Testimonials of Our Students
Diet and Lifestyle Course Participant
„The 1st level Diet & Lifestyle course was a wonderful introduction to two key components of Tibetan Medicine. Despite having trained extensively in Western approaches to health and nutrition, this course has had a significant impact on how I view these subjects. It’s quite amazing just how holistic this system is, it’s given me a much more integrated view of how to work with diet and behavior. By starting to understand the systems of the elements and constitutions, I’ve been given a new lens through which to view everything I’ve learned before.”
