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 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.Leave a Comment / Question
