Very bizarre and expensive experience. ( I don't blame anyone but myself for this). I was given the…read more"I am not a doctor" before going into my appointment. However, during my appointment and after listing all my symptoms and how gynecologists have told my I have suspected endometriosis, I was told by Kristine that I don't have that during muscle testing. I was shocked at such a bold statement ONLY because it went against the "I am not a doctor" statement I was told. I convinced myself this woman had a strong intuition until my chronic pelvic pain did not subside from the tinctures I was given. Which ... they weren't supposed to. It was only something western medicine could handle. Here I am two weeks post op with all endometriosis excised from my bladder and deep from my pelvis. So, Yes. I did have that. But the point of this review is that I was told I didn't have something..... when I absolutely did. It did not align with the " I am not a doctor" which I was told twice. If you are not a doctor, then how come I am being told I don't have something? Everything was very speedy and rushed... but I am assuming that is all because routine is the same for every person. Listen to symptoms, muscle test, and send home with 2-3 tinctures/ vitamins. Waiting for the western medicine and natural path world to align and become one instead of being so separate from each other!!! Hopefully one day. I see reviews that this practice is a scam, I think it is in some ways, but for some people (especially when their symptoms are mental, body is low in vitamins, contains parasites, etc. ) it could really help but it seems to be an expensive guessing game that is for sure.

After reading so many 5 star reviews, I was desperate to give this a try, even with the high…read moreinitial price point (approximately $200 for the appointment and homeopathic drops). I have to agree with another recent reviewer that this is a scam. The entire process was strange from start to finish in terms of what she does to check the body energy. None of it makes sense and you can watch her video on Yelp to see what I mean. I have chronic gastritis and came in for help with that. What she found and the drops given did not help me. Actually a very natural remedy did recently, but nothing that was done during this appointment or following. I am not sure how what she does helps people with digestive issues and I don't think she should be advertising that she can help with that. I also don't think she should be ripping people off with such a high initial price point when there are no guarantees and what she does is pretty hard to believe as legitimate. I really wanted this to work but I warn people to not go and use your best judgement. As desperate as you might be, this is too good sounding to be true and effective.

I had an appointment scheduled, and unfortunately I wasn't able to make it. I called them at the time of my scheduled appointment but got no answer. I left a message hoping I'd get a call back, but none ever came. I either would've come in later if possible, or rescheduled. Instead of calling me back they simply charged me for the appointment. That, to me, is not how you teat a client. If I had never called, or was just a poor patient I can see that being the course to take, but if i Try to reschedule, or come in later that day they should work with me, and not simply charge me.

When I started I couldn't walk my dog, do errands, garden, or sweep the kitchen. I had to nap twice a day for at least an hour each time. I went to 8 sessions - very pricey - $190/each - and of course I wondered if it was worth it. But the morning after my eighth session, I woke up feeling like myself again. It was amazingly sudden. I was immediately able to do everything I couldn't do before - starting slow, but building up to almost normal. Now, 5 months after I started seeing them, I'm trying very limited aerobic activities like longer walks, and swimming. It's slow progress at this stage, but a big change from doing nothing!!! I don't pretend to understand their theory or method, but it worked for me. The whole staff is kind and caring. Spend the money if you possibly can. Don't waste your time in bed!

The work she put into her very detailed 12-page Wellness Report that followed our discussion was beyond my expectations. I slowly started to incorporate her suggestions and began feeling a physical and psychological change within a few weeks. When I was fully vaccinated I visited Mona in person for abhyanga and champi treatments. So far I have had two sessions. Mona's massage technique got my body moving again after the side effects of my sedentary lifestyle due to covid. Her oils are calming which is a nice complement to the peaceful awakening of my energy and muscle movement. I'm thrilled to be enjoying continual vitality after each treatment. The lingering energetic aspect is something I haven't experienced before. It's a wonderful benefit that has changed my outlook on life. I feel alive again and calm. Day by day, I am working my way back to the active lifestyle my body, mind, and soul have missed over the past year and a half. Mona has lived an Ayurvedic life since she was a child. She warmly radiates her compassion to help people. Sharing her wealth of experience and knowledge to assist people to live their life with happiness is her heartfelt reward. I highly recommend Eternal Healing Ayurveda. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with Mona.

Stay far, far, far away from this place. I don't know how there are legitimate 5 Star reviews here…read morebecause my experience was so bad and so disturbing I almost filed a complaint with the city. I made an appointment three weeks in advance for an intake and an Abangha massage, received paperwork, filled it out, had my appointment confirmed. Showed up on the day of the appointment and the practice was closed, no one there. After 20 minutes I called the practice and the "doctor" answered, said she had no knowledge of our appointment (again, I have emails from her confirming) and that she will take a cab to come in, be there in 5-10 minutes. 35-minutes later she arrives. We go into her office, she tells me the massage part will be postponed for the next week. Okay, fair enough, she's killed an hour of our time already. As the session begins she does claims all my emails and info are in her spam box so she has no background on me. She then insists on conducting the appointment without masks on, which is VERY illegal. I thought she was doing this so that she could do vitals but guess what, she never does vitals: no pulse nor tongue checks nor any intake information of my body at all. The next 70- minutes are spent with her doing a pseudo-psychic, astrological reading of me where she spends the time saying that I need to divorce my wife and get my own place and that when I leave my wife that all my health concerns will vanish (which are real, documented, rare diseases that is see a team of doctors and specialists at Mt Auburn for), that they are in my head (so 170+ tumors are all in my head), and once I am free of my wife and change my attitude that I will mysteriously be healed. We spend no time on diet, my diagnosis, my lifestyle, she never looks at my body, though she makes lots of judgements on my visible tattoos and she concludes that the only people with tattoos are mentally ill. Our session ends in the middle of one of her long ramblings as a new patient arrives. She promises to send me follow up reading, pamphlets, videos (which she never does), and then collects $100 from me for services she never provides. Having lived in India and having worked with Ayurvedic doctors and practitioners in the past this is nothing like I've ever experienced before. This is the very opposite of what Ayurvedic medicine, any medicine, she represent and people like this should not be able to practice. Avoid this fake doctor and her damaging practice.

As a graduate of the apprenticeship and the two year advanced studies program, I highly recommend this school. When I moved to the northeast a quality herb school was high on my priority list, and I had completed an herbal apprenticeship elsewhere. I wanted to jump straight into the advanced program but was convinced by Katja to start with the apprenticeship and I'm so glad I did, because there was almost no overlap with my previous program. My knowledge of herbal energetics, actions and preparations, body systems, physiology and traditional food ways grew by leaps and bounds (before this I had a solid biology background). The vitalist principles foundational to holistic health; including sleep, movement, diet and stress management, are instilled throughout the coursework and laid the groundwork for my current practice. The apprenticeship is for all kinds of folks who want a foundation in herbal studies for personal education. The advanced program is great for anyone wanting to dive deeper, especially if they have questions about how to set up an herbal business. The advanced program includes training for the sorts of issues you are likely to encounter as an herbalist working in an urban setting. I find the staff knowledgeable and committed to excellence. Great if you want to really sink your teeth into the material. Substantial.
