Our education includes very little business training, much less holistic business training that focuses on successful practices for wellness businesses. If it does, it is usually a weekend at most. We also know that wellness practitioners and healers commonly lack essential business acumen and aren’t the best at running or growing a business. And yet, we all need to make a comfortable living from our work. Therefore, we have developed a holistic business and personal development program to support individual growth and financial success.

The Professional Development Program is offered by the directors of the Department of Professional Development (DPD). By enrolling in this program, you will study under an experienced team of holistic business instructors and personal coaches. DPD directors will offer workshops and coaching. Outside guest instructors may be invited to teach. Topics will be related to the non-clinical growth of your practice, such as business tools, marketing, branding, use of social media, holistic business practices, leadership skills, and personal development and coaching.

DPD Directors and guest instructors will offer the following training:

1. One monthly training: 60-90 minutes
2. One quarterly training: 3-4 hours
3. Two biannual training: in-depth online retreat

Workshops and training consist of personal development, data management, holistic business practices, teacher training, marketing, branding, and technology used in practice, among other topics.

Practitioners are encouraged to offer workshops to other team members. Each practitioner will join our team with varying levels of business development. Teach others what you have learned. The workshops aim to educate one another and improve business and practice skills. If you have skills that benefit others, please share them with the other team members.

If you are a professional NAMA or IAYT member, you must submit continued education hours to maintain your membership. NAMA’s Professional Ayurvedic Continuing Education (PACE) program requires professional members to complete 30 credits every two years. IAYT requires at least 24 hours (24 CEs) of IAYT-approved continuing education every three years. Your attendance and teaching time at Sevanti Wellness may be accepted for CEU credits.

Personal coaching enables our practitioner members to receive personalized support and guidance from our team of professional executive coaches. Our coaches offer both one-on-one and group support at a higher standard of guidance. We also offer short sessions by the hour and longer commitments of 9-12 months.
