These are the inspiring testimonials from the Yoga community, Couchsurfing community, Travelers and Food workshop participants!
Thank you very much, I am very grateful to have shared with you guys this beautiful community that you are creating I agree with you, the food is important for our well being, mind, body and soul. I really love the idea that you have. The lunch was amazing, for many things, one you can notice the food was made with love and care, every piece I tried was delicious. The last dish with the bananas so yummy. Eating with the vibe of a beautiful community, it is a big gift!
Yoga teachers of Ostello Yoga
We appreciated the food you cooked for us, both aesthetically and tastefully, but above all we were struck by your enthusiasm for cooking and the love you put into everything! We would love to partner with you on a yoga retreat, your energy and what you cook would really matter. As Ayurveda teaches, food should be local and seasonal, so let’s imagine how much your cuisine can vary by moving to other countries and playing with other elements while maintaining the Ayurvedic approach!

Jonah is an amazing chef. Her food is delicious, everything thoughtfully prepared and plated and she brings her passion and health expertise from her previous career to the table as well. Such a sweet soul, with generous amounts of stories and information, you’ll want to invite her to share the meal with you. From the initial smells and sights, to the culinary delight in each bite, to the feeling of uplifting sattvic satisfaction, I am always grateful to be invited to Jonah’s events where she curated an environment to share and learn from one another.

Moving in with Jonah during our short stay in Mysore, we never imagined running into a kitchen fairy. Our taste buds were so spoiled! We tried her traditional Indian cuisine and WOW! Every time it was a tasteful surprise! She truly puts her heart into her cooking and the fact that she is sensitive to holistic health adds an extra touch. Thank you so so much Jonah!

Thank you for the wonderful workshop!! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. You made us feel like home. Your attention to detail while telling us the history behind the cuisines and their adaptations along with the showcasing of sourced ingredients were truly admirable. Thank you for the recipes, the excellent dinner we got to devour and your beautiful hospitality. Cannot wait to return to these workshops when I’m back in Mysore.

I am amazed how much well organized, thought and love was put into to the workshop. It was a fun hangout to prepare yummy food together in Jonah’s beautiful cozy home and share the food while getting to know each other. Funny how I learned so many new things about the Filipino food, history and culture in India even though I traveled to Philippines before. 🙂 Wish I was still around Mysore to join the next workshop!

Couchsurfing Host in Dubai
Jonah is wonderful at cooking a wide range of cuisines and all my other guests also enjoyed the food. I usually eat delivery food but I felt like I had family with them. Would definitely host again!
Couchsurfing buddy in Bhutan
Jonah is the most kind-hearted person I’ve ever met. We met in India and travelled together to Bhutan later. She has a very open mind and heart. She is also very organized and eager to learn, whether it’s to help herself or others. Her medical knowledge also saved me when I was struggling with a cold on high altitude. Even now she is always there for me and others. She is such a caring and fun person. Your life will change after meeting her and I’m grateful we met. Also, try her cooking if possible. She turns food into art!
There is something about you, a powerful healing vibe and energy, that transcends time and space. Your authenticity, integrity and passion for helping people with health issues, including your knowledge of the mind-body connection and non allopathic, alternative treatments, inspired my faith, trust and confidence in you. I know you’re also an amazing chef with impressive cooking and presentation skills! But I hope you still get to practice the healing arts, as well , since your gifts and skills in that area are also impressive and much needed in the world.

Cooking embodies a soulful journey, especially when it involves nourishing individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds. It’s a celebration of authentic human connection, characterized by the joy of sharing and nurturing one another through food. Life is too short, let’s cultivate cherished memories and embrace gratitude and kindness wholeheartedly. Every picture represents a meaningful experience that I would like to share to the world!
