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

  • Ayurvedic counseling methodologies & case management

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

Damiana has long been called the herb of love - no Damiana has long been called the herb of love - not because it forces desire, but because it restores the warmth, circulation and nervous system ease that allow pleasure to arise naturally. ⁠
⁠
Through an Ayurvedic lens, damiana supports agni, moves stagnation and gently nourishes reproductive vitality, especially in colder seasons when the body needs more warmth and flow. ⁠
⁠
🌹 Remember: Pleasure is a physiological state tied to hormonal balance, digestion and emotional regulation. ⁠

When your agni is turned on, your digestion is thr When your agni is turned on, your digestion is thriving and your body is well-oiled from the inside out. 😉🍯

Ayurveda has been teaching that your glow starts with digestion for thousands of years. When we tend our agni through simple daily rituals (tongue scraping, warm water, warm and spiced foods and yes… complete elimination 💩), assimilation improves, toxins clear, hormones regulate and vitality improves from the inside out.

Radiant wellbeing emerges when the system is supported.

You can never have too many aphrodisiacs. And thes You can never have too many aphrodisiacs. And these passion-inducing foods might already be in your kitchen: 🥑

Maca is known to enhance fertility and energy and boost libido with its adaptogenic properties.

Saffron is worth more than its weight in gold and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a women’s fertility support and hormone balancer for hundreds of years.

Chocolate, the quintessential ancient Aztec aphrodisiac, contains compounds that boost mood and arousal (phenylethylamine, serotonin and anandamide). It’s rich in PEA - “the love chemical.”

Strawberries (along with figs, plums, apples, pears and berries) have long evoked images of Eve and the feminine body. On a physical level, berries are packed with antioxidants.

Honey reminds us of our vital, life-bringing sap-the sweetness of passion and pleasure. It’s condensed effort, much like our human baby-making substances.

Arugula, also known as “rocket,” gives salads a boost of fire. In Italy, it’s said to enhance passion due to its peppery flavor.

Truffles are prized for their musky, earthy aroma and reputation as stimulators. Some even claim they have a pheromone-like scent that drives pigs wild - make of that what you will.

Ginseng, the holy grail of Chinese medicine, is a powerful nervous-system tonic shown to help the body adapt to stress and build vitality.

Avocados are rich, oily and deeply lubricating—supporting supple skin, collagen preservation and overall nourishment.

Walnuts resemble the brain and nourish it, too. They’re rich in omega-3s, vitamin E and polyphenols that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Oysters, food of the lovers, are rich in B12, C and D, omega-3 fats, iron, selenium and copper-nutrients essential for sensual vitality.

Anything can be aphrodisiac if it builds Ojas - the subtle essence of youth, immunity, satisfaction and vitality. These foods help preserve that creative sap and that, Ayurveda says, is what makes us truly turned on. ✨
