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

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

Don’t know what to make for dinner this week, an Don’t know what to make for dinner this week, and you still wanna’ be in alignment with the seasonal shifts? Here are some quick, kapha-balancing ideas to add to your menu. 👇🏼

🌱 Kitchari, light on the oil. The OG Ayurvedic comfort food, but make it light! Mung dal + basmati rice + kapha-balancing spices, just go light when adding your oil.

🌱 Spiced veggie soups. You can’t go wrong with brothy soups—grab some carrots, celery, kale, fresh ginger, turmeric or cumin and add some lentils for more protein!

🌱 Steamed veggies with warming spices—a simple staple that Kapha loves. Always finish with a drizzle of lemon and pinch of cayenne or black pepper!

🌱 Quinoa + sautéed greens + lime squirt. For extra oomph, add some dry roasted sunflower or hemp seeds.

🌱 Roasted veggie medley (cauliflower, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, asparagus, turnips or green beans) with cumin, coriander and paprika. (Roasting is a good way to balance out our less kapha-friendly veggies like sweet potatoes and parsnips, too.)

🥕 Want my easy instant-pot kitchari recipe so that you can love on your agni this week? Comment INSTANT below and I’ll send it to you.
The purpose of alchemizing our pain is not perfect The purpose of alchemizing our pain is not perfection. In fact, it can be incredibly liberating to free ourselves from the idea that we will ever be perfectly healed—the idea that we will ever NOT have a certain amount of discomfort and suffering in our lives.

I remember having my heart cracked open when I learned about the Hindu goddess Akhilandeshvari, She Who Is Never Not Broken. 

She is the keeper of the realm of hearts broken, dreams unachieved, and promises unkept. She is with us when we fall into a snotty ball on our bed, unable to keep the sobs from engulfing us. 

She is the opposite of “Move on,” “Just get over it,” and “Oh, come on, it could be worse.” She allows us to be with our feelings until they naturally transform. 

She exists within us, constantly gathering the broken pieces of us back into her. 

And although she is always broken, her face is peaceful because she knows an important secret: that she is always there with us, coexisting alongside the pain. 

And She Who Is Never Not Broken is one of the biggest keys to accessing our true inner glow, in that she allows all the rusted, grimy, broken, roughed-up parts of us to be held in the warm gaze of her message: You can be here.

These double-edged goddesses teach us the beautiful and often painful lesson of the tension of the opposites. 

Can you embody these goddesses by holding the paradox of life, knowing that both brokenness and wholeness may always be operating in our lives?

This is a milky beverage that counteracts insomnia This is a milky beverage that counteracts insomnia and nervousness before bed. 

Ayurveda provides nourishing and grounding remedies that help settle both body and mind. 🌀☁️

Warm milk is traditionally used as an ojas-building tonic that supports deep restoration, while valerian helps calm the nervous system, ashwagandha supports stress resilience, nutmeg is used for its gently sedative qualities, and saffron eases the mind toward rest. 🫖

When taken together, you have a soothing ritual that reduces excess movement in the mind and invites deep ease before bedtime. 🌙

You can also enhance the effects of this milky medicine by rubbing some warm sesame oil and a few drops of jatamansi essential oil on the soles of your feet before covering them in socks.

In the latest episode of Spirit Sessions Podcast, In the latest episode of Spirit Sessions Podcast, I do a deep download on erythritol. You may have never heard of this chemical but it is a sweetener lurking inside so many of the “clean,” “keto,” and even “stevia” products we’ve been told are better for us. 

Think bubbly waters, protein bars and powders, energy drinks that are sold as more health-conscious, even the “healthiest” electrolytes on the market. 

You may be eating and drinking way more of this than you realize. I was! 

This podcast episode is short and sweet and offers a deep dive into both the recent science and the Ayurvedic agreement around it. 

I hope it helps us all come back to intelligent sweetness. 

Sweetly yours,
Katie 💗
