What clients say:

 

“I’ve learned to work with feelings more effectively….holds a deeply attuned and grounded space….her presence alone created a sense of safety and trust.”

On Integration & Embodied Presence

Mary B.
“Working with Arani helped me move out of my story and into direct presence with what was actually here. Her way of listening created space for feelings to be felt and integrated, rather than analyzed or pushed away. The work felt grounding, empowering, and deeply respectful of my own pace. I left each session with a greater sense of inner steadiness and trust.”

David M.
“I felt genuinely held and seen in my work with Arani. Rather than trying to figure things out, she helped me slow down and allow space for what was unfolding. Her listening alone was deeply regulating, and her reflections supported a real shift in how I related to my experience. The integration didn’t feel forced — it settled in naturally, at a cellular level.”

Sara J.

“Working with Arani helped me learn how to be with my feelings in a way I never had before. Rather than analyzing or trying to fix what was coming up, I learned how to stay present with my experience and listen to it through my body. Over time, this changed how I relate to difficult emotions — they feel less overwhelming and more informative. The work felt gentle, steady, and deeply respectful of my own pace, and it’s something I continue to draw on in daily life.”

On Embodiment, Breath, and Nervous System Support

Christine B.
“Being guided by Arani felt calm, attuned, and supportive. She tailored the session to what I was navigating and offered breath and movement practices that helped me regulate anxiety and reconnect with myself. The work was both grounding and energizing, and it gave me practical tools I could return to in daily life.”

Amy M.

“What stood out most in my work with Arani was the quality of presence she brings. She holds a deeply attuned, grounded space where nothing feels rushed or forced. I felt met exactly where I was, without judgment or agenda. That level of attunement made it possible for me to soften, slow down, and access parts of myself that usually stay guarded. The work felt both subtle and profound.”

On Retreats & Group Containers

Elizabeth M.

“From the very beginning, Arani’s presence created a sense of safety and trust. I didn’t feel pushed to share or perform — instead, I felt supported in listening inwardly and moving at my own pace. That sense of safety allowed real shifts to happen naturally, without pressure. I came away with a deeper trust in myself and a clearer sense of how to stay connected to my body and inner knowing.”

Izzy K.
“Arani and Samir’s meditation retreat was absolutely incredible and life changing. These two teachers are some of the wisest, most humble, sincere, authentic, and loving people I have ever had the chance to learn from. Simply being in their presence is a gift and a teacher. For the first time ever I was able to connect to my true soul and essence on demand. The training was very well-planned and all the time we had was allocated towards meditations, discourses, and activities related to this mind training. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to take their spiritual path to the next level.”
