Testimonial:
The sessions, exercises, and take-home meditations have given me such a deeper understanding of myself and how I greet the world. The process tremendously helped me through serious emotional issues that had been stuck with me for years. No matter the highs and lows I was going through during the process, I'm also so grateful to Samyukta for her kindness, patience, and compassion every time I came to her. She made everything so manageable, and she even managed to make me laugh about things that would otherwise have been so difficult for me to deal with!

By the end, I literally felt "awakened", like I had come back to myself and had a live for myself I had not felt in a long time. It was one of the most beautiful and powerful things i have experienced! Ever since then, i have has so much more clarity and peace of mind, i have the tools to let difficult situations not get the better of me, and it has made me ready to take on the world with my head held high! Thank you Samyukta for bringing me back to my true self! – Chantal C., Ottawa, ON
