Ayurveda Mental Coach

  • Study Ayurveda and psychology holistically, practically and online.

  • Learn holistic methods of type-appropriate communication and stress reduction.

  • Accompany people on their path to more health, happiness and self-fulfillment.

Ayurvedic psychology is like a mirror of the soul: look into it and recognize the true nature of yourself and others.

By training to become an Ayurveda Mental Coach, you take the first step on your path to psychology and life coaching according to the holistic principles of Ayurveda. You will gain a new understanding of the connections and functions of body, mind and soul. The living knowledge of Ayurvedic psychology will help you to better understand the different constitutional types with their changeable and unchangeable personality traits.

Use the holistic recommendations for a healthy diet and lifestyle, including spices, herbs and relaxation techniques, to strengthen your mental health and balance out stress-related complaints.

Those who already work in a medical profession or advise others can supplement their own range of therapies with holistic Ayurvedic approaches. In addition, the specialist course is a valuable self-awareness experience that provides inspiration for your own life.
