Estimates for a small start in Australia, not guarantees.
What it is
A small one-person practice offering Ayurvedic consultations, diet and lifestyle advice and simple treatments such as massage. You hire a treatment room by the hour or day in an existing wellness centre or clinic, or run sessions from a suitable room at home if your council allows it.
Your first three steps
- Confirm your qualifications and look into joining a professional body, such as the National Ayurvedic Medicine Association
- Contact two or three local wellness centres to compare room hire rates and sessional terms
- Get an ABN, take out professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and set up a simple booking and payment system
Who pays
Adults looking for complementary and lifestyle-focused care, often through word of mouth, local wellness communities and online searches.
How it makes money
A fee per session, with longer first consultations usually priced higher. Some practitioners add follow-up visits, treatment packages and recommended products, if they are allowed to sell them.
Skills that help
- Recognised Ayurvedic training and qualifications
- Listening and communicating clearly
- Basic bookkeeping and appointment management
Watch out for
- Ayurvedic practitioners are generally not registered under AHPRA, so check what training, titles and standards your state or territory and any insurer or association expect
- Check your state's rules and complaints body for unregistered health practitioners, as some states have a code of conduct
- Advertising must not make misleading health claims. Check the rules on advertising health services and on therapeutic goods before promoting treatments or selling herbal products
- Health fund rebates may not be available for Ayurvedic sessions, so check with clients' funds and be clear about this when they book
- If you work from home, check with your local council whether you need approval for a home-based business
