"When I think of you, I feel warmth, ease, quiet strength and presence – soft, playful, rooted, and expansive. You hold space the way a tree holds a swing: gently, with just the right balance of support and freedom. You have a gift of making people feel seen without needing to perform, and in doing so, you remind them of their own wholeness. Anyone who finds their way to you, will find a sanctuary to feel, explore, simply be and blossom as their true selves."Testimonial from Neha Jain, 22, Delhi
"I always felt respected and safe and everything moved with my consent. What surprised me was experiencing the inner shift taking place every week through the 4 months. I found a way to get in touch with myself intuitively and meet myself through painting. This was totally different from the visual art explorations I did in the past where I felt constant pressure to create beautiful-looking art. I met parts of myself with gentleness and got the opportunity to kindle a renewed relationship with painting and colors."Testimonial from Astha, 31, Auroville
"We both had a great time doing the session and it was an amazing mother-daughter 'having fun together' space. Thanks so much for helping us through it. Reva still had the journal entries stuck on her wall and we keep rhyming the poem we made. It brings us both together over a laugh that no one understands but we both do… and that’s the beauty of it."Testimonial from Neha Khandelwal, 40, and her daughter, Reva, 11, Mumbai.
