Samvedam B. Randles is a German-born psychologist, teacher, and healer who has dedicated more than four decades to helping people reconnect with their inner strength, relationships, and life purpose. As the founder and director of the Inner Arts Institute in Boston, she offers workshops, retreats, and professional trainings in Systemic Constellation Work, Transformational Breathwork, and Body-Oriented Psychotherapy—modalities that invite profound personal and collective transformation.

Samvedam’s work is shaped by a lifetime of learning that bridges Western psychology, Eastern spirituality, and indigenous healing traditions. After completing her studies in psychology in Germany, she embarked on a journey to India and Tibet, where she studied meditation and self-inquiry under Osho at the Shree Rajneesh Ashram. These formative years introduced her to the power of presence, embodiment, and awareness as pathways to healing.

Her curiosity about expanded states of consciousness and integrative healing later brought her to Mexico, where she trained with Dr. Salvador Roquet, a psychiatrist known for blending psychotherapy and shamanic practices. Samvedam also trained with indigenous elders in Peru, deepening her understanding of ritual, community, and the interconnectedness of all life.

A pioneer in body-oriented psychotherapy, Samvedam co-founded the Center for Body Oriented Psychotherapy in Boston and became certified in Postural Integration and Transformational Breathwork. Her approach draws from the work of Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen, emphasizing the wisdom of the body as a vital key to emotional and spiritual healing.

Samvedam was among the first psychologists in the United States to be trained in Family Constellation Work, studying directly with Bert Hellinger, Hunter Beaumont, Gunthard Weber, and Stephan Hausner. For more than twenty years, she has facilitated hundreds of Constellations and trained new practitioners in the art of seeing and healing through the systemic field. Her current work continues to evolve through ongoing study with Thomas Hübl in collective trauma healing.

Through her teaching, Samvedam brings warmth, depth, and humor to the often sacred work of transformation. She is known for her compassionate presence and her capacity to hold space for what is most real—helping others to restore the natural flow of love, belonging, and life itself.
