Individual Sessions
My purpose is to support my clients to move through their lives with greater clarity, kindness and ease. I assist them in developing the facility to skillfully respond to life’s challenges and gifts by taking simple, direct, mindful actions. Living in this way supports a life of peace and freedom.
In this new online age, we are afforded the ability to connect online via video on Skype or Zoom. These sessions allow me to connect as effectively with clients as my in-person sessions while affording clients who do not wish to travel or who live in other parts of the world. For those with limited Wifi capabilities, audio phone sessions are also a beneficial alternative.
My individual, couple, and group sessions offer a depth of somatic expertise and psycho-emotional training which when combined with a powerful presence creates a safe container in which you have the opportunity to access the wisdom of your heart and land in your body as a deep resource. It is in this way that the body becomes a vehicle for healing, unwinding and deeper connection with self.
Modalities I use in sessions include:
-
Psycho-spiritual counseling, a unique counseling modality in which we honor and attend to the entire body-mind-spirit continuum.
-
Mindfulness training, which means being at choice rather than being wedded to ingrained habit patterns.
-
Embodiment, to feel at home in yourself, in your body and connected to the silence that lives inside us all.
-
Transformational hypnotherapy, to engage the subconscious mind and experience dramatic changes in your life
You will receive gentle assistance in unwinding through the body as you release physical, mental and emotional baggage. I will teach you how to train your mind and body so that you are living in a healthy and balanced ecosystem, one in which you will thrive on the level relationships, career and health.
We meet in a clear, steady and safe space so that you can experience deep and sustainable transformation. I guide and support you so that you are able to access your full human potential and live a life where you reside equally in body, heart and mind giving rise to the alchemy of true happiness.
Love is an endless mystery,
for it has nothing else to explain.

What I Really Want to Say Is..
with Padma Gordon
Being Honest Can Be Scary
Many people find it hard to talk honestly about money, set boundaries and ask for what they want. For example, asking if someone is actually upset with you or if you’re imagining it.
This is why I am inspired to offer a new 8-week online group program called, "What I really want to say is..." where I've synthesized more than 20 years of working with clients on these issues into a 4 part system.
If you want to be able to speak up even when you’re uncomfortable, this course is for you.
Why work with me?
Growing up in a New York type A household trained me in the skill of authentic communication. The challenge of communicating openly and honestly has been a recurring theme with my clients.
Increasing your ability to speak up directly impacts your quality of life. It impacts how you show up in relationships, at work, and with yourself.
Doing this program will change your life.
Being honest with yourself and others is a great stress reliever. You’ll feel empowered and build a toolkit of embodied communication skills that will improve your quality of life.
In this powerful group coaching program, you will actually get to practice saying what you really want to say.
Benefits:
✔ Feel confident in your ability to communicate
✔ Set boundaries with ease
✔ Learn to trust your instincts
✔ Be able to ask for what you need
✔ Let go of the fear of saying the wrong thing
Without the healing sessions and guidance from Padma for the weeks leading up to my unexpected divorce, I know that the transition from married for 35 years to suddenly single would have been traumatic for me.
Instead, I am able to move forward in my life with ease and grace.
Deepest gratitude, Padma, for helping me to find the strength and power of my inner being!

Your kind words, honesty, and insight helped me begin to view things from a different light. The journey that I had with you helped me not only in my personal life but in my work life as well. I had many struggles with self-doubt and self-trust. You not only taught me to see my worth but saw worth in me as well. You also taught me that my feelings are valid.
I’ve learned to meditate, think more calmly, and not let anxiety control me. I feel now with everything I’ve learned I can be a better wife, mother, and manager.

I wanted to say thank you for witnessing my unfolding over the last year. I have never had a coach teacher or mentor that I felt actually listened witnessed and gently reminded me to listen to myself. Because inherently we do know what’s best, and we need to trust that.
There is a Rumi quote; Set your life on fire. Surround yourself with those who will fan your flames.
Thank you, Padma for fanning those flames!

Mindfulness at Work:
Embodying Conscious Communication
in the Workplace
Why take this course?
This online course is intended for you if you are looking to strengthen your work relationships and environment by mindfulness, self-confidence, communication, and appreciation.
When you practice mindfulness in the workplace, you have the ability to feel more at peace with yourself and your coworkers. You can create an environment where everyone feels acknowledged and appreciated because the productivity of your team is dependent on each person feeling valued. And you have this power--mindfully elevating the quality of attention you give to others.
Mindfulness at work can take your business to the next level and enhance the relationship you have with yourself.
In this course you will learn how to:
-
Be present and more confident in yourself
-
Build harmonious relationships at work
-
Utilize the importance of appreciation and acknowledgement
-
Take input and communicate effectively
How is it structured?
The course is structured into 12 sections so that you can watch it in convenient increments of 6-minutes or less making it easy for you to integrate into your life.
I suggest that you watch 1 section per week so that you have time to practice. The mind learns through repetition. Practice is essential. The great thing is that you can do these practices as you live your life.
What are the requirements?
-
You do not need any materials to begin this course.
-
What you do need to do is set aside quiet time. Turn off your cell phone and the ringer on your home phone.
-
Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
-
Find a place to sit or lay down that is comfortable for you as this is a time for you to drop inside and focus on yourself.
-
Carve out a minimum of 6 minutes to enjoy each section of the course.
-
Know that you will feel happier and more peaceful by participating in the course.
What am I going to get from this course?
-
Integrate a daily mindfulness practice into your life.
-
Build harmonious relationships in the workplace.
-
Mindfully evaluate the attention you give to yourself and others.
-
Practice techniques for skillful communication.
Is this course for me?
-
This course is for anyone who wants to feel more at peace, get more done, have more success in your work, and create team play in the workplace.
-
This course is for both beginning and more advanced students of mindfulness.
-
I outline several body-based practices so if you are someone who spends a lot of time in their head then this course would be great for you because you will learn techniques for coming out of your head and into your body. Your body and your breath are a direct invitation into the present moment.
-
This course is probably not for you if you if you are looking for a mindfulness course that is based in chanting or mantras.
What materials do I get?
-
Videos to guide you deeply into restorative practices
-
Writing prompts to inspire journaling and reflection
I have carefully designed these materials to support you in deepening into embodied mindfulness so that you can live a healthy and deeply fulfilled life.
What students are saying
