Kat Cameron
"I just completed FOOD AS MEDICINE.
With Dr Carmen Chornell .
I was wary of a group format - feeling raw & anxious .
I'm so glad I took the leap .
Dr Chornell was so welcoming and kind , the group very supportive .
I loved the zoom format - I could attend from home, in my safe comfy space , with my tea .
The information taught by Dr Chornell, was in a very Digestible format (😆) and far exceeded my expectations ....each week a different topic that is science based ,
blended with compassion , and a holistic perspective .
I learned so much .
I have slowly implemented healthy changes , adding in healing foods , eliminating others , listening to my body , choosing foods that will bring me more vitality , rebuild my health.
Im loving and accepting my body more .
I'm feeling less pain and inflammation .
Best medical support I have ever experienced.
And covered by MSP.
So accessible to all .
Highly recommended."

"I just finished my prenatal classes with Dr.Layton and I can’t say enough good things! She was so informative and full of knowledge related to pregnancy, labor and birth. I feel more confident now going into labor and birthing my baby in less than 3 weeks (hopefully)! She is always open to answering any questions no matter how small and never makes you feel embarrassed or silly for asking. Highly recommend these classes through Garuda Centre! Dr.Layton and this facility do an amazing job with education and providing classes for new and soon to be moms! Thank you so much again Dr.Layton!"

"I just completed the class Re-start group for stress (covered 100 percent by msp) and it was fantastic! It definitely exceeded my expectations. The group is small (8 to 10 people), which is great to encourage everyone's participation. Breathing techniques and understanding stress are the main topics. Respectful environment. Love it! Thank you very much."
