When I started working with Jaya over 12 months ago, I was so removed from anything beautiful, or fine, lovely, or lovable about myself. I was consumed by negativity, and barely making it through the week. Skilfully, gently yet with precision, intuition, Jaya was able to facilitate me to acquaint myself with those selves that were hiding in fear, undernourished, living in the shadows. Working through art and creative expressive work with Jaya has awoken in me the notion that I could heal "all the way better". Jaya's work can touch and tend to wounds that years of other forms of therapy have not touched, let alone healed. I find the resources she provides so effective, and part of that is due to the gentle and organic, skillful ways they are introduced in sessions. I remember them easily, they come to mind now in the same way . Despite some very painful circumstances I still am navigating, the work has built me up stronger in many other ways. I am in touch with my authentic self, my talents, fluid in my creative endeavors, and grown in confidence in myself. Jaya's presence in my world is a gift in every way, at a very difficult juncture in my life.
I have worked with Jaya for 4 years and my journey has been exceptional. I trust her and her approach, I feel safe, heard and understood. Jaya has a unique and riveting take on tending to ones mental well being whilst inviting the wisdom our bodies inherently carry. I am grateful we are able to collaborate with one another.
Jaya is an intuitive practitioner who has played a massive role in my journey to feeling stronger in who I am. Her approach of melding talk therapy, body work and arts/play based activities together has allowed me to go much deeper into my exploration, and unlock new possibilities for myself. I would recommend Jaya without any hesitation!
Jaya's process and practice have allowed me to go deeper and tap into what's going on for me in a way I haven't been able to through talk therapy alone. She holds space with gentleness, curiosity and confidence so you feel like you are in safe hands. As a woman of colour and migrant, I have felt particularly understood and seen by Jaya.
Jaya has accompanied me through getting to meet and know deeply my body and my inner child for the last 3 years. It has been incredibly special to me to build and grow this therapeutic relationship with Jaya, who has a way of seeing and witnessing me authentically, while learning to also laugh together along the way. I am grateful to continue our work together in the next years.
