It really is a transformation process for me to learn and experience how everything is connected. Elke is such a wonderful healer. I have been using the practices she prescribed to me for 2+ months and I'm now after only 1 month of seeing Elke and 20+ years of taking RX to sleep due to chronic insomnia; I'm off of my RX and sleeping soundly and feeling great. I never thought this was possible until I met Elke. So incredibly grateful to Elke... Elke prescribed treatment specific to my dosha and I've been following it and I'm beyond grateful that it works. I'm not going to lie, it takes time and preparation but her methods do work. I've also been seeing Elke for massages and leave there feeling refreshed and renewed. She uses many different techniques on me depending on the goal we are working on for that day. I now consider Elke as one of the key tools to connecting my mind and body. Lastly, Elke is a very kind and gentle person that I am grateful to have in in my life.

My health has been up and down my entire life (chronic fatigue, migraines, anxiety, digestion…read moreissues etc) and I had gotten NO WHERE with traditional doctors through my insurance who keep trying to push a new prescription drug on me every time I see them. I knew some basics about Ayurveda already through my own research and decided that seeing someone who specializes in it would be the best solution for me. I found Britt online and was fairly apprehensive to see her after having a terrible previous experience from another person I found on Yelp. We had a short initial consultation call and I got off the phone feeling unsure about whether or not she had asked enough questions or if she would be able to actually help me (everyone else had tried to 'sell' me for an hour). However, when I met her I was BLOWN AWAY!! I soon realized the reason our call was so short: Britt is the type of person that you HAVE to meet in person (although I'm sure she's great for remote clients too). She has such an intuitive sense about her that really guides the sessions- which is SO SO SO important for me when meeting with people because I pick up on things like that instantly. It's a very special quality that is rarely embodied in the way that Britt is able to present + integrate it into her practice... and, I don't even know if she KNOWS she is doing it but I could tell right away that she is very gifted. I have a hard time describing her- but she's like an intuitive guide, life coach, therapist, friend, spiritual being and Ayurvedic expert wrapped into one lovely human. She's the type of person that you could talk to and listen to for days and makes you feel incredibly safe + validated. She listened while I unloaded 25+ years of various traumas onto her and picked up on many things about me that I didn't even realize myself. She also instantly picked up on things that I had been working with a life coach on for YEARS, which is truly just amazing. She was able to identify my type (Vata-Pitta- which was different than any other quiz had told me and DEAD on) and create a plan specifically for me. Because my type tends to be sporadic, non committal and inactive when overwhelmed- she made sure my plan was perfectly tailored with those traits in mind. I left feeling excited, empowered, loved and ready to take things on- which is often NOT how I feel when leaving sessions like this so it truly was overall just the best experience. I highly recommend seeing Britt, even if there's nothing major you're looking to fix because she can even help with overall quality of life improvement too- which we ALL need. I haven't began the plan she made for me (literally just saw her yesterday night and was so excited I had to write this ASAP) but I already know that it will be life changing and even my first session alone was enough to make it all worth it!

Every time we communicate, Britt is able to intuit emotional derivatives and masked root causes, and she conducts immersive exercises to allow me the space to impart them on my own terms. She has helped me process so many events in my life, pulling out common threads and manifesting epiphanies I would have never thought possible. She imparted wisdom that has manifested the most beautiful season in my life, with full understanding of how to manage the cycles of life to come. For anyone considering an intro call with Britt - do it! You'll learn more about your past, present and future self and get to design your life with maximized insight. Thank you, Britt!

Sachi's teachings gave me the foundations to explore Ayurveda. Some of her teachings I use daily include dinacharya (daily self-care practices), knowledge of spices and herbs, yoga practices, and the 6 tastes for Ayurveda cooking. I later reached out to Sachi directly with a personal conflict about practicing and teaching yoga as a South Asian American. Her empathy, guidance, and knowledge pushed me forward on my journey. She recommended courses, books, materials and practices to help me understand the roots and vastness of yoga as-well as my own true nature. I could not be more grateful and aspired by Sachi who has been an amazing mentor & teacher in Ayurveda as well as in my personal path. I would recommend her for mentorship without any doubt as she is truly one of a kind!

I later decided to work with Sachi one-on-one through her Foundations of Health program. The one-on-one work help me take the ayurvedic knowledge I was introduced to and implement that into the lifestyle changes I wanted to make. About a year later I was having a minor health challenge. (Minor in the sense that it wouldn't kill me, major as it required major changes to my diet and environment.) My western medical doctors told me it could only be treated by conventional medicine and that there was no "holistic" or "natural" way to treat the condition. So I contact Sachi for advice, she changed my life, she pointed me in the direction I need to go. The information she gave me was exactly what I was looking for. The changes I needed to make were radical to me because I am a total foodie and love FOOD! So in the beginning, I was very sad that I was going to be restricted from eating some of my favorite foods. Sachi worked with me throughout this process with compassion and understanding and that made a world of difference. After I removed foods that were causing inflammation, I felt better and I didn't really miss them as much as I thought I was going to. I am incredibly grateful to Sachi, I reversed my condition and I could not have done that without all of her support.

After working with a few people in the Bay Area trying to find the right person, I'm so grateful I found Simone. She's knowledgable, kind and a true healer. She's developed her love and understanding of Ayurveda to make it work in our modern lifestyle (especially in the Bay Area where eating out is the norm), this quality is so important if you are making permanent, ongoing lifestyle changes. Simone's understanding and explanation of things has been critical in being able to sustain my changes as well as having somewhere to go to "reset" when I've completely gone off track. I recently did a panchakarma with Simone and her PK partner Tanya and it was amazing. One of the best I've had anywhere in the world. I was uncomfortable at first doing the prep for it by myself at home, but Simone was there every step of the way guiding me on email and checking in daily. I think having done it a couple of times before, I was ready to take the initiative to make changes at home before and after the treatments. It was much easier than I expected. During the treatments, Tanya had a lovely place for me to stay, they cooked for me and I felt totally nurtured and supported. I felt amazing afterward. It was just the reset I needed. I highly recommend seeing Simone if you want to incorporate Ayurvedic treatments and changes into your lifestyle. She's a wealth of knowledge as well as an experienced practitioner and her practice comes from the heart.
