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

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​

February is a threshold month in Ayurveda (in the February is a threshold month in Ayurveda (in the Northern Hemisphere). We’re still carrying winter’s cold, heavy and vata-provoking qualities, especially if you’re vata-dominant or living in a colder climate, but the body also starts asking for a little bit of clearing as kapha slowly begins to rise. 

It’s time for bitter + warming foods: cleansing without shocking the system. Think warm, cooked, spiced, and slightly bitter.

If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere you’re going to want to follow the “summer” guidelines – check out our blog for tons of resources to support you!

February recommendations:

🌶️ Cayenne: Hot and stimulating; wakes up sluggish digestion and helps mobilize stagnant kapha
🥬 Kale: Bitter and mineral-rich; supports gentle detox, grounding when cooked
🤎 Cumin: Warming and digestive, strengthens digestion and improves nutrient assimilation
🌿 Fenugreek: Warming, bitter and drying - perfect for winter kapha–balancing
💛 Turmeric: Heating, supporting cleansing pathways and immune health
🥣 Buckwheat: Warming and drying; balances kapha while still nourishing in cold weather
🥬 Collard Greens: Bitter, earthy and grounding; excellent for late-winter liver support
🧄 Garlic: Hot, pungent and antimicrobial; clears mucus and boosts circulation
🌾 Rye: Drying and grounding; helpful as winter heaviness begins to lift
🫜 Beets: Sweet and bitter, natural coagulant supporting blood and liver cleansing
🍋 Lemon Juice: A squeeze of lemon adds the sour taste to heavier foods
🫚 Ginger: Warming and activating; kindles agni and keeps vata steady
🍠 Sweet Potato: Sweet and grounding; stabilizes vata while transitioning seasons
🍫 Dark Chocolate: Bitter and warming in moderation; supports mood and circulation
🥬 Chard: Bitter and mineral-rich; aids gentle detox without excess cold
🫘 Chickpeas: Drying and protein-rich; balances kapha when well-spiced and cooked
🥦 Broccoli: Bitter and light; supports liver and lymphatic cleansing
🍚 Kitchari: Warm, spiced and balancing; ideal for gentle February resets
🫜 Turnips: Light, bitter and warming

Did you know that the California Ayurvedic Medical Did you know that the California Ayurvedic Medical Association is hosting a really rad conference with some incredible luminaries including yours truly March 20-22 near Silicon Valley Bay Area, California. @californiaayurveda for all the details or DM @sandhiyaramaswamy - who is already coming??
Trying to have a healing dialogue with your inner Trying to have a healing dialogue with your inner child for the first time ever. 🫠

Healing isn’t a one-and-done conversation where you say the right thing and suddenly your inner child doesn’t have trust or abandonment issues anymore (wouldn’t that be nice!? 💔🔥)  

Healing is a relationship.

It’s about slowly (sometimes awkwardly 😉) and lovingly, befriending the parts of you that were ignored, rushed, shamed or quietly kicked out of your own heart.

The tender parts of you don’t open because you said something “right.”

They open because you stayed.

Because you didn’t leave when it felt uncomfortable, even though that first conversation may have felt a little cringe ;) Drop me a line below if you know exactly what I’m talking about. 🫀❤️‍🔥🦋💫
Ayurveda is a complex and vast folk medicine syste Ayurveda is a complex and vast folk medicine system that arose out of ancient India as long as 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda offers us tools to not only heal, but thrive, physically, mentally, relationally and spiritually.

Ayurveda teaches that in order to embody true health (of body, mind and spirit) there are three pillars that must be honored. 

🍋 Pillar #1 Food

According to Ayurveda, all disease originates in the digestive system. When we eat the wrong foods for our body, eat too much late at night, emotionally eat, or eat winter foods in the summer, our belly suffers.

Food is the essence of all life. 

What you put into your body gives you the power to make your life’s purpose a reality. In order to be an earth-shaking, present, wise woman, we’ve got to fuel our machine with premium gas. 

☁️ Pillar #2 Sleep

Getting our beauty z’s can do wonders for how we look and feel, inside and out. Sleep allows the body to detoxify itself from the day, revamping us for the day to come. 

Sleep is also when we heal the tissues of the physical body. It’s the time when we do a major subconscious dump of any undigested emotions and life scenarios.

⚡️ Pillar #3 Shakti

This pillar is all about the management of the vital, creative, life-force that runs through each of us. How do we manage our energy? How do we use our attention and our body? If we look at one of the meanings of the word bramacharya, which is what Ayurveda calls this pillar, we gain insight into what the ancients understood.

One interpretation of the word is “to walk with God.” An example of this is checking in with our heart (you can think of this as your conscience, intuition or God) before engaging in decision making. In this way, our choices are more aligned with our highest intentions and the higher good.
