Welcome to SUKAVANA

A sanctuary for strategic minds and free spirits standing at life’s inner crossroads — whether emerging through loss, exhaustion, transition or the aching question, “Who am I now?”

Your Wisdom Is Within You ~

I’m here to guide you to trust it, embody it, and act from it — with clarity, compassion & courage.

A Crossroad?

You’ve lived deeply. You’ve achieved, cared, supported, led. You’ve held it all together — often with quiet strength and grace — even as your inner world began to grew heavy.

There’re too many “shoulds”.
Too many voices.
Too many expectations.
The pressure to conform… the fear of disappointing others… the sense that you have to do it all alone.

And Then Comes A Moment

When thinking harder no longer brings clarity.
When pushing harder no longer brings results.
When the mind loops, your body aches and joy feels far away.
When success looks full on the outside but feels strangely hollow within.
When the path that once felt right begins to blur.
When life asks you - quietly or cataclysmically - to pause.

This moment isn’t failure.
It’s the beginning of something new.

Something Is Shifting

A sacred pause.
Not to fix yourself. But to remember.

To shed what no longer fits.
To make space for what’s more real now.
To reconnect with what matters most.

More Truth. More Trust. More Aliveness.

And when you're standing at an inner crossroad, you don’t need more pressure or strategies. You need a space to lay it all down — the overthinking, the uncertainty, the weight of needing to “get it right.”

SUKAVANA offers that space. A steady presence that holds you - fully - when the old ways no longer serve and the new ones have yet to take shape.

The Challenge

In a world obsessed with performance and quick fixes, we’re taught to override our inner signals. To numb our truth. Silence our needs. Push our bodies. Hustle for worth. We learn to survive by staying busy, sharp, and endlessly in motion. From the outside, life may look polished — even successful. But inside, something feels fragmented. Disconnected. Incomplete.

And yet, you sense there’s more.
More coherence. More meaning. More you.

You already hold the wisdom for a bold, fulfilling life.

Ready For Your Next Chapter?

If you’ve outgrown the race for external validation - and feel the quiet ache for something truer, clearer, more alive - you’re not alone.

Sometimes, the next step isn’t out there. Because what’s needed now isn’t more doing - it’s remembering.

If you find yourself in that tender in-between - where the old ways no longer fit, and the new ones haven’t quite taken shape - you’re not lost. You’re at the beginning of something more embodied, more real. This is the liminal space where The Altitude Room was made for you.

The Invitation

Step into
The Altitude Room

Your inner compass.
Your next chapter.

The Altitude Room — SUKAVANA’s signature experience — is a space where deep companionship and quiet remembering unfold.

It’s a living process that meets the whole person - mind, body, spirit, and cultural reality. A sacred space for this threshold you’re standing in, honouring your pain, your questions, your dreams, your doubts, and your joy.

Here, you rise above the noise and pause - to meet yourself in truth, not to push forward.
To untangle the overwhelm.
To listen and feel in.
To return to what has always been yours: your inner knowing.

This is not about fixing or adding.
You don’t have to burn it all down.
It’s about reconnecting — with your body, your breath, your intuition, and the moment right in front of you.

This isn’t about self-optimisation. It’s about self-reclamation.

We slow down to hear what’s been buried beneath the striving. Together, we shift from mental chaos — the overthinking, the self-doubt, the quiet distress — into steady, embodied trust. Through presence instead of pressure or performance.

Here, there is no dogma. No need to hold it all together.

Only deep listening. Gentle clarity. Soul-rooted guidance. Because clarity isn’t something you chase - it’s something you remember.

The Shift

You shift from:
Chaos → to calm
Outer pressure → to inner alignment
Overthinking → to trust
Reactivity → to mindful response
Concepts → to courageous, soul-led action
Disconnection → to wholeness—mind, body, heart, and spirit

Decisions become clear.
Direction returns.
You begin to live, lead, and love from the inside out, returning to what’s already here.

As your awareness expands, the inner noise softens.
Your nervous system steadies.
You begin to feel safe enough to transform.

Old patterns surface, without judgement, simply with compassion.
You stop performing what was never truly yours.
You stop outsourcing your self-worth.
You come home to yourself.

From that place, you move with presence, clarity, and deep self-trust — beyond fear and habit.
You reclaim your vitality.
Life deepens—regaining meaning and richness.

Your relationships feel lighter, more real.
You create impact without burning out.
You reconnect with your embodied truth.

Is This For You?

Am I at a Crossroad?

The Altitude Room is for

Recovering Overthinkers, Quiet Visionaries, Brave Feelers, & Wise Rebels at life’s inner crossroads

Ready to move beyond self-sabotage into embodied clarity, deep trust & unapologetic aliveness.

This is for you if you’re ready to meet yourself, fully accept who you are, and embrace what is.

This is not for you if you’re seeking quick fixes, external validation, or fast results without depth.

Why Work With Me?

Because I won’t offer you another formula.

I’ll guide you to hear and feel yourself again - to reclaim your Inner Compass. Clearly, gently - and when needed, with honest challenge - at the pace your body can trust.

No fluff.

With me, you won’t be asked to work harder, think more, or push through.

Instead, I become your mirror, visionary guide, challenger - and companion, if you wish - so you can unhook from the old strategies that no longer serve you, and find a way forward that feels more honest, more spacious, and truly your own.

My approach balances structure and flow, logic and intuition, discipline and grace—meeting you where you are.

What We Do Together

For the brave hearts and thoughtful souls ready to live in full colour

Grounded in ancient wisdom and guided by modern science, this co-creative space honours and nourishes your whole being.

Here we pause. You bring your tangled questions, meet yourself with fresh eyes, and begin again — from inner knowing, free from striving.

We meet the body, the moment, the mystery.
We listen deeply. We remember. We reorient.
We move with integrity toward what’s next.

Because the answers you seek aren’t in the noise.
Because your next chapter asks for a deeper kind of alignment.

Why We Work With Our Body & Intuition

Because thinking differently starts with moving differently, as our body carries the memories our mind has dissociated from.

Imagine this:

A few months—or years—from now...
If you keep turning away from this threshold,
If you continue overriding what your inner knowing is trying to tell you,
life may still look “fine” on the outside.

But inside, the quiet ache may linger.
A sense of disconnection might remain.
Your clarity, vitality, and deeper self could still feel just out of reach.

This isn’t about fear. It’s about honesty.
About honouring the part of you that already knows:
Staying in what’s familiar has its own cost.
And there’s another way — available when you’re ready.

The true gifts of coaching go beyond logic. They're felt — in the heart, in the body, in the whole of who you are.

Step into the experience.

Am I at a Crossroad?

Crossroads can feel like:

The quiet heaviness of grief—the kind that follows loss, change, or endings you didn’t choose.

The flatness of exhaustion, where nothing feels alive.
The disorientation of standing in the messy middle of reinvention, or life reshaping itself around you.
The aching question: Who am I now?
When the life you built no longer fits—and the next step isn’t clear yet.

Perhaps you carry a deep sensitivity you’ve long misunderstood as a weakness, but quietly know is your guide.
You’re someone who’s always held it together, succeeded outwardly, helped others. But now? You’re longing for something simpler, more honest. A life that feels like yours.
You’re sensing you’ve outgrown the high-performing, over-functioning and people-pleasing patterns that once kept you safe.
You question the version of success you were told to chase.
You’re craving clarity, peace, beauty, and meaning.
A deeper integrity. A quieter kind of success.
And above all, a space where your questions aren’t problems—but doorways.

The Altitude Room (next page)

When you’re standing at an inner threshold, you don’t need more strategies, pressure, or noise. You need a sacred space to lay it all down — the overthinking, the uncertainty, the weight of needing to "get it right.”

You need a space that can hold you — fully — when the old ways no longer serve, and the new ones have yet to take shape.
The Altitude Room is that space. A sanctuary for your whole self — mind, body, and spirit. Here, you’re invited to arrive exactly as you are. No masks. Just presence.

From here, clarity begins to return — naturally, without force.
Because you're not a problem to be solved, but a being ready to unfold.
Because it holds complexity with kindness.
Because it’s attuned to the quiet intelligence within you—and to the seasons of your life.
Because it uncovers and integrates the root causes of your challenges.
Here, you rise to find your bearings — and remember it’s safe to move again your way.
This is where your next chapter unfolds—not from hustle, but from wholeness.
Where insight comes through presence, not pressure.
Where clarity arises through the body, not just the mind.
When you begin to trust yourself—and move from that place—everything shifts.
Joy, emotional aliveness, and inner beauty stop feeling like luxuries... and start becoming your natural way of being.
The Altitude Room is a soul-led, five-phase process that gently guides you from disorientation to deep alignment.

It meets you where you are and supports your return to clarity, inner rhythm, and embodied knowing.
1. Clear the Fog
Gently release overwhelm to hear your true self.
Outcome: Relief, inner spaciousness, a sense that “something true is here.”
2. Ground
Reclaim trust in your unique rhythm and sensitivity.
Outcome: Rooted yes, self-trust, inner congruence.
3. Rise Higher
See your life with compassionate clarity and integrate what shaped you.
Outcome: Self-compassion, wholeness, newfound insight.
4. Move with Wisdom
Turn clarity into authentic, aligned steps.
Outcome: Embodied integrity, readiness to act from truth.
5. Live the Shift
Anchor your knowing into rhythms and choices that sustain your transformation.
Outcome: Sustainable congruence, expressed clarity, aliveness.
This is deep, spacious support for the season you're in—not to push you forward, but to help you come home to yourself and walk your path. You’ll receive:
- Soulful, personalised guidance to reconnect with clarity, inner peace, and purpose
- Nervous system and emotional care to soften stress, restore calm, release outdated pattern
- Embodied practices to rebuild trust in yourself and attune to your natural rhythm
- Compassionate challenge that meets you where you are and invites action rooted in integrity
- Tools to shift from mental loops and overthinking into grounded presence
- Space to rehearse, reflect, and remember—before bringing insight into the outer world
- A sacred, steady container that honours your timing and innate wisdom
What you won’t get
No rigid plans, surface-level tools, or prescriptive formulas—no more noise in your already full life.
The Altitude Room draws on modern science and ancient wisdom. It’s not a model—it’s a felt experience, where insight emerges not through force, but through the intelligence of your body, your heart, and the mystery we move within. A return to reconnection, clarity, and courageous embodiment.
This evidence-based process nurtures your whole being—mind, body, spirit, and environment—honouring both your inner wilderness and your clear, strategic mind.
Rooted in Humanism, Systems Thinking, Eastern and African philosophies, Integral Theory, Cultural and Positive Psychology, and trauma-informed, somatic, and solution-focused therapies, this integrative approach supports your personal, professional, and relational wholeness.
Mirroring the natural arc of transformation—disorientation → embodiment → perspective → action → integration—this process invites meaningful connection and lasting change, so you can live, lead, and love from your most authentic and courageous essence.

From SUKAVANA to The Altitude Room.
From Me to You. (next page)

Here we pause. You bring your tangled questions, meet yourself with fresh eyes, and begin again — not through striving, but from inner knowing. This isn’t about fixing or adding, but remembering.
We meet the body, the moment, the mystery.
We listen deeply.
We reorient.
We move with integrity toward what’s next.
Because the answers you seek aren’t in the noise.
Because your next chapter asks for deeper kind of alignment.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
- Quiet strength.
- Sustainable change—not dramatic upheaval.
- Seeking truth through curiosity and critical thinking—questioning “shoulds” and gently challenging the status quo.
- The power of the first conscious step.
- Embracing what truly fits—what gives us a whole-body “yes.”
- Courage to walk the less-traveled path with integrity.
I believe in choice—especially when we feel safe enough to claim it.
In shaping life through presence and intention.
In the quiet power of being real, of imperfection, and of gratitude.
I move with clarity, depth, and embodied awareness.
I honour:
- Embodied wisdom over endless thinking.
- Sacred thresholds over quick fixes.
- Nourishing the roots, not masking the wilt.
- Beauty as a compass—imperfect, alive, and true.
- Presence and authenticity over performative success.
- Deep reconnection as the foundation for wholehearted action.
The path is yours — I create space and guide you to see, trust, embody it and act from it with courage and love.

Make it

Born from a life of deep personal transformation, SUKAVANA blends embodied wisdom, soul-led coaching, and evidence-based practices to guide you home to yourself—whole, present, and powerfully alive.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Integral & Embodied
Our work draws from somatic coaching, mindfulness, integral psychology, positive intelligence, and cultural systems thinking—offering a layered, research-informed approach to transformation. Growth doesn’t happen in the mind alone. We engage body, emotion, intuition, nervous system, and environment—because real change is always embodied.
Nature & Culture as Teachers
You are shaped by your relationships, ancestry, and surroundings. We honour this complexity, and we partner with nature as a guide—helping you root into truth and realign with rhythm.
Trauma-Aware & Future-Focused
We hold space for the depth of your past while supporting your becoming. This isn’t about fixing who you’re not—it’s about stepping into who you’re ready to be.
Nonlinear & Tailored
This work is a sacred unfolding. Your process sets the pace—led by truth, not urgency.
Wholeness Is Your Nature
Well-being isn’t something you chase—it’s what you return to. Through the rhythms of body, story, and nature, you remember the wholeness that’s always been yours.
Your Inner Compass
Your body knows what your mind forgets. Your soul remembers. Sensations, emotions, and intuition aren’t noise—they’re guidance. We learn to listen again.
Embodied Courage
Real bravery doesn’t begin with certainty—it begins with curiosity. This is a space to move from self-trust, not self-pressure.
Beauty - especially in imperfection - Is a Bridge
Aesthetic joy clears mental fog and softens the heart. Through nature, ritual, poetry, and art, we awaken what’s simple, sacred, and real.
- Rhythmic, not linear – you can move in and out of phases and it allows you to lead from your own intelligence
- Deeply intuitive, yet precise and clear
- No forcing, no fixing, just remembering and realigning
- Blends intellectual precision with emotional depth, somatic intuition. Unifys modern science with ancient wisdom
- Fully Integrated: Rooted in the belief that reconnecting mind, body, and soul with nature and culture supports true well-being, healthy relationships, and authentic performance
- Embodiment: releasing your potential involves more than cognitive learning—it requires awareness of your body and its signals, and so creates more choices
- Root-Cause Work: We look beneath the symptoms to create lasting change
- Solution-Focused: Define how you want to show up in the world—and take steps in your personal rhythm to get there
- Tailormade: No cookie-cutter tools—your journey is co-created
- Unconventional. No fluff.
We work with different tools and methods, and respond to what you uniquely need. Every person and every journey is different.
Mind – Cultivating Inner Clarity
This is a space to grow in self-awareness—through conscious reflection and emotional honesty.
We nurture emotional intelligence, exploring how you feel, respond, and relate. The focus isn’t on fixing, but on shifting from problem-focused patterns to grounded, compassionate clarity.

Body – Returning to Inner Ground
Your body holds wisdom your mind can’t always name. Through practices like breathwork, movement, and somatic awareness, we reconnect with the language of sensation. Here, posture, presence, and felt experience become tools for grounding, regulation, and embodied self-trust.

Spirit – Rooted in Meaning
This is an invitation into deeper purpose. We explore what truly matters to you—your values, your questions, your connection to something greater. Through simple, inclusive practices, we align your outer path with your inner truth, creating space for meaning, belonging, and soul-led direction.

Relationships
We don’t grow alone—we grow in connection. This work supports you in deepening how you relate, communicate, and hold space with others. Whether with family, friends, colleagues, or community, the focus is on cultivating relationships rooted in empathy, honesty, and mutual respect. Not perfect—but real, nourishing, and true.
Nature – Remembering We Belong
Nature offers more than beauty—it brings us back to balance. Through eco-psychology and nature-based practices, we reconnect with the living world as mirror, guide, and grounding force. This work invites reflection in wild spaces, mindfulness in the everyday, and a deeper sense of belonging to something greater.
Woven through every session and phase—how we show up, listen, and move together.
- Your knowing leads—self as compass, not outside guru
- Genuine connection
- Presence over pressure
- We offer guidance, not fixing
- Courage arises through compassion
- Integrity through personal responsibility
- Truth is felt and known
- Embodied learning over passive intake
- Respect for culture, rhythm, cycles, and the whole person.
