“I Came To Talya Because I Felt Ready To Address The Anxiety I Was Experiencing On And Off For Many Years. Through A Process Of Guided Visualization Talya Led Me To A Place Within Myself Where I Saw What I Was Holding On To And How I Was Trying To Control Certain Situations That Ended Up Causing A Lot Of Stress And Grief.

Talya Gently Supported Me In The Most Loving And Honest Way Through Different Experiences Of Releasing And Becoming Deeply Responsible For Meeting My Own Needs. I No Longer Felt Like A Victim To Outside Circumstances But Rather Gained A Renewed Sense Of Worth, Calm And Joy. During The Process I Felt Talya’s Unconditional Acceptance And Support As She Patiently And Attentively Listened And Guided Me, I Became So Much More Aware And Empowered To Listen To My Own Inner Voice.

At The End Of Each Session I Felt Lighter And Lighter. By The 5th Session I Had Stopped Biting My Fingernails And Felt Empowered And Free. I’m So Happy I Found The Courage To Look Under The Hood And Grateful For The Work I Did.”

“I Am So Thankful For The Practice Of QiGong, Especially Under The Gentle Guidance And Deep Wisdom Of Talya.

QiGong Has Helped Me Recognize The Light Inside Of Myself And Has Allowed Me To Spend More Time Understanding My Body, My Breath And My Mind. As Someone Who Usually Lives A Fast-Paced Life, Practicing QiGong Gives Me Time To Truly Slow Down And Be With Myself. Since Beginning My Practice Over A Year Ago, I Have Learned More About My Body And How Deeply We Are Connected To Nature. I Have Discovered Deeper Inner Peace And A Deeper Love For Myself And My Body.

Talya Leads With Gentleness And Understanding. In Each Practice, She Guides Her Students To Higher Levels Of Knowledge And Deeper Levels Of Mindfulness.”

“My Mom Has Been Here For A Week Now. And For The First Time, I’m Actually Able To Enjoy Her Visit. Our Sessions Helped Me Reconnect With My Younger Self Who Has Been Down And Lonely For So Long. They Helped Me Process The Grief And Clear Space For Love And Tender Feelings. I Now Know That My Mother Loves Me And I Want To Cry Each Time I Let That Belief Sink In A Little More. She’s Been Really Caring For Us As Much As She Can. She Still Says Things That Irritate Me Sometimes But I’m Able To Process Them Differently And Tell Her I’m Mad At Her Sometimes But That I Always Love Her. I’m Proud Of Myself To Be Able To Say This And Move On To Enjoy My Time With Her. I Think Reconnecting With My Family And Being Able To Share The Ups And Downs And Be Real With Them Has Been So Important For My Own Healing. I’m Well On My Way.”
