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.

  • 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​
  • 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

This smoothie is a little love letter to pitta sea This smoothie is a little love letter to pitta season. 🌿🥥 Bananas, coconut, mint and coconut water all help replenish fluids, soothe excess heat and nourish the tissues, while spinach adds additional minerals and cacao nibs bring in a hint of richness. 

I love to drink this as a mid-morning snack or afternoon pick-me-up on hot summer days. A cooler smoothie like this can dampen digestion if you have slow agni, so it’s best to drink it during peak pitta hours and avoid first thing in the morning or too late at night. 

This recipe is especially supportive for those experiencing classic pitta signs like feeling overheated, irritability, acid reflux or inflammatory skin flare-ups.

⁠
My Ayurveda is not about perfection, but it is about remembering that your food can be your medicine, and everything we take in is food. ⁠
⁠
My 30 years of study have taught me that Ayurveda must also meet the time, the place and the people in which it is living. ⁠

My Ayurveda is imperfect because it’s alive, it’s real and that’s what makes it holy.⁠

In August, the heat and fire of pitta that built u In August, the heat and fire of pitta that built up in June and July starts to rise to the surface, especially as moisture in our body begins to dry out. 🌞🍂 ⁠
⁠
Ayurveda invites us to focus on foods that are cooling, hydrating and slightly grounding. It’s time to soothe the lingering fire of summer while gently preparing our bodies for the cool, dry, vata winds of fall.⁠
⁠
Here’s your shopping list:⁠
⁠
• Mint: Cooling and calming, balances Pitta heat and soothes digestion.⁠
• Peaches: Helps balance dryness with juiciness and hydration!⁠
• Grapes: Sweet, cooling, lightly grounding and ojas-building.⁠
• Pears: Moistening, helping combat late-summer dryness.⁠
• Cucumbers: Cooling and deeply hydrating for your tissues.⁠
• Jicama: Crunchy, sweet and grounding, perfect for balancing rising vata.⁠
• Sweet Potatoes: Nourishing and help stabilize the body ahead of fall.⁠
• Yellow Squash: Moistening and light, supports digestion and balances pitta.⁠
• Apples: Astringent and cleansing, they gently clear excess summer heat.⁠
• Quinoa: Light yet grounding, ideal as we transition from summer to autumn.⁠
• Milk: Especially organic + warm! Nourishes and lubricates as dryness sets in.⁠
• Coconut Oil: Cools pitta, lubricates tissues and calms inflammation.⁠
• Carrots: Sweet and earthy, they ground airy vata and prep digestion for fall.⁠
• Ghee: Builds ojas, lubricates tissues and strengthens agni without heat.⁠
• Tomatoes: For kaphas, their acidity and lightness help stimulate digestion, but avoid for pittas + vatas.⁠
• Mung Beans: These light legumes balance pitta and gently detoxify the digestive system.⁠
⁠
If you're joining us from the Southern Hemisphere, choose foods that balance vata right now. As always in Ayurveda, the best medicine is what's fresh, local and in season where you live.⁠
