"I really appreciate everything you did for us and the tremendous health benefits I got from taking both Ayurveda Herbalist Trainings!! I really donât know where I would be without the programs. My menorrhagia is gone. I went from 4 days in bed each month, in pain, anemic, no energy, to normal menses, no problems. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!"
~ Katie Horowitz ~

"After trying multiple other distance programs, I am so grateful to have found the Ayurveda Herbalist Program at the Ayuvedic Living School. The community and support system in the school is unmatched in a distance learning setting. In many ways, it has changed the lens through which I view the world. I've gained a much deeper and more holistic understanding of my own health, and a confidence to be able to work with others to improve their wellness. I now recognize how disease moves through the body and have concrete ideas and methods on how to treat imbalances through diet, lifestyle and herbs. I really feel confident to move forward with my goals of becoming a practitioner."
Sarah Furman
Ayurveda Herbalist
"I absolutely loved the herbalist training. I really wanted to learn about disease pathology, and how we can heal naturally and holistically, as well as bring balance to the body. Traci, and all of the teachers and staff have been so supportive, and really fostered a sense of community. Iâve loved my time and all that Iâve learned. Thank you! - Alicia "

Ayurveda Herbalist, Intuitive Healer, Bodyworker, Sound Healer, Teacher, Spiritual Counselor
"The Ayurveda Herbalist Trainings were a game changer in my wholistic western herbalist approach to life. The trainings widened my perspective and gave me a deeper understanding to healing ourselves through the Ayurvedic lens of self care. The training set a foundation for a future of healing myself and helping others heal themselves through an Ayurveda lifestyle and the addition of herbs when necessary. The school community and teachers were very inspiring and I feel as if I have a sense of community for life. I am truly blessed having been given this opportunity to participate in the Ayurveda Herbalist Training. "
~ Fallon Orr ~
Ayurveda Herbalist Trainings Graduate
"The Ayurvedic Herbalist trainings have provided me with many valuable skills that I use both in my personal and work life. After completing ALS's programs, I developed the confidence to launch an Integrative Health Program at my work place. I now offer holistic consults, and prepare personal ayurvedic herbal formulas for my patients. I have an active practice in medicine as a Nurse Practitioner in a Community Health Center and am required to see 16-20 patients per day addressing simple and complex health problems. I have studied many alternative health modalities over the years, but my knowledge of Ayurveda has allowed me to identify and treat the dosha out of balance and look more deeply at the root issues. The program gave me a plethora of practical knowledge that I continue to utilize in my practice." ~ Lisa Hoyt, Ayurvedic Practitoner, Ayurvedic Herbalist, Nurse Practitioner, Ayurvedic Herbalist & Ayurveda Life Mastery (formerly Ayurvedic Living Program) graduate, ALS, Arcata, CA"
~ Lisa Hoyt ~
Ayurvedic Practitioner, Nurse Practitioner, ALS Graduate
"I took the Ayurveda Herbalist training because I have been interested in both Ayurveda and Herbalism for a few years and I thought why not try both?! What a beautiful program and combination. This program would be great for anyone who is already a western herbalist wanting to expand their knowledge or anyone who is interested in Ayurveda and wants to dive head first into common imbalances and how to see them from the wholistic perspective! From this course I gained more than I ever would have imagined, including self-confidence, life-long friends, and clarity for the future."
~ Shawn Specht ~
Ayurveda Herbalist Trainings Graduate
"To say that the Ayurvedic Living School has transformed my life would be an understatement. I came to Ayurveda broken, fragile and scared. I emerged happy, healthy and confident. From the bottom of my heart, I highly recommend all of the ALS programs."
~ Anne Allen ~
Ayurveda Life MasteryTM (formerly Ayurvedic Living Program) & Ayurveda Herbalist Program Graduate
"I am so very grateful to have found Ayurveda. I love everything about it. Nothing has ever felt so right to me. This is exactly where I am supposed to be and what I am supposed to be doing...having this background and tools to use allows me to truly take care of my patients and I am so grateful to be able to use this to help people."
~ Amanda Gray ~
Ayurvedic Herbalist Trainings Graduate
"Completing the Ayurvedic Herbalist Trainings gave me not just the knowledge but also the wisdom to heal bodily imbalances. The protocols from SVA lineage coupled with the diversity of healing philosophies from the different teachers made this a very enriching experience. The hands-on medicine making immersions and internship helped bring the knowledge to life. I am deeply grateful to the school for the confidence I now have as I work with clients to help them jumpstart their health through herbal formulations. "
~ Mariam Afzal ~
Ayurveda Herbalist Trainings Graduate
"This herbalism course was so much more to me than expected. I gained a community of awesome strong smart empathetic women who will be in my life long after the program ends, I gained self confidence into this healing realm one I never knew I needed, I have gained so much ancient and still relevant knowledge from amazing informed teachers, the support I received through was so personal I loved the one on one sessions making sure I was okay throughout the program from tech to the internship everything was so thoughtfully laid out for us. Everything flowed so eloquently and when I felt the switch go off for me where I started to actually understand and started formulating and being with clients it was so empowering and I saw myself as a healer for the 1st time. I am so forever grateful to everyone involved in creating and making this program what it is today and to the ladies who found themself in this program with me this year thank you đ May the healing continue!!"
Nicky Ziobrowski
Ayurveda Herbalist Training Graduate, World Traveler & Special Needs Care-Giver
"The Ayurveda Herbalist Training has given me a different lens than I've ever had to look at imbalances - how they might have arisen and how to support them. And the herbal product making retreat was a beautiful way to spend a weekend together - it was inspirational, connecting me to herbs in a whole new way and bringing out my inner "witch in the woods"! Thank you to this entire community for support and encouragement in life, health, and career."
Sarah Klinzing-Le
Ayurveda Herbalist & Ayurveda Health & Life Mastery Coach, Licensed Massage Therapist & Massage Team Lead
"When I first found the program I was searching for something I could do in light of the fact my massage office had been closed down due to covid. I have studied Ayurveda for years so was very excited to find something I could do online and something I believed strongly in and knew something about. The journey towards my goal of becoming a health and longevity coach :) has been a bit long dream I have accomplished. I look forward to sharing the valuable life skills I have learned here with others and feel like I will be able to build a very fulfilling and successful business from what I have learned."
~ Roblynn Neumann ~
Ayurveda Herbalist Trainings Graduate
"The Ayurveda Herbalist Trainings give insight as to how lifestyle impacts our health and how the elements being out of balance can slowly cause disease. With this course, I learned how to incorporate lifestyle and herbs when needed to live my best life. Best of all, I can share this information with my loved ones."
