I came to Swati dealing with life-threatening depression and anxiety. After a few short months of intensive treatment that
blended eastern philosophy and meditation with a minimal amount of western medicine, she turned my life around. I now
feel better than I ever have before.

Jenni, 2006
I trusted Swati immediately. She got to the root of my anxiety quickly and not only helped me understand it, but through
EMDR, has helped me get rid of it. I have the tools to handle stress in a way that I never had before. Thank you Swati!

The Power of meditation class has helped me to be more mindful of my actions. With Swati's guidance, I have been able to
better control my moods and be a happer person. I whole heartedly recommend this class to all willing to try it. Thank you!

L. Brooks   Model/Author, 2008
I have enjoyed working with Swati very much.  She creates a sacred, safe space for me to release anything that should come
up during our sessions. EMDR,  especially in conjunction with cognitive therapy, has helped to take the power away from
negative thoughts and past experiences, that seemed to have had a hold on me before. Her meditation classes helped guide
me to feel more grounded, centered and calm.  I learned helpful techniques that I can call on at anytime to bring
peace in the body, mind and spirit.
