You feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting wellness wisdom out there, and struggle to discern what is supportive for which client.
You’re tired of surface-level wellness that doesn’t touch the root cause
You love the idea of a “mind-body-spirit” approach to wellness - this resonates in your being but you have no idea where to begin.

What makes this Certification different?
Other trainings teach modalities; we teach integration.
The Integrative Ayurveda Practitioner Certification combines ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern nervous system science through my proprietary AyurSomatic Method™ - a clear, step-by-step framework that helps you assess, map, and support any client across mind, body, and spirit.
No more guessing what to recommend
No more piecing together random protocols
No more imposter syndrome
You’ll master a truly multidimensional approach
At the heart of this certification are two powerful sciences that form your base framework:
Ayurveda and Polyvagal Theory.
Together, they give you the map to understand how the mind, body, and nervous system interact, bridging ancient self-healing wisdom with modern neuroscience.
From this foundation, you’ll learn to integrate a full spectrum of modalities of transformation that bring theory into embodied practice.
This is where ancient wisdom meets evidence-based tools and where you become the kind of practitioner who can confidently support every dimension of your clients’ healing
The Foundational Framework:
Ayurveda
You will learn the original science of self-healing: Ayurveda. Coming away with a deep understanding of the doshas, dhatus, agni, and rhythms that shape the mind-body connection.
You’ll understand how to personalize healing through diet, routine, and energetics, helping clients come back into alignment with nature and themselves.
Polyvagal Theory + Neuroscience
You will become fluent in the language of the nervous system, exploring the physiology of safety, regulation, and trauma, understanding how the vagus nerve, brain, and body communicate.
This becomes your roadmap for guiding clients toward grounded resilience and true balance.
Together, Ayurveda and Polyvagal Theory form the foundation and framework for everything that follows giving you the ability to customize and personalize client healing on a truly multidimensional and bio-individual level.
You’ll also master 6 potent modalities
Breath
Harness the nervous system–regulating power of pranayama and modern breathwork. Learn how to assess patterns, use breath to shift states, and guide practices safely and therapeutically.
Meditation + Mindfulness
Study multiple meditation styles through both Ayurvedic and scientific lenses. From mantra to mindfulness to Yoga Nidra, you’ll understand how each practice influences the mind, doshas, and vagal tone.
Nutrition
Bridge Ayurveda and modern nutrition science to create individualized nourishment plans that truly support the nervous system. You’ll explore rasa, virya, vipaka, macronutrients, digestion, blood sugar, and the energetics of food.
Movement + Somatics
Learn to use movement as medicine, from grounding, embodied somatic practices to nervous system–calming flow.
You’ll understand posture, interoception, and how to release stored tension through the body safely and intelligently.
Subtle Healing
Go beyond the physical to work with energy, sound, and consciousness. You’ll explore mantra, the gunas, and energetic awareness practices that help shift deep emotional and subtle layers.
Biohacking + Modern Tools
Integrate the best of modern science and technology, from breath and HRV tracking to circadian alignment and nervous-system-friendly habits, all through an Ayurvedic and Polyvagal lens.
+ The AyurSomatic Method™
Finally, you’ll learn to bring it all together with a powerful methodology.
The AyurSomatic Method™ is our signature, step-by-step framework for assessing, mapping, and supporting clients across mind, body, and spirit. It is the framework through which you can integrate any existing modality you have, and the new ones you’ll learn into transformational client results. So instead of guessing which tool to use, or throwing spaghetti at the wall with your recommendations, you will feel 100% confident.
