I get emails, phone calls and letters all the time from people who have participated in workshops, classes or sessions with me. Their sharings are eloquent, heart warming and often deeply personal. Hearing how people's lives have been transformed reminds me of why I love this work so much. Here's a taste of what people have discovered for themselves...!
"My work with Deepika has been very genuine and true and got to the root of human transformation. She clearly takes a stand for humanity and for the brilliance that each one of us has inside us. |

"Deepika has the intuitive ability to quickly get to the core of what is real and true within me and to help me arrive in that place. Her playful curiosity, enthusiasm, sense of adventure and humor that she brings to her work are highly contagious, which helps immensely when I felt stuck and confused. She also has amazing creativity in devising spontaneous strategies for transformation. But what I love the most about Deepika, and what has enabled me to dive deeper into the discovery of who I am, is who SHE is. |

"It was simply an amazing workshop. I got tangible tools that I was able to take right into my evening with my partner. |

"Everybody says you just have to love yourself and then the right partner would come along. When I was in Deepika’s workshop she showed me how to do that and nobody else has ever done that before. It was really profound for me. |

"Deepika is an amazing coach. She has an open, warm and welcoming quality that makes you feel safe with her right from the start. I took her class Life Mastery in 2013 and continued to be her client since then. When I was in session with Deepika, I could feel how genuinely she cared about me. I admire her for the capacity to meet me in every situation, even the most challenging ones. The change I experienced has been incredibly profound. I could not believe how different I have become in almost a year of working with her.
The change we initiated in the session has rippling effects that I could not previously imagined. Positive self talk started to happen on its own without any effort. My life has really been changed fundamentally with her help. My friends commented that I have become stronger, more confident and came out of my misery. I laughed more and challenging issues are easier to handle. She was like the family that I never had but wish could have. I would definitely recommend Deepika to anyone who wants to work through some of life's challenges. I am a stronger mom for my children and a better business women because of her!"

"I can be pretty skeptical about things I have little experience with, and while I was somewhat aware of the theory behind somatic therapy I walked in the door with my expectations in check. Well, much to my surprise and delight, this therapy has been extremely helpful to me. I am more in touch with my body, and more comfortable in my own skin. This shows up in the way I appear to others and oftentimes in how I interact with them. It also has helped me loosen up in situations that have been stressful to me in the past - from trivial situations like learning a new dance step at a group salsa class with my wife and other (and much better) dancers, to more serious situations that come up with family and business. The only thing I was doing differently between "the before" and "the after" was the work I did with Deepika, and that tells me that the things she taught me really had a positive impact. I intend to continue practicing what I have learned with her coaching and encouragement. I think Deepika is a very insightful person, full of compassion, and for anyone looking to work on themselves somatically I would recommend Deepika without hesitation."

"Last summer, I stopped pretending that this moment in both my personal and in the global history was "business as usual". I booked several sessions with Deepika in order to clean up a few old issues, but increasingly I felt myself saying yes to an invitation to do more.
I'm not sure how to describe her work. Deepika gently but relentlessly encourages the discovery of my own methods of connecting to the moment. She creates a space for my own authenticity, the part of myself that is trustworthy, the part that is liberated, the part that is truly alive. Her respect for that space makes so much possible. And she does it with such a light touch that it all seems as if all is as it should be. This is not heavy work, but it is, as she suggests, decidedly deep work. She has helped me open doors I never knew where there and I am very grateful for all of it. "

I found the sessions very supportive and also gently challenging. I felt met and guided skillfully and found that wherever I traveled you were also able to skillfully be. I guess there were two main things. One was that the endless, repetitive cycle of relationship with one man lost its grip and the other was a radical shift in consciousness, which whilst it has evolved I have never quite gone back to the way I was before either.

"I find our work together is very grounding and very healing for me – I have learned so much from being in relationship with you about boundaries and loving and how to have both and how much better that makes my life. You model so well how to love and have clear boundaries so that I feel really safe and able to take risks and feel silly and sad and young and adult and completely loved and accepted just being myself. As a result I feel more accepting of myself and that I really have gotten Deeper Into Life because of my work with you. My intimate relationships are more honest and also more open and whole. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
~ Travis S., Marin, California
"Working with Deepika is as a mirror of my own self holding me in a very tender place. I feel utterly safe, supported, and loved going to any part of myself that is needing love and attention."
~ Melle, Mill Valley, California
“As I take back my power and heal my emotions through this work, my body responds by becoming much more grounded.
As a result, I’m finally making great progress with my business, creating a plan and working with fun clients.
It feels great to be back in this creative flow, sharing and connecting with others while building a business I love!”

"On the money side, what I see is that I am now interacting with people in business who I feel a real connection with.
I can't put my finger on why, except that I am professional with people, but less 'corporate'. And they really want me to help them as opposed to me asking them to allow me to help them; a subtle but beautiful difference.
Money is the flow of energy, and when my energy feels authentic, people\clients trust me and the energy flows!
So money has been coming more easily to me as I am enjoying my clients and the authentic support that I am offering them."
~ Libby W. Financial Adviser, Toronto, Canada
"Now I feel my body much more better. I see that my body starts to react more faster to any impulses from outside. Actually, I start to trust my body! For example, several days ago one man invited me to work for a company as a director. My mind said me: "Wow!!! Vatayana! Such a good opportunity! So much big money! Big tea company! You should agree!" But at the same time my body was absolutely in a tension, I felt even nausea. I said to that man that I could not do it. And now I'm totally happy that I listened my body! I'm sure that I do the best for me - I prefer working as a consultant from outside and have more free time. So, I'm starting moving in this direction. I can say that I start new way of life! I'm having so much fun with my boyfriend, and I even met my mama and felt love for her. So everything is fresh and light! Thank you!!! love, love, love"
