Testimonials
What you've said about us
I would describe my sessions as a warm blanket! Talking to you really helped me sort through the mess in my head and you would point out things I knew were there but didn't notice, you have a very different out look and very new approach to problems that I faced. Your artistic approach and using self expression to get to know one self better really was very helpful. You are also very warm and caring yet professional, something I've not experienced in my previous therapeutic endeavours. Your genuine interest in my art also reassured and encouraged me to trust myself. I am very glad our paths crossed and I feel so much more in control and better now!

"I never thought expressing something so simple would make me feel so much lighter. You are amazing, thank you so so so much for this course and funny how I shed tears of happiness every time I get to writing in the journal."
PM, Ladakh
Thank you Sheena for showing me that I needed to direct the love I gave to others back to myself. To live everyday going one moment at a time and immerse myself in the activity that was in-front of me. Most importantly for teaching me how to be there for myself and trust my inner intelligence.
AV, Chennai
"I loved the fact that you said we had no agenda for the session. That people shared so openly and so honestly. That we held our space and gave each other space. That you made all this happen. I don't know when the next session is but I do know I'm keeping an eye out for it."
MV, Pune
“So well put together, easy to understand and just incorporate into your life at a level which you can kind of control. The whole course really got me thinking and it was really quality. You should write a book on this!”
AW, Boston
"I have an hour in the morning when everyone is still asleep and I have time to myself. I usually spend it on my phone, or pottering about. Having your course was probably the best way I used that hour, it felt like a gift. Really looking forward to this next one!" DV, Goa
"When the pandemic hit, I felt like I was spiralling out of control, as most of us were. I was beaten down, mentally drained and had lost the will to live, literally. To say your sessions were incredibly useful would be to downplay the kind of help I've received. While I had tried out other therapists, it felt more of a clinical setting than anything else. You made me realise that I am not 'broken', that humans being are complex creatures, and that we all have our ups and downs. More than trying to help me fix my 'problems' you taught me the tools to get to know myself better. It wasn't an easy or straightforward journey by any means, but I persisted and you put up with me. Am I an objectively 'better' person now? I don't know. But I do know that I know myself much better now than before. You taught me about myself, truly myself, and I don't think anything better to write in this testimonial."
TI, Colorado
"Thank you so much for this workshop! I didn’t realise how much I needed it till you actually started with the intro. Please please do a gazillion more of these. Would love to learn more about journaling, just thank you! From the bottom of my heart."
JK, Mumbai
"Big Thank you! Received so much in so little time. It was such an insightful and thought provoking session. I've done a lot of virtual sessions and I wasn't expecting a lot from this because the name was a little confusing. Honestly loved the exercises and visualisation. Super looking forward to more such sessions."
RG, Ahmedabad
"I feel weirdly lighter this morning after I started the practice. Like less stressed and anxious too. Thanks for doing this. Appreciate you."
VN, San Francisco
"The session was really good ♥️! I have been feeling light and smiling more since I woke up in the morning. While contemplating music and life, I felt this wave of positive energy engulfing me and I could hear the silence again. Thank you so much just for listening."
PB, Pune
My session has helped me untwine the numerous thoughts and feelings I have carried within me. You have helped me process it at my own terms without so much as instructing rather guiding a path to see and feel things in a different light. What I most appreciate is the “pauses” and connect with the body during our conversation. You helped me connect the dots and allowed a deeper understanding of where these thoughts and issues stem from.
