Feldenkrais Method® Educator
Aruna Padmanabhan is a guild certified Feldenkrais Method® teacher who leads Awareness Through Movement® classes. Centered around slow, gentle movements and guided attention, these classes create a space for us to listen to ourselves, in a way we may not have since childhood.
Bringing her own interest in body awareness, Aruna encourages students to be curious about themselves and in the process uncover small, largely unconscious patterns that restrict movement and influence behavior. During the lessons, movements done with awareness engage the neuroplasticity of the brain to create new patterns, new habits and new ways of being in the world.
Aruna’s classes, taught in a warm and friendly manner, allow each person to discover that finding ease in small movements can have a profound effect on the entire self.

Quantum Healing Hypnosis + Sound Alchemy
Hello! My name is Becky Shanks. I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Quantum Healing Hypnotist, Reiki Master, Sound Alchemist and Intuitive Astrologer. My quantum healing practice, Presents of Mind, blends hypnosis, energy healing and crystal singing alchemy bowls to harmonize conscious desires and subconscious beliefs. I’m a healing artist, starseed and explorer of cosmic consciousness; heavily focused on balancing light + dark, solar + lunar, conscious + unconscious, masculine + feminine …the magical state of mind known as THETA.
I spend the vast majority of time floating the sacred sound current and swimming in the galactic sea (Pisces Moon here) — exploring deep, inner space, reclaiming splintered aspects of Soul with a birth chart as the map and planets as my guides. Presents of Mind establishes therapeutic dialogue between the all-knowing Subconscious — the Highest Self and Inner Child — and your Present Self. This line of communication offers the wisdom and perspective necessary to release the pain of the past, rise above cultural and familial conditioning, and create the life you truly desire.
It is my purpose and joy to hold sacred space and love shadows into the Light. Presents of Mind serves awakening empaths, starseeds and highly sensitive humans; people walking a spiritual path, creatives and blossoming artists; those recovering from codependent relationship and all forms of addiction. I help people process, release chronic emotional and physical discomfort; calm anxiety, elevate depression, express anger, manage grief. I also guide people to open, develop, and embody intuition — establish and strengthen communication with the Higher Self or Soul — and live the life the Heart desires.
Mover of Energy, Botanical Alchemist, Nervous System Regulator
Life Alignment Practitioner
Chiara Prato is a Life Alignment practitioner. Life Alignment is an extraordinary system that assists you to release the intense energetic and emotional charge that has accumulated in your body over your lifetime. It helps you to re-write your past, re-wire your brain and balance your auric field and move into alignment with your true essence.
Chiara’s path started casually with an Aikido lesson, where for the first time, she experienced energies in a conscious way. Curious and enthusiastic about this new discovery, Chiara first began her studies of Naturopathy, focusing on Chromo-therapy and Touch for Health.
But the real change occurred when she discovered Life Alignment in 2010. Chiara no longer felt alone and no longer thought “it was me against the world.” As a result, Chiara felt the connection to the energy and support of her ancestors and found her place in the Universe.
Chiara became a Life Alignment Practitioner in 2016. Since then, her love for this technique continues to grow, as the system evolves. She shares this precious technique with the rest of the world, and lives in Italy where she is training to become a Life Alignment teacher.

Awaken Ananda - Awaken Your Supreme Bliss
Priya, of Awaken Ananda, is the Centers newest in-house healer. A former criminal defense lawyer, Priya beautifully blends the practical and spiritual. Priya’s work is multi-layered and multi-dimensional, working with the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual.
Priya believes that the healing relationship is sacred, “To work with a person’s energy is to touch a soul as well as a body. I am honored to share this journey with you. Thank you for the gift of sharing space. Just like a doula’s job is to accompany and guide the delivery of a baby and not give birth for an expectant mother — a transformational healer exists to ease all doubts, untangle each confusion, and help return someone to the presence and innocence of their naturally aligned state of being at whatever speed is destined for it to unfold.”
In a healing session, one can expect ancient and time-tested techniques founded in art and science of Usui Reiki, Karuna Reiki (Reiki of Compassion), Magnified Healing, Access Consciousness and Shamanism. She incorporates Eastern philosophy, intuitive coaching, sound healing, yoga, essential oils, mantras, crystals, breath work, and guided meditations.
As a certified healer and yoga teacher, Priya extensively trained in India by a Reiki Grand Master, Shamanic practitioners with the lineage of the Hawaiian Huna and the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre.
