Past students talk about studying with Ysha
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
"Thank you most of all for sharing such depth and beauty of understanding this sacred time, and the power of right nourishment for postpartum mothers." -- Tovia Safford, Ayurvedic Health Educator
