Studying the Ayurveda Dietetics Basics Course with Dr. Amruta was truly rewarding. Even though much of the material was familiar, her teaching brought deeper clarity, logic, and insight into the essence of Ayurveda. She doesn’t just teach facts—she teaches how to think, blending classical wisdom with modern understanding. As a classically trained Vaidya with international experience, her perspective is unique and inspiring. This course has strengthened my practice, and I’m glad I didn’t skip the basics. I look forward to learning more from her.
I recently completed the Advanced Dietetics course with Amruta, and it has added a powerful new dimension to my nutrition practice. The course helped me understand how to use food more precisely to support specific health conditions. Amruta’s deep clinical knowledge and her openness in discussing real client cases made the learning experience invaluable. I’m excited to apply these insights in my clinic and highly recommend the Advanced Dietetics course to anyone wanting to refine and elevate their food-based expertise.
