TESTIMONIALS
“Working with Kadambini was nothing short of life changing for me. She helped me navigate some difficult experiences and make some decisions. I did a set of 7 one on one sessions and while I thought I was just going to be focused on improving my communication skills, the coaching went into me learning to be more authentic in my relationships. Kadambini has my highest possible recommendation. She is wise and fearless.” - Alex Mc Ferron, Berkeley, California
“Kadambini Is incredibly skilled as a group facilitator, guiding and participating in such a way that supports deep inquiry into the self. Her work allows us to open more deeply and release what holds us back from leading a fuller life. She is a grounded, wise soul that creates safety in the circle while holding a structure that supports focus, so that the group goes far and beyond a “support group.” I always left our group evenings feeling sweetness from all the connection with the circle of women - and feeling penetrated and opened into a deeper level of myself with more contact with my shadow world - as it was reached into with the gentle skillful sword that Kadambini’s deep inquiry group provides. Thank you Kadambini for such a rich soulful experience !!” - Renee "DeAnna" Sadiq, MSW, LCSW.
“I believe I can say that I was lucky to have been introduced to Kadambini through a friend. Since our first conversation, I felt easy to chat up with her- which, in my opinion, was the most essential if I were coaching under someone. To be as knowledgeable, empathetic and yet practical while coaching, truly makes Kandambini a super star in what she does. Her sessions enthused me to make an internal shift within me for a better understanding - of myself and people around me. This transformation is certainly overwhelming, welcoming, and I'm glad it's still happening! :) Thank you for being the best at what you do, Kadambini. Wish for you to prosper more and help more.” - Krutika Mathihalli, Marketing Professional, Bangalore, India.

I have known Kadambini as a coach for many years now. I am grateful to her for the support she has provided me in this journey of self discovery and empowerment. She is passionate about supporting people and provides a space that allows one to just BE, without any judgement, a space to be vulnerable, embracing all our strengths and flaws. As a coach she is like clear water, still and calm, which reflects back one’s state of being. Her questions have helped gain insights, dis-tangle from my stories and see and accept reality as it is. She is very focused and insists on taking actions and do-ables to make the changes and insights more concrete.” - Ananya Prasad, Educational Law and Policy Consultant, Bangalore

“Kadambini has enabled me to unpack a baggage of fears and vulnerabilities and work on the same to live deeply. She has been very supportive when I slipped into old unhealthy patterns and inspired me to come out of them. As my coach for the last two years, she has helped me unearth my potential, accept my humanity and put me in touch with a huge reservoir of self-empathy. All this, I could walk with her, with so much acceptance, ease and compassion. For that, I am so grateful.” - Sashwati Mishra, Social Justice Researcher, Mumbai.
“I appreciate the kindness, skill and grace Kadambini brings to the Cultivating Inner Freedom group. She creates and holds a safe, supportive, and healing space. I am so appreciative of your encouragement to share in the group, it was so helpful to share and receive empathy and reflection.” - Tara, San Francisco Bay Area.
“Learning NVC and being part of empathy groups has been much deeper and transformative for me than therapy. Kadambini’s empathy practice group has been useful in learning about myself and what is keeping me from being more open to getting my needs met in my life. It has provided a space where I can create deep connections with other women and get empathic support. Non-violent communication helps me express my feelings and needs more directly without feeling ashamed of them. It also supports deeper connections with others by deepening my ability to listen to them better.” - Lisa Dettmer, Producer, KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine, San Francisco Bay Area.
