My Scope of Practice :: Professional Vedic & Ayurvedic Counseling
Author :: Jess Marie 🌻 CVC, CAHC, INHC, E-RYT
As a Certified Vedic Counselor (CVC) & Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor (CAHC), I offer a unique integration of ancient wisdom traditions to support holistic well-Being. My primary credential as a Certified Integral Vedic Counselor and Ayurvedic Psychology Consultant through the American Institute of Vedic Studies (AIVS) allows me to work deeply with clients on psychological, spiritual, and emotional levels. This is complemented by my certification as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor through the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA), which provides a strong foundation in physical health and constitutional balance.
Professional Standards
My practice adheres to the scope of practice guidelines established by both NAMA & AIVS. As an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, I focus on prevention and health promotion, referring clients to aligned specialists (both non-clinical & clinical) when conditions progress beyond the initial stages. My Vedic Counseling certification allows me to work more extensively with psychological & spiritual aspects of health while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.

“My journey with Jess Marie began when I noticed my doshas were significantly out of balance. As someone who understands the basics of Ayurveda and has worked with practitioners in the past, I knew I needed professional guidance to address my specific imbalances and create a tailored approach unique to my situation. What sets Jess Marie apart is her unique combination of professionalism, organization, knowledge, passion, and warmth. Her reports are comprehensive yet accessible, thoughtfully organized, and conveniently downloadable for future reference.
Working with Jess Marie has been lovely. Her deep knowledge of Ayurvedic principles has helped me reconnect with practices that truly work for my one of a kind constitution. Her gentle reminders about what works (and doesn’t work) for my dosha balance have been invaluable in maintaining my commitment to these practices.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jess Marie’s services to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Ayurveda and create positive changes in their life. Her passion for Ayurveda and the Vedic sciences is apparent and infectious. She empowers her clients with practical wisdom that can be applied to daily life for massive improvement.”
In my experience as a client of mental health professionals throughout my life, not all counselors, health coaches, therapists & doctors address the root cause of a mental health issues, provide clear action steps, and promote accountability. While I’m not a licensed healthcare provider, I’ve found that I play a vital, important role in supporting my clients' mental health & wellness by focusing on providing accountability and promoting client responsibility & education. My clients gain a deeper understanding of their whole Self while learning practical lessons & tools for improving their overall well-Being. As a direct result of integrating the principles of the Vedas, my clients make a profound & positive impact on the quality of their lives within only a few months.
Together, we will embark on a profound exploration of the mind | body | spirit, embracing the transformative power of Vedic wisdom to create lasting positive change.
