What is an Ayurveda Health Counselor?

On completion of the 2 year Fundamentals of Ayurvedic Medicine program, graduates will be certified Ayurvedic Health Counselors and can begin seeing clients immediately. As we are a state licensed college, you do not need any additional testing or certification after graduating. This qualification allows you to assess a client's constitution (prakruti) and imbalances (vikruti), and offer guidance to restore balance using Ayurvedic diet, lifestyle and herbs.

This course builds your knowledge from the ground up and is often the first course students take when starting in Ayurveda. It is an in-depth program that includes ALL of the fundamentals of Ayurvedic medicine theory, as well as extensive knowledge of Ayurveda's approach to specific diseases using herbs, diet & lifestyle. You will learn how different disease states are related to the person as a whole.

Advanced Degrees in Ayurveda

After graduating from a counselor level program, students may continue to advanced degrees as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Ayurvedic Doctor, or Ayurvedic Digestive Health Coach.

About John Joseph Immel

About the Author

John Immel, the founder of Joyful Belly, teaches people how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle with Ayurveda biocharacteristics. His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.

John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.

John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 7 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
