Learn Ayurveda on-line

I offer CPD accredited Ayurveda courses with fellow practitioner Kate Siraj through The Ayurveda Academy. These can lead to a profession Ayurvedic Lifestyle Practitioner, accredited by the APA.   

 

These practical and engaging courses combine Ayurveda’s ancient wisdom with modern insights on how to live well. Our aim is:

​

  • to support you in understanding Ayurveda as a 5000 year old living wisdom tradition and see life through the ‘Ayurvedic lens

  • to inspire you to use knowledge of your doshic constitution (mind body type) to live your life to its fullest and, if you choose to, to go even further with professional qualifications
