My only regret is not finding Harmony and this course earlier!
I was looking to develop my very basic knowledge of Ayurveda, but I was hesitant to spend a lot of money on yet another course I was never going to use.
I was also wanting something that would complement my current essential oil business, so was really looking for something a bit more in-depth than a beginner’s course. A friend recommended Harmony, and it was such a gift! Everything was aligned, it was just meant to be!
This course teaches and respects the ancient practices and how to apply them in today’s world. The classes are fun, informative and engaging.
One of the major benefits has been the other students and the knowledge they also bring to the class. The portal is filled with great resources and is easy to use, and the dedicated Facebook page is great for discussion and questions. There are also guest speakers bringing their experience and expertise to share.
Harmony teaches in a way that is relatable and her energy is so contagious! She is knowledgeable and caring and goes above and beyond to make it a great learning experience.
My only regret is not finding Harmony and this course earlier!
Embody Ayurveda and add value to your practice!
I really recommend [this course] to anybody who’s looking to increase their knowledge but also increase their own physical and mental wellbeing. It’ll do nothing but add value to your clients
