Testimonials:

My week long Ayurveda retreat led by Dee was so much more than an introduction to Ayurvedic practices.  Under her skilled guidance I was able to gently self-examine and begin to reacquaint myself with spiritual and emotional connections I had been ignoring for some time.  In our small group of 3, our days were full of learning, adopting a healthy daily routine, beautiful morning yoga classes, ceremonies, dancing, painting and laughter.  Dee’s Ayurvedic massages were therapeutic and helped me with specific issues with arthritis in my knees and hips.  I feel blessed that I chose this retreat – Dee led every moment with such great care and thoughtful intention.  Her vast knowledge of Ayurveda and years of practice steeped the entire week…all the teaching moments, side conversations and therapeutic sessions.  I am so grateful I started 2020 and the new decade in this way, thank you for everything Dee.

I just want to say my girlfriend and I had an amazing time at Villa Sumaya. From the food, to the staff, the beautiful property with amazing lake views and beautiful sunsets. We did an Ayurveda yoga retreat with Dee. Dee was first class in her methods of teaching and just had a way us from the beginning. She got me to open up in ways I never have before and to basically peel back layers necessary for progress in our relationship. Not to mention her Ayurvedic massages are to die for! I definitely will look forward to going back soon. It’s the perfect place to rest, reset and gather your thoughts in today’s busy world. Special thanks to the Villa Sumaya team for an unforgettable time.

Hi Dee, Thank you, thank you, thank you for one of the best weeks of my life. You were like an angel in disguise coming into my life at this time. I have been so unwell for so long, I had forgotten what it was like to get the body moving again.
Thank you for your patience, love your passion for the Ayurveda system. You are a fantastic teacher with such compassion and non-judgement. I couldn’t have had anyone better than to prepare me for the next part of my life’s journey. Love and Blessing.
