Editorial Reviews

Dr. Claudia Welch
“Ayurveda originated, in part, to address the disorders and ease the discomfort of a populous grown increasingly distant from the intimate practical knowledge of, and proximity to nature’s cycles, seasons, and wisdom. Katie Silcox empathizes with these city and worldly dwellers, and shares simple, light-hearted, possibly life-changing perspectives and techniques that hail from the time-tested sisters in Indian sciences: Ayurveda and Yoga.”

Meredith Hogan
“Katie Silcox, you are the Carrie Bradshaw of the yoga and Ayurveda movement in the United States.”

Sharon Gannon
"Katie translates the self-help ancient system of Ayurveda for the modern woman who wants to be more healthy, happy, and sexy, and achieve the goals of pleasure, prosperity, purpose, and freedom—living life to the fullest."

Prashanti de Jager
"Katie's book feeds her readers, no doubt, but more importantly in many ways, it also nourishes the Ayurvedic tradition itself."

One of the biggest questions I get from women expl One of the biggest questions I get from women exploring our program is “What can I actually do with an Ayurvedic coaching certification? What’s the scope of a coaching practice?”⁠
⁠
Becoming a certified coach is absolutely a viable career path, and it can also enhance the offerings that you already have. 🌿⁠
⁠
With an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach certification, you can legally and ethically work with people as a coach and educator in so many ways, including:⁠
⁠
📒 Working 1:1 as a wellness or lifestyle coach, helping clients with digestion, stress, hormones, energy, daily rhythms and self-care (within the coaching scope and with proper insurance)⁠
⁠
🧘🏽‍♀️ Teaching workshops in yoga studios, community spaces, retreat centers or online⁠
⁠
🌬️ Guiding people through nutrition education, daily routines, seasonal resets, meditation, and nervous system support⁠
⁠
🥀 Supporting women with cycle awareness, womb wellness and feminine rhythm education⁠
⁠
🪐 Weaving Ayurveda into your existing work, whether it’s yoga, bodywork, coaching, energy work, movement or spiritual mentorship⁠
⁠
🗓️ Creating group programs, circles or educational offerings rooted in preventative care and self-healing⁠
⁠
💗 Using Ayurveda first and foremost for your own life—and letting your lived experience become your medicine⁠
⁠
Working as an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach is about teaching people how to live well, how to listen to their bodies and how to create daily practices that actually work in real life.⁠
⁠
And yes, when you go through our program you’ll also leave with real tools: a gorgeous training manual, client forms, starter business resources and a community of women walking this path with you.⁠
⁠
Our Level 1 class began a couple of weeks ago, and we’re still welcoming our last-minute ladies who feel the nudge and don’t want to wait another year.⁠
⁠
If this is speaking to you, send us a DM to learn more.⁠

We’d love to welcome you into our school. 🌹

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.

And it’s not too late to join us.⁠
⁠
In our training, we honor both forms of wisdom. The masculine form gives us structure, philosophy and foundational understanding. And the feminine form connects us to intuition, spontaneity and present-moment knowing. 🪔⁠
⁠
The Shakti School is not about an either/or approach. It’s a sacred both/and.⁠
⁠
We learn the principles of Ayurveda and we listen for what arises organically within the body, the moment and the mystery. ⁠
⁠
This is feminine-form education: embodied, alive and intuitive. 🌺⁠

This is a clip from the first class of the year and the full lecture is waiting for you inside the virtual classroom. ⁠

If you feel that heart nudge, know that it’s not too late. You can join us starting TODAY for our second class of the year (no catch-up necessary). Join us for a yearlong initiation into your feminine - you won’t regret it. ✨
