Learn with Katie how we can come out of the false belief that we are unworthy in this moment....that we must constantly be improving, earning, gaining and doing to reach some unattainable goal. And how, we can also advance in our deepest dreams and desires which are a vital and natural part of our humanity!

From weight loss to enlightenment, this nuance matters!

For those of you still on the fence about it…⁠ For those of you still on the fence about it…⁠
⁠
Let me tell you the truth about what happens after Ayurveda School for so many of our women. ⁠
Not what you learn (which is a TON).⁠
Not the modules (which are gold you can keep for a lifetime).⁠
Not the certification to be a coach (which you will get!).⁠
⁠
But who you become. And what you will feel at the end. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who opens kindly to her body instead of being at war with it.⁠
⁠
💎A woman who has learned how to open to the parts of her she has been avoiding and running from (often without even knowing it).⁠
⁠
💎A woman who stops outsourcing her authority to trends, protocols or other people’s opinions and starts listening to her inner voice. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who is deeply awake to her mind/body type and how she can use the gifts and superpowers of her uniqueness instead of being held back. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman with better fertility, digestion, skin, emotional balance, sleep, regulation and mental clarity.⁠
⁠
💎A woman who is surrounded by her Ayurveda-school friends (aka cheerleaders) who may be in her life and business forever. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who - if she chooses - is deeply empowered to rock her Ayurveda as a coach out in the world, earning her value and impacting her community in ways that feel meaningful, fun and aligned with her higher purpose. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who is more at home in her own skin.⁠
⁠
💎A woman who finally knows how to nourish her nervous system, hormones, belly and heart. ⁠
⁠
💎A woman who is less reactive. More patient. More fun. More joyful. More discerning. More spacious. And more dignified. ⁠
⁠
💎Lastly, a woman who feels she is in her nadi - this is a Sanskrit word for RIVER. It means: She who is in her HOLY FLOW. Life isn't perfect but she is in the direct center of her soul’s best evolutionary path. ⁠
⁠
I want you to feel and be who you were meant to become in 2026. ⁠
⁠
Meet me on Zoom in 24 hours. This is your invitation home.
And it brings me to tears of just how PROUD I am o And it brings me to tears of just how PROUD I am of this school. ⁠

Feminine-form of spiritual expression is a big par Feminine-form of spiritual expression is a big part of Ayurveda too. Because even though the Ayurvedic texts were written by men, it was the women who largely practiced and developed the tradition on the day to day, down in the trenches of life. These women were busy taking care of their families and villages with Ayurveda – they didn’t have time to sit and write or meditate for hours.⁠
⁠
And that’s who Tantra is for. The householder, not the monk.⁠
⁠
Are you a monk? Probably not. ⁠
⁠
If you’re a woman who wants to enjoy her life in all the earthly, sensual, spiritual ways, Tantra and Ayurveda offer THE theoretical marriage that can help you get there. ⁠
⁠
Tantra is integrative, and the way we teach it in The Shakti School allows the practitioner to love her life, her partner, and her mess of a house, without feeling less-than a perfect yogini, A Divine Mother, or an Aphrodite Goddess of Love.⁠
⁠
Oh, and the best part? Tantra embraces ALL religious traditions, or none at all. ⁠
I believe Tantra is one of those philosophical systems that we have so much still to unravel and learn from. It's mysticism for the woman who wants it all in her modern life: spiritual fulfillment, worldly success by her own terms, a loving romantic partnership AND a life outside of her romantic partnership.⁠

📚 How are women using their Ayurveda certificat 📚 How are women using their Ayurveda certifications in the real world?

We get this question a lot. This is purpose + practicality, soul meets paying the rent. :-) And yes, we love helping women make money with meaningful work (if that’s what they want to do).

Here are the top real ways our grads are using their Ayurveda Health Coach training:

🌸Private 1:1 Coaching. Support clients with digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, nervous system health and seasonal rhythms. Deep, transformational work.

🌸Women’s Health & Hormone Support. Menstrual health, perimenopause, menopause, fertility, adrenal fatigue and burnout recovery, helping women feel at home in their bodies again.

🌸Corporate Wellness & Burnout Prevention. Lunch-and-learns, workshops and nervous-system education for teams and leaders. High demand, high impact and often well paid.

🌸Group Programs & Online Courses. Scalable 6–8 week offerings like digestive resets, seasonal cleanses, nervous system repair or feminine vitality.

🌸Retreats, Immersions & Women’s Circles. Ayurveda + food + ritual + rhythm + rest = life-changing containers.

🌸Integrative Health Clinics & Wellness Centers. Work alongside functional medicine doctors, acupuncturists, chiropractors and more, filling gaps modern medicine can’t.

🌸Content Creation, Writing & Education. Blogs, Substack, social media, books, podcasts and workshops. Teaching is a powerful healing path.

🌸Postpartum, Caregiving & Recovery Support. Supporting new mothers, caregivers and those healing from illness or long-term stress. Tender, needed work.

🌸Spiritual & Personal Development Coaching. Ayurveda also supports energy patterns, emotional digestion, purpose and rhythm, often blending with yoga, meditation and trauma-informed work.

🌸Building a Conscious Business or Brand. Wellness brands, product lines, education platforms—Ayurveda as the foundation of a bigger vision.

The deepest truth? This wisdom is deeply needed, and there is real demand for it.

Whether you want to make this your career or simply do it for yourself (about half our students do), our program begins Wednesday. This is your time.
