“I have got in touch with Dr Renuka as wanted to deepen my knowledge in Ayurveda. It was a fantastic journey of theoretical approach and it’s application’s in everyday life. What I liked the most is the community Dr Renu builds around her but also warm and welcoming energy of the center. When working with healing practices it is of utmost importance to offer these genuine qualities so people we work with are feeling heard, welcomed and can with full trust start their healing journey. Beside studying I did massage and body healing therapies that I can recommend highly enough. If you are looking either to deepen your knowledge or start a healing journey get in touch with Dr Renu, open your heart to her advices and have a lot of laughs along the way.”
