Kamala helps her clients resolve physical and emotional issues and rebalance their health so they can live fully from a place of inner direction. Her specialty is facilitating inner knowing through her blend of body-centered mindfulness methods, qigong and heartmind awareness, and the rich tapestry and modalities of classical Chinese medicine. With these skills she helps people relax, look within, and align their lifestyle with the body’s wisdom and the greater source of healing in and around them.
