“Since doing Ayurveda School, my whole life changed. My health, my direction in life, my career, my relationships, and my impact in the world! I would recommend this training because it’s a great container to be fully immersed in.”

“Since doing Ayurveda School, I feel so much more empowered to make shifts and changes in my life. This training has changed my life. Immense gratitude for the teachings and the teachers. I specifically loved learning about herbalism, the subtle energetics, the elements, both the science & philosophical, and womb care.”

“I was already in perimenopause before Ayurveda School and feeling all the symptoms; weight gain, hot flashes, sleepless nights, emotional, etc. The Ayurvedic practices and compassionate feminine aspects held me in such support and more ease than I could have ever imagined. I feel more in love with who I am right now than ever. Also, the flexibility of the schedule was AMAZING! Depending on where you are in your life, this course will meet your needs. You determine how this class unfolds for you. I love being the driver of how I show up. But I also love the gentle nudge by the teachers to be seen or heard during the live classes. Depending on who you are, the knowledge and support you will feel and be gifted is priceless. It will help you personally navigate your health, career, relationships, and dreams. And for those who are inspired, it may be something you share to the world.”

“Shakti School is like western medicine and mystery school had a baby. Together I feel I can deliver knowledgable care with an open heart and compassion for my clients. I feel like I can assure them through wisdom and science while also letting them know their humanness is welcome. I feel like within myself I’ve lived the past 2 years without burn out, without an empty cup, without feeling like I was over giving because Shakti School was constantly filling me up, always keeping me full and able to give with new and exciting tools. Since doing Ayurveda School, I have noticed my ability to be in the Yin of Ayurveda. It’s not about doing it all, having perfect digestion, cooking every meal at home or feeling guilty if you had a day eating out. Its not about a 60 minute practice every single morning. It’s about in that, finding time to be a human, relax, indulge, enjoy and adapt, knowing you have the Ayurvedic practices to come back to balance with. There are also no due dates, no attendance, it is feminine style learning and obtainable for everyone no matter their lifestyle.”

“I am transformed and more open after being in The Shakti School. I am more aware and in a calmer state, and am able to set boundaries better. I have loved the many amazing female wisdom and vulnerability of all the women in the class. I would recommend this training because all women need to do the deeper work to be whole.”

“Since doing Ayurveda School, my mind, body and soul are balanced and at peace. I feel more in tune than ever before to my mind and body. I have the knowledge and supportive practices to integrate into my life that bring me a sense of grounding and stability. Overall, my health, quality and satisfaction of life has improved, which has resulted in improved relationships with my loved ones. Life changing! I have gained valuable knowledge and skills to better care for my mind/body/soul. Through the amazing, wise, diverse teachers of Shakti School I have obtained well-rounded knowledge in Ayurveda and feminine form medicine that allows me to best serve my clients. Additionally, the learning environment has always been supportive.”

“Shakti School is not only an Ayurvedic training; it is a sisterhood, a women’s circle where amazing human beings gather, people with whom we find mutual inspiration. I can say I have found some of the most spectacular women I’ve met in my life, and amongst all, Shakti School has led me to have the most beautiful relationship with myself. Through the teachings, I’ve found my way back to my heart, and with it, a way to be a companion on others’ self-healing journeys. Shakti School changed my life, primarily and what outlined the base for my spirit and health journey on another level, Shakti School changed my relationship with food. I still remember hearing “Food is the way we transform the outer world into ourselves, it is the most sacred relationship and a reflection of all our relationships” My weight came to the healthiest level and I started to feel like I was shinning, not only my skin but in all my bodies, energetic, spiritual and physical.”

“Choosing to sign up for this Ayurveda Course has been nothing short of a magical and transformational journey! It has really been like going to the University of the soul, as Katie calls it! Each module was meaningfully designed – there was knowledge infused with experiences which were so relatable and authentic. This kept me going. All the amazing classes have really shown me so many ways that I can tap into taking care of my mind, body and spirit in the most compassionate and nurturing way. Learning how to accept and live in the duality of things has really healed me. It has been such a blessing to be part of this empowering wisdom – I hope to share so much of what I learnt with educators, parents and learners! Really grateful to have been given this opportunity. :)”

“I feel as though everything shifted since doing Ayurveda School…physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually! Taking the time that I needed to complete this amazing program (yep…3 years!!) was absolutely worth doing. I really loved not only the content and how varied it was (the “energetics” content truly spoke to me!) but I really (!!) enjoyed all of our teachers and yes, the ability to do the course mostly all through the recordings (even while traveling out of the country!!) I just can’t thank you all enough for not only the gift of your “offering”, but for your heart and willingness to come alongside students like myself! <3 “

“Since doing Ayurveda School, I live a much healthier lifestyle. I loved the nutritional aspect of the program and would absolutely recommend this training. I loved this program and how I was able to access it with my hectic lifestyle.”

“Let this testimonial be the sign you needed to join Shakti School. A year ago, Ayurveda was foreign to me; now, after completing Level 1 at Shakti School, my life has undergone a remarkable transformation. Ayurveda teaches that all the answers reside within us, waiting to be unlocked through balance, self-awareness, and harmony with nature. Katie’s initial lecture emphasized that we are not broken, a truth echoed by the teachings of Ayurveda shared by Katie and her dedicated cohort of teachers. Reflecting on my journey, I realize my uncertainty at the end of Year 1 gave way to a clear path as I surrendered to what is. Today, I’m in the midst of creating my Ayurvedic Coaching business, Prana Flow Lab, set to debut in late Summer ’24. The opportunity to help others and share the invaluable tools I’ve acquired is a profound gift. The supportive community accompanying these courses is invaluable—there’s power in proximity, in surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals on similar paths of service. Shakti School, you are medicine for the soul. Thank you for this heart-centered journey. As Level 2 of Shakti School begins in less than 3 weeks, I cannot wait to dive deeper into the teachings of Ayurveda and be reunited with my tribe.”

“Since doing Ayurveda School, I now listen to my body! Before my body could tell me it was full or tired and I would just eat a bit more because it was so tasty or have that one more glass of wine that everyone else was having. But since I began listening, really listening to my body, I also noticed how my digestion changed, and how I wanted to feed myself changed. And with me changing those small day to day observances, little by little those around me are also integrating Ayurveda into their lives. I also love the meditations in Ayurveda School! And all the subtle Ayurveda and harmony with the seasons are my favorite themes! I really liked that we could download the lecture audio. This helped a lot and that the sessions are recorded because around the middle of the school year I wasn’t able to be in the live sessions often, especially not full time, but I never felt like I was missing anything.”

“Being involved in many spiritual practices over the years, Shakti School is the first place where I feel like we are fully connected and talking the same language despite our cultures, backgrounds, locations, or life experiences we encountered. Every teaching received by our amazing teachers, every interaction with all of you – “my wonderful women trite” related to my life in some way, put clarity around the uncertainties, deepened my knowledge, explained and expanded my understanding of world and empowered me to make not only small but also big decisions and changes in my life and everyone’s life around me. Living in a global world with all the available technology is not always a win-win, but what a blessing for all of us to live nowadays and be able to connect and learn together thanks to Shakti School’s learning platform and the team that supports it – thank you, Ladies! I am so grateful to have this opportunity living in Australia and to learn from all of you around the world.”

“My emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health has improved immensely since Ayurveda School! It all comes naturally now…the food, the routines, the awareness each and every day. My entire family knows and understands what abhyanga and oil pulling is, and they are doing it! I love that this school has not only positively affected my life but many others as well. I can list every topic that I enjoyed and its 100% the entire course BUT Katie is uniquely different and an amazing goddess. I truly feel she cares and practices what she is teaching. I feel Shakti School gives back to the community, time to the students, and the instructors are very well versed and that means a lot to me and where I place my time and energy.”

“I recommend The Shakti School to anyone who wants to learn more about Ayurveda. I loved the lectures. Every lecture was amazing and mind blowing. The presenters were kind and welcomed and encouraged questions. I really felt at home and peaceful during the lectures. Since Ayurveda School, I have noticed how the food (literal food and what I see, hear, or feel) I put in my body makes me feel. I don’t want to eat foods that make me feel bad anymore. I have made small changes in my diet and lifestyle that are improving my health and the health of my family. I am so excited for Level 2 and proud of myself for finishing the work. I feel like my life has improved with all my learning.”

“My weight is the biggest display of healing. I went down 14kgs in a year without any effort. There is a huge improvement in my sleep habits, more energy during the day, focus, and my skin. I now exercise again after 10 years and I’m not caffeine dependent. Plus, I’ve started cooking with spices and ghee and our nutrition at home has changed drastically. I’m calmer and live slower. My digestion took a 360 degree turn. I am me for the first time in over a decade. My life has changed drastically and no words can describe how good I feel. It’s such a wholesome holistic program. But one thing I love is being able to see the videos recorded and the office hours to round up. In terms of content, it’s impossible to pick one thing. Everything is weaved together so well that you need the whole thing. This program was absolutely divine. I love the team, the set up, the classes, etc. Big big fan, I would’ve been a front row chick every day but being in Norway it was impossible to stay up.”

“Since Ayurveda School, I noticed that a lot of what I do intuitively can be explained better by me now, and I have deepened my divine feminine practice even more. The changes I have experienced with the course include deepening boundary setting, space clearing, self care dinacharya, letting my meditations flow more (as Dr Lad suggests) and letting go of some of the techniques more. In the program, I loved the herbs, spices, meditations, female care, divine feminine, and divine feminine cycle care.”

“I don’t just throw around the word “life-changing,” but the past year in Ayurveda School truly has been just that. I see literally every single thing in life differently now. It is as if I have Ayurveda-colored glasses on permanently – I view the seasons, foods, nature, emotions, herbal remedies, diseases, etc through the lens of the elements. It has allowed me to be so much more intentional in how I live – honoring the balances needed in each moment. It’s allowed me to slow down and be a much more aware and active participant in my health.I now take a few breaths and say a prayer before each meal, I’ve committed to doing seasonal cleanses, I’ve experienced the absolute bliss of doing ahbyanga, etc etc etc. Because of all I’ve learned and implemented, I notice better digestion, more mental clarity, a deeper connection to myself and nature, more aligned daily rhythms, and a general improvement in well-being. I feel better equipped to ADAPT to the all of the changes that I’ll inevitably encounter throughout the different seasons of life. I feel more connected to my inner healer. I come from a long line of healthcare professionals, and feel empowered to continue the intention of healing others, in my own, unique way. I feel confident that I can create a healing climate for others, that’ll allow their innate wisdom to be their healer and inner teacher.”

“Since Ayurveda School, I’m juicier! I’m able to bounce back from digestive set backs more quickly. I have more vitality and amazing practices to help me connect back to my inner guru! Incredible learning and SO needed in our modern world.”

“This training completely changed my life and it is accessible for everyone. You can have all the knowledge in the world about Ayurveda and still learn something or you can know nothing about Ayurveda and learn the most beautiful fundamentals. I never felt overwhelmed or less than or not included. I was encouraged to show up exactly as I am and exactly where I was at and was still supported and loved. Truly not enough words to describe what this training meant to me. I loved all the teachers and the information provided. Bringing in so many different teachers allows each of us to be taught in a way that is best for us (slides vs no slides, etc.) All the information was absorbed differently and beautifully because of the teachers we were introduced to.”

“Each and every teacher was very nice, smart, and wonderful. Also, I thought it was perfect for me to just do as much as I can without overdoing it. I think Japanese people tend to push themselves too hard and be too patient. So, I would like to make sure to convey this to my students and clients. I believe this is wisdom that is necessary for all women who desire health and happiness.”

“Since Ayurveda School, I don’t stress about things as much as I used to. I was losing teeth before attending Ayurveda School due to my stress levels. I’ve cut down on hours at my highly stressful job and now I’m trying to concentrate on starting a business. I realized the value of my health and my sanity. I feel like everyone can benefit from Ayurveda no matter your age, occupation, status, cultural background, or emotional state. My big fear attending the program was that I wouldn’t turn Ayurveda into a career. I’ve had many many challenges in school including not having a kitchen of my own, living with someone that is unhealthy, and feeling as if I’m on the go too much. Ayurveda has helped me with my self esteem due to some of these issues and has helped me find a purpose in my business. I feel like the teachers were very neutral and provided a safe space for me to pursue my interests. This training has changed the trajectory of my life. I’ve been able to start small and launch a small reiki business. I know in the future I’ll be incorporating Ayurvedic coaching into my career after taking the steps to get to the next level in my life.”

“This course has really helped me move through so many different blockages in my life. I am leaving this course in a better place mentally, physically, and spiritually. My life looks completely different compared to when I signed up for Shakti School and a lot of that is the healing that has taken place the past year. I loved all the focus on diversity with teachers and approaches. I also appreciated the approachability and allowing everyone to come as they are!”

“In this program I connected to something ancient that my soul was searching for. Whether you use it to help people or just yourself, you’ll have found something you’ve been searching for and didn’t even know it. Everything was explained in a way I could understand, by women, for women. I feel more connected to my body, my feminine energy, and other women. This course has helped me understand how I want to help people and how to take care of myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually.”

“Wow…where to begin. Physically I have been making my way to more balance and a healed digestive system and through this process I have gained an understanding and insight into what led to physical ailments and diagnoses in the past. Emotionally it has been transforming. I have been able to uncover some deep seated emotional wounds I had no idea were there or at least was unable to articulate them or make sense of them. Especially recently I have experienced such a clearing and it feels so liberating and heart opening. There has been such a release of energy that was holding me back from full expression of my voice and gifts. I am no longer as afraid as I was to live fully into my power. I cannot offer enough gratitude and love and reverence for the legacy of love and healing that is and has been unfolding through the Shakti School and thank you spirit for moving through Katie in this way for us all.”

“I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit from this training, for their own enrichment, forwarding a desired life goal, and for the good of the world. So much has changed since Ayurveda School. My health is better, my sleep is much improved, and my spiritual practice has not only deepened but pervaded all parts of my life. What a blessing!”

“Since Ayurveda School, I no longer bypass spiritually. I am way more comfortable being me as a result of the divine and sacred practices of tantra. I loved the mindful meal rituals, cleansing practices, the psycho-spiritual aspects of ayurveda, and how to run a business. I recommend this training for anyone who is unsure of their ability to sustain, “holding it together.” This training is a process of knowing you can let some stuff go and you’ll still be whole and complete.”

“Since participating in Shakti School, I have completely altered my relationship with God. I have put a massive amount of intentional energy into elevating my Spiritual integrity, and I now have a deeply intimate romance with God/Spirit/the Divine, and that was more than I could ever ask for. I have awakened my sensuality and femininity in a deeply fulfilling way, and I have become SO much softer. I feel like SUCH a woman now, and there is NOTHING else I would rather be. I loved the somatic aspects of the course, that we did a lot of body (physical or otherwise)-centric practices during our sessions. I also love that we got such a vast array of knowledge from so many different teachers, and who could NOT love Katie’s spunk and expertise? Being with so many incredibly spiritual and strong women was also SO life-affirming. What a treat to be with MY people.”

“I absolutely would recommend Shakti School and have done so already. I adore all the teachers as each one was knowledgable, incredibly real & full of heart. I had to learn mostly by watching the recordings as my work schedule conflicted with the times of class, but I never felt left out because I wasn’t watching live. It excites me so much that I feel more inspired to share this knowledge to all my family, friends and clients. I am nearly 60 and I am learning about my body things I was never taught, and was afraid to ask about from other women.”

“I love the variety of teachers and their authentic unique backgrounds and approaches to Ayurveda. I love Katie’s captivating realistic modern views of a regular girl. I did not have time to do all of the office hours, but Laurel’s classes were also a delight. I very much appreciated all of the integrated meditations with each lecture. Such a great balance of women’s health, moon cycles, science, nutrition, lifestyle, philosophy, tantra, spirituality and comical real world shit. I think this program has a lot more spark than others that I have looked into or tried.”

“The things I’ve loved and learnt through Shakti School is how I can support my fluctuating hormones, how deeply connected to cycle of the moon we are, knowing how to support my body with oil, herbs spices etc. It has been a game changer. I signed up because I wanted to be able to speak more authoritatively about Ayurveda, in the workshops I was building, which I absolutely can and I got so much more. Some of the emotional shifts that happened along the way were unexpected and life changing. I’m very excited to share this with other women, to re-ignite their inner knowing so they remember who they are and are able to heal themselves from the inside out.”

“There are SO many changes and learnings that I’ve acquired that it’s the BEST INVESTMENT that I have ever made. Thank you GOD. I have never felt better in my life. When I said I had an Awakening, I have. My life is forever changed and I am so very, very grateful to Katie, her Team and all of the phenomenal teachers. I took on something I knew nothing about. I tackled a new language, learned the dhatus (tissues) and channels (systems) of the body, learned so much about women’s health and decisions for good health in general, significance of our digestion and what it impacts, found a new understanding and relationship with food and spices, have a new view on the impact of the moon and seasons, have an comprehension and appreciation for daily self care; rest and reset routines, and took a Sacred Journey of Self Love and Honoring the Divine Feminine that resides within us.”

“This journey of discovering the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda has given me so much clarity around where I was lacking in my mind body connection. It has given me practical tools and beautiful rituals for bringing peace to this Pitta stage of life I find myself in. The teachings in this course have helped immeasurably with my digestive issues, my spiritual connectedness and my trust in the process. The curated effort of so many different aspects of health and wellness offer a true holistic experience that’s outcome is immeasurable!”

“This program has completely changed my life. Through the daily practices and routines, I have found the much-needed discipline that was lacking in my life, and with this has also come passion, excitement, enthusiasm, motivation, drive, ambition in my personal and professional life. I have found my spark again- the light within me. Throughout the year, I had the opportunity to learn from some of the most recognized, inspiring, authentic and yet completely approachable women i have ever encountered. And each class was filled with ancient healing wisdom and techniques taught through practical real-world application in an approach that focused on self-inquiry and individual embodiment. Not only did we learn what the text books said, but we felt it within our unique bodies, and this is what made the content really stick.”

“I have been shouting from the rooftops about this school. It was pure magic for me. At first, I think I was worried how I would fit this learning into my schedule. I soon realized that the classes can be replayed, support was available and I could catch up with no issues. Since doing Ayurveda School, I have found better health physically, a stronger immune system and more presence of mind. I feel a sense of calmness, and acceptance within myself. I loved the energy of our group, and the wisdom of the teachers and fellow classmates was outstanding. I am grateful I found Shakti School and will always be a student of Ayurveda. My journey has just BEGUN!”

“I didn’t start Ayurveda school to “become” anything, I let curiosity lead me even though I felt completely blind to start. This platform is fully supportive of those who are hesitant yet curious. Once classes started my mind was blown and I was ravenous for more. The information is potent and transforming, and delivered in a heart-centered way that lands in your body. Starting level 2 wasn’t even a question after finishing level 1. Shakti School melted deeply held beliefs about my self, family, and women. I feel so honored to be part of a lady tribe of goddesses who embrace being human and the nature that supports her. Through this program I have found a connection to myself that money could never buy because it took hard work to get there, and Shakti School was the most supportive guide to that place. I feel better and I feel whole, I have learned to become my best support and Shakti School taught me that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my hopeful life back. So much love to all the teachers that taught me I am worth it.”

“I loved the INCREDIBLE teachers in Ayurveda School! To sit at the feet of these masterful, gracious and knowledgable women and learn from them was an absolute honour. These are teachings I wish we all learnt in school or ideally passed down by the wise women before us as it was in ancient cultural settings. The training also delivers ancient knowledge in an accessible, understandable, applicable and fun way for us modern ladies! Before doing Ayurveda School, I was hesitant that it was online, however this ended up being the biggest benefit as I could study from afar, not spend time in commuting and work around my own timeline especially during pregnancy. Since Ayurveda School, I have noticed my sleep issues and background anxiety (high vata) have settled so much and that has resulted in wellness in all aspects of my life, including much more vitality during my pregnancy then I would have had without Ayurveda for sure!”

“The strength and confidence that Shakti school propelled me with, allowed me to make made informed, intentional, and intelligent choices regarding my health and my children’s. Some choices weren’t easy, or popular- but I learned the gift of hearing my intuition. As I followed my intuition, I had ancient wisdom and tools to support me…It was so damn beautiful! I truly feel infinitely grateful for the timing of my Ayurvedic journey. Life changing. Additionally, I no longer have symptoms of Lyme. My lifestyle and diet has alleviated my anxiety for the most part. I am mentally, physically, emotionally, intuitively, and spiritually grounded and strong. I hold myself and others with grace and view health and healing as a great joy. In my life I have become a much more gentle and happy woman. I learned how to love myself, how to listen to my needs and desires and fulfill them. Joy and play are so much more prevalent in my life, along with rest and nurturing self rituals. I feel connected to the universe and my community and even to strangers in such an intricate way. Every aspect of life is dynamic and met with much greater curiosity and understanding. I know who I AM!! Even better than that- I FEEL who I AM!! The light behind my eyes is the best part! I am so grateful for the wisdom of Ayurveda as I navigated the Covid narrative (I started Shakti School in 2020). I’m so excited to share all I have learned and bring Ayurveda to the world in a playful, fashionable and colorful way. I am so honored that my Ayurvedic lineage is Shakti School. Thank you. Thank you. Thank You.”

“My life has become so much richer and more balanced since doing Ayurveda School, and I have become so much more empowered and conscious. I love all the different teachers, the topics discussed, and the community. I would love Ayurveda School to continue on!”

“The connection to my own body has now increased to the level that I am deeply aware of all the subtle changes that happen. Through this awareness, I am able to attend to my health needs on regular basis. My menstrual cycle has optimized, my regular headaches are gone and I know how to take care of myself through a holistic approach until the end of my life! I have already been recommending Shakti School to any woman in my life who seeks a deep connection to herself. I deeply recommend Shakti School because this is a life-changing experience, not only through teachings, but especially because of the community!”

“I have felt more connected to my own body than ever and to the shifts and changes in nature and how they effect me since completing this course. I now have the ability to slow down and pay attention to and listen to the signs my own body is sending me. I loved the variety of teachers and topics in this course. I felt that the instructors were so knowledgeable and offered different perspectives and teaching styles. Even if you are unsure of where this certification will take you, it provides life skills for your own personal growth and development.”

“Since Ayurveda School, I have noticed a tremendous change for myself and my husband by incorporating daily Ayurvedic routines, herbs, teas, and a new food plan. The course offers direct application to everyday life. I learned things that should have been taught in grade school and up through high school and college. I would recommend the training to anyone who is interested in staying healthy and out of the struggling US Healthcare system. It is a great DIY to optimal health.”

“Since Ayurveda School, I am now more in tune with my body, my cycles, and I know how to choose what is best for me. I know how to take pause and listen to myself, how to set up a daily and seasonal routine that works for me, and most of all, practices to nurture and love myself more deeply. The depth of the teachings, live sessions, the changing teachers, and the community were the best part. This program is deeply transformational – it is life school indeed.”

“Shakti Ayurveda School is structured in a way that gave me permission to learn with grace. It took off the “pressure” of being the perfect student and allowed space to learn in a way that integrates itself into your being. This approach really encapsulated all of our senses and acknowledged our humanness, so that we could have a safe foundation to take in the wisdom and practices being so beautifully taught. This training provides tangible knowledge that you can apply to support your own health and wellbeing, while giving you the tools to take what you learn and offer it to others as a coach. My life has shifted from a place of fear and lack, to a life guided by immense gratitude and connection to my Divine self. I am more attuned to my mind, body and spirit and how to honor who I am (and my health) as an individual. I have developed beautiful friendships with other Shakti students and I have felt my heart crack wide open to the deep rooted knowledge of Ayurveda. I am grateful to have had this experience in learning through Divine Feminine and acknowledgment of duality. I believe in myself again…. what a beautiful gift that is.”

“Not only do I have a new state of love and awareness in my life since Ayurveda School, but my friends and loved ones are intrigued at how I show up in the world now. They look to me for guidance because I am living breathing proof that Ayurveda and Shakti School can radically shift your existence. Every instructor throughout this course has been a staple experience of Shakti School. Each woman has a vast amount of experience and knowledge. At some point throughout the program you will have your heart melt from a lecture (or many) from the different women teaching this ancient wisdom. It builds on a beautiful community of women, heart and knowledge. Katie has found her calling and perfected a program to help other woman do the same. I have built friendships with other Shakti sisters, expanded my learning through each of the instructors, came to truly understanding myself and my constitution. I am discovering more and more about Mama Earth, herbs, the moon and this gorgeous experience. I could go on and on. There is a pain in my heart knowing that the year has come to an end, but a joy knowing that I took the chance on this program and myself.”

I would recommend Ayurveda School because it is a thorough in depth introduction to Ayurveda with good value and is thoroughly practical for application for myself and others. It is a great addition to yoga and meditation teaching. All lectures were poignant, interesting and useful and the practices were relevant and helpful. Since doing Ayurveda School, I am a lot more aware of what is going on in my body and mind.”

“I was hesitant about the time commitment. As a mother of 3, I wasn’t sure how this was going to work out for me. I am glad I followed my intuition to allow it to flow because I was able to build wonderful connections with like-minded Shakti sisters, as well as grow spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally throughout this past year. Since Ayurveda School, I am more present, more mindful, more attuned/aware of my body and it’s functions. I have more appreciation for the holistic lifestyle that Ayurveda brings. There is so much golden wisdom in the teaching/learning that I feel this is a must for everyone. I wish I would have learned about this earlier in my life!”

“Since doing Ayurveda School, I have become aware of imbalances with myself and my clients, have a broader perspective on solving imbalances, and am more careful with nutrition and sleep. I loved the different teachers, different teaching styles, the own pace learning was possible, and there were lots of input + knowledge. This training gave an amazing overview on the coaching perspective of Ayurveda and how lifestyle changes can be thoroughly advised and implemented.”

“I have attended many different pieces of training in my life, but nothing as deep and meaningful as this. If you are wanting to tap into your inner power, Shakti School will bring that inner goddess out of you. Katie’s classes were filled with so much good energy! Every class was exciting. Ayurveda Wednesday was a sacred time and I felt excited to connect with everyone on the lives. Since Ayurveda school, I feel more connected, more aware, more balanced and less helpless. I know that I can take control of my health and wellness, and correct imbalances because now I am better tuned into my body.”

“This year has been an experience I could have never imagined, I’ve learned to heal myself first and with this, how to be a companion in the healing journey of women that cross paths with me. Shakti school has given me an amazing gift, one of connection with the most sacred part inside of me and of empathy with mother earth and all that inhabits her. With the company of amazing teachers and other students that have now become my Shakti sisters, I’ve learned how to walk this sacred path of what it means to be a woman. I look back at January when I first started and smile, for it has been a pleasure. I can certainly say this school marks the beginning of a life journey I am very excited to walk on. I am completely in love with Shakti School, I would recommend it because it would make me so happy to have other woman walk this journey of self discovery.”

“Since Ayurveda School, I’ve noticed that I’ve been more aware of my limitations and have become more comfortable sitting with my experiences. The tantric teachings and meditations were my favorite! I’d love to do a whole course with just those!”

“So much has changed since Ayurveda School! I feel empowered, in control of my life, even in difficult situations. I love the fact that this program was taught by woman for woman. I am truly grateful to have been able to attend this program and can’t wait to start Level Two! Thank you kindly to all the wonderful teachers and all the beautiful souls that attended the course with me.”

“When I began Ayurveda school, I was exhausted. I had many tools, but I wasn’t employing them. Ayurveda school gave me the space for that to be okay and the encouragement to make the change. As a result I am wiser, more confident, and have a deeper understanding of what real transformation looks like. This is a wonderful container for learning the basics of ayurveda AND more importantly for learning or refining how you relate to and care for yourself.”

“Being able to become an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach is truly only the plus, I’d say the biggest takeaway was understanding who I am and my tendencies to bring healing and balance to myself. Since Ayurveda School, I’ve been cooking with more spices and with intention. In this way, I feel more connected to my food than I ever had. Health wise, my digestion has become tame and I’ve become more grounded! With all that modern life demands, I had lost the connection with myself or at least the connection needed redefining and I have Shakti School to thank for helping me mend and feel this new connection with Self. Since youth, I was conditioned to go-go-go and became addicted to stress and needing to perform well all of the time. I was heavily in my masculine and never truly nourished myself. I was completely depleted, out of touch with my sensual self and making decisions that never were aligned with my Higher Self. Now I know when to slow down, how to nourish my body with rest and grounding foods and have enjoyed practices such as yoni steaming.”

“It’s hard to compare my life & health prior to Ayurveda. I’ve studied & worked in spirituality & well-being for 10+ years. I am not the same woman, mother, lover or business woman. This course has supported me in EVERY area of my life. I love Katie’s incredible humility, wisdom, compassion, intelligence AND juice! AND the amazing guest teachers. I have done SO many trainings/qualifications/retreats/workshops in relation to healing, health, somatic movement, coaching, meditation, yoga, leadership, business development, channeling, manifesting (etc. etc.) and this is ~ BY FAR ~ the best course I have ever done. If your heart is whispering to you, honour her call ~ she is guiding You!”

“I think this is a fantastic program for people to dive deeper into themselves when they are ready to take that journey. It is extremely user friendly so for anyone working or who is a mom, this program is perfectly suited for them to complete! It has inspired me to make lot of changes in my life and changes that are leading me closer to myself. If someone else is feeling called to take this journey, Shakti school is it! Since doing Ayurveda School, I feel like I have been way more intuitive with the foods I am eating and HOW they are working in my body. I am now focusing more on eating foods that I NEED rather than what I WANT. I developed a beautiful morning/evening routine, which I fall out of from time to time, but I now know how to jump back in. I feel more in touch with my beautiful feminine form and expressing her in ways of yoga, dance, communication, etc. I am SO grateful for this program for bringing so much light into my world.”

“This was the best training I’ve ever done. Ayurveda was explained in a very accessible and fun way. So much great support in how to apply ancient wisdom to our modern world. In the very first lecture, Katie said “magic will happen in this school,”….and magic is what I felt. Since Shakti School, I have experienced a deeper connection to nature, more rhythm, less guilt about self care, calmer and more relaxed about life, more likely to do the things that bring me joy and pleasure, more connected to my moon cycle and sensuality, deeper understanding of what feminine form means, and how I can apply that idea to my life. I loved the variety of teachers, it was very structured and organized, we were able to ask questions in real time, and offices hours and the manual were super helpful.”

“Ayurveda is totally life-changing and this program allows for accountability and structure to be implemented beautifully into your lifestyle. This is wisdom for the soul. I have been 200% more intentional about connecting with myself, foods, nature & others in relationships since Ayurveda School.”

“I loved Katie’s lectures! They are electric and so damn inspiring. My heart and fire feels bigger afterwards. Her words just seem to resonate so deeply it’s uncanny. I also loved Laurel’s office hours to get more intimate talks going and to speak more. Since Shakti School, I’ve been able to identify different states in my body and realize that they might not actually be me or my personality, but just dosha’s unbalanced. This was huge for me. This is the first winter where I’m seeing with Ayurvedic eyes how my anxiety is fueled by the season! I haven’t yet turned the corner to pacify vata but I at least have concepts to explore that are known to help! I would recommend the training to anyone who wants a deep dive into a new side of health and wellness, and to anyone looking to come back to themselves.”

“Since Shakti School, I have noticed PROFOUND healing. Complete shift in my relationship with the world. A home-coming to the value of the Feminine that has always been within me. A valuing of myself. A deeper honoring of others. A sacred relationship with all of life. I specifically love the energetic and nervous system practices in the program, soaking up all the knowledge, that I had the time to process and revisit it all, the marriage of the focus on embodiment and the practical implementation techniques. Your life will be changed, whether you use the certification actively or not.”

“I don’t think there are even words that I can put on how different I feel since Shakti School. There is a congruence within me that feels like the beginning of a seed growing. An acceptance & compassion towards myself, like nothing I have ever experienced before. While I know there is room for improvement in certain areas, I’m happy to take my time and only do what I am able for, and I’m not giving myself a hard time for it. I can look at the things that trigger me in a new way, and I have fallen in love with my menstrual cycle. I don’t have the urge for gossiping in the same way & I’m giving less to relationships that don’t fulfill may in the same way. I would recommend this training because it really does have the ability to change your life.”

“Since doing Ayurveda School, I’ve noticed myself being more connected to my true essence. I listen to my body, I consciously use my senses to have more simple pleasures in life. I am more grounded, I happily set healthy boundaries, I am more trusting in myself. I value myself more than ever before and it’s only growing. I also loved that there were many different teachers. It felt really nice to learn from different women and their many different perspective. It helped me connect the dots of knowledge and turn it into wisdom. I would recommend this training because it’s the real deal. The answering of this deep call forces to look so deeply within yourself, finding overflowing love and compassion that the world so desperately needs.”

“I’ve always been drawn to Ayurveda but was held back because I thought I’d need to know a lot more Sanskrit, which I have since learned that is not true. My age has also held me back, thinking I’m too old to embark on anything new. Since starting Shakti School, I have become so much more aware of myself, my environment, and my food. I am more mindful of what I eat and what I put on my skin. I love the container Shakti School provides, it really does give one a feeling of safety. I love that there is no judgement, everyone is accepted unconditionally and this is felt even in the online platform. Acceptance of all is unspoken but practiced and felt in all aspects of the program. I would recommend it to any female to learn about their unique body and to connect back to themselves to let love, sensuality and everything else flow freely within.”

“Things will change when you do this training, your thoughts will change, your heart will change, your body will change. It is not only a chance to be able to learn and share these teachings with other people but an absolute depth in discovery of the self. When I first started this training I felt like I was in a really good place in my life and now feel more humble, powerful, juicy, loving and resilient than I thought I ever would.  Through this process, I have learned these teachings are more valuable than any penny and will extend from my body and my mind to generations underneath me. I could not recommend this more to every woman and every man to understand and break down the walls of what we believe our health to be.”

“I have finally stepped more fully into my feminine. I have led a very masculine dominated life, and never truly felt my femininity from the heart. I have been working on myself for years now, and Shakti School was the delicious icing on the cake, bringing together everything I have learned and so much more magic to boot. Shakti School gives you the sense of being welcomed unconditionally. The teachers and all staff are just out of this world. If I won the lottery right now, I would gift this experience to women all over the world. Truly life-changing for so many and this is the medicine our planet needs to thrive once more. We all need this safe container in which to flourish and step into our true selves.”

“I feel that this course has beautifully tied in my other interests and knowledge base. It only makes me want to dive deeper in continuing to not only integrate Ayurvedic practices but also create a community. The fire only continues to grow in my belly. The virtual classes made things work for with my schedule. I was working a full time job in education as an administrator during the pandemic. It was difficult to manage, but with the time frame and the people involved in our education, once I had the chance to tune in, I was engaged. These classes are foundational to this changing world. I wish that I would have been able to have my friends and family listen in with me as I was going through these classes because it makes life richer for everybody. What could dramatically and beautifully change in the world if this was more available? I am incredibly fortunate to have found Shakti School to deepen my love for myself and this profound ancient practices that have continued to evolve with the people who carry on this oral tradition.”

“I have become more confident, embodied and empowered in my sense of self since Ayurveda School. I have deep felt understanding of my unique experience as well as the experience of those that I interact with. I loved that there was a range of different teachers that were all so uniquely different. I definitely felt like I resonated and learned more from some more so than others but I pay that to each of us having such unique ways of learning and receiving information. I feel like Shakti School definitely allows everyone to learn in their own unique way by offering different teachers and teaching styles. I would recommend this training to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of their personal health experience and looking to empower themselves with simple practices, rituals and wisdom to heal themself. This training really invited me to soften into my intuition and my own body based wisdom. It allowed me to keep the structure within my life, but know that structure exists so that I can be soft, feminine and receptive.”

“The moment I came across Shakti School I knew it was something I had to do. Since Ayurveda School, I am more aware of what is going on in my body, mind, and spirit. I came to the realization that I want to work with pregnant women to help them navigate their postpartum journey. I like the way classes were structured and I love that the school is centered around women’s health. Life changing!”

“At first, I hesitated about the monetary investment. However, I knew in my bones that money is never a good reason to not do something. Since beginning with the Shakti school, I have learned to follow my own intuition and trust that everyone’s healing journey is divine & unique to themselves. I love how much content is shared in Ayurveda School. At first it can feel overwhelming, however, I saved the extra reads and other resources for later, and intend to review the course a second time this year – while integrating the other resources I didn’t have room to digest the first time! You receive so much love in the form of guidance, sisterhood, practice of devotion, & if you want to dive deeply into the emotional, spiritual and esoteric realms of life & healing – then this course is for you!”

“Since doing Ayurveda School, I trust my gut- my intuition. I have more power behind my “yes” and my “no”. I also pay more attention to the little details of life & have found myself making lifestyle & health adjustments instinctively to balance my dosha. Katie has a way of giving grace to the material; she allows you to let go of the rules that can be overwhelming and instead guides you to use intuition & what works for your body and life.”

“I have expanded my understanding of self-care beyond my comprehension three years ago. Not only that, but I have gained the knowledge of tradition, ritual, innate wisdom, science, language, philosophy, confidence and community. I am wholly better for it; and now my community will be too. I loved the space-holding: weekly sessions I poured myself into, curriculum with accountability, and connecting in sisterhood. I also agree with the sentiment that Katie shares: Year 1 should be a requirement for all individuals who feel connected to the feminine physicality and energy.”

“I am much more in touch with myself and know better how to identify my own needs and address them using practical tools that were taught during the course. I also feel much more empowered and confident. My new daily Ayurveda practices have proven to be extremely useful to keep me grounded, calm, and happy. I now seem to know when and how to keep myself in a peaceful and harmonious state (most of the time :)) I would absolutely recommend Shakti School for any woman seeking a greater connection to her femininity, her true self, and her own power. The course is well designed and taught by very passionate and competent teachers. The Ayurvedic practices and meditations we learn are life changing and create a safe haven to go back to when life gets too chaotic, or stressful. And last, but not least, just being surrounded by a group of like-minded women, in a completely non-judgmental space, gives you a sense of belonging and safety.”

“How do I explain that my whole being has shifted? We learned of the physical Ayurvedic practices and principles of course, but the biggest changes were deeper than the physical. Throughout my time in Shakti School I learned how to be my own friend, sister and mother. I have a new much kinder approach to my wellness and a deeper awareness for my emotional and subconscious body. Shakti School was life changing. The guidance into self is incredible and so necessary in a world with so much external noise.”

“Since the start of Shakti School, hundreds of things have changed, incrementally and over-time. These changes have deepened the way I interact with the world, widened my lens of compassion for everyone living in the modern world, and softened the relationship I have with myself. My health is by no means perfect, but Shakti School has helped me release the need for perfection and given me tools to widen the window to what is sacred inside me, exactly as I am. I loved the module breakdown of materials, venturing deeply into a topic through the lens of different teachers each and every month was so helpful for seeing this information from lots of different perspectives and understandings. My favorite modules were skincare & herbalism, unraveling the female sexual experience and what pleasure can mean, rediscovering the magic inherent in the female body, and postpartum care. Even if you have no interest in becoming an Ayurvedic Coach or Counselor, this program has given me so many practical and pleasure-centered tools to reach for in times of transition and change (which is all the time in our lives as humans) and I know I will be using the wisdom I gained in the Shakti School everyday for the rest of my life.”

“I have a deeper relationship with my body, with plants, with my breath, and with the world around me. I have gained an understanding of what feminine form means – embodying the beautiful rhythms that it allows instead of being so restrictive with self-imposed rules. My health is still the same but now I have so many tools to nurture and nourish it in a cyclical way of understanding. This training imparts experiential wisdom through a lens that honors both the ancient and modern. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll try things you’ve never tried before. You’ll remember that which you’ve always known. You’ll heal…and in that healing- you’ll become equipped and empowered to share that authentic gift with others. This time in Shakti School has been a sacred virtual space for me through many life happenings over the past two years. From experiencing a second miscarriage and having the FB group supporting me through it to having the incredible opportunity to write an article for LoveFit this past June – what an honor!! ….and so much more. Thank you for everything.”

“After Ayurveda School, now I understand why when certain things in my body are happening I crave “things”. For example sometimes its food, places, or activities. I feel I have a better understanding of the healthy alternatives. As well, as when the cravings will exacerbate the an imbalance. I’d absolutely recommend Level 1 Ayurveda! So much variety.”

“I have been studying Ayurveda for years, but feel like I finally found the program that was made for me within Shakti School. Katie’s approach to Ayurvedic medicine (and healing in general) feels radical and revolutionary, yet simultaneously known and familiar, like coming home to an old and powerful friend. This program covers the basic foundations of Ayurveda in a clear and concise way that is accessible and fun. But it is also so much bigger than Ayurveda. It taps into the essence of healing itself, and our connection to the universal laws of nature that exist outside of any one path or tradition. This course goes way beyond any other that I have come across by asking us to dive deep into our own experience, our own bodies, our own wisdom, and our own power.”

“What I liked most about the program was the variety of different teachers, all bringing their own expertise and enthusiasm for Ayurveda. I would recommend the program for anyone interested in self development, spirituality, and health.”

“Me siento lo más completa y saludable que he estado en mucho tiempo y siendo mi propia guía en el camino. Con sólo tomar el primer nivel eres capaz de hacerte cargo de ti y de acompañar a tu familia y comunidad a tomar mejores decisiones para lo que quieren lograr en sus vidas. Shakti te muestra todas las caras posibles para poder dirigirte al balance de tu Ser. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, hay muchísima información valiosa, docentes de primer nivel y el programa en verdad tiene la herramientas necesarias para llevarte a tomar las riendas de tu vida y comenzar a caminar hacia un lugar más completo, amoroso y saludable.”

“First and foremost, Katie has a great personality; she is able to convey the deepest and most complex knowledge with a sense of simplicity and a good dose of humor. Her team of teachers is amazing, each of them very different but experts in their domains. Of course, we learn of lot and we practice most of it, which is great. I like that it stays practical and applicable to real modern life. But most importantly, I think what I like the most in this training is the sense of sorority that we has developed: I feel part of a tribe of passionate women, from all ages and horizons, searching, learning, sharing and supporting each other. It is a great feeling, it has helped me unleash my feminine power and balance my very masculine tendency. I can see a real difference in my daily life: I am more peaceful, more joyful, more patient, more feminine overall.”

“Before I signed up for Ayurveda School, I knew something was missing. I was struggling to find something deeper than my yoga practice, to feel a deeper connection to my feminine heart, to find a healing routine, to understand the whys and hows of my hormones and to create a more loving relationship to food, nature and the pulsing of my own life force. I truly found all of these things over the past year and I have never felt better. I was especially happy to find a training where I had the freedom to be a part of the classes from my home, on my own time. It really fits my life and I can’t wait to get home every Wednesday night for Ayurveda lecture!”

“Where to begin…..this year has-been a year of self-discovery, surrendering, and self-renewal. Shakti School opened a window to my Spirit, mind, and body. A way to reprocess old patterns of living, thinking, praying, feeling, and eating. A school of innovative teachers, who give 100% of themselves during their time with-you. Shakti’s Ayurveda, feminine form medicine, program, can be comparable to three-years of education at a university. After three months of the first training, I already knew that I would sign up for year two. So, if you are looking for “TRUTH, HONEST, SELF-ACTUALIZATION or a TRIBE”, you have found the school. If you are looking to broaden, your healing modalities or to offer more to your clients then this is the school for you. Get ready for both a personal and professional LIFE-CHANGER.”

“Ayurveda came to me on sacred ground and I knew I had to dive in to Shakti School. It’s been so much more than I could have expected. I wanted to learn about the ancient practices, but have been fulfilled feeling part of a global community of women, connected by Dharma and lineage. Taking these classes on my own time has been invaluable. Studying with teachers across the world can only happen here. Ayurveda school will forever be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”

“My goal this past year was to bring in more feminine flow into my life. After going through Ayurveda school I cannot believe how much more in-touch I am with my feminine side. I’ve brought so much of what I’ve been learning to my clients to help them awaken the shakti within them. Body yantra, pelvic play, and surrendering have been my focus this past year. I feel confident to be myself once more.”

“I have always had a passion for health and wellness so when my sister showed me that Katie Silcox had an Ayurveda school it felt like it had been written just for me. I am now 10 months into studying and it was the best decision ever. Being a mum of three life can be very busy and stressful. I have learnt how to love and care for myself and be more in balance so that I am less stressed and calm and our life has definitely benefited. The whole household has now taken on Ayurveda and we eat better, sleep better and spend more time doing what we love. Katie is an incredibly inspiring teacher and her lectures are fun, current and informative. She has created an amazing line-up of teachers each month to add their skills and knowledge to the school too. Joining Ayurveda school was the best decision for me and I can’t wait to see what year two has in store for us. Emily xxx”

“This past year with Shakti School has brought so much more into my life than I had hoped for. I joined the 300-hour Ayurveda training because I wanted to have a better grounding in ayurveda to bring to my offerings and trainings for my company, Om Fairy. Within the first month I gained so much clarity around the basics of ayurveda that I hadn’t in previous trainings. As the year went on, I found the answers to most of the health questions I’ve had over the past years that have went unanswered by traditional allopathic doctors, which has resulted in me feeling better than ever. From a business perspective, this course has inspired me to step fully into the mission of my business, to inspire trust in your own wisdom and intuition. Katie has created an unbelievable program that taps into best of all worlds. Multiple viewpoints from some of most influential teachers in the realm of yoga and ayurveda. The clarity this course has given me has helped fully blossom the offerings I had visions of coming into this school a year ago.”

“Level 2 of Ayurveda School allowed me to integrate the knowledge I gained from Level 1. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned in Level 1 while diving deeper into the vast ocean of Katie’s wisdom partnered with the amazing roster of experts in the field of all things Ayurveda I will admit my Ayurveda school has been my gift to myself. This program has allowed me to heal myself and soar in my life. It is certainly the best investment in myself that I have ever made!”

Shakti School completely changed my life. I see things differently, I feel different, I want completely different things. A combination of the Ayurveda program and the yoga trainings completely transformed me.

Shakti School’s Ayurveda program has been nothing shy of life changing for me. Before I started this course I was searching for a deeper and more meaningful aspect of yoga, self care, and life in general. This course has provided all of that and more. I feel nourished and supported by the teachings of Ayurveda, and within the container of the Shakti School community I feel seen, heard, and held in true feminine power. The teachings offered up are potent tools of self transformation, and the teachers transmitting this ancient wisdom are passionate, knowledgeable guides in this journey. This program IS the road less traveled, a journey back to your own heart, and an exploration of self that will bring you to your highest calling, whatever that may be.

My life has completely changed since taking this course. To pin-point on a specific aspect would be literally impossible. However, my view of life and how to approach it’s challenges has completly changed. I have been provided tools to tap into the deepest parts of me that have been crying for attention and I wasn’t even aware. I am beginning to heal emotional and generational patterns that I have longed to heal. My relationships with those I love are becoming deeper as I am beginning to see that we are all holding a sense of trauma that is causing us to respond in different ways. I am being able to show up with more love and compassion in those situations. I loved that the program allowed for complete flexibility. Working full time, I was unable to attend any live classes. However, through the recordings I felt completely connected and was able to take the course at the pace that worked well with me. Especially during the more challenging modules that I felt I needed to work through and would often take up to a week to complete. I am forever grateful for the first week in which Katie spoke so deep to my heart in releasing me from the fear of “adding” something to my life in a negative way and helped me realize I could do it at my own pace, for that I will FOREVER be grateful for!

I’m more connected to my body, more present with Her. I deepened my connection to the divine and to my Feminine energy, which improved all relationships around me. I also feel more energized and ‘clearer’ in my body, mind and spirit. this course also confirmed that my path it coaching other women and doing it in the most holistic and feminine way. Thank you! The enjoyed the variety of themes (as a proper Sagittarius I’m curious about EVERYTHING) and the expertise of the different teachers. All amazing women! I appreciate the fact that we can always go back to the lessons and rewatch them and download lessons’ pdfs! so I would say the website platform in general is really functional. I also really like the fact that we can connect through the online forum.

I enjoyed the Nutrition section the most! It aligned so much with my interests and professional work, and gave me an incredible sense of the deep-soul food (knowledge) I was missing. Without a single doubt – this is the course I would recommend to all of my friends. Thank you for a beautiful experience!

I loved the feminine approach to everything that we learned. In the past, I had studied Ayurveda and felt very boxed in by the rules. Through the Shakti School, I have learned to listen deeply to what my body needs while applying the healing principles of Ayurveda and feminine form medicine. I would absolutely recommend the training because it is very holistic and touches on so many elements of the spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional. There is something for everyone. I think it led a lot of people to find their direction because we delved deep into so many new and different areas, that we could really see what resonated with our hearts and follow that passion. There is a lot of healing available through this training if you put the work in. I’m really grateful to Katie, Amaury, and all of the teachers at the Shakti School for sharing their wisdom with us. I leave the program with a greater sense of clarity in my purpose, feeling inspired and much more prepared to help others in this world in a way that feels very meaningful for me.

Discovering yoga many years ago helped me to connect all the puzzle pieces of my life. Ayurveda Shakti-School-style deepened and solidified everything I already knew spiritually, and the practical routines I learned have been invaluable. I feel I know myself, the way my body works and what it needs much better. I highly recommend Shakti School. It is a unique training that is deeply satisfying in so many ways, like a nutritious delicious dish. Each different teacher brings her own special way to cook, spice and serve Ayurvedic wisdom. It is well organized with the mixture of weekly lectures and bi-monthly office hours. One of the best parts of the training is the bond formed between all the students. I’m 59 and most other women are in their 20s and 30s, but I never felt any difference between us. Our souls beat to the same rhythm. The support and wisdom in this group is heartwarming. I’ve taken many trainings and this is not always the case. We are all in Shakti School because we care and to help make the world a better place, and it’s tangible. This training attracts seekers. The spiritual lessons are mind-blowing! I love it when Katie preaches! I love the mind/emotional work, the body Yantras, Mary T.’s power point lectures (she’s so thorough) and all the other teachers are fantastic. I need to watch all the lessons again. They are such a wealth of knowledge. Laurel is a gem in Office Hours, so nurturing and supportive! She explains so many things we didn’t understand during the lectures and makes it so relatable.

I absolutely recommend this course! This course provides so much wisdom as well as space to dive into practices and integrate each aspect into your life in a way that feels right uniquely for you and your body. I am so much more aware of how i through myself out of balance and into stress. This course has provided me with the tools, awareness and confidence I needed to step unapologetically into my dharma and into my truth. I will never forget nor deviate far from the magic and wisdom that this course has poured into my heart and life. Katie is spirit animal and her raw, real, beauty will make you fall in love with all the wild, wonderous aspects of your own wonderful, witchy, woman self! Thank you with all of my heart for the blessing and experience of Shakti School.

In the last 12 months I had changes I didn’t had in the last 10 years! I’ll just say no more painful menstrual cramps, daily bowel movements, best skin ever and I have created my own business! This still feels crazy to me, I love it! The embodiment and experiencing part was my favorite, it already started with Katie saying: feel into your body, what doshas or elements of nature do you most feel in your body, is it wind, earth, fire or water? Completely another approach to what I knew about doshas and ayurveda up until that point. Just blew my mind! This  should be implemented in every womens life, like real school is, we should all know and experience this embodied informations as soon as possible. Thank you from the bottom of my whole body for creating this programme, it absolutely changed my life in a completely unexpected way! I had no idea what was gonna happen, I just knew from the beginning it’s going to be so much fun and it’s going to be great! And so it was, and on top of that I got to create my own business and share my passion!

This program has deepened my knowledge and connection to myself, my body, and nature in powerful ways. It has changed my life (personal and professional) forever. I have made friends who I know will be life long. I think that if everyone went through this training and expanded their world view through Ayurvedic knowledge, and specifically the feminine form taught in the Shakti School the world would be a much more joy-filled and peaceful place. I loved Katie’s live lectures. Coming together as a group live was very special and I was always so grateful to be there! Having her back was always a treat. Also, the diversity of teachers. I loved all of the different backgrounds and perspectives. Siva’s discussions around the emotional links were especially interesting to me too. I loved the variety of learning environments – live lectures, office hours (so so valuable!!), and Ayurveda buddies.

During the last year, as a yoga instructor, I intuitively started to add meditation and the importance of food to support the body to my clients. But I needed something else to support that and ‘came across’ the Shakti School. The universe gives us what we need when we need it, right!? The Shakti School gives us the tools to be our authentic selves and to go out into the world to share our medicine.

Women in general whole heartedly will benefit from this even if its just for personal insight, although I feel like the more you get into it through out the year you just eventually want to share it or do something with it to spread that knowledge and share with other women. Ahhh the empowerment, confidence, love, bliss, truth that Shakti School is rare to find these days in programs. I have a deeper self awareness on how to meet my needs and take radical responsibility and honesty for my life. I appreciated all the different teachers and their backgrounds. So unique and having variety just makes things so much juicier to understand and perceive!

To anyone considering joining this program here is your YES sign! Embarking on this journey to connect with Ayurveda and the ancient lineage not only helps you heal, but it also helps the earth heal. When respected, honored, and implemented correctly you have the power to unveil all blockages and message them out of your physical and emotional body. Not only will you become more comfortable, confident, and in love with the unique nature of YOU, but you will be able to help others do the same. I am more connected to my physical and emotional body’s wants and needs. My digestion has improved so much, that I no longer need to take supplements. I feel more comfortable and confident in who I am and how I show up in this world. THANK YOU.

I appreciate Katie’s take on Ayurveda. I think incorporating our own personal lineage and life experiences into our Ayurvedic journey brings a whole new, fully embodied approach to this ancient wisdom of life-care. I used a lot of knowledge while trying to conceive and was then pregnant throughout most of Shakti School. I am very excited to start reintegrating more practices now in the postpartum period, and am excited to share with my daughter as she grows.

This program should be part of curriculum in all public schools as it isn’t just about Ayurveda, but a way back to oneself and unity of body, mind and soul. I’m more tuned into my physical and emotional body. I often ask for the guidance and learn to listen. I feel more in balance and better equipped for tools to pick myself up. I am forever grateful for being immersed in this soul warming experience with all the women, both teachers and students.

I would highly recommend this training to anyone who is slightly interested. She will not be disappointment. It was better than I could have imagined – and I’m often overly optimistic 🙂 The teachings are exactly what I need to hear when I need to hear them. The curriculum truly promotes health in all areas – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. And the community of women was amazing. I feel like I have found my tribe. I am so much more aware of how I’m feeling at any given moment and feel empowered to make lifestyle choices that will help me feel better. I am also more in tune with how my emotions affect my physical health.

my whole life has changed for the better. This program allowed to first deepen and understand how to simply identify the different emotions, and states of health or imbalance in my personal life. and then it gave me the real tools to help with what i had identified. that teachers where so inspiring and clear and gave me what to aspire to as a the practitioner i hope to become. loyal to the tradition, but modern and kind in the approach. I look forward to level 2, and actively recommend this program to anyone interested in learning about ayurveda in an in depth program. thank you, really from the bottom of my heart. this program changed my life for the positive and i feel so much more stable, more connected to the linage and excited about the future.

The teachings are vital for women in our society at this moment in time! It’s like all the stuff we should have learned growing up. It is so important to learn how to process our feelings, thoughts, and emotions, and have a true connection to ourselves and the divine creative force! Katie and her expert team of healers, leaders, and teachers are top notch and translate the information and pass it along in such a way to keep you ignited and sparked and take your own healing in your own hands! THANK YOU! SAT NAM

I would absolutely recommend this training. I truly wish this was an offering to all women, all girls as part of our upbringing and in schools. This is such a unique training. I feel really really blessed to have found Shakti School. I enjoyed the live classes in which the energy could be felt vs. only having an evergreen recorded program – the teachings related to our current time, current events and that was huge in 2020. The diverse mix of class experiences: philosophical learnings, hands on cooking, scientific hard skills, and engaging in practices. The follow-up time in office hours, The real-time practices of tantra and Sadhana. And I liked that the exam is open book! I learned a lot taking the exams because I had to dive deep into the texts.

Although there is SO much to learn in Ayurveda, the fundamental basics of the science overlap to form a way of thinking and seeing instead of a memorization strategy. This allows such a strong foundation to build on the knowledge with true understanding. I also love the incorporation of the self, the subtle Ayurveda, the feminine form that calls on our teachers to have us move around/dance, meditate or ground ourselves before each class. The VP in me wants to go go go and doesn’t feel there is enough time in the day, so this was very healing to have built into the classes. It allows me to give myself permission to do this outside of my classes as well. Thank you for that grace. Even if I wasn’t planning on using this in my career (which I am), I would’ve still been so eternally grateful for the information I learned. I truly feel like I leveled up in life in such a huge way. I am not only able to be there for myself in a deeper way, but my community and family as well. It is stabilizing and enriching.

I would and have highly recommended this training program to so many women who are looking to better themselves and to better the world. It’s amazing what we can do when we are self empowered through knowledge and experience. All things are possible. My faith has exponentially increased since the start of this course. I have always heard all things are possible, but now I truly now and believe it in my bones. This is the foundation for my dreams. I also have much more vitality, self awareness, and passion for life and sharing life/love.
