1:1 Mentoring & Coaching
In the time that my daughter has been under Shivani’s guidance and direction, I can see how confident she has become. Thanks to these sessions, she grasps the intricacies of challenging situations and concepts. I am also so happy that Shivani is always abreast of the latest trends and topics on which she should guide children. My daughter loves it!

Shivani is a brilliant life coach. She is highly knowledgeable; trauma informed; and deeply empathetic. She strikes the right balance between reflecting on the past, looking to the future and focusing on the present. She draws from a large array of tools to help her clients define and reach their goals. Thank you for all your help, Shivani!
Meg Walker
Shivani was fantastic throughout our sessions, and I felt like we had known each other for years. She is so easy to talk to and be open with, which meant a lot to me. She knew when I was holding something back and was so genuinely interested in my actions. I left the series with a fresh perspective of who I am as a person.

Group Courses
My son had a very nice experience with Journey Through The Body. He is curious by nature and the course helped him learn more about his body. He would come home and teach his baby brother all the interesting things he learned in class. Thank you!
Mallika
The Self Esteem Series was very well thought out. I enjoyed the work that was brought home as well as what was shared via email after each session. My child has definitely enjoyed and looked forward to going to the class every week.

Tyler LOVED Journey Through The Body and told me he was very sad that it was over. He was always so excited to tell me all about what he has learned and thanks to the amazing write-ups after each session, I was able to be a part of it, too. He usually takes a lot of time to connect with new people, but that seemed out of the way with Shivani. He trusted her right away, and that shows how good she is. He is already asking when the next course will be and that he wants to join. Thank you so much for these wonderful mornings for Tyler.

My son remembers the Worry Warrior techniques he learned when he gets upset. He loved attending the course and actually uses what he learned. I am really happy that he got the chance to learn these skills at an early age.

Thank you a lot for this magnificent Emotions Explorer course, Shivani! I can see how you have helped D in many ways. She is more relaxed and is trying to think about things in a different way. She’s able to breathe. When she gets upset, I can see that she can calm down a little. She is so much more secure and happier.
Catalina Gongora
My daughter is so enthusiastic about coming for Emotions Explorer! It is wonderful to see. To me, it means that she has embraced the sessions. She loves Shivani’s energy and message. It is never a struggle to get her up and ready and out of the house for these classes!
Radha
Thanks a million, Shivani. Journey Through The Body was an awesome experience for Z. She loved every minute of it and learned so much during this time. You are a really gifted teacher. Thank you for the lovely experience and the teaching.

Worry Warriors has helped my son to be able to handle any worries more confidently. We talk a lot more and he expresses what worries him. He fully trusted Shivani from the beginning and loved learning about the different techniques to manage his worries. Shivani has been amazing and has a great connection to all kids.
Becky Mujagic
E really enjoyed Journey Through The Body. I can see the difference in her confidence levels. She uses what she learned in class and it’s wonderful to see her speak about it. I love when she says, “Mummy, I have a kind heart and I should get…” It’s comforting to see how she believes in herself now.
Gulnaz Bhaila
I am delighted I sent my child for the Self Esteem course. I could see a marked difference in her in 6 weeks. Shivani is a natural with kids and relates to them 100%. I recommend this course for any child. Shivani is committed to delivering what she promises.
Manisha Jayasinghe
After Emotions Explorer, when my daughter gets overwhelmed by emotions, she seems to recoup much quicker and it is also happening less. It has opened up so many conversations in our home. Shivani has provided a safe space for our daughter to understand her body, her feelings, that we all feel things, and that it is completely normal. It’s been great for encouraging introspection.
Carolina Timms
We wish Worry Warriors lasted longer! The handouts were eyecatching and so cute. This course has had a huge impact on my daughter. Worry management is an essential skill today when kids have to face a gazillion challenges. Shivani’s care, attention, and love for children is obvious. She knows how to handle the complex issues and put each child at ease.

First Moon Circles
The First Moon Circle was fantastically organized. My daughter was taught all about periods, about how important and precious womanhood is. There was an emphasis on doing away with period taboos and the idea that women dirty, impure, or sinful while menstruating. It helped the mothers and daughters see the light through the darkness of so many myths about this natural part of life. The girls were also taught about the importance of hygiene. Since this is a topic not raised enough in society, and even in schools, this program is a very insightful event. As a mother, I treasure the moment I was given, to tell my daughter how inestimable she is to me in my life.
Nirosha Liyanage
Excellent First Moon Circle and first of its kind in my personal experience. I wish every girl would have access to this. I rate it 10/10 on all dimensions that matter:
Superb facilitator Shivani who has a way with kids and is very thoughtful and experienced
Excellent content curated carefully to include science, stories, emotions, and much more
Thoughtful hands-on activities that got the girls comfortable
Exercises that went way beyond periods and puberty and started instilling much needed self-confidence in girls about their bodies, appearance, support system, biases, and breaking glass ceilings.
Vidhya
Attending Shivani’s First Moon Circle with my daughter was a positive experience. We found the space to be safe and welcoming, and her compassionate approach allowed my daughter to discuss sensitive topics related to menstruation and puberty with ease. Shivani’s ability to foster an atmosphere of openness and respect was appreciated, and we both left feeling more informed and empowered.
Azri
My daughter and I really enjoyed being a part of the Circle. It was informative even for me and empowering for both of us. We love that such an intimate and comfortable environment was created for us. Thanks for making this process special for us, Shivani.
Fazeena Rajabdeen
Thank you so much for conducting the First Moon Circle. I’m glad you gave an opportunity for the young ones to discuss/learn about their periods. A lot of kids are not encouraged to discuss these sensitive topics so openly even in this modern day and age. It was an eye opener for them and also quite emotional for us mums. Arya wanted me to personally thank you and also to let you know she had an amazing time!
Pavithra Wijesooriya
Thank you so much for the AWESOME learning you instilled in the girls today. The one hour I spent with you was so interesting, educational, and empowering. Thank you for taking the initiative to teach the young generation to love themselves and be proud of who they are. In this world which spews a lot of negative vibes about being a woman/menstruation, etc., these sessions will drive the message into these young minds and make them stronger and braver girls who are proud of being a woman!
Manisha Jayasinghe
The First Moon Circle with Shivani has been pivotal for my 9 year old daughter, and surprisingly, for me too! This program is unique in nature with age appropriate explanations to kids. This experience with Shivani turned the fearful and scary idea of menstruation into a beautiful and exciting future for my child. Thank you so much, Shivani.
Jyothi Periwal
Yohali had a great time and the knowledge she gained was very important. I am so glad that she was a part of it. Thank you so much for giving us that mother-daughter time.
Elisha
Shivani, I had a chat with Nuha and she explained to me everything that was done during the session. She seems quite confident to handle her first period when it happens. She really enjoyed the session. Once again, thank you.
Rishada Ameen
Thank you for the informative session, Shivani. Dua has benefitted immensely and I’m so pleasantly surprised that she’s not terrified or scared as I thought she would be. That shows how well you have explained the entire process to them. We will definitely be recommending these sessions to others.
Khadija
Dear Shivani, thank you so much for the informative session. It was really great and the girls really enjoyed themselves. Please do let me know about any future sisterhood circles.
Shamika Cooray
Shivani, thank you for the beautiful circle. Apsara was very happy with the entire event and is no longer worried about starting her period.
