Reflections from some of our graduates in the US, in Mexico, in Singapore, Malaysia and India of the Sexual Trauma Healer’s Course:

“Sacred Resilience reinforced the power of communal spaces to hold our curiosity, creativity, and complexities. It showed me that repair is possible—in ways that honour our boundaries and our expansiveness.”
Simran N Chandnani, Intimacy Coach

“This isn’t just professional training, it’s a personal reclamation. I walked away with new tools, yes, but also with a deeper sense of belonging in my own body.”
Tulsi Mehrotra Menon, Somatic Healer & Anthropologist

“The R&R course deepened my understanding of the body not only as a vessel that holds trauma, but also as a powerful site for healing and reconnection. It has enriched my ability to integrate somatic approaches into my work, creating a space where clients can gently reconnect with their own resilience.”
Kanupriya Mody, Art Therapist

“It’s rare to find a training that honours both complexity and tenderness. This course met me exactly where I was, and expanded my capacity to work with intimacy, safety, and pleasure in the therapy room.”
Titir Dewan, Psychotherapist

Designed and Taught By Neha Bhat, ABT, ATR-P

“Emotional energy when channeled positively is creative power.

Every day, from my therapy desk, I see that sexuality has been repressed in the larger Indian context.

Part of my life’s work is to help people normalize their sexual and creative expression in relation to their personal power, to heal from sexual shame and expand their understanding of sexual trauma.“
