Meditation and Spiritual Support
I help new and seasoned meditators safely and compassionately deepen and sustain their practice of formal meditation, yoga, and incorporate mindfulness in all realms of life. I am here to provide support in times of difficulty, transition, and trauma integration, using a blend of somatic and meditative techniques from a Buddhist Chaplaincy perspective.
Personalized Guided Meditations
Using the topics you bring and your personal preferences for meditation guidance, I create gentle, supportive, and custom-guided meditations during our sessions that you can keep and practice with. These personalized recordings are specific to your life circumstances, including bereavement, divorce, and chronic pain and illness, using a blend of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, self-compassion, embodiment, and Internal Family Systems techniques.
Four Session Series: Preparation and Integration
I offer preparation and integration for people anticipating a challenging or intense experience or transition. We will meet twice before and twice after the event/transition. In the preparation phase, we can explore your hopes and fears, and work together to create inner and outer resources that help you feel safe, grounded, and supported. In the integration phase following the event/transition, we can work together to support your nervous system's ability to self-regulate, absorb and incorporate useful learnings, and promote your flourishing.
The Preparation and Integration Series could help as you prepare for one of life's challenges:
- Surgery/Medical events
- Separation from a loved one
- Court date or other legal proceeding
- Encounter with a phobia (plane ride, public speaking, etc.)
- Difficult interpersonal interaction
- Changing jobs
- Moving
- Period of intense work/school/life demands
If you have an upcoming event or transition that is looming large in your body, heart, or mind, I'd love to offer support.
"Working with Kalyana has been a true gift. It can be a rare thing to be fully seen, heard and understood. Her nurturing, grounded and compassionate presence creates a safe and accepting space to open to the possibility of being whole and healing."

"Kalyana has the magic touch. In our sessions, we have discussed many important but difficult subjects, and she has helped me greatly. Holding me, the space, and the topics with deft, care, and kindness. Perhaps the best example is our inner child work, where I was able to visit and spend time with the adolescent me, who was sad and lonely at boarding school. This visceral, uplifting experience has allowed me to wholly reperceive this painful period in my life in a much more positive way. To connect, love, and make peace with young me and also improve how the older me feels today."
-1:1 Client N
“Working with Kalyana, I am consistently surprised by how much friendlier I am towards myself after every meeting. She invites me and gently guides me into seeing myself in a more dignified way. I am gentler with myself and more in tune with the world thanks to her help.”
