The Program

Level 2 - Ayurvedic Health Counselor

The Divine Feminine has called.

She wants you, your friends, family and communities to return to the simplest, but most powerful, ways of caring for themselves.

In Level 1 you learned about the HER rhythms, the cycles of nature, how to use food, and the elements to become the version of you that shines the brightest. Together we did deep work, unearthing what is hidden beneath the layers formed by our daily interactions and behaviors. You’re starting to hear the whispers underneath all the noise.

You’ve also learned how to take this wisdom into your community. To educate in the ways of diet and lifestyle that have the potential to drastically change the trajectory of a person’s life.

In Level 2 we continue our study of ancient methods for understanding pathology, how disease develops, deeper protocols for health and self-care, and the physical diagnostic tools, theory and philosophy for health coaching and case management.

​Prerequisites: Successful completion of the Level 1 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach program

The Shakti School will certify graduates in Divine Feminine Ayurveda that complete all educational requirements of our Levels 1 & 2 programs (600-hours total) as Shakti School Ayurvedic Health Counselors, offering you a listing on our directory of certified practitioners.

This ancient science is vast, and we go further still.

Level 2 is an opportunity to learn about the pathology. How dis-ease moves through the layers of the body – subtle to gross. We’ll further explore the ways in which we can read the messages being shared to deeply support each unique individual in finding balance.

You’ll learn additional tools for growth and health to guide yourself and others into more spaciousness for becoming. Together we’ll hone your intuition and provide structure for the potential of this knowledge to flourish through you.

This 300-hour program is perfect for the seeker looking to work 1-on-1 more deeply, and become a conduit for more radical change to take place.

Core Components of Level 2:

  • The pathways of dis-ease, how disease develops
  • Introduction to diagnostic tools including pulse, tongue and eyes
  • More therapies for pacifying the doshas, cultivating sattva, and balancing the gunas
  • Ayurvedic counseling methodologies & case management
  • Launching your Ayurveda Business
  • Deepening your feminine-form Ayurveda
  • Ayurvedic pregnancy loss support
  • Men's health
  • Ayurvedic approach to easing menopause
  • Additional ways to identify and treat Ama in the body
  • Ayurvedic Oral and Eye Care
  • Graceful aging and the needs of Elders
  • Ayurvedic needs of children and babies
  • Protocols for common conditions
  • Attachment theory as it relates to coaching
  • Women’s Health - Emotion Processing, Sexuality and Somatic/Trauma Unraveling
  • Ayurvedic Herbology - commonly used formulas and healing oils, tinctures, teas, salves and other health-boosting preparations
  • Yoga for Dosha and Marmavidya (Ayurvedic Energy Point Healing)

Upon Completion of the Program

Scope of Practice - Level 2

Graduates who are issued a certificate for the Ayurvedic Health Counselor program may use the information provided in this course for personal development and/or to guide individuals and groups through educational seminars and one-on-one sessions on the principles and practices of the Ayurvedic way of life and healing. This scope of practice emphasizes education on prevention of imbalances, addressing imbalances and on regaining wellness on all levels of being, using the life-enhancing modalities and philosophy of Ayurveda, Tantra and Feminine Form Medicine. Approaches include nutrition, lifestyle, meditation, psychospiritual approaches, health promoting herbal education, goal-setting (sankalpa/dharma work), and designing preventive and complementary health routines according to holistic principles.

Assessment tools are used to determine the Vikriti (imbalances) of an individual’s body/mind; they work to realign unbalanced states of the doshas, ama, agni, dhatus, and malas. Those who have obtained this certificate do not diagnose or treat diseases.

  • Meet with people one-on-one in the capacity of an Ayurvedic Health Counselor (with proof of proper insurance)
  • Lead Ayurveda workshops in your yoga studio and community centers​
  • Provide education around nutrition, daily routine, seasonal cleansing and rejuvenation, digestive health, meditation, and women’s womb wellness
  • Add Ayurvedic wisdom to your current yoga classes, bodywork practice or other healing modalities
  • Be a part of a supportive community of colleagues
  • Ownership of the beautiful Level 2 manual and "protocol" forms + handouts for easily creating a private practice
  • Be an official Shakti School practitioner, including use of brand and logo + membership in an exclusive club of published practitioners

Here’s your *Feminine-Form* Ayurveda winter guid Here’s your *Feminine-Form* Ayurveda winter guide for staying warm, radiant and lit up through the darkest months of the year. These practices are your go-tos: 🔥

🌶️ Fire cider to stoke immunity, circulation and digestion when cold damp weather weakens agni. 

🫖 Neti pot rinses. I mix warm water with ¼ teaspoon sea salt and one tiny drop of oregano essential oil to clear the sinuses, support lung health and prevent winter congestion.

☁️ Steam ceremony: Fill a pot with boiling water, add 3 drops eucalyptus essential oil, cover your head with a towel, and breathe deeply for 5–10 minutes, allowing emotion and congestion to gently release.

☀️ Vitamin C, D and triphala to support immunity, gut health and daily detox during low-light months.

🌿Tulsi, elderberry, licorice, turmeric and nettle teas to nourish immunity, soothe the nervous system and keep tissues hydrated.

🔴 Red light therapy to regulate the nervous system, lift mood and counteract seasonal depletion.

🎥 Extra sleep and genuinely funny movies to downshift cortisol and remind your body it’s safe (do not underestimate their power)!

🥩 Make lots of soups, broths, collagen and gelatin-rich meals to keep everything juicy in the vata season of cold and artificial heating systems! 

🍯 Manuka honey blends with turmeric, black pepper, cayenne and licorice to soothe the throat + provide support immunity.

🛁 Cycle epsom salt and sea salt baths. One night I do 2 cups epsom, the next I do 1 cup sea salt. Add a bit of your favorite body oil and essential oils for added glow!

🎁 Get excited about the gifts you will give, rather than get. Give to charity. 

🥂 Divest from excess alcohol and excess online spending. INVEST in visiting the sauna! 

👟 Boost your energy, move your lymph and stay connected to Mama Nature with gentle winter walks. 

❄️ Avoid raw, cold foods and icy drinks (like salads, cold smoothies, etc.!) 

🧣 Wear warming and bright colors and ditch black clothing! Invite more light with candles, ghee lamps or by making a fire.
