Client Testimonials
“I have followed the principles of Ayurveda for over twenty years, but it wasn’t until meeting Stefanie that these principles shifted to becoming practices in my daily life. She has named her business so very perfectly: Approachable Ayurveda brings these ancient truths into our modern world, and my long-held dreams of Panchakarma in Kerala became something I didn’t need to leave my home for! Further, the practices have continued on well after the cleanse ended, and the intention-setting before meals has brought my awareness to a slower self at least three times a day. Quite the feat for a Mum of young ones. Thank you Stefanie for your practical realism, and making my Pitta season sooooo much more balanced.”
-Angela, Winemaker & Owner
“When I began the cleanse I thought I was already eating very well and had incorporated enough self care into my daily routine. Once I started I realized how much cleaner I could be eating and how much self care in all aspects of my life had to be incorporated further. It has been eye opening. I feel light and strong, and am so happy with the 7 pounds I lost. I think this would be a perfect start to every season.”
-Margie, Yoga Instructor & Wellness Mentor
“For years I had entertained the idea of doing some sort of detox or cleanse. Excuses, life, job, family and time all seemed to get in the way until finally at the end of 2022, I had enough of not feeling my best and knew I was ready to take the leap. I had some friends who had worked with Stefanie and I saw really powerful improvements in their overall health and well-being. I signed up for a January program and it's the best thing I did for myself to start the new year off in a very profound way. Working with Stefanie is an absolute delight. She is supportive, realistic, encouraging, passionate, powerful and fun. "Approachable" is the perfect name for this program because that is 100% what it is. I was able to do this while working and raising my 2 young boys. She doesn't want it to be a suffer-fest but something that will empower you, reset your system and give you the tools to be the best version of yourself. After the program came to a close, I had honestly never felt clearer, calmer or more energized. My skin never looked better and I appreciated how my clothes hung on me after the indulgence of the holidays. Through out the year when I have felt an onset of brain fog, fatigue or just needed to reset again, I reference my program notes and get back on track. There are also pieces that I have incorporated into my daily life that are so simple yet effective. It is a beautiful gift to give yourself. I am so grateful for Stefanie and her passion to give us the tools to find our best and most balanced self. “

“Approachable Ayurveda changed my life. I was blown away that by resetting my nervous system, I was able to witness visible & physical drastic improvements (significant weight lost and anti inflammatory effects). As a longtime cardio junky, I was mesmerized that I could actually be soft, gentle, prayfull and restful AND be in the best shape and spirits of my life. Eating to my dosha and putting hard and fast fixes on the back burner for a period of time did my soul, body and mind good. Starting in the mornings with gratitude and enthusiasm for my life and day ahead of me ~ TY Stefanie for introducing me to your powerful program.”
-Jackie, Pilates Principal & Teacher
“I started out looking for a program that would help me lose the holiday weight and get back in shape. What I found with Stefanie was so much more. Through her Ayurveda program I not only lost more weight than I have ever lost in the month of January but more importantly I was mentally strong. I felt healthy, happy and fit. Stefanie was so patient and encouraging and would do frequent check ins to ensure I was getting the most out of the cleanse. We made some tweaks along the way which impacted my ability to stay strong throughout the entire cleanse. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to be both physically and mentally the best version of yourself.”
-Kim, Chief Sales Officer
“I just completed the 21 Day Cleanse and found it to be a rewarding experience. I learned a different way to eat along with new mindful practices. The time frame allowed me to get comfortable with changes and develop new habits. It reaffirmed my belief in self-care as an important part of living a balanced life.”
