“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 Interactive Guided Imagery 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 me 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.

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 and follow my own inner voice. “

“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. She creates a safe space for students to ask questions and share experiences. I believe Talya is passionate about the benefits of QiGong and she truly has a gift for teaching and sharing the practice.”

“I was having pain in my chest for several years but after many check ups and doctors appointments nothing could be found. During our sessions I reconnected with my younger self who has been down and lonely for so long. The sessions helped me process the grief and clear space for love and tender feelings. After 5 sessions the pain was gone. Now-My Mom has been here for a week now. and for the first time, I’m actually able to enjoy her visit. “

“Qigong with Talya is SO nourishing.  I’ve been taking her weekly class for over a year and continue to learn new practices and deepen practices we’ve done in the past.  Her class challenges me to slow down and find a deeper sense of calm in the movements, something that carries over into my everyday life.  Talya is a wonderful facilitator, full of knowledge, gentleness and quiet reverence for life and the practice of qi gong.  Tuesdays with Talya is the way to start the day!"

“At the end of each session I felt lighter and lighter. By the 5th session I had stopped biting my fingernails ( a habit I had for 40 years) and felt empowered and free. I’m so happy I found the courage to look under the hood and so grateful for the work I did.”
