What Our Clients Say
My experience was of a cooling sensation, the moment the buttermilk was poured slowly on my forehead. This went on and on until I fell asleep. They then gave me a concoction prepared from Amla (Indian Gooseberry) to wash the buttermilk from my hair. The experience “converted” me. I had Ayurvedic treatments years ago — the pouring of warm herbal oil on the forehead (Sirodhara), and Abhyanga massages — but this Takradhara treatment made me feel a significant difference.

I got attracted to Shanti Ayurveda at a time where I was thinking of another way to lose weight and to get healthier after doing Pilates workout for two years. Upon hearing that I would be getting a massage every session as a way to reach my goals, I was already daydreaming. So then, I finished my program with 6lbs. less, rhinitis improved, bowel movement better and skin all over smoother.
All derived from the natural ingredients being massaged on my skin!

When I finished the three-day treatment at the Shanti Ayurveda Center in Xavierville Ave., I noticed that I felt stronger, healthier calmer, and more centered. They also offer 3-,7-,14-, and 21-day programs to help you detoxify your body and achieve the mind and spirit balance you need. I can only imagine what that feels like. Ayurveda’s approach is holistic. Their aim is to cleanse and balance all the forces within us with the Universe. It is both a practical and spiritual approach to healing.

We are so lucky that Ayurvedic treatments are now available here in the Philippines. It is such a blessing to those who give their health a priority… and what could be more important- right? Thank you Sona & Dr. Gibsy for facilitating it here in our country!!!

I can’t say enough about my visit to Shanti Ayurveda. It was recommended by Fr Jerin my Indian friend priest, who only heard how good the Detoxification and Wellness Clinic is at Shanti Ayurveda! Dr Gibsy Sanjeevi George was very informative and without any effort or push I was encouraged to sign up. Right away I signed up after the first assessment and interview! To sum it up…the twenty years that I was taking western medication for hi uric acid, hi cholesterol, hi sugar and HBP these were amazingly “wiped out” by the 21 days Ayurvedic Treatment! I had my blood work done after 2 weeks from the 21 days treatment and the results elated my doctor. I informed her that I went for Ayurvedic Treatment. Her response … to continue whatever Im doing good for myself! It’s been 5 months since and my blood work still shows normal level for all. It helps to cooperate with Dr Gibsy. Treatment and healing works best with patient and doctor working together. You can’t expect magic to happen just by going to the clinic for your sessions. There are friendly healthy rules easy to follow when you go home. I thank Shanti Ayurveda and Dr Gibsy for giving me a new lease in life at my age of 75! I can dance, walk and wiggle and many have said I’m looking younger, relaxed and refreshed !

I came here feeling sick and with bad skin disease, eczema. I feel like this treatment really put me in touch with my body, to point where I feel like I know what foods I need to avoid. I’m excited about coming months and what will come from this and I look forward to coming back again in another 6 months from now to do another Panchakarma. Thank you so much to the caring doctor and people serving me over the last 18 days.

As a worker with difficulties to breath normally and inconveniences with my thyroid, after serious injuries in my lungs, I didn’t expect that I could continue to live well with those difficulties. Seeking a way to get a better physical condition, I decided to try a more natural way instead to believe only in medicine tablets.
Finally, not so many ways with proofs other than Ayurveda, so let’s try.
After attentive listening and many questions, Doctor Gibsy suggested a 10 days Panchakarma treatment.
After my 2nd day, I feel a real difference in my breathing and it improved every day. Breathing good is good life too, pain on my joints, knees, and hips disappeared, my sleep became deep, no dyspnea anymore, when I climb stairs quickly, my breathing now is calm, deep and with strength, flexibility is improved, I feel light and calm.
For sure a complete lifestyle following Ayurveda might change your life nature and knowledge brought by this life philosophy is the right answer at this time.
After 10 days of treatment, I feel so good. Thank you so much Doc Gibsy to share your knowledge with Ayurveda. You did a spotless therapy for me. I am in a hurry to go back to work and to start again exercise. Thanks so much to Ayurveda therapists so focused and kind.
Absolutely convinced by Ayurveda now that I did it. Warmly thanks Doctor Gibsy.

Greetings! Christian and I are both thankful for accommodating us in your humble clinic. The treatment that both of us had undertaken were unfamiliar but for a first timer we give it a thumbs up. We didn’t expect that coming to your clinic would give us something which we will cherish for a lifetime (considering that we just bumped in to your gate and read the LED signage unplanned) and out of curiosity we inquired. Hahaha >_
Thank you so much Dr. Gibsy for the consultations and for explaining to us how we can achieve wellness. The 2 therapists who handled us had bee so accommodating as well and Ate Arlene ( Christian’s Ilongga Kababayan) served as our expert foodie. Never thought I’d love Indian food. We will surely miss Ate Arlene’s cooking huhuhu…
The 14-day journey may have been short but the experiences we had been through will stay in our lives for a life time. For this we thank you so much and may our God bless you and the whole Shanti Ayurveda Family.

Always believed in Ayurvedic principles for health well being. I am living in US, hard to find one near us. Was happy to find Shanti Center in Philippines ( who knew?) Pleased with the 14 day Panchakarma. Everyone connected the center- Mr. Sona, Dr. Gibsy, Ms. Sharon and entire staff were always totally supportive and helpful.
A great experience and can’t wait to practice all the Ayurvedic Principles learned here. Simple ones yet hard in our modern society.
Thank you Shanti.

So glad to have taken the 2 weeks Panchakarma treatment here! It’s a blessing that I found out that theres an Ayurveda clinic in the Philippines now! Before coming here I had lesions of psoriasis and my body clock was a mess. I came here hoping to get my skin disorder and difficulty in sleeping treated. I couldn’t sleep good at night for months already and I feel so restless.
After the first day of treatment, I slept straight for 8 hours which is amazing!!!
I used to drink melatonin to help me sleep at night but now I don’t.Also the whole treatment made me feel good. It’s sort of a break from all the stress I’ve had for months!
During the treatment there’s a sense of clarity and realization about living in the present and it’s a reminder for me to never worry and not get stressed anymore.
Dr. Gibsy has been so helpful with all the reminders about worry, stress and food. Having an Ayurvedic diet for 2 weeks also helped me with eating more clean and in tune with my treatment! And best staff to all the ones that did my Panchakarma treatment!

Last year March, 2015, I did my semester abroad at the Philippines and there I discovered Shanti Ayurveda in Xavierville Avenue, Quezon City. From the beginning on everybody has been so welcoming and warmhearted and Shanti Ayurveda is such a wonderful calm and relaxing place in Manila. After some talk and a consultation by Dr. Gibsy, I decided to do a Panchakarma at the end of my stay. They optimized the treatment on my individual health problems.
I did for example Abhyanga, Nasya, Pinda Sweda, Shirodhara. I tried a lot of massages at the Philippines but there is no comparison with this kind of massages helping detoxifying your body. Two professional Ayurveda therapists do equal movements on each side of your body with warm oil, sometimes including herbs.
After the massage, I got delicious self cooked vegetarian food there, the best food I ever ate at the Philippines. I also tried a Yoga class, which was very relaxing. The Panchakarma was a great experience for me and had a lot of positive affects. It was interesting to learn how life style affects our body. I really like the holistic approach, which makes it special and different.
Thank you Sona and Sharon, Dr. Gibsy, all the great therapists and the amazing cook !
