About

Hello, I’m Veena

Counselor, educator, Reiki Master and teacher, and Akashic Records practitioner.

My path has wandered through many landscapes, from the rich traditions of my Hindu upbringing in India to a busy working life in America. Through all of it, one thing stayed the same: a pull towards helping people heal and grow.

As a young woman I was drawn to psychology and spirituality, and I read everything I could find. Walking alongside friends and family through hard times, I found I had a gift for listening with compassion. That led me to a master’s degree in counseling and a long, fulfilling career as a school counselor and assistant principal. Watching students face their struggles and move towards their dreams gave me immense joy.

After I retired, I turned more deeply to Reiki and the Akashic Records while moving through my own losses. These practices helped me release old patterns, see my life from a gentler perspective, and find my way back to self-love.

Today I share what helped me. I offer one-on-one sessions online, and a small-group course called Coming Home to Be Yourself. Whether you are carrying a relationship that hurts, everyday heaviness, or a feeling of being stuck, I believe in the strength and wisdom already inside you.

I believe every soul already knows its way home. My work is not to give you answers, but to help you remember what you already know.

A note on care

My sessions and courses offer learning and gentle practices for wellbeing. They are not medical or psychological care and do not replace it. I am not a licensed physician, I am not licensed by the State of California as a healing arts practitioner, and I do not offer medical or health advice.
