"Aarti travels through realms and invites you along for the ride. Collaborating with Aarti from Chicago, to Mexico City, to sacred waterfalls, and ritual fires, I always encountered a fierce kindness and openness to learning without end. With laughter, lifeforce, and trust, Aarti is a singular healing presence, committed to justice and magic."

“In my BodySpirit it feels like Aarti is channeling across time and space to actualize her current practice, She seems to work alongside energies that include all life and all dimensions in concert with one another.
Engaging with Aarti circles me back to my own understanding, challenge, and purpose and the liberation we can all embody therein. I emerge from our shared experiences with wonder, joy and peace.”
-Karen Hatch, Interplay
"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."

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.
