So okay, clearly this person changed the name of his business (his name) to this new business name and bought an office...I guess... Just looking over my reviews and it's such a shame that this person is going to the extent of lying about me. He knows good and well who I am. When I saw him he did not work from an office, he worked out of his home with dogs running around...and made herbs from his kitchen. Not a very nice person in my opinion. I am not obligated to report to him when I paid good money for mediocre service. So he can deny whatever he wants. Squirrel-y, squirrel-y! read more

I discovered Khabir through his informal herb classes. These are held at his house and serve as an accessible entry point for people new to herbalism/ayurveda as well as those continuing their studies. I spontaneously signed up for his India classes. My experience with him in India was nothing but disappointing. Khabir was late to every class session by at least 30 minutes because he was shopping or having lunch. Classes consisted with students taking turns reading from the book which we had all already done in preparation before coming to India and while waiting for Khabir to arrive to class. I learned next to nothing and left extremely disappointed in the money I had spent to travel across the world. I would not recommend investing in these programs if you are a student intent on growing for career purposes. There are teachers who truly embody the art and science of Ayurveda who will instill much deeper knowledge in you. Edit: Since posting my review Khabir has been emailing his clients as a request for 5 star reviews in exchange for free gifts and discounts. He has also blocked me and this same review on Facebook. The 5 star reviews left for the course were written by students who initially expressed unhappiness with the course to me. I can only guess why they changed their mind. The "testimonials" on his site are clearly all in favor of him, why would he include anything other than on his own website?? In my opinion, trying to cover up the truth is NOT a sattvic quality and I would wish better for any human in my life, especially one calling themselves a healer and teacher. When I expressed my concerns during the course of his lack of actual teaching Khabir responded the the root of suffering is expectation. That I should have no expectations of the course and therefore I would not be disappointed. ?!??!??! I hate to spend any more time dealing with this but cannot with good conscious keep this to myself with the hopes of saving anyone else the disappointment and money of flying all the way to India to experience this "class".

I had one in-person consultation with Mr. Southwick. It lasted for three hours. In great detail, he went over the type of dosha I had (digestion type); how my ailments were manifestations of it being imbalanced; foods I should eat more of/cut back on/avoid, and a variety of herbal remedies and teas he put together for me at additional cost. The visit cost $90; the herbs $100, and he encouraged me to pre-book and pre-pay a second visit for $50. Please note: pre-paid visits are non-refundable. To his credit, his dietary advice was VERY helpful. The herbs - different story. After taking them for four days, I woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating muscle pain in my entire right side. I couldn't turn my head; my right bicep muscle was throbbing with pain, and I had an old inflammatory condition flare up. I also had constipation problems during these days. When I stopped taking the herbs, the problems dissipated, and when I took an herbal tea or digestion aid of his, they came right back. But his dietary advice was very helpful. After trying to contact him about my side effects from the herbal supplements, my email apparently reached his spam folder. He did get back to me eventually and refunded me the $50 for the (cancelled) second visit. He also emailed me more food recipes and dietary info. But I remain very skeptical to the herbal supplements and believe they can be dangerous to some people (NPR did a story on many Ayurvedic herbal supplements including dangerous ingredients like copper and other metals.) He mentioned that one of these herbal powders included coral and pearl, which I found alarming, for medical and environmental reasons. So... the dietary advice can work wonders. But exercise some healthy skepticism to the herbal supplements. read more

I learned so much, and got so inspired working with Khabir to figure out my ideal eating style!! If you want to solve most of your problems, start with your diet + herbs!!! I was really at my wits end trying all types of online-inspired trendy diets and one-size-fits-all eating info from non-ancient information. I tried raw, I tried high carb low fat, I tried keto... none of it felt right... REALLY, I needed to move on with my life and KNOW for myself exactly what my body needed, so that I could take care of it and thrive. I always loved Indian knowledge and yoga, so I started looking online and found Khabir (I had a constant runny nose + sneezing). I loved his videos and was ready to take it seriously. It was such a worthwhile investment for my health, one of the best I have ever made. I feel like I have the info that every human should get when they are young, to learn how to care for their specific body for the rest of their lives. The main thing I love about Khabir's style is that he makes is SO EASY AND SIMPLE!! I have read about Ayurveda and taken workshops, and everyone made it seem so overwhelming and complicated that I just gave up. He keeps is simple and direct, which I love. If I could get everyone I know to see him, I 100000% would. I can say my life is truly better, my body healthier, and my mind clearer, since I made the choice to Skype with him. I am eternally grateful, THANK YOU KHABIR!!!!!! I also love all his videos and webinars because I learn so much more! read more

Khabir Southwick is a fountain of knowledge and health in all things Ayurveda. Convinced by family members and western medical professionals that my post nasal drip was simply always going to be, I was desperate to really change my inner environment and get better. With Khabir's herbs and especially his dietary recommendations, I now know how to lessen and sometimes eliminate my post nasal drip. read more

Khabir is a great healer. He brings the Ayurveda in a great way. I enjoy the time he spends on working with you. It never feels rushed or hurried. He has a great selection of herbs and knowledge. read more

I attended week 1 and 2 of Khabir's "course" in India.  It seems now is the time to make my experience public.  I am a health care provider by profession with many years of college education.  I believed what Khabir promised in his marketing about this course, however, most of it was inaccurate.  Khabir is not a competent instructor.  The course was not worth my time, money or effort.  His behavior and approach was unprofessional. Sadly I don't have anything positive to say about his Rishikesh associates either, their goal struck me as being primarily self-promotion and money. Throughout the 2 weeks, Khabir was unprepared for classes, he was consistently very late, he spent much of the time texting on his phone. There wasn't even a real classroom, we met in restaurants.  He simply does not have the skills to conduct a class and relay information in an effective way. He was not receptive to negative feedback or suggestions.  It seemed that this course was a way for him to fund an annual trip to India for himself and his son.  If you are serious about wanting to learn Ayurveda, I advise that you invest your time and money elsewhere. read more
