Here’s what 50+ Client Observation Vedic Clinicals mentorship hours actually look like:
Ayurveda Counselor Mentorship Schedule 2026
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.
