"I have had the grace and blessing of doing 2 Pancha Karma’s with Kim and Terrel. They are both exceptional practitioners, healers, cooks and care givers. Their knowledge of Ayurveda runs very deep and combined with their loving hearts it is phenomenal to be in their care. My experience with them was life changing and deeply healing. I wholly and highly recommend them both."
