Women’s experiences…

“I found Gauri through a mutual contact and started working with her to address a long history of trauma and sexual abuse. When I started I wasn’t aware of how much it would change my life and how different the path I would later choose. Gauri was the first therapist I saw who felt incredibly safe and warm. I had previously felt like I was just a name on a piece of paper during counselling but I never felt that way with Gauri. She truly cared about the issues I was going through and that recognition felt incredible, I trusted her very deeply and we worked together for many years. I feel that she has such a deep and true understanding of relationships, sex and trauma. I have often and will continue to recommend her and her work.”

“Gauri is a powerful facilitator and has the ability to easily change the energy in the room so that you feel calm and grounded. She truly listens, holding the space so you have capacity to reflect honestly and without any fear of judgment. Every sharing and circle she facilitates has had a huge positive impact, not just on how I'm feeling but also to teach me new ways to deal with difficult situations and feelings.

I had a mother blessing ceremony before the birth of my second child and it was incredibly powerful. You feel so loved and care for, in a way that you can really need as a mother but can often miss out on. A birth blessing with Gauri is the most wonderful gift to yourself or a loved one. I was able to celebrate this change in my life, surrounded by women I treasure, and Gauri helped us connect and and honour this change. It was something I'll remember forever.”

“I met Gauri several years ago by chance through Facebook. Meeting her was one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. I was suffering from various things, childhood trauma, physical self loathing, suicidal thoughts amongst them. I’d seen a number of psychotherapists over the years and achieved very little. Gauri’s radically different approach intrigued me.
I saw her a few times and realised that finally here was someone I felt safe with, someone I could completely open up to. It’s Gauri’s ability to hold your space and her empathy and compassion that really makes the difference. Every deeply held problem that I faced has now been overcome thanks mostly to her.
Gauri is a very rare and precious person. I wouldn’t hesitate to thoroughly recommend her to anyone in need of help.”

“Having experienced a very traumatic birth with my first child, working with Gauri helped me to come to terms with what have happened and to prepare myself mentally and emotionally for the birth of my second child. I found working with her to be a very positive and empowering experience.”

“I did a short run of body-based therapy with Gauri to explore issues around sexuality and trauma. In these few sessions I experienced a gentle yet profound shift. The combination of softness and clarity in her approach I feel is rare to find. I felt great courage in facing things I didn't think were possible due to her very perceptive, gentle and strong holding of the relational space. A landmark in my self understanding and development.”

“Working with Gauri was incredibly helpful! Gauri held a safe space to ask all the questions I’ve never had an opportunity to ask before, ranging from intimacy with a partner to self-massage and connecting to my own body. She offered guidance on how to build a relationship with my yoni through breathwork, massage, and intuitive movement. Furthermore, I was offered a loving space to unravel and make sense of past womb trauma. Gauri’s background in tantra gives her a great grasp of the flow of energy within oneself and in a partnership. Her calm, present nature is very soothing to be around and offers the opportunity for a deeply trusting bond to be formed.”

“I am beyond thank you for you, your time, love, sisterhood, and kindness. Thank you for embracing me in such a vulnerable moment of my life. Thank you for reflecting on me, for your insights and for compassion. Thank you for seeing me as a strong woman that sometimes forgets what I have lived through to this day. Thank you for your knowledge and deep understanding.”

“I had the honour of working with Gauri in the run up to the birth of my second son. She was present at our birth and in the weeks after. Gauri listened to my needs, held space for my fears and supported my deepest wants. She honoured all that I desired and with her I had the most wonderful unassisted birth. A spiritual experience made possible by the deep trust she had in - and therefore enable me to have - in my body and my baby. I’ll forever be grateful to her for that.”
