PK1 Foundations training for Ayurveda Professionals
PANCHAKARMA TRAINING
Give your clients a full-spectrum experience
Your clients are looking for a full spectrum Ayurvedic experience.
Yet most practitioners do not have a full spectrum practice or the experience and confidence to adequately lead clients through massive health shifts.
Every Vaidya I know in India who has a clinical practice or hospital, offers all the ayurvedic therapies and panchakarma... and you should too!!!!
If you don't, your practice is incomplete.
An incomplete practice is more challenging to sustain. Have you run the numbers yet to determine how many diet and lifestyle consultations you require to pay all your bills? Is there ANY return on investment doing consultations alone?
Your clients are craving in-person experiences and choosing the practitioners who have a space to practice out of. When entrusted with the care of a person's health crisis, you must provide the most professional experience possible. That includes having an actual office to help your clients open up and trust you and the full scope of services you can offer them.
Client attrition and compliance are huge issues within the industry, and getting clients on the table substantially improves retention and compliance rates. When you get your clients on the table and they can FEEL the results before even making any diet or lifestyle changes, they are more likely to stay committed to the process and your recommendations.
How This Training Was Born
After decades in clinical practice, thousands of treatments, treatment packages, and Panchakarmas offered, my strongest calling now is to impart the wisdom and experience of those years to the next generation of practitioners.
The first five years of my practice — and of “doing” Panchakarma — involved a lot of doing. I endeavored to do the best job I possibly could and to help as many people as possible with what we all know is the most effective and enlightened system of medicine and care.
There were great outcomes and deeply transformed clients because the wisdom of the system was there. But it wasn’t until I began seeing more chronically ill people that I truly understood what I was doing.
One day, while doing Panchakarma on a very sick Lyme disease client, the lightbulbs went off. And everything changed. EVERYTHING!
From that moment on, I understood what it takes for a human being to heal — all aspects of a human being.
Ayurveda gives us insight into this, but getting it up on its legs and observing it in motion — as we can through Panchakarma, treatment packages, and Bliss Therapies — has given me a whole new respect for true healing and how it happens.
How we can provide a properly structured Panchakarma that allows functional intelligence to be restored.
This happens quite literally under our hands every day. It is something that continues to enthrall me and keeps me ever devoted to this medicine.
Now I want to teach you what I have learned — from fledgling and courageous newbie to wiser, experienced practitioner and teacher.
(I’ve made all the mistakes for you… lol.)
Offering Panchakarma, Rejuvenation Therapies, Cleansing Therapies, and the many combinations you will learn is the KEY to attracting and sustaining a client base who trusts you, sends more clients your way, and continues to work with you.
PK1: Essential Ayurvedic Therapies
In PK1 you will learn the most frequently required Ayurvedic therapies — the Upakramas, plus one Panchakarma therapy: Nasya.
These therapies will become the backbone of your practice and are the ones you will use for the duration of your career.
You will learn:
-
Abhyanga
-
Shirodhara
-
Swedhana
-
Nasya
-
External Bastis
You will begin writing these therapies into your treatment plans immediately.
Clients who receive Bliss Therapies will refer everyone they know to your practice. Many practitioners find that they begin adding more and more clients based on that one treatment alone.
Hands-On Approach
Practice not just on other students, but on real-life clients, so you can learn real-world application of the PK knowledge.
Rejuvenation Treatment Packages
Ayurvedic Rejuvenation Therapies reverse depletion, exhaustion and weakness due to Asatmya: lifestyle and diet choices not supporting the physiology, mind, nervous system and soul. Well defined and executed therapies ignite a stronger immunological response previously extinguished by the effects of long term disease, disharmony and distress.
As I like to say, my darlings: “The issues are in the tissues.”
Get your hands on them. Snehana them.
And watch the dhatus reverse course back toward homeostasis.
Back to Swastha.
Back to the unnameable state of being your clients have been longing for.

Who This Training Is For
PK1 is open to all students and graduates of Ayurvedic programs, including:
-
AHE
-
AHC
-
CAM
-
AAP
-
BAMS
Whether you are an AHE, AHC, CAM, AAP, or BAMS practitioner, this training provides you with serious skills — skills you will hone and use for the duration of your career.
In combination with your diet and lifestyle consultations, the AHC’s and AHE’s will have booming practices incorporating essential therapies into their practices. This applies to everyone who takes the training.
The Unique Two-Part
Satmya Ayurveda Training Path
I designed this training system to meet the needs of the profession based on its various certification levels and what I know your clients need most.
That is how I arrived at a two-module system for Panchakarma training:
PK1 — Essential Ayurvedic Therapies
PK2 — Panchakarma Training
PK1 provides the most important and comprehensive foundational knowledge and skills practitioners need to create sustainable, thriving practices and meet the needs of clients at all stages of life and health.
For those who wish to go deeper and are eligible, it is essential to go home and practice these therapies with your clients before returning for PK2.

Why Panchakarma Training gives you the quickest ROI you can have as an Ayurvedic Professional
I get it. You've already spent thousands of dollars, and you're ready to start building your practice. Why add PK?
It's one of the single most important Ayurvedic protocols you can offer your clients, and after completing roughly 3 PKs, you've made your money back from the training.
Not only are new clients interested in this protocol, because many of them need it (I've had a 6-month waiting list for years, so I know this firsthand), but repeat clients seek the unique support and profound outcomes year after year, once they've had their initial successful experience.
Not to mention, the amount of skills you learn during PK training...
→ Bliss Therapy (globally renowned therapy + most frequently requested and word of mouth referrals)
→ Shodhana Chikitsa combinations
→ Rasayana Chikitsa combinations
→ Medicine Making
→ Food Preparation
→ How to manage and skillfully support each client
→ Communication skills
→ Time management and clinic organization
...gives you invaluable insight and diversity of skills to help your clients heal that you simply did not have before.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 / Are there payment plans available?
No, the training requires an upfront investment.
2 / Is this training done online?
No, the training takes place in person.
3 / Will I be able to lead a PK after PK I training?
You will be able to practice the therapies you learn in PK I. However, the full PK training is done in two modules. PK I is the foundational practices, and PK II is where we build on PK I, performing a Panchakarma on a client. In PK II, you learn four more essential therapies, as well as food and treatment preparations and all 3 phases of a Panchakarma.
4 / Do I need prior Ayurveda experience?
You either need to be a student of Ayurveda who has already taken the Panchakarma chapter in school or are already an Ayurvedic Professional. If you are a massage therapist and want to learn Bliss Therapies, that is a separate training. Contact me for more info.
5 / Will this help me if I've been practicing Ayurveda for a long time?
Absolutely. Adding Panchakarma to your practice will allow you to offer full-spectrum services to your clients, which often increases your revenue, client compliance, AND client retention.
6 / I'm not sure now is the right time...how often do you run the training?
I only run the PK training twice a year.
