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 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

When we try to define the feminine, we’re doing When we try to define the feminine, we’re doing our best to talk about that which really can’t be talked about. 

It can only be felt. 

It can only be experienced. 

You can start to meet the feminine by beginning to notice what’s happening in your body, what’s happening in your heart, what’s happening in your sensations, what’s happening in your emotions. 

When I start to share about the feminine with the women in our school, there is this thing that happens:

They have a recognition of something I’ve said that awakens something in them that they already knew. 

I just reminded them of what was already inside. 

And so if there’s one thing that the feminine is, it’s the wisdom in you that already knows how to heal herself, that already knows the things in your life that are weakening you and the things in your life that are strengthening you. 

That intuitive, deep wisdom, we call the feminine. 

Our approach to Ayurveda is honoring how this ancient method is rooted in folk wisdom that women have been practicing all over the world.

Women have been doing this root mother medicine for as long as we’ve been here.

And it all starts from this place of: you are the boss. 

You’re the authority on you. 

We want to provide a place and a practice and a method where you get to feel the part of you that’s the boss. 

When you start tapping into that part of you, you start to know this feeling of warmth and kindness, and that’s a good sign that you’re starting to enter into that wisdom realm. 

If you’re feeling the pull towards that remembrance… you would love our year-long Feminine-Form Ayurveda School. 

It’s a full immersion into your feminine intelligence and inner knowing, while studying the time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that honors women’s bodies, rhythms and lives.

Classes just started last week and it’s not too late to sneak in the door.

The feminine isn’t here to do more. She’s here The feminine isn’t here to do more. She’s here to do what matters, slowly and intentionally.

When we try to overhaul our lives overnight, burnout is inevitable… and your higher self already knows this ;)

Feminine-form Ayurveda teaches you how to move with your rhythms, not against them. Less force, more wisdom, real sustainability. This is exactly why we built a whole school around women’s bodies, hormones and cycles.

It’s not too late to join us and begin 2026 in a way your nervous system can actually handle.

​​In Ayurveda, January in the Northern Hemisph ​​In Ayurveda, January in the Northern Hemisphere is cold, dry, heavy and inward-pulling, a time when Vata qualities dominate in both nature and the body. Kapha qualities begin to accumulate in the second half of winter. To stay balanced, Ayurveda emphasizes foods that are warming, grounding, moistening and easy to digest, supporting digestion, immunity and nervous system stability. 

🍠 Sweet potatoes: deeply grounding and warming, offering steady energy during winter’s inward pull.
🥕 Carrots: gently sweet and nourishing, supporting digestion and blood-building.
🫜 Beets: warming and mineral-rich, supporting circulation and vitality when energy feels low.
🥔 Winter squash: moist, sweet and comforting, helping balance dryness and depletion.
🧅 Onions: pungent and warming, clearing stagnation and supporting immunity.
🥬 Dark leafy greens (cooked): grounding and detoxifying when sautéed or stewed, never raw this season.
🍗 Chicken, lamb and turkey: nourishing and easy to digest, ideal for rebuilding strength. Lamb is deeply warming and strengthening for Vata imbalance.
🥩 Bone broth: restorative and mineral-rich, feeding the nervous system and connective tissue.
💛 Mung dal: light yet nourishing, supporting digestion while rebuilding vitality.
🫘 Lentils: warming and grounding when soaked and well-cooked with spices.
🍎 Stewed apples: gently cleansing while warming and calming the gut.
🍐 Stewed pears: moistening and soothing for dryness and tension.
💜 Dates: deeply nourishing, supporting energy and reproductive tissues.
🥣 Oats: warming, comforting and stabilizing for the nervous system.
🍚 Rice (especially basmati): easy to digest and grounding, ideal for daily nourishment.
🫚 Fresh ginger or ginger tea: ignites digestive fire and keeps circulation moving.
