Become an Ayurvedic Consultant

With many trainings for Ayurveda, so few really teach you the art of hands-on Ayurvedic Counselling. In this course, we teach and practice Vedic Counselling skills, run case studies and small group practicums. You receive all the client intake forms and education needed including handouts and supplemental materials to support your clients. Additionally, you'll receive a comprehensive keynote presentation to tailor to your community and unique offering - along with bonus materials, a dedicated AIN 2 manual, on-going support & annual continued education for all AIN students. By the end you'll have all the tools you'll need to get started, or to grow and expand your services. 

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda means the Science of Life, or Longevity. It is a profound wisdom tradition dating back 5-8,000 years. Ayurvedic nutrition offers us a powerful and proven pathway to wholesomeness, optimal wellness, radiant health and vibrant living. It is time-tested, nature-based, and rooted in the fundamental principle that you are what you eat; that the distinction between health and disease is the quality of your digestion.


Please note: AIN 1, or a foundation in Ayurveda, is a prerequisite to joining AIN 2.

Weekly Wednesdays

Enjoy Consistent Support in Compassionate Care

 A key learning technique in Ayurveda is Pratyaksha - to learn by direct experience. Wednesday Live Classes are a time to explore, reflect, deepen, practice, expand and  learn from others. There will be prompts for you to consider prior to class and to discuss. Together we  will practice Vedic counseling skills and workshop case studies. Occasionally we have guest experts join us to share their wisdom and experience. 

At the heart of Ayurveda is the understanding that we are all unique, and we respond to everything uniquely. The best way we learn how to tailor Ayurveda to individual needs is to learn from one another, to experience first-hand how uniquely we each experience life and its variety. It brings such a golden joy, a sacred sumptuousness to life when we shift to this curiosity mindset.

Ayurveda From the Heart

Ayurveda has been a game changer for me, and I’ve seen it change the lives of hundreds. My mother is a living testament of the power of Ayurveda to nourish longevity. At 83 years old she is a force - living without pain, without medications, without struggle, she walks three miles a day, plays golf, enjoys great friendships, actively supports the arts, education and families, and continues to be a great, engaged mom, aunt and grandmother to over 40 of us “kids”!

It means so much to me to be able to share the gift of Ayurveda with my loved ones, and with you!
