Dhanwantri Kerala Ayurved

In response to the increasing number of requests we receive each year from Five Star Hotels / Spas / Health Clubs who wish to recruit authentic Ayurvedic Spa Technicians, we at DKA have created an Ayurvedic Spa Training Program meant to teach the basic ayurvedic massage therapy. Dhanwantari Kerala Ayurved has tailored various courses to impart the knowledge of ayurveda to the common man. Though India has a number of colleges imparting this knowledge to graduate and undergraduate students, there was no solution available to the common man. Sensing the need for an institute which could offer certificate courses for the same, Dr. Namrata devised these special courses to impart training to foreign as well as local people. This program is also designed to train therapists already proficient in Western massage and spa techniques. All trainings are conducted personally by Dr. Namrata (BAMS - Mumbai). These courses are meant to benefit person from all walks of life especially those interested in working for five star hotels and health clubs & also to those who are looking for an alternative career. The treatment of advanced diseases requires a deep knowledge of ayurveda and should not be attempted with only a basic knowledge of any medicinal science. These courses will empower you to make the differentiation. We can make specific changes as desired by our trainees. He / She can choose subjects of his/her interest from the following list of courses also. We can arrange customized training program on subjects of personal interest.

Training Methodology: The courses include practical training, expert lectures by highly qualified team of doctors, individual demonstration on different procedures of Panchakarma therapy on trainee him/herself and training material. One can register for multiple courses at the same time. We shall provide you with a certificate upon completion of the program - on condition of attendance and completion of the course. We confirm that after your training you will be able to practice as an Ayurveda Therapist in order to help yourself and others. In case of overseas students accommodation can be arranged depending on the number of days of course selected.
