Education

I have immersed myself in the study of Ayurveda, Ayurvedic Psychology, Vedic Astrology, Healing Light Yoga, and Spiritual Mentoring at New World Ayurveda (NWA), an online school with in-person clinical intensives based in Southern Maine. The school follows a consciousness-based model of teaching. 

 

NWA is recognized by:

- National Council on Ayurvedic Education (NCAE)

​- National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA)

​- Association of Ayurvedic Professional of North America (AAPNA)

​

I have graduated from the following training sessions:

​

• NWA: Ayurveda Practitioner Training – A one-year, clinical, client case-based and consciousness approach to learning Ayurveda. Topics included assessing imbalances of body, mind and soul; nutrition; prevention through education; recommendations and remedies from herbs to lifestyle.

 

• NWA: Ayurvedic Psychology/Spiritual Counseling, Year One – I learned how to help clients understand the root of their obstacles through inner growth and development; to teach the inner transformational skills needed to permanently overcome these blocks; and participated in a yearlong Heart Based Meditation training. 

  • Heart based Meditation is an effortless, mantra-based meditation that goes beyond the thinking mind to quickly transport one to higher consciousness.

 

• NWA: Ayurvedic Psychology/Spiritual Mentoring, Year Two – I integrated my studies in a deep, inner spiritual dive, while utilizing the many spiritual healing techniques from this course with my Ayurveda clients. I also began teaching Heart Centering and Heart Based Meditation.

 

• NWA: Clinical Jyotish (Science of Vedic Astrology) – One year of training in a strong Jyotish foundation, to learn to assess and read astrological birth charts; to empower clients with insight and knowledge of their karmic evolution; and to help clients understand their life lessons and challenges, as well as their meaning and purpose in life. I learned the basics of medical astrology, to reduce the impact of potential challenges by understanding timing factors for health, disease, and life cycle changes; and how to offer support for what is on the horizon.

 

• NWA: Healing Light Pranic Energy Therapy – One year of training in a healing modality that integrates the body, breath and consciousness to help clients heal mental, emotional, or physical pain on a deep cellular level.

 

• NWA: Advanced Ayurveda Clinical Studies Mentoring Program – One year of medical support and guidance from Dr. Paul Dugliss, M.D. and Ayurvedic expert, for weekly client cases. This was especially educational and helpful to support clients with complicated existing medical issues. During my internship, I supported clients with breast and ovarian cancer; addiction; weight management; digestive issues; fibromyalgia; anxiety; ;ife overwhelm; and more.

 

• NWA: Advanced Consciousness Based Healing Techniques – Three 12-week Summer courses of a deeper dive into spiritual and advanced meditation practices, to increase intuition and develop clairvoyance. Explored the Akashic Records and higher energies (Angels, Ascended Masters, Spirit Guides) and learned how to do distance energy light healing – all valuable tools to round out a healing practice.

 

• Attended three five-day and many weekend Heart Based Meditation Retreats to deepen meditation and intuition, and raise vibration, to better assist clients.

​

• Attended Anodea Judith's “Manifesting Through the Chakras” five-day workshop at Kripalu.  Anodea Judith is a best selling author, worldwide presenter, psychologist, therapist and expert on chakra energy centers. 

​

• Attended “Spiritual Transformation and Awakening“ – an ongoing, weekly live course and community focused on Tantric Yoga Spiritual Principles. This course aligns and enhances all that I learned through New World Ayurveda.

​

• Studied with Sam Geppi at Vedic Astrology Center. Vedic Astrology is a lifelong study.

​​

• Certifications in Energy Coaching,  Life and Group Coaching, with ongoing enrollment to master Activation Method Coaching at The Coaching Institute.

​

• Inner Engineering Transmission of Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya by Sadhguru – A thirty hour, comprehensive course on learning and applying a personal growth technology for inner well-being, derived from the science of Yoga; a course and daily practice that brings about a shift in the way one perceives and experiences life, work, and the world they live in. ​
