Testimonials
"I participated in your marma workshop and a couple of the drop in mentor group sessions last year. I'm teaching Ayurvedic cooking classes and self care at an inpatient and outpatient recovery center in San Diego. Today, I introduced the groups to marma and we played with the grounding and nervous system sequences. The participants LOVED it and gave feedback about which sequence they would take with them and practice ongoing. I also practiced a little with them and felt SO MUCH calmer afterward.
I'm writing this to tell you that the impact of your sharing is rippling all over the place. And that I'm so grateful for your offering." Emily R., 2024
“Thank you Amadea for …your part in the absolutely wonderful, delightful workshop. Your beautiful energy radiated what I needed to hear. I am back on track on a healthy diet & have gained courage to do what I have wanted to do for a long time, using the polarity work with clients." Susan B., 2016
“I completed my Ayurvedic Lifestyle Certification (750 hours) at Kripalu last year. The courses I took from you, Amadea, were a perfect mix of review and new information that helped to make the completion of the 750 hour course much easier. Thanks… Your courses are wonderful.” Brenda D., 2011
