This Maharani Academy provides students with the skills, confidence and hands-on experience needed to perform authentic Ayurvedic treatment in a professional setting, such as a holistic spa or clinic. Some services may be dependent on additional licensure of course, but students will learn all the necessary skills to perform authentic Ayruvedic services. Students that graduate from the Pancha Karma training will be able to offer Pancha Karma treatments (detox therapies) under the guidance and supervision of a licensed Ayurvedic practitioner (CAP).
