I have been to amazing Ayurvedic doctors in India, and Simone was I felt just as great, I would say perhaps even better.

If you want to get your life in a great shape, go to Marin Ayurveda."

"My panchakarma experience at Marin Ayurveda was wonderful. Simone de Winter and her skilled team went out of their way to make me feel comfortable—extending well beyond the call of duty. Simone is highly intuitive and deeply steeped in Ayrurvedic wisdom. Among other insights, she cleared up some long-held misconceptions I had about the cause of and right treatment for some chronic skin issues of mine. My skin itself has cleared up too.

The experience was far more profound than I'd anticipated, both physically and emotionally, and Simone guided me gently through all of it. I emerged lighter, brighter, stronger and deeply nourished. Months later, I still feel the effects and have changed some habits for the better. I will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend the experience." - A. Elder, Oakland

"Simone de Winter is an excellent practitioner of the healing arts of Ayurveda. She meets, and even exceeds, the standards of treatments set by leaders in this field.

Every step of the treatment she does with great care and precision. While she has mastered traditional techniques and procedures, her work is informed by a sensitivity and responsiveness which goes beyond normal expectations of professionalism. She embodies the highest level of attention and caring for her client.

Simone's knowledge of the field is extensive. Herbs, massage techniques, healthy diet, yoga philosophy and meditation are all deeply familiar to her. Her ability to integrate methodical study and practice with a listening, compassionate approach is one of her strong points.

Drawing on all the aspects of Ayurveda, she seeks to understand the wholeness of the person with whom she works, and thus tunes her treatment and her counsel to their particular needs.
I heartily recommend her work in the ancient art of healing." - Stuart, San Rafael, CA

"I did a 3 week Panchakarma with Marin Ayurveda.  It was amazing, I learned so much about my specific body type, what goes on at my age and the different ways to eat depending on my dosha and the time of year.  Simone and Anna are so intuitive and I could tell they were right on compared to what other practitioners had told me.  I now know how to cleanse w/ kitcherie and vegetables and I add that to my diet frequently, as well as oiling my body and getting to sleep earlier.  All of the treatments were so caring and the food delicious!  I look forward to doing it again this spring." - Nancy, Larkspur, CA

She was great in providing all the information that we needed, including a whole textbook of yummy healthy recipes, detailed descriptions of procedures and guidelines. The herbs, oils and instructions she gave us were custom tailored to our personal needs. She took great care of us and checked in with us regularly so we felt really safe and supported.

We highly recommend her as a practitioner and as a person." - Sarit, San Anselmo, CA
