Description

  • Practical, individualized mind-body interventions to use immediately
  • Functional nutrition strategies to reduce inflammation and stabilize mood
  • Ayurvedic tools to correct imbalances and restore vitality

 

Master the keys to integrating holistic healing with neuroscience and evidence-based mental health approaches.

Trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress – they all share one root: a dysregulated nervous system.

Yet most clinicians still rely on narrow tools that don’t address the full mind-body picture.

This highly practical workshop gives you a comprehensive integrative clinical framework that uniquely combines somatic yoga-based nervous system regulation, Ayurvedic psychology, and functional nutrition for mental health.

If you’ve ever felt limited by conventional approaches or wished for trauma-sensitive, personalized strategies you can use immediately, this course will transform your practice and expand your toolkit.

Join Dr. Prachi Garodia, a quintuple board-certified physician with training in internal, lifestyle, functional, and integrative medicine, who’s also an expert in the ancient healing science of Ayurveda and yoga. Rooted in neuroscience and evidence-informed practice, you’ll learn simple, effective interventions to help clients calm the stress response, reduce inflammation, improve emotional regulation, and rebuild resilience.
