Subadra didn’t set out to become an Ayurvedic practitioner. With a PhD in toxicology, she had built a career in scientific research and later focused on raising her children. But everything changed when she rediscovered Ayurveda.
Panchakarma Technician Certification Student Story
What began as a curiosity quickly became a calling. Through her studies at Kerala Ayurveda Academy, Subadra began to reconnect with her roots—rediscovering the cultural, spiritual, and healing traditions she had grown up around but never formally studied.
She went on to complete multiple certifications, including Ayurvedic Health Counselor (AHC), Ayurvedic Practitioner (AP), and Ayurvedic Clinical Specialist (Formlerly AD). But it was the Panchakarma Technician Certification that gave her the hands-on tools to bring healing into her own home—and eventually, into the lives of others.
Panchakarma allowed her to integrate physical therapies with the deep wisdom she had already studied—completing the circle.
Watch Subadra’s story to see how Ayurveda helped her find purpose, reconnect with her heritage, and begin a whole new chapter of healing.
