Without the healing sessions and guidance from Padma for the weeks leading up to my unexpected divorce, I know that the transition from married for 35 years to suddenly single would have been traumatic for me. Instead, I am able to move forward in my life with ease and grace. Deepest gratitude, Padma, for helping me to find the strength and power of my inner being! More...

Last fall I participated in Padma's Embodying the Feminine: An Online Women's Group and I highly enjoyed it. Going in, I didn't know what to expect but I grew to eagerly anticipate our weekly online meetings where we connected as a group and in pairs. The exercises to connect with ourselves and each other were extremely helpful and I was surprised by the intuitive connections I felt in the group. Being in this group of special, like-minded women helped me to realize and own my gifts so that I can step up to sharing them with the world. This course was instrumental in my yoga and meditation teaching and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to discover and connect with their intuitive path. More...

I started working with Padma during two huge transitions in my life - a move across the country and a new career. Â Padma's ability to bring grounded presence to our work has been invaluable as I navigate the ups and downs of these transitions. Â Her work is so much more than "talk therapy" Â - she skillfully combines conversation with movement exercises that have helped to ground me in my body and in the present moment. Â I am truly grateful for this work and can recommend her without reservation. More...

Working with Padma is the best medicine I've received for coming into my body, calming my chatter box mind and learning to sooth my soul. She has incredible knowledge of mind, body and spiritual awareness, coupled with her soothing, fun, energetic, grounded, and tender healing style. Padma has supported and inspired me for over 6 years and she continues to give me sustainable habit changing skills for improving myself, my life, my relations and in relating to whatever is happening for me in my life. Including, looking deep into what is blocking and limiting me from being the best person I can be for myself and those around me. More...

I have benefitted immensely from my sessions with Padma. Â I feel deeply seen and heard by her. Â Padma's all embracing presence combined with her body centered guidance skills have really helped open the way for me to hear my own voice and see into my own life. Â With Padma's help I have re-connected to the preciousness of my life and all of my relationships, especially my relationship with my wife of 35 years. Â Since I began with Padma, my wife and I have both noticed a big change in my ability to stay present and listen, and let go of the past and help return us both to the presence of our love for each other. Â Working with Padma has both strengthened my commitment to awaken and receive life's moments with trust and acceptance and simultaneously to freely give of myself and contribute to life wherever I can.

Padma has been a life saver for me! Â I started working with her one on one at a time of many transitions, and working with her made the process so much more powerful! Â I am deeply thankful for that. Â Padma's somatic approach and the way she holds space is remarkable, and it prompted me to connect with very deep parts of my self. Â As a result, my ability to thrive in challenging life circumstances grew a lot. Â What she does is deeply needed in this world, and she shares is with grace and openness. Â I am very grateful for working with her, and will take this deep learning with me everywhere I go! Â I recommend her work highly.Update 2/21/2017I'm currently taking an online women's embodiment class with Padma and that class has been so powerful and eye opening. Â Padma's insistence on practicing with partners is bringing incredible new awarenesses in me! Deeply grateful. Padma is the real deal. More...

Padma is as dynamic as they come-- heart-centered and rich with experience and wisdom. Â I've spent much of the past six years emersed in healing work & recovery--having the good fortune to work with many exceptional individuals--and Padma has embraced my experiences and woven the threads together by supporting me with great skill and care and, above all, empowering me with the reflections and guidance needed to take charge and be my own teacher and healer.

I went to see Padma after having a heart attack - I was experiencing a lot of generalized anxiety and was afraid to fall asleep at nite. At the same time I was committed to living into a new way of being - less stress, more ease and grace. Neuro-linguistics sounded like just the thing to un-wire my brain from fear and re-wire it for easefulness.My first session with Padma was fantastic! It was hugely cathartic in that she provided the space for all my fear to be expressed and showed me how to just allow the fear rather than fight it. The spell was broken! Over time, her sessions and listening to her recordings have brought peaceful sleep and support on my path to a new way of living.I am hugely appreciative of her gifts and compassionate presence.

Padma is a wonderfully gifted teacher of embodiment practice.  The Responsive Body  class helps me ground more in my own body and body wisdom, so that I can be truly present with myself and with others.  No matter what comes up.  If you lose yourself by getting drawn into others' energy or keep a distance and don't authentically connect, this practice is for you.  If you feel a deep longing for yourself, this practice is for you.The learning is all in mindful movement, dancing to great music with some basic guidance from Padma for solo and partner practice.  You will sweat and have fun while building resilience from the inside out.  Thank you, Padma!  The Responsive Body is life changing!
