Shakti is the most legitimate guide if you are trying to go deeper into any healing, intuitive, or meditation practice. It is so important to have South Asian people claim stewardship of yoga and cultural healing practices, and Shakti is THE most authentic person I have met in this regard. I mean authentic in her way of sitting with herself as well. You will feel fully seen and gain clarity just by spending time with her. I would recommend the Full Moon Women's Circles, Breathwork sessions, and Intuitive Healing Sessions for sure. All three of these have helped me have IMMENSE growth over the years, in different ways than psychotherapy or meditating on my own have done.

I was introduced to Shakti by a mutual friend who insisted I try meditation. Historically, I did not find meditation helpful and actually found it frustrating more than anything. That changed when I met Shakti Shakti is a warm, comforting, nonjudgemental presence who is welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely invested in the lives and wellbeing of her clients and friends. While I was nervous to attend the full-moon meditation, I found myself able to shake the anxiety almost immediately. Shakti eases the group into the meditation with a genuine interest in everyone’s state of mind and plenty of encouragement. She has an incredibly soothing voice and excellent selection of music that really helps you focus on getting the most out of your meditation together. She prioritizes comfort and emphasizes that meditation and spirituality are everyone’s individual journey, which went a long way in helping me shed my self judgement. Since my first attendance, I have never missed a full-moon mediation. I look forward to it every month and have not only learned a lot about myself, but have genuinely felt more in touch with myself than ever before. As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety, I can attest with confidence that the learnings I’ve taken from Shakti have helped me become a healthier, happier, self-assured person. Because of my positive experiences in group events with Shakti, I also booked a 1:1 session with her and was blown away by her ability to to draw out deep-seated pain and help me heal it. Our session was so powerful, I still revisit the recording she so graciously provided me. I even introduced my mom to Shakti, who spent months working together 1:1 to work through multiple life traumas. Shakti is a deeply patient, deeply empathetic person. I consider her a friend, a teacher, and a confidant. I am so deeply grateful to have met her and my life is infinitely better off for having her in it, both as a friend and as a spiritual adviser. I cannot recommend her and Spiritual Alignment's offerings highly enough.

Shakti is truly an amazing and authentic person to work with. I recently took one of her master classes, and it was a great experience! She has a deep level of knowledge in the subject matter and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking more clarity and zen in life.
