Testimonials
“Working with Palak has helped me break down barriers I didn’t even know I had! As someone who has pivoted career paths, I’ve struggled with imposter syndrome and indecisiveness. Through her coaching, she has guided me to unlock my creativity, set a clear path and reach my full potential. She is always encouraging, thoughtful, and intuitively seems to always know exactly what I need to hear in order to keep progressing on my journey. She is a unique persona in this sometimes very serious space, seamlessly weaving her witty sass and humor into our sessions. Palak always stays true to herself and encourages me to do the same.
As part of our sessions, she also introduced me to breathwork. As a first timer, I was unsure what to expect, but Palak made the exercises accessible and gentle for even me as a beginner. At first, I felt some resistance, but her words guided me through and allowed me to fully relax and sink into the experience. Now, I always look forward to attending her practice!”

Palak supported me during one of my most challenging personal life phases. We completed both a breathwork session and three coaching sessions. Though our time together was relatively brief, Palak led each session with the right balance of structure and flexibility, enabling tangible impact every step of the way. She's also inquisitive, relatable, and laughs freely - a true judgment free zone.
My physical well-being improved after our breathwork session because I took away simple, repeatable tools and guidance. I loved feeling more connected to what was happening in my body, not so that I could control it, but so I could work with it. Our coaching sessions were likewise not about driving quick solutions, but about opening up avenues for intrapersonal exploration and longer term wins. My experience was all around unique and refreshing, and Palak has my gratitude!

Palak Patel is a force to be reckoned with in all senses of the phrase. She is a symbol for all of us to remember who we really are in our core truth. She lives her life in an unapologetically authentic and fierce way. She will not settle for anything other than divine truth and common love for all.
Upon meeting Palak, you will feel her strength and grounded root of absolutely not messing around here. She came here for liberation and restitution for her Soul, and she will gladly journey with yours to welcome any intentions of depth, learning and growth. My own soul feels blessed and love for journeying with her in our own special way. Thank you for your truth, honesty and light; it is clear to me you came here to alchemize the darkness with your inner Shakti of healing and ultimate connection to Life.
Many blessings on your ever-giving path.

Working with Palak over the years has been so incredibly helpful. She is so gifted and natural inher approach. We've tackled topics ranging from work stress to family dynamics and intergenerational healing. Through coaching sessions with her, I have come to see situations much more clearly, especially those that I have carried since childhood. She has a great abilityto allow you to feel your feelings but also inspire you to move on with peace. I've known Palak for a long time and have always admired her work ethic. She is someone who pursues things to the fullest, like completing extensive yoga and breathwork certifications around the world, to running several marathons - her enthusiasm is contagious and has pushed me to seek greater fulfillment in my own life. She has very high personal integrity and has made me want to bemore authentic as well. On top of all of this, she is a wonderful listener, who creates a safe and comfortable environment for personal growth. I could not recommend working with her more!

I was very lucky to have found Palak after becoming curious about breathwork. I attended her weekly classes for 10 weeks while also sampling other breathwork facilitators in the area. I found that her style resonated the best with me. Palak’s classes are thoughtfully curated with a meditative theme and music to guide you in your journey. I also attended 3 of her workshop experiences that included breathwork and a variety of other activities. I recommend her highly and look forward to many future classes with her.

What can I say about Palak, I had the experience of being guided through her healing abilities without even knowing it. I went through a life changing transformation after meeting her. She has the ability to guide you with patience and understanding but at the same time, you can’t hide your bullshit from her. Trauma comes front and center but different healing practices and tools allow you to pick what is right for you and your spirit so you can guide yourself through your own healing journey with the proper grace to reveal the beauty that sits in your heart while integrating the shit that sits in your mind. She not only becomes your healing guide but also your best friend.
I continue to be on this journey but without Palak’s light, I would not be where I am, from opening my heart to more love, to building my confidence through new work experiences and creating my own venture and best of all learning to take accountability when needed which will forever be a journey to shine light in.

We hosted Palak on our Baljalla property for her Cosmic Journey to India workshop. Truly an experience to behold as we and the other participants were continually transported through a beautifully led breath work practice, ecstatic dance, and a delicious Indian meal. Palak is a skilled and supportive facilitator and we recommend her whole heartedly!

Before I met Palak, I thought I was doing my inner work but since working together, I’ve realised I was only scratching the surface. Palak intuitively lives and breathes the work she shares. She has inspired me to go deeper into my own healing, and with her guidance, I’ve been able to uncover and release insecurities that were holding me back from being truly seen. She’s helped me break free from the ‘nice girl’ trope and step into a more empowered, authentic, and unapologetic version of myself.
Her breath work sessions have opened up new levels of clarity in areas I’ve felt held back in for a long time, allowing me to move past big blockages in my business and relationships, and see huge transformations.
Thank you Palak for the invitation to step into my most authentic self.

I have had the honor of witnessing numerous practitioners and teachers over the years. Yet, among them, Palak stands out with a luminous distinction. Her embodiment of the wisdom of tantra is nothing short of extraordinary. Palak's profound understanding and seamless transmission of tantric knowledge to others is a testament to her dedication and deep spiritual attunement.
Her devotion to this sacred work is palpable and unwavering. It's evident in the way she approaches each teaching, each meditation, and each moment with reverence and an open heart. Palak masterfully balances the dynamic energies of Shiva and Shakti, bringing harmony and depth to her practice. This balance is not merely intellectual or theoretical; it is lived and breathed in her every action and word.
What impresses me most is her ability to create a safe and nurturing space for her students, where this ancient wisdom can be explored and experienced deeply. Her teachings are infused with clarity, compassion, and an unassailable integrity. Palak's presence alone is a beacon of the sacred balance she teaches — a radiant example of living tantra.
To witness Palak in her element is to see the divine dance of Shiva and Shakti in perfect union. She is not just a teacher; she is a bearer of light, guiding others with grace and wisdom on their own spiritual journeys. I am profoundly grateful to have her as a part of our lineage and wholeheartedly endorse her as a truly exceptional transmitter of tantric knowledge.

After visiting La Ventana for seven years, last year my wife and I decided to attend one of Palak’s Breathwork sessions. Quite simply, I was astounded how deep into the spirit world I was able to journey after about 30 minutes into the hour-long session. At age 73, I am pleased to have found that I have the ability to journey into the mind, with only deep breathing Palak’s gentle coaching and choice of music made for a most pleasant experience. I think we both enjoyed my tongue in cheek comment during integration after a ceremony of ,”Are you sure that this is legal in Mexico?" We tried to attend every one of Palak’s weekly Breathwork sessions. Now that we are away from Baja, we have tried to keep up with breathwork, and look forward to Palak’s virtual sessions and to returning to in person sessions with Palak next winter.

Palak held space with a depth and integrity that provided so much safety for me to go deep. Integrating dance, meditation and breathwork was a beautiful combination that allowed for deeper connection to myself and all those who were in attendance. The food in the end was a major plus. She is a gem of a healer and would highly recommend her experiences.

I’ve had the great pleasure of attending two of Palak’s breathwork sessions and experiencing two of her readings. The breathwork sessions were amazing. Her guidance with her chosen music was perfect, as I was taken on a journey into the mystical. My body is activated during transformational breathwork, as it was both times with her. The energy rippling through my body felt like kundalini and most recently, I was close to a DMT experience under the full moon whilst receiving some valuable insights and downloads. Palak’s readings have been next level – uncanny to the extent that the next day changes started to happen as per her reading. Palak doesn’t “fortune tell” or predict the future, which I value. I steer clear of that. Palak is very connected and has clearly devoted time to honing her energy skills. Thank you, Palak

I first met Palak on a last minute yoga retreat that I booked because I needed a vacation from corporate job. Leading up to this weekend, I had done almost 2 years of intense talk therapy with a phenomenal therapist, and yet I was still feeling frazzled, anxious, and drained from my job and past traumas. Growing up, I was always the over achiever, yet ny endless accompaniments have always been as a coping mechanisms for trauma. If you look at my resume, you will see endless impressive accolades. D1 athlete, All Conference, Dean's List, top modeling agency contract, on and on. But all those accomplishments were really just a coping mechanisms.
The process of shadow work and tantra allowed me to develop an inner home and a way to connect with my future self provided an immediate sense of relief. Palak took me through deep inner work which has proven to be one of the most life altering and spiritual experiences of my life and has provided me finally with immense peace.
