Testimonials

As someone who comes from a family deeply associated with Ayurvedic treatment and therapy, I was on the lookout for an efficiently managed Ayurvedic clinic. Fortunately, I found Lakshmi Ayurveda, on the internet. When I spoke to Karin and her team, instantly I knew that I was at the right place. My search had finally led me to the most experienced, professional team of Ayurvedic practitioners in Perth, Australia. Karin is very knowledgeable, totally focused and thorough in all the aspects of Ayurvedic treatment. The fact that despite her busy schedule, Karin offers appointments over the phone and online is very helpful for those who are at work through the day. Her precise analysis and consultation are very effective always. Wherever you reside in Australia, you could consult Karin online from your location and get the Ayurvedic herbs couriered to you. Congratulations and best wishes to Karin and her team for their splendid work going from strength to strength!

My journey began when I first attended the clinic following a life-threatening illness. From that very first consultation with Karin, my perspective on life and health was completely transformed. Inspired by her wisdom, I eventually became both an Ayurveda practitioner and a yoga instructor.

Recently, I experienced another transformative Panchakarma treatment that made me feel as though I'd reccouped five years of my life. The team of incredible ladies - provided unparalleled care, making every visit a truly healing experience.

I felt well-looked after every step of the way. It was my very first panchakarma (PK) and I was learning so much new information. Karin is warmly welcoming and very generous in sharing her wisdom. The therapists who I lovingly received treatments from were like my 'relaxation fairies' peacefully and quietly guiding me and indulging me, I felt like such a queen! I'm glad I chose to do PK here instead of travelling overseas for PK, because I now feel better skilled in integrating some healthful new Ayurvedic behaviours into my everyday life.

The course feels authentic and honest, I feel safe receiving feedback and have felt encouraged and supported. I would recommend and have been inspired by the course - I have been deeply reminded of the power of Ayurveda and to be honest had lost my way a little over the last few years with my studies. I feel energised and inspired to redirect my focus back on my own health and to Ayurveda. Thank you. It is and has felt like an absolute privilege to be here this week.

Jaimee, Abhyanga Course April 2025

After 3 weeks of guided preparation at home and 2.5 weeks treatment at the clinic, I felt completely detoxified. In recent years, I had to take a lot of medication due to several autoimmune diseases, which led to side effects such as weight gain, brain fog, fatigue syndrome, body pains and high blood pressure.

After the treatment, my blood pressure was in the normal range, my concentration had significantly improved, and my fatigue has lessened. MY mobility also improved noticeably. The team at Lakshmi Ayurveda is amazing - very empathetic and highly competent. I am very grateful for the experience. This treatment has greatly enhanced my well-being, and I am very thankful for it. Thank you Karin & whole Lakshmi team!! Love to you all form cold Germany - I miss you and Lakshmi Ayurveda. I hope to see you again soon. I will definitely be back.

Marion from Germany. December 2024

for another excellent Panchakarma.

I received care and attention both at the clinic and at home, to support me during my PK. The programme was tailored to my needs and now, after a week having completed it, I still feel a million dollars. Everyone involved with me was fabulous and attentive.

The ambiance at the clinic is very warm and welcoming, and conducive to renewing body, mind and spirit. Karin has an extensive knowledge of all things Ayurveda and is always willing to share her knowledge with me, for which I am grateful.

Once again, thank you to everyone. I look forward to more in the future.

full of wisdom. Karin is so generous with her knowledge and the team is so friendly and welcoming. I have learnt so much and can't wait to come back for more.

Phoebe 2024

the initial one. Absolutely, undoubtedly one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Helped me so much and tuaght me different and new ways of doing things. Every day, I still incorporate some of those practices into my daily routine. Will always be grateful for meeting you, Karin.

HB September 2024

Karin's expert guidance and training flows through to the therapists (in this case Alice, who gave a beautiful treatment). The abhyanga massage followed by the steam box is deeply nourishing experience. Be sure to have nothing planned afterwards so that you are able to rest.

It was SOO lovely! Roberta is caring and made me feel comfortable and peaceful. I always have cold hands and feet so for me the hot bundles felt deeply relaxing with the cherry on top - the smell of the lemons in the room. I'm grateful I've experienced this treatment and will book some more!

Maria

so patiently and passionately about Ayurveda. The pure joy and fascination and trust of her in Ayurveda is fully inspirational. I can't believe we all learned a tool within 4 days together we can literally share with the world now. Hope to be back for more training in the future and actually use this in my life.

IThank you to Karin, Marta and Lance for such a lovely and welcoming visit. The thought and detail that has gone into the facility is truly beyond words. The traditional nature of the treatments are very special. I couldn’t recommend a visit to the centre highly enough. I will be back, and also spreading the word far and wide. It is clear Lakshmi is a place of heart and soul!

– E.A. July 2023

Thank you. I had my second massage at Lakshmi Ayurveda yesterday. So I have now met two of their lovely staff. Both have been skilled, professional and the whole experience was wonderful. Relaxing and restorative. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

– Sarah P. December 2022

Over the past year, I have been having regular consultations with Sam and Karin and their wisdom and knowledge truly changed my life! I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the treatments and professionalism of the team at Lakshmi Ayurveda.

I also had the chance to participate in several workshops and training and have learned so much from Karin. Ayurveda has become part of my daily life and I am very grateful I found this wonderful sanctuary! I truly recommend this little oasis of peace and serenity!

– Anais October 2022

Everyone can benefit from Ayurveda! Karin and her team @ Lakshmi are there to educate and guide both clients and students in a nurturing and practical way. After having a consultation, treatment or studying a course you will experience the benefits of Ayurveda directly. If you are looking for answers for your health I highly recommend Karin and her staff.

– T.S. October 2022

The course is fantastic. Karin is a wonderful teacher. The theory was interesting and we had plenty of opportunities to practice what we learnt. I am looking forward to seeing where this course can lead.

– Karen. Abhyanga Course Participant October 2022

I am so happy with the service I have received from Karin and her team at Lakshmi Ayurveda.
Over the last 6 months, Karin has listened to my needs and has guided me in a professional manner, helping me achieve my health goals. I feel in very safe hands and am grateful to my friend Tracey for recommending Lakshmi Ayurveda.

– T.D September 2022

I not so long ago completed a Panchakarma treatment with Karin at Lakshmi Ayurveda Perth. It was for some time I was wanting to undergo the treatment but put it of for a few years due to COVID and living interstate. As we recently moved to WA there was no reason not to book in and complete the treatment so found myself setting dates with Karin. My symptoms were poor digestion, back pain, inflammation, brain fog typical for me a 50+year old Australian male.

Karin and her wonderful team helped me through the process with all of them sharing their unique qualities to produce a most incredible experience while at the same time nurturing my body and mind back to a healthy state of being.

Id like to genuinely thank Karin, Kelsey, Sam and their team for the professional and caring treatment and highly recommend them for anyone thinking of improving their quality of life.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

– Andrew July 2022

My integrative GP recommended Lakshmi to me about 1 year ago and I’m so grateful for the recommendation. After a number of surgeries, I was unable to eat anything other than rice bubbles and soba noodles.

Under the guidance of Kelsey and Karin, I am now eating nourishing Ayurvedic meals that have not only helped heal my gut but also given me incredible clarity of mind. The gut/mind connection is so powerful.

The Lakshmi team, as well as the Lakshmi premises, are inviting and welcoming. It is always a pleasure to see Alice and Roberta in reception. I leave my consults feeling relaxed, grounded and calm.

I also highly recommend the Abhyanga massages at Lakshmi. It is the most calming and stress relieving treatment I have ever received…the steam at the end of the treatment is heavenly! I find it so relaxing that I decided to complete my Abhyanga massage therapist training in June 2022. Karin conducted the training and is an exceptional trainer. The course content was thorough and insightful and Karin delivers the training in a fun and inspiring way. The other participants were lovely and it was a relaxing 4 days spent in the tranquillity of the Lakshmi community.

Thank you Kelsey, Karin and the Lakshmi team.

– Sarah July 2022

The Abhyanga course exceeded my expectations. From Day 1 I really felt there was a lot of valuable knowledge shared, and it made me realise the importance of the theory side with regards to the history and fundamentals, where it began and why.

I feel that Karin really gave a lot of knowledge and I really loved the extra areas that were covered which I have always wanted to learn more about tuning forks and the energetic side, and how the role of the therapist really comes together.

I loved learning the traditional way, and more techniques to clear the space and set up the room. I have got a lot of value out of it and feel very grateful to have been able to come!

– J. June 2022

I highly recommend attending a training course at Lakshmi. I recently attended the Abhyanga Massage Training Course and it exceeded all my hopes and expectations. It was an amazing training course! The content, hand-on learning experience, professionalism, and warmth shown by Karin and the Lakshmi team was above and beyond any training course I have previously attended. Karin is an exceptional and inspiring trainer and the other participants were amazing too.

I feel rejuvenated and refreshed after spending 4 days with Karin and the Lakshmi community. My mum thinks I look 5 years younger and my frown line has completely disappeared!! I have also made wonderful friendships with the other participants.

Thank you, Karin and the Lakshmi team. I look forward to attending more courses soon!

– Sarah June 2022

I recently completed a panchakarma program at Lakshmi Ayurveda in Fremantle and it has been the most wonderful experience. As a regular client of Karin and her team, I continue to be amazed by their care and attention to detail. The cleanse has been incredible and allowed me to reconnect with my body following the birth of my child in 2020. I will definitely do it again next spring and continue with other nurturing treatments in the meantime. Ayurveda has become a way of life for me and I never felt better. My gratitude to you, dear Karin.

– J.B. January 2022

Today is my 14th day into my Panchakarma at Lakshmi Ayurveda and I feel amazing already 

It is such an amazing process. I feel blessed to be able to do this for myself.

Thank you Karin and your team for all the care provided.

– France January 2022

I have completed two panchakarma treatments with Lakshmi Ayurveda, and I can honestly say that each time the process has been life-changing.

I felt supported and empowered throughout the entire process and have a whole new relationship with my body and my health as a result.

I would highly recommend undergoing panchakarma with Lakshmi Ayurveda – truly a gift!

– E. September 2022

Studying at Lakshmi Ayurveda has been a beautiful experience. Karin’s reverence for classical Ayurveda, teaching of Sanskrit and authentic protocols has been incredibly inspiring.

– Lucy. November 2021

Visiting Lakshmi has been the best decision I have ever done for my health. Karin is a wonderful, kind and knowledgeable practitioner, who always provides assistance and empowerment with any health concern.

Lakshmi has assisted with a whole range of long lasting issues such as IBS, Endometriosis, Chronic fatigue, Allergies & skin concerns, I always feel grateful to have the personal advice on the ‘Science of Life’ from Karin & the Lakshmi team.

My life has changed in so many ways after visiting the clinic for the past 2 years and I’m so happy to have Karin & the team who have assisted me so much with healing and balance. Highly recommend Panchakarma at the clinic, as well as the luxurious treatments that really benefit the body and mind.

If you want a holistic, meaningful and effective approach to wellness you will not regret visiting Lakshmi.
