on some days I'm a Harvard student being pushed beyond my limits but know at the end I will be truly grateful and prepared to share this knowledge and wisdom with others. Thank You!"
"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!"
"I have been "self-studying" ayurveda for about 7 years now, and my very first introduction to it (I had never heard of it before!) was when my yoga teacher told me to "go to joyfulbelly.com" Since then I have been reading as much as I can, subscribe to your mailing list, and browse through the many recipes. I would like to now go a step further in my journey, and begin to help OTHERS find wellness through ayurveda. The Joyful Belly site has been so helpful in my own journey, that I am interested in furthering my education through the school."
"On a personal health level, my eating habits and beliefs about food changed drastically. I learned to better understand my unique needs. I also learned to separate the overwhelming amount of online health information for the general population and narrow it down to what I actually needed for my body. As a result, my weight is lower then ever. My digestion is the best I can recall it being in my life. I also see my husband and children benefiting now and in the future from all the knowledge I have gained."
