                                                  Q: “Do you cover all phases of women’s health? Q: “Do you cover all phases of women’s health? I’m not in my 20s or 30s anymore… is this program still for me?”⁠
⁠
A: Ohhh yes, beautiful woman. Let’s clear this one up because it comes up a lot.⁠
⁠
Shakti School is NOT a program just for women in their reproductive years. In fact, some of our most devoted, powerful students are in their 50s, 60s, 70s… even their 80s. This is a space where every phase of womanhood is honored, supported and celebrated: maiden, mother, queen and crone.⁠
⁠
Menopause, perimenopause and post-menopause are very much covered in our Level 1 training. We have an entire 3-hour class on menopause with the incredible acharya Mary Thompson, plus hormone-balancing teachings woven throughout the year. Ayurveda has some of the most profound tools for this entire midlife transition, physically, emotionally and spiritually.⁠
⁠
And when you get to our Women’s Health Module, it’s truly a portal of empowerment at any age. We’ll cover women’s vitality, how stress impacts women’s bodies, the endocrine system, hormones, womb care at every stage of hormonal life, Ayurvedic perspectives on thyroid and so much more. ⁠
⁠
And because feminine wellness touches every part of our lives, we also explore themes inside Module 7: Sacred Sensuality like Ojas, Soma and developing a healthy relationship to your sensuality (at any age).⁠
⁠
For those interested in supporting others (or yourself) through fertility, conscious pregnancy and postpartum, we also dive deep into the Ayurvedic teachings for the sacred threshold of motherhood.⁠
⁠
So yes, this is a whole-woman, whole-life, whole-journey education. Not a one-phase curriculum.⁠

This is actually one of our central-most values that makes our feminine-form school different:

We don’t do dogma. No one-size-fits-all food lists. We teach you how to listen to your own body’s wisdom.

Ayurveda doesn’t belong in dusty books. It belongs in your life. That’s what we teach. And that’s why our program centers around YOU connecting back to YOUR own inner wisdom.

There’s less than 4 weeks until our 2026 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification Training begins. We start on January 14th - so get in the door now.
