Vishnu is so kind, knowledgeable, generous, helpful and supportive. He spent time with me walking me through the process, and ensuring the I felt supported. Wendy and Mitsy, I cannot say enough about them. They are both so gentle, kind, caring, and I felt so safe with them. I felt as though I could really let go and allow the healing to take place. During Panchakarma Vishnu provides you with food for the day and your herbs. You have plenty to eat and the food is tasty. I never felt as if I needed anything. Vishnu makes himself available to you by text or email, and sometimes he just picks up the phone. I am so grateful to all of them for my time there and my experience. I feel so amazing and I know it's just the beginning of a new journey. If you have not tried Ayurveda for your healing journey, do it!!! Vishnu had over 20 years of experience. My first appointment was Virtual. The drive to Asheville is beautiful but if you cannot make it I am sure that he can accommodate you. I will definitely be going back.

I've consulted Marek at about each season change this year, and he's helped me a lot with issues I…read morehad for years (especially eczema, body temperature regulation, and energy level, but I also noticed other things such as my hair & skin quality, gum health and overall shape improving). I can tell that I've grown healthier this year thanks to his help. I feel inspired to do better after each session. I also appreciate that he adapts the recommendations to what I actually feel able to do. I highly recommend him!

I've never had a healthcare practitioner go into such detail of my health issues and history. Everything is tailored specifically to my life and my constitution. It is reassuring to know that he cares about my wellbeing! I highly recommend Living Alchemy! The space is comfortable. He tries to keep the costs down as much as possible, and makes the herbal formulas in a timely manner. There is a parking lot next to the building.

During a few sessions with Salomé, I stopped thinking of her as just a wonderful therapist and came to know her as a caring, trustworthy, and knowledgeable friend.

I can't even begin to describe how relieving that was to my nervous system after scores of practitioners, Western and non-western, who failed to incorporate my whole being in the care they offered me. She's kind and compassionate while being straightforward. She knows her shit and will tell you when she thinks someone else has expertise better suited to you. She's sharp as a tack and discerning as a hummingbird (not sure why that bird comparison came to me). She's gone through her own health journey too and you can feel that in her compassion and her willingness to journey with you in yours. And she has the greatest laugh. (For transparency, we were friends before we started working together, and she navigated that expansion in our friendship with the utmost grace. She's artist and scientist in one.)
