A Thread in the Great Weaving

We are profoundly interconnected; with one another, with the Earth, the plants, the waters, the stars, and this whole sentient existence.

The way we live, speak, and love ripples outward into all of life. Every choice, every offering, every act of healing and presence matters.

This understanding is at the heart of my life and work.

Meeting at the Threshold

Maybe you’ve always felt life a little more deeply than those around you, or sensed that your inner world carries a deeper wisdom asking to be heard.

Perhaps you’re being called to tend an inner unraveling that few people in your life can truly understand, or you’re navigating a spiritual threshold, or resurfacing trauma, that asks you to go farther into the depths of your being than you’ve ever gone before.

Maybe you’re someone who feels the pull of authenticity, even when it’s uncomfortable… someone who deeply values what is honest and real.

If so, there’s a good chance our life paths may resonate with one another…

Hi,

I’m Madhava

A healer, mentor and transformative coach — someone who walks with those who are navigating the deep, tender, and often initiatory terrain of trauma, inner awakening, and spiritual transformation.

My work is rooted in deep listening, presence, and the kind of care that honors both your pain and your longing for truth. I’m here to tend the places where your humanity and your spirituality meet — the thresholds where old wounds soften, clarity returns, and your own inner wisdom begins to speak again.

Earth Heart was born of this calling: to offer a sacred space where your experiences are not minimized, pathologized, or rushed, but recognized as part of a meaningful journey — a journey toward wholeness, authenticity, and the radiance of your true nature.

The journey behind the work

My Story

And my journey has not been one of perfection or clarity, but of falling and rising, of broken faith and unexpected grace. My mistakes and heartbreaks have been as much my teachers as silence and prayer. They have humbled me and keep bringing me again and again into a truer honesty with myself, my heart, and my soul before God.

To the ones who come my way, I am a friend and fellow traveler. To some I am an elder sister, offering guidance and support. To others I am a younger sister, blessed to receive wisdom and shelter. Opening my hands to give and receive, and to honor the sacred friendship that is at the heart of real healing.

This is my offering and my medicine, and also a continuation of what has most deeply nurtured me on my own journey.

In infinite gratitude for the miracle and mystery of life and being, and to the Supreme Beloved whose love sustains and carries us all,

Madhava

When I was nineteen, after a long period of deep sadness and lack of meaning in an outwardly successful life, I experienced a divine intervention that changed everything. It led me to Mother Ayahuasca, who opened my heart to the tender nature of existence and awakened in me a remembrance of true life, of divine love. Since then, my sincere – and often humanly messy – striving has been to make my life a dedication and offering to that love.

For ten years I lived, learned, and served at the Sinchi Runa Institute, a plant medicine healing center in the Peruvian Amazon. The first three years I spent mostly in silence and solitude, in deep plant dietas without contact with the outside world. During that time, I listened to Mother Ayahuasca, the forest, the elements, the spirits of the plants, and our Earth Mother. I ventured through realms of light and descended into shadow worlds within me, to heal what had been repressed and forgotten. Gradually, I began accompanying others as a healer and facilitator in medicine circles and kambo ceremonies, as well as through therapeutic spiritual companionship.

Along the way, I became certified as a Transformative Coach through the Satvatove Institute, and as a Hatha Yoga and Meditation teacher through Hridaya Yoga. I also immersed myself in the mysticism and teachings of saints and sages from many traditions, entering dark rooms, long periods of meditation, and inner contemplation – drawn by a deep inner longing. That search eventually brought me home to Sanātana Dharma, in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, where I found shelter of divine love – the guiding light of my heart and soul.

I’m also a mother, and the presence of my son in my life has been among my deepest blessings, profoundly shaping my heart and path.
