Ayurvedic Practitioner
900 HOURS · ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
An immersive, mentor-led program designed for those inspired to support others in achieving deep, lasting wellbeing through the ancient principles of Ayurveda. This training empowers you to embody the practice and confidently guide transformational lifestyle shifts rooted in this holistic medicine tradition.
When the Path Becomes a Calling
There comes a point where Ayurveda is no longer something you’re learning—it’s something you’re living.
It’s in how you listen.
How you observe.
How you begin to understand the subtle language of the body.
You’ve felt the shift within yourself.
A remembering of how life is meant to move when it’s in rhythm.
And somewhere along the way, something deeper begins to stir.
I’m meant to do this work.
I’m meant to sit with others in this process.
I’m meant to hold this level of responsibility.
This is where the path changes.
Because becoming a practitioner isn’t about learning more information—
it’s about becoming someone others can trust with their healing.
It asks for depth. Presence. Integrity.
A willingness to see clearly, to listen fully, and to guide without ego.
The Ayurvedic Practitioner program exists for those who feel that call and are ready to meet it with devotion, discipline, and heart.
When Healing Becomes a Practice
The Ayurvedic Practitioner Program is designed for those who are ready to step fully into the role of a clinician—holding others through deeper, more complex processes of healing and transformation.
At this level, students refine their ability to:
• assess subtle and complex patterns of imbalance
• identify root causes across body, mind, and lifestyle
• develop precise, individualized protocols
• guide clients through long-term, layered healing processes
This training moves beyond foundational understanding into clinical application.
Here, Ayurveda is no longer simply translated—it is practiced. Care becomes more nuanced.
Responsibility deepens.
The work becomes a true integration of knowledge, intuition, and lived experience—supporting the whole person across every layer of their being.
Outcomes & Certification
Upon completion of all coursework and clinical requirements, students are awarded the Certificate: Ayurvedic Practitioner, reflecting advanced professional training in comprehensive assessment, protocol development, and long-term client care within the Ayurvedic model.
Graduates are prepared to work with clients at a deeper clinical level—integrating detailed intake, nuanced imbalance analysis, therapeutic nutrition, herbal formulation, and adaptive care planning that evolves over time.
Ayurvedic Practitioner graduates may also:
• Sit for the NAMACB Board Exam (AP Level)
• Work within an expanded clinical scope of practice
• Support complex and chronic cases through ongoing care
• Continue into advanced mentorship and supervised clinical development
• Participate in leadership, teaching, or community-based initiatives within the Institute.
This level of training represents a significant step into professional responsibility—where Ayurveda is practiced with precision, depth, and integrity in service of others.
Who This Pathway Is For
The Ayurvedic Practitioner pathway is intended for those who are ready to step into a deeper level of clinical responsibility and refined care.
It often attracts individuals already working within wellness or healthcare fields—those who have gathered knowledge and experience, yet sense that something essential is still missing. Ayurveda, at this stage, becomes the system that brings true cohesion—transforming information into wisdom and practice into precise, individualized care.
This program is especially aligned for:
• experienced wellness coaches ready to work at a clinical level
• holistic and integrative practitioners seeking greater depth and structure
• nutrition professionals expanding into personalized, root-cause care
• herbalists refining formulation within a classical framework
• nurses and allied health professionals integrating holistic perspectives
• yoga teachers and bodyworkers deepening their therapeutic impact
It is also for those who, having completed foundational Ayurvedic training, feel a clear and grounded calling to continue—into a role that requires greater discernment, responsibility, and presence.
This is where your work evolves.
Where guidance becomes clinical.Where care becomes highly individualized. And where Ayurveda is practiced as a disciplined, living system in service of real transformation.

Meet Our Founder
A Personal Note from Jacky Rae
I came to Ayurveda as a student first.
More than a decade ago, I was sitting exactly where many of our students begin—searching for a deeper understanding of health, healing, and life itself. That search eventually led me to India, where my journey with Ayurveda truly began.
What I discovered there was not just knowledge.
Ayurveda was shared through relationship, rhythm, and lived experience—through time spent with teachers, through observation, and through the gradual unfolding of understanding.
Over the years, through study, mentorship, and learning from extraordinary teachers, a vision began to take shape:
Not simply a school—but a living curriculum.
A way of learning Ayurveda that could be experienced over time.
A structure that supports students not just in understanding the teachings, but in living them—through guidance, community, and practice.
That vision became what we now call the Living Ayurveda Curriculum™.
My role here is not to position myself as the expert.
I see myself as a curator, gardener, and steward of this space—someone who gathers the right teachers, tends the learning environment, and supports the unfolding of a community rooted in this work.
The curriculum is the container.
The teachers are the guides.
The experience is what transforms.
Ayurveda heals.
My work is simply to help create the conditions where this wisdom can be shared, practiced, and lived.
In service, Jacky Rae (co-founder & your guide)

Ready to embrace Ayurveda and take the next step? Below, you’ll find all the information you need to make an informed and heartfelt decision about joining us on this path of healing and transformation.
What is the tuition cost?
Every comparable Ayurvedic program at this level charges for physical facilities, campuses, and overhead you will never once step foot in. We are online by design — and we pass every dollar of that directly to you.
Same depth. Same faculty. Same clinical rigor. A fraction of the cost.
We want you to feel that the moment you arrive. Experience our Ayurvedic Curriculum risk free for 30 days.
Each program offers a monthly payment plan and a pay-in-full option:
- Ayurvedic Health Counselor (AHC): $435/month × 12, or $4,750 in full (save $470)
- Ayurvedic Practitioner (AP): $525/month × 14, or $6,750 in full (save $600)
- Dual Certification (AHC + AP): $425/month × 24, or $9,200 in full (save $1,000)
Tuition includes platform access for your first year of study. After that, continued access is available at $500/year.
What certification will I receive?
That depends on the path you choose — and you don't have to decide at enrollment.
All students begin the same program. As you progress, you'll have a sense of where you want to take it:
- Online study → Certificate in Ayurvedic Studies
- In-person training → Ayurvedic Health Counselor or Ayurvedic Practitioner certificate, with eligibility to sit for the NAMACB Board Exam
Most students start online and decide later whether they want to pursue the in-person pathway for full professional credentialing.
What is the in person pathway?
For students who want to practice professionally and become eligible for the NAMACB Board Exam, in-person training is required.
This includes clinical mentorship, hands-on case work, and experiential hours completed with guidance and support. It's an intentional next step — not something you need to commit to on day one.
Clinical hours required for NAMACB eligibility:
- AHC: 40 hours
- AP: 140 hours
- Dual Certification: 180 hours
If this is your goal, we recommend flagging it early so we can help you plan your path.
How does the program work?
Everything is available online and on-demand. All course material is recorded, so you can study whenever it works for you.
Live classes run on a regular schedule and you're welcome to join them — but they're optional. Every live session is also recorded, so you never fall behind.
How long does it take to complete?
Most students finish in about 12 months, studying around 10 hours per week. The program is self-paced, so you can move faster or slower depending on your life.
- AHC: ~12 months
- AP: ~12–18 months
- Dual Certification: ~18–24 months
If you need more time, you're welcome to continue beyond the standard period. Platform access remains available at $500/year.
Are there any additional costs I should know about?
Yes — a few things to plan for:
- Textbooks and materials: $150–$300 (AHC) or $200–$400 (AP/Dual)
- Platform access after year one: $500/year
- In-person clinical training: arranged separately, if pursued
- Anatomy & Physiology: 6 credits required before graduation (can be completed alongside your studies)
Are scholarships available?
Yes — scholarshipsare offered throughout the year as part of our commitment to making Ayurvedic education accessible.
These supported spaces are intentionally limited and released through designated Scholarships.
Because resources are finite, scholarship placements are reserved for students experiencing genuine financial barriers to study
For students able to enroll at standard tuition, doing so helps sustain the scholarship ecosystem and supports broader educational access within the community.
Do I need prior experience?
No. The AHC program is designed to meet you where you are. The AP program requires completion of an AHC program (or equivalent) first.
Can I do this program while working or managing other responsibilities?
Yes — most students do. The program is fully online and self-paced, with no mandatory live sessions. Most people dedicate around 10 hours per week.
Will I have support throughout?
Yes. Support includes academic guidance, mentorship calls, peer community, and regular Satsang gatherings. As your training deepens, clinical mentorship is available for those pursuing the in-person pathway.
What happens the moment I enroll?
You receive instant access to the full curriculum — every course, every lesson, every resource — immediately upon enrollment. No waiting, no orientation required before you begin. Your path is open the moment you say yes.
What is Orientation and do I need to attend?
Orientation is held on the first Monday of every month and is one of the warmest ways to begin. We walk you through the portal, introduce you to the community, and make sure you feel fully held as you enter. It is not required — but students who attend tell us it changed everything about how they experienced the program. We highly recommend it.
Is everything pre-recorded?
Yes. The full curriculum is pre-recorded, which means you study on your schedule — early mornings, quiet evenings, the hour that belongs only to you. In addition, many courses are also offered as live classes, and community gatherings happen throughout the year. We love when students join them. They are never a requirement — but they have a way of becoming the highlight of the journey.
How do I begin?
Enrollment is open.
