What it is

One-to-one consultations based on Ayurvedic principles, covering diet, daily routine and general wellbeing. Sessions run by video call from a quiet room at home, with a written plan sent afterwards. No hands-on treatments.

Your first three steps

  1. Check your training and look at the professional bodies that accept Ayurvedic practitioners in the UK
  2. Get professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and set up a booking page and video call tool
  3. Offer a few discounted first sessions to friends and local contacts, then ask for reviews to build trust
Who pays

Adults interested in complementary approaches to wellbeing, often alongside their usual healthcare, who want advice without travelling.

How it makes money

A fee for each first consultation and a lower fee for follow-ups. Some practitioners add short packages of sessions or simple paid guides.
