Hello All:
Since visiting Auroville in early 2020, I have had the extreme privilege of doing two sessions of Ayurvedic coaching with Susan.
I've lost about 7-8 pounds,... read more not being on a diet for a moment, and having more enjoyment of food than ever. I've learned to incorporate Ayurveda into Western cooking, and also learned some new simple and delicious Indian dishes that I made during quarantine.
Both my digestion and sleep dramatically improved! I also gained renewed clarity as to my purpose and direction at this point in life. Beautiful changes also occurred in my near daily asana practice.
Susan is deeply insightful, and full of knowledge presented in an easy-to-learn and non-dogmatic manner. Ayurveda is now a life-long source of wisdom and practical knowledge...integrated in my life. thank you
Susan is the real deal....no venture capitalists or slick advertising.
It is all real and from the heart.
Highly and totally recommended.

My partner and I were on the lookout for a cooking class to help us bring all the deliciousness we've been experiencing in India back home... we're so happy to... read more have stumbled upon a flyer for Susan's course!
She creates a very home-y, welcoming atmosphere and we found that there was a perfect balance between learning about Ayurvedic nutritional theory and getting to apply this new knowledge in the kitchen. The food is delicious and Susan is an awesome, really lovely person to spend the day with. We enjoyed chatting with her about her experiences in India as much as we did devouring the magical meal.
The take home information she provides (recipes, personalized dosha food charts) are great for feeling set up to apply what you've learned back home.
I feel that the course is excellent value for its price and we would 100% recommend it, especially if you're curious about Ayurveda! Thanks again, Susan!! 🙂

What a wonderful time it was to learn about Ayurveda from Susan, through her amazing Ayurvedic nutrition consulting. I've always had interest in Ayurveda, but hadn't gone much further. Now... read more I know why I felt uncomfortable after eating salad or yogurt with fruits, which I always thought as a good habit. So interesting to know my body type, which makes a lot of sense to me. Highly recommended for anyone interested 🙂
Maiyam past foods, close from her place, was also very nice. They serve amazing food based on Ayurvedic methods. I'm now even more interested in this deep ancient knowledge 🙂

Lucky me that happened upon Susan's Chai-Yurveda clinic on a short trip to Auroville. She was just that I wanted - someone to explain and guide me about how to... read more incorporate Ayurvedic dietary principles into my world.
Susan has a wealth of knowledge and obvious passion for Ayurvedic nutrition and all that it can do to improve the lives of others.

Susan is a highly knowledgeable, compassionate and infinitely realistic Ayurveda teacher. She is non-corporate and homespun to the core. Studying Ayurveda with her while in Auroville... read more and then remotely has been an immense growth experience.
Little did I know that upon leaving Auroville that the pandemic was right around the corner. When I returned home, she gave me weekly assignments (that didn't take too much time) and helped me apply practical take-aways to my life. Consequently, my health and overall outlook greatly improved. Here's how:
*Improved sleep and digestion;
*Easy, healthy, everyday recipes that leave me feeling nourished and satiated;
*Lost five pounds;
*Brighter eyes;
*Clarity as to my purpose in life, at a particular cross-roads;
*Creation of a daily routine that is doable and effective;
*An enthusiasm that everyone in my life can see.
Of course, you can learn with Susan if you are in Auroville. But, really, you can learn with her from anywhere in the world. That being said, you might just want to take off for South India....once the pandemic is over.

What a wonderful two days we had. Can’t recommend this experience with Susan highly enough. Susan herself is wonderful at imparting information and any question regardless of difficulty or otherwise... read more she answered with clarity,in a manner that you got it quite easily and supported her delivery with excellent notes. She has also so generously followed through with numerous recipes for the three Dosha together with the recipes of food we prepared and ate together over the two days by email. Over the two days Susan has given me a sound sense of what Ayurveda is about and the wonderful benefits to all areas of one’s health and whole being. Susan is passionate about her subject and the primary ingredient for her in preparing and cooking food as handed on to her from her Indian mother-in-law is LOVE. It definitely added wholesomely to both the food we cooked and shared and the time spent with Susan. She has whetted my appetite to explore the world of Ayurveda. She offers a support programme on line if one would like to further pursue and build on the few days with her. To reiterate I can’t recommend this course highly enough. Top class!
