What people say...
Samvedam is an extraordinary facilitator. She brings a depth of experience and an incredibly gentle touch, but with a steely resolve to have people address what’s there.
Samvedam has helped guide me through several difficult transitions over the past ten years. She never once made me feel "broken" or in need of fixing. She is a compassionate listener who taught me about full body presence and self forgiveness... gifts for which I am eternally grateful.
One of the things about Samvedam that I love the best is that she can stay objective. When she’s working with you, and you’re starting to go off onto a tangent that’s really not valuable or going to help you in any way, she can pull you back in with dignity and respect. You never feel anything less than that dignity and respect… you always walk out of there with something. She’s very approachable and doesn’t ever make you feel that she’s way above you.
I just treasure Samvedam's integrity. I think that's why I'm here.
After having experienced many diverse healing modalities, I came to understand that it was not just the tool that was important, but rather the ability of the therapist to dig deep and hold sacred the unconscious material that can shape one’s life.
Samvedam has a heart that is wide open and a wisdom and clarity to help her clients transform their lives. She is a truly gifted healer that has helped me throughout the years both individually and within the safety of her groups.
Samvedam’s empathy, skill and creative techniques have helped me to heal old hurts and make room for a happier life. Her style is gentle and successful.
I began work doing breathwork with Samvedam over 15 years ago, and was in the Learning Group for several years. Samvedam is a powerfully intuitive teacher who inspires trust in even the most timid students and clients.
I joined the learning group last year, hoping to break up some entrenched patterns in my life. Upon entering, I found myself inside a compassionate crucible with my fellow students and our skillful and competent leaders. We quickly built group cohesion and a deep level of trust, allowing us all to go deeper into a healing journey than we had thought possible.
I came unstuck many times. It was scary and painful; and I was held so tenderly that I began to heal these previously untouchable places within me. I was no longer alone with all the unprocessed trauma embedded in my nervous system.
This sensation is rare in this world and so vital to my unfolding growth. I’m so thankful to Samvedam and Julie for guiding this journey. I am more free to be myself as a result of being in this group.
