Hi, I'm Shruti
I offer flower essence therapy and facilitate body awareness + movement practices to help you tune into new possibilities and choices that support your body and being.
In a world brimming with overstimulation and distraction, it is easy to lose sight of what is essential to our well-being.
Through the practice of simple, enjoyable movements, the cultivation of present-time awareness and connection to self, and the application of remedies from nature, we work together to bring attention and nourishment to foundational levels of your mind, body, and spirit.
The Orientation
My offerings are an invitation to explore and lean into the essence of your resilience and fulfillment.
They are designed to help you clarify and refine your awareness, draw care to the places + patterns that need it, and feel freer and more at home in your particular, precious body and life.
The orientation of my approach is soul embodiment.
I am very interested in the way that our soul is bridged to form and how our everyday lives can influence, support, and when necessary, repair this bridge.
I believe we live at our best when we live true to who we are.
This includes honoring and clearly expressing our deepest values, life purpose, innate nature, and unique gifts and talents.
My own journey has given me a lot of fuel to pursue
this exploration.
The first of many tipping/turning points came several years ago, when I could no longer tolerate feeling trapped in my life and body.
At times, hope seemed bleak or nonexistent, and I frequently felt rocked by whatever the weather was at the moment, whether internal or external.
Although I had no clear idea of how to emerge from this prison, I followed the breadcrumbs, which kept drawing me back to nature, creativity, and the whispers of the body.
This has led me to seek out, experience, and train in a variety of modalities, including trauma-informed yoga, qigong, somatic mindfulness, flower essence therapy, energy healing, shamanic journeys, and nature-based expressive arts. I have been especially helped by learning about the nervous system’s role in resolving dysfunction and illness, including how nature and creativity can serve to foster a sense of wholeness and integration.
These generous breadcrumbs have become allies, teaching me how to better hear, be present with, interpret, and facilitate communication between the layers of one’s body and being. This education, like all of life, is ongoing and keeps refining as I continue my journey.
I have also learned from, and continue to evolve through, the reflections and kindnesses of teachers both human and nonhuman.
At each step, my path has unfolded as inklings of possibility that invite me to recognize them for what they are, and then dare to try them on for size.
These are not ideas of what could be, though we may start there.
Rather, they are concrete experiments and felt curiosities that unfold our wonder and beckon us onward, helping us transition from one state or way of being to another and live more stably from there.
These inklings of possibility have guided me to seek the pulse of hope and renewal in the subtlest of gestures, the itty bitty choices, the unexpected turn of perspective offered by a story, a sound, an image, a bite of a novel food.
With each morsel of possibility we integrate, our hope shines brighter, and we consolidate our newfound wisdom through the way we live and show up. That lays the ground for true resilience.
By giving ourselves to life this way, we can learn to question the way things have always been, or at least, the way we've frequently taken them to be, and be surprised by what is willing to shift.
This simple but potent commitment has given me a chance to initiate fresh ways of being with not only what is around me, but also what is inside me. It has enlivened new choices and new understandings, allowing the situation I had initially found myself in, to start giving way.
My prayer is that you are able to create the conditions to slow down and take stock of the scripted movie or programmed playlist that has been your life and the way your body moves and is. Then it becomes easier to notice and open to options that you simply could not have before.
From what I've seen, much of the transformation
happens in this space.
For here, we are able to better listen to the insights of our body, heart, and soul, whose voices so easily get boxed out when we spend most of our time at the surface of life, keeping things going just to stay alive.
This way of living often keeps intact the very things—relationships, job, diet, etc.—that are simply not working for us, even though they appear to be helping us ‘keep it together’.
While it can be difficult, even heartbreaking, to face this truth, it can also be your ticket home.
You can do this step by step, insight by insight; it doesn’t have to happen all at once, but sometimes, simply knowing it can happen, is all we need to get started.
It opens the door to refresh the way we encounter life, and in turn, the way that life is able to touch, inform, and nurture us.
Wherever you are on your journey, there is ample hope and unending possibility to harvest.
Though it may not necessarily look like what you think it should, and it may not come on the schedule you’re trying so hard to hold it to.
If you can set aside preconceptions of what should work and when, the intelligence that lives in your body and weaves through nature has many gifts to share…
Nothing about you is in the way.
In fact, as my inner guidance has reassured me often on my own journey,
you are the way.
We are all only ever finding our way. Let's find it together.
"Shruti has a warm, kind energy. She creates the feeling of comfort and safety to explore how she can be of service. Her pure heart is evident. The messages/energy/wisdom that shines through her heart is not like what you may have ever experienced. It is powerful, but gentle. In my life, I've experienced many different types of alternative healing. Shruti's work has deeply impacted me and made parts of me feel seen and celebrated in ways I've never experienced. Your heart is safe here.”
