“Dr. Z opened the door to Ayurveda for me.”
I had the great privilege and pleasure of being introduced to the magic of Ayurvedic principles by the wonderful and gifted Dr Z, whilst she was hosting a retreat in South Africa.
Dr Z had seven days to teach us the principals of Ayurvedic practices, which I truly have come to know as a never ending process of learning and discovery, in those 7 days Dr Z through her absolute passion opened a door for me which had remained wide open ever since. My own growth and discovery led me to doing a full Panchakarma in India, an experience which shall remain forever etched into my soul.
I am so grateful to Dr Z for opening this door to mental, emotional, and spiritual health for me.

“Zohreh changed my life.”
When I met Zohreh my body and spirit were in an overwhelming state of fight or flight. I was pushing myself incredibly hard to perform in the workspace and not nourishing my body properly. I was carrying extra weight but eating healthy salads smoothies and fats all the time. Despite being “health conscious” I felt so unhealthy and uncomfortable in my skin. As soon as I had a session with Zohreh, she instantly tapped right into the deep inner workings of why my body was in the state it was in and how my emotional / psychological space was impacting me. It is very disarming and so reassuring to have somebody you barely know be able to see your spirit so clearly. Zohreh is a kind and just healer - she is patient and highly perceptive. Her knowledge of the ancient art of Ayurveda runs deep and her commitment to upholding the integrity of the historical and highly effective means of healing is felt in her sessions. Zohreh changed my life - through her sessions, meal plans, guidelines, and healing remedies she helped me move blocks that have been hindering my path to self-love and acceptance in a way nobody else before her could. If you are looking to change your life and to step into full healing and self-love, Zohreh will take you there.

“Ayurveda put me back together.”
In September of 2022, I had a life-altering accident. I fell 20 m off a mountain and broke my back, neck, hip, arm, knee, and shoulder. I had major lacerations all over my body and I had damaged my liver greatly as well. I lay in ICU without the faintest idea as to whether I’d be able to walk again. My body was fighting to stay alive and regenerate itself and western medicine was all around me. Zohreh had been my Doctor for over a year at that stage and when she heard of my accident she immediately sent a list of guidelines to my family and friends of what to feed me and what herbs to give me to ease some of the pain and discomfort I was feeling. I was in a hospital space for 2 months waiting for my spine to fuse and slowly learning to walk again. During this time droves of loved ones would walk into the hospital with containers of kitcheri :) dietitians from the hospital would come and see me and I would teach them about Ayurveda or tell them to speak to my Ayurvedic Doctor Zohreh if they wanted to know how to feed me.
I had felt the immense change that having a person like Zohreh in one’s life can have and I knew she would know how to help my body and my spirit during this time. Ayurveda and Western medicine were combined to encourage my healing thanks to Zohreh. It took me 4 months to get my body up and running again and in month 5 after many issues in my gut from taking very high dosages of painkillers I did a cleanse with Roha and this was the last beautiful shift I needed to feel like I had in some way managed to come back to myself.
I was in pieces after the accident, I had no idea whether I would be able to be in the world again in a “normal” way or be able to participate in life the way that I would want to. Zohreh held my hand through all of it, she showered me in care and love, and guidance and ultimately helped put me back together. My gratitude to her is boundless, I feel unbelievably grateful to have her in my life as a healer and as a person. She held my hand as I was fighting to rebuild myself. She is a personification of love - endlessly able to hold and heal and she is an agent of change in the lives of everyone she meets. I am a better version of myself having met Zohreh and I will never stop thanking her for changing my life the way that she has.

“It is with a full heart of joy that I recommend you get started now!”
I first found Debby in 2016 when I had been suffering from a debilitating illness for four years. No doctor was able to help me and I was miserable, barely able to work, and unable to live a full life. I can truly testify that she is a gifted healer. Her gentle approach, herbal treatments and ayurvedic bodywork gave me my life back! No price can be placed on the blessings of Debby’s guidance towards good physical, mental and spiritual health. Although I am not a yoga teacher, I have over the years taken most of her training workshops---ayurvedic and yoga and breathwork. It’s hard to change a lifetime of habits and un-do the things that have happened to you. But if you are practicing change within a community of people such as Debby creates, it is possible to create---and live---the life you choose. It is with a full heart of joy that I recommend you get started now!

“Working with Debby has changed our lives for the better!”
Both my husband and I have worked with Debby for almost 10 years. She has led us through our yoga journey to include multiple spring and fall cleanses, the development of our yoga practice and Ayurvedic lifestyle, and 200/300 hour yoga teacher trainings. She has been, and continues to be, a true teacher. Working with Debby has changed our lives for the better!

“What I love about Ayurveda though is that I finally feel that I'm doing the right thing for my body and for my mind.”
I started working with Zohreh because I wanted to have a baby. I have PCOS and insulin resistance so I had a lot of fears if it's going to happen.
What I can tell is that healing is not just healing your body but letting go of emotional resistance. In one of our sessions, I had such a healing conversation with Zohreh. She just asked the right questions and truly listened to me. As I was sitting there, I felt a huge emotional relief. Believe it or not, I got pregnant 1.5 weeks later and now I have a happy and healthy little boy. I'm giving her huge credit for being able to conceive and I'm truly grateful for that. She helped me throughout my pregnancy and the postpartum period as well.
Besides this, she is such a sweetheart! Her center is really beautiful and calming. I love abhyanga and I always feel great after it. Zohreh is giving clear and easy guidelines on how to follow an Ayurvedic lifestyle. You can also share your struggles with her and she is ready to come up with a solution on how to make it easier. She cares about her community and is trying to teach people how to have more joy in their lives. I can't recommend her enough!!
What I love about Ayurveda though is that I finally feel that I'm doing the right thing for my body and for my mind. It's not a new fancy diet plan, it's just what you really need. Give it a try, you won't regret it!!

“I’d follow Dr. Z around the world to attend her retreats.”
Dr. Z has been instrumental in guiding me onto a path of a more Ayurvedic inspired life. She has real clarity in the way she teaches and through that weaves these ancient Ayurveda concepts into very accessible tools for todays living. Her generous spirit, humour + kindness are lovely bonuses to being taught by Dr. Z. I’d follow her around the world to attend her retreats!

“I can think of no better investment in my health than to see Zohreh.”
Healing, in any facet of being, is a challenging journey and I feel blessed to have found Zohreh to assist me in mine. I can think of no better investment in my health and well-being than to see Zohreh for health assessments and treatments on a regular basis. Zohreh is kind and nurturing. As a practitioner, she is attentive and knowledgeable. I am happy to be working with her and confident that you will be too.
