Who You Become

By 600 hours, people aren't coming to you for a tip. They're bringing you their life: the digestion that's never quite right, the sleep they've given up on, the diet they've tried and abandoned four times. You sit with that.

You take an intake that runs an hour and asks questions no one has asked them before. Then you build something specific: a plan shaped to their constitution, their season, and their week, not a template off a shelf. This is where Āyurveda becomes a counseling practice: ongoing, individualized, accountable, session after session.

It still isn't a diagnostic scope — you are not replacing their doctor, and a well-trained Counselor is the first to say so, and the first to refer out when something needs it. Within that boundary, this is clinical reasoning applied to a real person until their daily life changes.
