PADMINI HEALING ARTS

 
 

Welcome to Padmini Healing Arts

My name is Leela Kalyani

As a ritualist, bodyworker and doula, it is my privilege and passion to offer nourishing and soulful care for the body, heart and spirit.

Whether my clients are at a big threshold - of birth, of life stage transition, or of loss, and might be needing support and holding, or for those whose bodies, hearts and wombs simply need some gentle nurturing and a space to unwind - my work intends to meet you right where you’re at, and offer the nourishment and tending you are needing.

As a certified bodywork therapist of Craniosacral, Mayan Massage, Fertility Massage and Holistic Pelvic Care I love to weave modalities, to offer you a treatment that is attuned, resourcing and bespoke.

I am also a Guardian of Birth, a Postpartum Care Provider and Grief Tender, and my work is often centred around physiologic rites of passage around birth, death and soul initiation.

With a variety of studies in healing modalities including Visionary Craniosacral, Internal Tracking with Purdie Woods, Francis Weller’s Grief Ritual Work, Death Doula work as well as certifications in Innate Traditions Postpartum Care, Doula Accreditations from Celebration of Birth and a graduate of Nourishing Tides Institute of Craniosacral; I am an eternal student and my work’s prayer is to tend to the hearts and souls of my community.

For the last seven years, I have had a practice devoted to the healing arts, both on my own journey of healing and supporting others through bodywork, birthwork, postnatal care, and through thresholds of grief and loss.

My work is devoted to creating safe, honest, integral and sacred spaces for my clients to unfold and unfurl through ritual, touch and tending to the nervous system with gentleness.

The work I offer is an invitation of homecoming … so we may return home to our true nature. So we may remember we do not walk alone - that we can attune to deep wells of ancestral wisdom, bone wisdom, earth wisdom that reside deep in our bodies.

I am devoted to supporting my clients to feel present, safe and soft in their bodies, connected to their essence so they may feel resourced to actively participate in service to the greater web of life, for the welfare of all beings.

Whilst in the past few years I have shared workshops, online sessions and courses and more, I am currently only offering in person sessions in the form of bodywork, ritual, birth support work and in-home postpartum care here in my new home in Victoria- whilst also sharing occasional sessions in Sydney and Byron.

If working with me whether in a one-to-one bodywork ritual or in my services for pre and post-natal care or birth support, please be in touch and together we can co-create something of beauty.

I am extremely passionate in addressing the issues of privilege that can prevent healing work from being accessible.

Please reach out regarding my sliding scale and scholarships for BIPOC bodies.
