About
When others are telling you it’s time to move on, and you don’t know how, I’m here.
Facing loss isn’t about moving on. It’s a place to meet you where you’ve loved deeply. Grief and love are interconnected: within love there is grief, and within grief there is love.
When the threshold you’re crossing feels like an empty void or a thrashing river, and you find yourself hiding on the couch or lost in distraction, there is a wisdom in the not knowing. Something needs tending.
About Padma
My work has grown from what I have needed to heal.
Physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
At 17, I was told I would never use my arm again. I was thrown into pain that was unyielding. It forced me to feel my body and face many fears like I had never experienced before. Through my healing process I found yoga, meditation and teachers who showed me I could find safety in my body again.
This injury changed the trajectory of my life and allowed me to meet many challenging moments: the death of my mother, taking care of my brother, forging a life without a mom, and eventually having a child on my own.
I am a gentle guide with tools, or someone who can reflect back what you can and cannot see.

{{ q.body }}
This work is grounded in somatic awareness. It starts with the body.
It’s informed by decades in the field and by my own healing, individually and in groups: bodywork, yoga, somatic movement, meditation, energy healing, talk and hands-on. It rests on a simple foundation: the body knows what we need, even when we don’t.
My work aims to connect you back to your body, to your nervous system states, your instincts and impulses, your intuition. It’s not always about figuring it out in the mind. When we slow down and listen to the body, there’s more room to move through emotion, and to find our way back to our own awareness, our own wholeness.
Loss, grief, life changes, and trauma can break us apart. The journey back to the fullness of ourselves might just be an opening to something we never imagined.
The inner journey is the outer journey.
If you would like someone to walk with you, I’m here.
