  • “I am grateful to feel so supported in my health journey with Elham.

    She clearly has an incredible knowledge base that she brings with her holistic approach to health and well-being, which makes me feel confident as she guides me and is able to meet my specific individualised needs! - Anna V.

  • “Elham is a wonderful practitioner and an amazing teacher.

    I have had the pleasure of being her student of Ayurveda and also observing her in session during the student clinics at Pacific Rim College. I am so thankful for the opportunities I have had to learn from Elham. Her heart-centred approach to holistic health is refreshing and inspiring.” - Dylan C.

  • “For the last 10 years, I’ve been told by dermatologists that I had a chronic auto immune disorder that I had to live with.

    I used all sorts of creams and injections, but my skin condition didn’t improve. My dermatologist didn’t want to see me again. In a last effort to find a cure, I reached out to Elham. I saw results immediately. Today, after a year of following Elham’s protocol, my skin is the best it’s ever been. Thanks, Elham!” - Badiro L.

  • “Thank you for your passion, animation and creativity in bringing the foundational logic of Ayurveda to life

    The workshop ended way too soon. You are such a gifted teacher and I have learned a lot not just about the application of Ayurveda in Yoga Therapy but also in how to break down complex topics and engage learners in a way that makes the material feel multi dimensional and almost palpable. I look forward to future learning with you.” - Anna C.

  • “Loved Elham’s beautiful energy

    and humour in teaching. She created a very engaging and safe space and made the workshop very interactive and not dry at all. The way she built on all these principles was so well taught and I really felt supported in understanding all the breaking down of these principles. The idea of taking preventative actions rather than waiting until we are sick makes so much more sense to me and exploring this in sessions and my daily practice will be very helpful. ” - Isabelle T.

  • “Thankfully Victoria has a practitioner like this.

    Elham is available to people with health concerns in her clinics and also to people who wish to learn Ayurveda approach to health and healing through Pacific Rim College. Thank you for all of the sharing you so thoughtfully offer. I am looking forward to understanding more of your perspectives as time goes along. THANK YOU!!” - Moira C.

  • “I had three consultations with Elham. She is knowledgeable,

    not only in nutrition but also in TCM and very realistic. She works with you as an individual within your limitations. She is very inspiring, cheerful and kind. Her practical recommendation has always to the point of what one needs and very helpful. I adore her.” - Jeanne K.

  • “Elham was so authentic. She brought so much joy, passion and connection to these ancient teachings.

    Elham offered so much energy and unconditional positive regard for all participants. I will take many points from this workshop into my life. She gave heart and encouraged connection. She made sure the space remained safe for all. She was non-prescriptive and open to all options of seeing things.” - Melissa B.
