Wisdom is Knowledge in Action
KVI primarily works with Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy schools providing student clinical supervision, professional career development, and preparation for the National Ayurveda Medical Associations Certification Board (NAMACB) Exam.
I was a previous AHC student of Kim Valeri Povey. After our AHC graduation I had to take some time off from my Ayurvedic Studies to tend to my family. 6-9 months later I wanted to prepare for my NAMAC AHC exam, and needed to get my head back in the game. I was very happy to learn that Kim was offering NAMAC review mentoring/study sessions so I signed up. She is an excellent teacher and mentor! I'm happy to report that I passed my exam on the first attempt. I highly recommend taking Kim's course to help be best prepared for the NAMAC exams!
