HOW CAN I HELP?
I’m a Spiritual & Ancestral guide who focuses on heart-centered humans who want to make a difference in the world.
If you’re a non-profit leader, a therapist, an educator, a coach or a change maker who wants to heal ancestral trauma, remove obstacles, reduce overwhelm, clarify your purpose or deepen your spiritual journey, I may be the coach for you.
My ancestors and I can help you to reconnect with your own ancestral wisdom and gifts and transform obstacles.
You do not need to know anything about your ancestry at all to do this work. But it can help you to:
Understand your life’s purpose
Remove obstacles in your life
Clarify your path
Heal personal & family trauma
Heal harms done by your unwell ancestors
Root out “isms” like racism, sexism, classism
Recover lost wisdom
Help to form a deeper connection with land
WHO AM I?
I’m Aarti (Aar-thee)
Spiritual Coaching is my life’s purpose. I’m a natural nurturer and a spiritual seeker who cares deeply about people. I’ve fostered and mentored lots of young people and I’ve held nurturing and healing spaces for thousands of adults.
My spiritual training began with my family. I grew up as a practicing Hindu. In my 20s, I worked for a Buddhist meditation center in Chicago where I counseled many people and held meditation and spiritual programming. I was deeply involved in interfaith work and trained in spiritual tools from a variety of wisdom traditions. During the height of covid, ancestral lineage healing began to become my main practice.
My ancestors moved me to the Appalachian mountains and the New River on Cherokee land, in May 2023. My partner and our cats moved from the city we had known all our lives, Chicago, to the much smaller town of Boone, NC. Right before the hurricane struck, we purchased a house on 14 acres in Todd, NC. I’m getting to know small town living, the south and how to care for land. We are currently building an everyday modern spiritual intentional living community, Moya.
I’m a natural born connector, collaborator and space holder. I have a nurturing, playful, and direct style and I enjoy helping people. I’d love to meet you and explore if we’re a good fit for each other.

"My coaching with Aarti has been a transformative journey. Each session with her has been incredibly impactful, leaving me with invaluable insights that I continue to reflect on for weeks. She has greatly influenced my leadership style, enabling me to build stronger relationships with my team, students, and community. Aarti has empowered me to trust my intuition as a leader and make bold decisions with confidence. I am grateful to have her as a partner who invests in both my career and personal growth, making me feel truly supported." - Clara H.
Aarti co-led a Transformative Justice workshop for a community project I’m involved in. The workshop was wonderful and helpful. Aarti held safe and welcoming space for everyone in our group to lean into the concepts of harm, accountability, repair and healing. She also provided resources before and after the workshop for us to continue our learning on our own. I appreciate Aarti’s embodied and compassionate approach to this work. I felt beautifully challenged and kindly held on this learning journey. - Christina B
