Description and Scope
The scope of practice for this seminar course is focused on a general well person's constitution, (Prakrti and Vikrti), basic imbalances of doshas and, agni. After the successful completion of this seminar, students will be able to create simple recommendations using dietary, lifestyle, and contemplative practices like meditation, herbs, dosha specific recipes, self-care daily routine and seasonal routine strategies to encourage a lifestyle of balance.
The Ayurvedic Counselor will be able to educate the general public regarding basic tenets of Ayurveda and suggest some daily routine or seasonal routine practices.
Our Ayurveda Counselor (Hybrid version) meets the competencies required for professional membership at the Ayurvedic Health Counselor with NAMA. Students can choose to do a portion of the internship in-person to qualify for the NAMA Certification board exam. Those students who do not plan to take the board exam may pursue this 100% online. The internship status (in person or online) will be reflected in students' transcripts.
