What is an Ayurveda Health Coach

A certified Ayurvedic Health Coach is someone who is professionally trained to educate and guide an individual to maintain their health, prevent illness, as well as determine a person’s elemental imbalance (Vata – air and space, Pitta – fire and water, and Kapha – earth and water) and guide them back into balance.  By understanding which elements need balancing, a professionally trained Ayurveda Health Coach addresses common health disturbances such as insomnia, weight balance, poor digestion such as gas and bloating, constipation, low energy, mood swings, pms, menopause symptoms, skin problems such as acne and rosacea, headaches, and reactive stress can be easily remedied within a few months with dietary, lifestyle, and herbal medicines.

Ancient Ayurveda scriptures say that health is not just the absence of disease but goes beyond and above that offering techniques and knowledge for an individual to realize their full potential of living a life of peace, fulfillment and joyous expression. Our program offers this beautiful unfoldment of knowledge and experience so students training to be an Ayurveda Health Coach rise above limitations in all areas of life – body, mind, emotions, spirit, dharma and behavior.

Ayurveda Health Coaches who graduate from Amritanam Learning Center (AALC) say how satisfying it is to be able to help clients and family members with the practical application of knowledge that they learn from this program. At AALC, the knowledge and practical techniques are applied and user friendly so that anyone of any educational background and age can receive the benefits of this ancient health care system. It’s truly a universal system of preventive health care for all.

The economic costs of managing hypertension and diabetes in the USA and abroad are rampant. Most of these health problems are preventable. The implementation of Ayurveda Health Care as a form of health prevention is very much needed as way to reduce suffering, disease and health care costs. The knowledge of health care that Ayurveda Health Coaches offer is very much needed now more than ever.

An Ayurvedic Health Coach focuses on offering a series of personalized preventive health educational sessions by guiding people back to balance with healthy lifestyles. These include specific tailored exercise programs, nutritional recommendations, meditation techniques to reduce stress, and herbal formulations specific for each person. Ayurveda Health Coaches learn about herbal remedies to improve overall life energy, protection from colds and flu, and detoxification of internal organs. Regular seasonal cleansing and detoxification is an important component of keeping healthy and Ayurveda Health Coaches at Ayurveda Amritanam Learning Center are given the opportunity to experience a variety of Ayurvedic cleanses and learn how to safely guide others through the process of purification for a long healthy life. Ayurveda views everyone as unique so the cleanses are tailored for each person. Our unique process developed by Ayurveda Master Physician, Vaidya Misha is safe and effective. Ayurveda Health Coaches here are trained to understand and practically apply herbs, foods, and detox therapies for a variety of different circumstances and mind-body types in easy-to-follow methods that are noticeably effective. Seasonal cleansing with a lighter diet helps to give the body a chance to rest and rejuvenate.

Ayurveda Health Coaches at AALC learn how to cook

Cook delicious pure foods through an array of cooking classes, recipes from Vaidya Mishra and Divya Alter geared to balancing the five elements of the body and improve digestive power. The training includes the art of using delicious spices mixtures with the six tastes – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, astringent and pungent. Specific spices help to increase digestive power, prevent gas and bloating and contribute to weight balance.

In addition, Ayurveda Health Coach training includes learning about natural foods according to the five elements such as which whole grains, seeds, legumes, a large variety of vegetables, fruits, proteins, healthy oils, milks, and nuts effect which mind/body type. Ayurveda does not offer a cookie cutter approach to diet because each food item either increases one of the elements or disturbs and disrupts the channels of the body. Ayurvedic diet favors foods to help prevent constipation, strengthen the body, and build ojas.

The presence and quality of ojas in the body determines the overall immune strength and inner happiness and peace we are all capable of. Ayurveda Health Coaches trained at AALC have a thorough understanding of the connection between mood and food, food and digestion, and digestion and its connection to illness. Ancient Ayurveda texts says that the quality of digestion forms the basis of health or ill health. Our curriculum offers an in-depth exploration of food and digestion. At AALC you will gain confidence in your own decisions regarding nutritional decisions, Ayurvedic cooking techniques and meal planning. Some students at AALC new or resistent to cooking have discovered the many healing benefits of cooking healthy homemade meals and how it has significantly improved their health and wellbeing.
