The Perfect Health Certification Program is divided into two parts:

Part 1: The Home Study course

After completing the Journey into Healing seminar, you are eligible to apply for and purchase the Perfect Health Home Study course. Applications are individually reviewed and must be completed prior to receiving the kit. You will be notified when you are approved for the program.

The Home Study course consists of Perfect Health Instructor Manual, The Perfect Health book, 8 video lessons, the Perfect Health student workbook, The Wisdom of Healing book, the Access to Health textbook, the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga book, the Nonviolent Communication book, and a Sanskrit terminology CD. In addition, you will receive a binder containing essential material presented at the Journey into Healing and Seduction of Spirit seminars. This material will be the source of some of the questions on your open-book exam.

After studying the material at home (estimated time of concentrated study is 85+ hours), you will be asked to complete a written examination that tests your competence in the basic principles and practices of health, mind-body medicine, and Ayurveda. Successful completion of the Home Study course and demonstrated competence on the examination (a passing grade of 85% or better) will qualify you to attend the Certification course. If you do not pass the exam, you may retake it and need to receive a grade of 90% or higher to pass. If you do not pass the exam the second time, you are required to wait six months before re-taking it again and attending the certification course at a later date.

Part 2: The 7-Day Teachers Training Course

This component of the training program will provide intense instruction, practice and evaluation of speaking and teaching skills to ensure command of the course information. During the Teacher's Training course, qualified participants will develop expertise in facilitating the five-lesson Perfect Health course. Each participant will gain competence in determining mind body constitutions, teaching mindfulness meditation, Ayurvedic daily routines, Ayurvedic nutrition, gentle energy-opening yoga postures, accessing inner pharmacy, and the tools to both teach and obtain emotional freedom.

Each student will undergo a series of testing and a final examination, both oral and written, and must obtain a passing grade of 85% or better.

Upon completion of the program, you will be qualified to teach the Perfect Health course in your community. You will become part of our worldwide network of educators and receive marketing support.

Continuing Education

In order to retain your certification, you are required to attend the Journey into Healing seminar once every 24 months. For those located outside North America, you are required to participate in a comprehensive series of interactive teleconferences.
