A little about Marilyn Allen, MA
Marilyn Allen has been teaching at Traditional Chinese Medicine schools for over 40 years and now brings her expertise to Ayurveda.
She has been the United States representative to the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2005. This journey has helped to establish a set of diagnostic codes for Traditional Medicine. These codes were released in February 2022. At the beginning of this process, WHO said that Traditional Medicine would be the first to have a set of Diagnostic codes and that Acupuncture was opening the door for Complementary medicine.
Ayurveda is the next discipline of medicine to establish a set of diagnostic codes to be included in the International Family of Classifications. This is happening now! (Learn more about this throughout the course)
She also serves as the Editor of “Acupuncture Today” and teaches Practice Management classes in numerous Acupuncture schools across the US. Marilyn also currently works in the Complementary Healthcare Malpractice Insurance Industry and designed a very comprehensive Malpractice Insurance Policy offered to CAAM Members.

Program Schedule
Each online monthly meeting will be held online the first Tuesday of the month from 8 AM to 9:30 AM Pacific Time. Marilyn will speak for about 45 minutes on a topic and then the next 45 minutes will be Q&A as well as open discussion.
PLUS 3 BONUS MEETINGS! We have designed this 12-month program for new Ayurvedic Professionals and established Professionals that would like to expand their businesses. Through development discussions we have come to the conclusion that new professionals would appreciate a little more ground work. To make sure we are serving everyone we have decided to add 3 bonus meetings to the beginning of the course! These will be offered at no additional charge and will be open to all members. The topics covered during the bonus offering will be expanded upon further during the program. This will also be a chance to review the schedule of topics as a group and determine if anything should be added before we get going.
Everyone’s voice is important!
All participants will walk away from each meeting with actionable steps needed to build their Ayurvedic Business or Practice. Participants will also have 24/7 access to the CAAM Member Online Community where they can work through each step of the program, ask each other questions, workshop ideas, and get guidance from mentors.
If you miss a class or start late, don’t worry! The recording links will be shared with participants after so that you can go back and review.
