Healing in the body. Belonging in the land.

Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or a deeper sense of belonging, we meet exactly where you are and follow the path that’s most alive for you — one breath, one movement, one blessing at a time.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
My work weaves together mindfulness, embodiment, ritual, and ancestral healing to meet you exactly where you are. Each session is a conversation between your intentions, your lived experience, and the tools I’ve gathered from Hindu and Buddhist traditions, interfaith service, InterPlay, somatic awareness, and ceremonial practice.
We usually begin with mindful grounding — arriving in the body, softening into presence. From there, we listen for the right doorway: it might be a guided ancestral connection, a movement or InterPlay practice, a ritual for a life threshold, or focused coaching to clarify your path.
One of the most transformative methods I offer is Ancestral Lineage Healing (developed by Daniel Foor), a gentle, meditative process for connecting with your well and wise ancestors. Once you’re in relationship with them, they can become active partners in healing your lineage and supporting your life today.
Whether we work through ancestry, the body, mindful awareness, or ceremony, the process is relational and adaptive. You don’t have to come in “ready” or with a plan — we meet exactly where you are, and together we discover the next step.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with seekers, leaders, caregivers, and community builders who want depth without dogma — people ready to heal old wounds, embody their gifts, and live in a way that honors both ancestry and future generations.
Some come to explore ancestral connection. Others want mindfulness-based spiritual coaching, embodiment practices, or ritual support for life’s thresholds. Many weave all of these together.
Whether you’re rooted in a spiritual tradition or have stepped away from one, you’re welcome here. We’ll meet exactly where you are, and follow the path that’s most alive for you.
WHO I AM
I’m Aarti (Aar-thee)
I’m Aarti (Aar-thee) — a spiritual coach, ritualist, and facilitator who blends ancestral healing, mindfulness, embodiment, and ceremony. My work draws on Hindu and Buddhist traditions, interfaith service, InterPlay, somatic awareness, and the Ancestral Lineage Healing method developed by Daniel Foor.
I grew up in a practicing Hindu family, deepened my path through Buddhist meditation and interfaith work in Chicago, and now live in the Appalachian Mountains on Cherokee land, where I’m helping to build Moya, a modern spiritual intentional living community.
My style is nurturing, playful, and direct. Whether we meet for ancestral work, mindful coaching, or a custom ceremony, I’d love to explore whether we’re a good fit for each other.
CONNECTING WITH NON-HUMAN REALM
If you feel a pull toward the unseen world but aren’t sure how to access it, you’re not alone — and it’s not your fault. Modern culture often treats spirit connection as strange, scary, or “woo-woo,” but for most of human history, it was simply part of life.
Your body and your lineage already carry the capacity to sense and communicate with the spirit realm. With guidance and practice, this innate ability can reawaken — becoming a source of wisdom, healing, and power.
Even if your mind is skeptical, if your heart is curious, I can help you open this channel. It may take persistence, but the shift can be profound — and it can change the way you see yourself, your ancestors, and the world.

"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
