Dr Rama Prasad
Rama Prasad did his Gurukula training at Coimbatore Ayurveda College in the 1980s and delved into the scope of Ayurveda during his private internship with Vaidyamadhom Cheriya Narayanan Naboodiri and at his own Sauparnika Clinic in Edappal, Kerala over the following 18 months.
He was captivated by concepts such as holistic medicine, mind-based healing, Constitution-based life coaching, and non-verbal health assessment in the early 1990s.
After working on a 6-month Ayurveda exhibition project at Arya Vaidya Pharmacy in 1992, he joined Coimbatore Ayurveda College as a tutor. In addition to his work in the classroom and student clinic, he also delivered lectures at the Intensive Ayurveda Training for Western students conducted by Arsha Vidya Peetham and coached Ayurveda therapy students on the same campus and along with his private clinic in the evenings.
Between 1993 and 1996, he discovered that the effective utilisation of therapeutic fasting could reduce hospital stays, lower treatment expenses, and improve outcomes considerably that too faster. Charyas, especially fasting and nutrition became his favoured clinical topics.
Upon relocating to Australia in 1996, he discovered that over 1760 Ayurvedic herbs are indigenous to Australia. He underwent rigorous training in Hypnotherapy and Mind-Body Medicine in Australia, which transformed his approach to health and business coaching style.
Over 25 years, he introduced thousands of Western health professionals to Ayurveda through his coaching programs in Australia. During this period, he developed a potent form of Tongue Diagnosis and a transformative Five-Element-Based Constitution Analysis (FEBCA). He organised or presented at over 40 international Ayurveda-Yoga-Health conferences in Australia, New Zealand, and India during this time.
In January 2023, he commenced a project at Vaidyagrama Ayurveda Healing Village in Coimbatore. His current endeavours include -
a) creating and implementing an online coaching and support program for students and doctors, b) developing an app that integrates Ayurvedic practice, education, pharmacy, and research, and c) establishing a 25-day intensive Coaching-Lifestyle-Panchakarma program targeting various health conditions such as Autism, Cancers, Apnoea, Diabetes, and more.
