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, therapeutic relationships and case management
  • Men's health, aging and vitality
  • Additional ways to identify and treat ama in the body
  • Graceful aging and the needs of elders
  • Ayurvedic needs of children and babies
  • Protocols for common conditions

  • Guidance and tools for launching your Ayurveda business and attracting aligned clients

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

🌿 The Art of Chikitsa: Crafting Ayurvedic Care Protocols with Laurel Odom⁠
⁠
A foundational, confidence-building class where you’ll learn how to translate theory into real, living care protocols for common conditions. This is where the fear of “I know the theory but don’t know what to do” begins to dissolve so that you can support yourself and others with clarity and discernment.⁠
⁠
🔥 Ayurveda as the Original Biohack with Katie Silcox⁠
⁠
A bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science, exploring Ayurveda as a metabolic operating system. You’ll learn how agni, ama and ojas map onto metabolism, inflammation and nervous system health, and how to use rhythm, herbs and daily practices to restore energy and resilience.⁠
⁠
🪔 Light & Sound as the Future of Healing with Katie Silcox⁠
⁠
From mantra and frequency to sunlight and nervous system regulation, this class explores how light, sound, temperature and water act as powerful healing inputs. You’ll begin to understand healing beyond food, working with the subtle forces that shape vitality and coherence.⁠
⁠
If you’ve completed Level 1, Level 2 is where everything becomes integrated, embodied and clinically relevant. You’ll move from learning Ayurveda to actually practicing it. You’ll gain the confidence, skillset and lived understanding to support both your own healing and the healing of others in a deeply real way.⁠

Your spring reset in a glass. 👆🏼 Kapha seas Your spring reset in a glass. 👆🏼

Kapha season might be making you feel a little damp or heavy, but this “Wake Me Up” juice is the perfect prescription - stimulating, warming and mobilizing to your system.

Ginger, turmeric and citrus stoke your agni (digestive fire), helping to clear stagnation and giving the body a little wake-up call. The bitterness, pungency and brightness of the ingredients cut through any sluggishness and bring an instant boost of clarity and energy. 🌿🔥

This juice is best if consumed on an empty stomach and away from other meals. Make sure to add enough ginger to keep it spicy!

✨ Calling all Level 1 Shakti School grads! Level 2 begins in just a few weeks and if your heart is feeling the nudge to deepen your education—and your soul’s evolution—we are inviting you back into the Shakti classroom. 

Our coaching team can answer any questions you have and support you in exploring if Level 2 is right for you.

Words from Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Trai Words from Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Training Program graduates… 🌿⁠
⁠
This is what happens when women step into the deeper layers of this work, where Ayurveda meets feminine embodiment, clinical understanding and real-life application. Level 2 is not just about learning more… it’s about becoming someone who can truly hold this wisdom for herself and others.⁠
⁠
Our students walk away with a profound connection to their bodies, their cycles and the rhythms of nature, while also gaining the tools to support others with confidence and clarity. ⁠
⁠
From herbs and nutrition to pregnancy, postpartum and the bridge between Western and Eastern medicine, this training is both deeply practical and deeply transformational.⁠
⁠
And perhaps most importantly… it reignites something. A spark. A sense of aliveness. A remembering of who you are and how you’re meant to serve. ⚡️⁠
⁠
There is no such thing as “too late,” nor “too old,” nor “too saturated” when it comes to this ancient wisdom that’s deeply needed. ⁠
⁠
The world needs embodied, grounded, heart-led practitioners now more than ever.⁠
⁠
✨ There are only four weeks until our 2026 Level 2 training begins on April 21st.⁠

Kapha season is that late winter to early spring t Kapha season is that late winter to early spring transition when things start to melt… and sometimes we do too.💦 If you’re feeling a little heavier or slower, or feeling an urge to get things moving and flowing, you’re right on time! We can balance kapha heaviness with foods that lighten, warm and gently stimulate the system. 🌿⁠
⁠
Here are some of our favorite Kapha-balancing foods for spring:⁠
⁠
🧅 Onions + garlic → pungent, heating and help break up stagnation⁠
🫘 Split peas, mung beans, red lentils → light, drying and easy to digest⁠
🫒 Olive oil → a lighter fat that supports without weighing you down⁠
🌿 Fresh herbs → help brighten digestion and adds fresh, spring zest!⁠
🐟 Freshwater fish + wild salmon → clean protein that’s easier to metabolize than heavy meats⁠
🍯 Raw honey → naturally scraping (lekhana), helps reduce excess Kapha⁠
🌾 Amaranth + quinoa + barley + basmati → light, protein-rich grains that don’t create heaviness⁠
🥬 Cabbage + asparagus → bitter, astringent spring veggies that detox + de-bloat (all the greens this season!)⁠
🍇 Dried fruit → provides light sweetness when used in moderation⁠
🍗 Chicken → a lean, grounding protein without excess heaviness⁠
🍎 Apples or seasonal fruit → light, cleansing and supportive for digestion⁠
🥛 Goat milk (or lighter dairy) → easier to digest for kapha than heavier dairy options⁠
🌶️ Heating spices → ginger, turmeric, cumin & black pepper to stoke agni 🔥⁠
⁠
This is the season to eat a little lighter and support your digestion so your energy can come back online.⁠
⁠
🌎 Note: This guidance is for those in the Northern Hemisphere moving into spring. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, you’ll want to follow a more Vata-balancing, warming and grounding approach as you move into fall.⁠
⁠
✨ Want to learn how to work with your body through every season? Comment WISDOM and we’ll send you our free Divine Feminine Ayurveda mini-course.
There’s only ONE MONTH until we come back togeth There’s only ONE MONTH until we come back together for our second year of feminine-form Ayurvedic studies! Swipe for the deepened feminine-form education you’ll be immersed into in Level 2. 👉🏼😍⁠
⁠
Level 2 is so special because it’s a much smaller group. This means more opportunity to get to know your cohort (aka Ayurveda best-gal-pals) and the teachers. A more intimate group really gives Level 2 a distinct feel that we absolutely love. ⁠
⁠
And of course, the opportunity to take your studies to the next level!⁠
⁠
We start April 21st – just one month from now!⁠
⁠
Want to chat with a graduate about their experience in the Level 2 program? Book a call with a Level 2 Ayurveda School graduate at the link in bio to find out if a second year of the program is aligned with your goals and dreams. ⁠
