Testimonials

  • “Krishna’s Self-Love pranayama, meditation and journaling series came just at the right time! I had no idea when I entered this series how much I needed the support of a loving space to bring clarity to a big transitional decision-making time in my life. Krishna created a spacious container and guided us at a pace that allowed me to absorb her wisdom and also tap into my own knowing. Her skillful and delicate facilitation gave me a tremendous sense of being cared for. I’m full of gratitude.”

    - Liz B.

  • “I’ve have been a regular student of Krishna's since early 2019 and am at a point where nothing can stop me from missing my weekly class with her. If there are workshops and meditation classes she offers in addition to my regular yoga practice with her, I immediately jump on them. Why? Because Krishna is one of the most versatile and interesting teachers I have had; she is thoughtful and intentional about each class or workshop she leads connecting all parts of the person. She is excellent at explaining and simplifying concepts. She is inspiring and challenging but in a way that is somehow still gentle and forgiving in one's practice. It is a given that after Wednesday evenings I sleep the best and her yoga nidras are incredibly relaxing. It is obvious Krishna puts thought and feeling into all she does and gives out in her teaching and guidance, and she is truly someone I look forward to learning from.”

    - Dragica (Dee) M.

  • "Krishna somehow senses exactly what the class needs- no two are the same. Some days yoga can be purely vinyasa - flowing from one pose to another nonstop, pushing the envelope. Other days it can be more meditative and peaceful, helping us get in touch with our inner selves. But whatever the process, the end result is the same - to leave the class feeling that sense of oneness with yourself and with the world. But beyond yoga, Krishna has helped me be the best I can be healthwise. As a licensed nutritionist, she has guided me on how to make better eating choices, to find that balance that will nourish the body in the right way. I am the healthiest I've ever been, physically and emotionally, and I owe that largely to Krishna's influence. Thank you!"

    - Chat S.

  • "Krishna embodies all the qualities that are essential in her field: compassion, knowledge, and a holistic approach for all her clients. I'm really impressed by the diversity of her clientele -- from truck drivers to teachers. This speaks to her versatility and ability to address and assess a variety of lifestyles. She has drastically changed the way I approach and see food. Krishna is also an incredibly down to earth and lovely person."

    - Elena L-T.

  • "Krishna has worked with me as my health coach appointed by Executive Health Exams for several years between 2008 to 2015. All the appointments were kept on the phone and they were so productive that I used to look forward to those monthly follow up phone calls. Krishna helped me with my nutrition by maintaining a log documenting the portions consumed. She encouraged me to maintain healthy diet during my frequent and long travels. The other topics of constructive discussions were the daily exercise, maintaining healthy blood pressure and following up on the annual physical exam results, specially the numbers on lipid profile. Krishna as a person touched my heart when I shared the news about losing my son. She always reminded me that I am a good father. We always shared the progress on Yoga practice as I am also a certified Yoga teacher. Overall Krishna has contributed a lot with tips for me to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I wish Krishna the best in her new ventures."

    - Mahendra B.

  • "When going thru a life change, Krishna became my Personal Health Coach. She helped me to figure out how to manage nutrition, exercise and stress while traveling 4 days a week. I appreciated how she could give me a different point of view when I got stuck and provided various resources when needed. She is knowledgeable, a good listener and resourceful."

    - Mary Jane M.

  • "Krishna is a really caring and dedicated nutritionist. By working with her I have lost nearly 35 pounds, feel great, and totally changed my eating habits. She has convinced me that vegetables are good---and I now crave them instead of sweets. She even has recommended recipes and food sources so I can fit nutrition into my crazy schedule. Krishna is also a great yoga instructor, who has taught many classes at one of the local yoga studios. I always try to attend her classes when she teaches there. Thank you Krishna!"

  • As Senior Vice President Education and Wellness at the Church Pension Group (CPG) Krishna was part of my team. Krishna is a high performing individual. For CPG, she focused on integrating the social determinants of health and well-being into our programs, with a highlight on how they impact financial well-being and literacy. The programs ranged from in-person conferences to virtual events, on-line learning and podcasts. Krishna brings expertise, collaboration and skill to all her tasks and goals. The resulting work results in quality programs that continually exceed expectations. Krishna also has a calming presence which is especially evident when she hosts the podcast series we do, Choose Well. Additionally, Krishna is a team player and a critical thinker always available to help others. I always enjoy collaborating with and learning from Krishna. Her contribution to our educational programs has been fundamental and invaluable to CPG and our clients.
