What Past Participants Say...
"I felt so supported"
When the opportunity arose to receive panchakarma in India with Ivy, it was a no-brainer as the idea had been on my mind for years. And now I know my treatment would have been so very different had I been on my own.
I can’t imagine having done it without Ivy’s guidance and support, not to mention the bedrock of her deeply steeped wisdom in and personal experience of Ayurveda generally and panchakarma specifically.
Her love and care were essential to my sometimes-challenging cleansing and healing stay and remained impactful long after treatment. It is obvious how rooted and respected she is in the Vaidyagrama community, so by extension I felt especially held under her umbrella.
I also felt so supported by the larger circle of attentive doctors and therapists, as well as fellow patients. If you are ever going to do panchakarma in India, this is the place and the way to do it — with Ivy’s unconditional and unwavering support.
