What are students say about this course:
"My first course with Dr Deepa at Ayurveda Pura was 5 years ago - Ayurvedic face lift massage course. I was amazed how much of a difference this facial made to all my clients. I loved the facial course so much I returned to complete the Ayurvedic therapists course plus many more other courses, once you start learning with Dr Deepa you don’t want to stop.
Dr Deepa is truly inspirational teacher and mentor, always there to help even 5 years on."
