he market is flooded with Ayurveda coaches. What will set you apart. We'd give you feedback and part of the mentorship will be that you will create a website, intake forms and documentation.
Here’s what 50+ Client Observation Vedic Clinicals mentorship hours actually look like:
1️⃣ First the student learns by observing and shadowing an Ayurvedic Practitioner.
Example 1: Shadow your teacher on a real vata-imbalance client and understand their nadi and tongue. Create a tongue and nadi map. You will observe all the protocols that teacher has suggested. Students would be able to discuss and ask questions about the protocols.
2️⃣ After some time, the teacher will observe and shadow you and give you real-time feedback as you work with a client.
Example 2: You will use the trividha pariksha- Prasna, nadi, and tongue to arrive at the imbalance with a real client, while the mentor will observe you. The teacher will give you feedback at the end of the session. You will prepare the protocols under the direct guidance of the teacher.
3️⃣ Towards the end of the program, as you have demonstrated proficiency, you would do independent client encounters and "present" them to your teacher or in front of your peers and will recieve feedback.

Business Integration
Define Your Unique Ayurvedic Niche: Beyond "Wellness"
-
Why it matters: The market is crowded with generic "Ayurveda" offerings. Niching down (e.g., "Vata-balancing for high-achieving entrepreneurs" or "Postpartum dosha reset for new moms") attracts clients who pay premium rates.
-
Coaching Action: Audit your strengths—list 3 client types you've transformed most. Test with a free "Dosha Business Quiz" on your site (tools like Typeform integrate easily).
-
Pro Tip: Align with seasons—launch a "Kapha-Melt Detox" program in winter for timely relevance.
-
Common Pitfall: Undervaluing sessions at $75/hour when peers charge $200+.
-
Framework: Use the "Ayurvedic Value Ladder
