Testimonials from past AyurDoula students
"Initial doubts about the time and cost investment went quickly in mind and heart. Ysha's warm and loving style has motivated and encouraged; it has been an honor and pleasure to work under her supervision. She was very patient (I am hearing impaired), and her incredible knowledge of so many subjects made it a facinating training! Hands on learning was a big advantage. It has given me a loving day time career, and my husband is very grateful! -- Marcia Glick, CD (Birth Doula), PPAD
"Thank you for all of the guidance, support and respect that you have given me this past year as a student and intern. You have taught me so much and I value all that I have learned from you. " -- Sonya Bastow, CPPAD
"The mothers respond so well and quickly to the postpartum cooking; they always tell me how satisfied and nurtured they feel from the food and home spa care. I have had at least 5 'marriage proposals'! We also see immediate improvements with swelling and a shift in a woman's nervous system after just one Ayurvedic warm oil home spa session. I discovered the benefit essential oils have on many of the mothers I have worked with, especially with different types of soreness and anxiety. Many clients need a little extra support and I find the essential oils give immediate results, also for infant calming and antimicrobial protections; the turn around is profound." -- Sonya Bastow, CPPAD
"That information is absolutely GREAT! THANK YOU sooooo very much! God bless your heart for sharing!" -- Linda Macenas, AyurDoula Student
"I cooked for a lady at my house and got paid very well! After that she offered me a long term arrangement. I love the way we learned to cook! I feel healthier too. Thank you so much; you have changed my life!" -- Jill Frink, Herbalist, AyurDoula Intern
"With more than 10 years work in obstetrics and family home health care, I have deep compassion for the postpartum conditions in this country. I am so pleased to be able to support women in the tremendous rejuvenation even a few days of this program provides." -- Laurel Rew, RN
