I got my thyroid profile done along with other blood tests as a routine check-up, which I do every six months, and found that my TSH was high (hypothyroidism). I contacted Kalyani, and she advised pranayama. I did six sessions with her online before I started doing them on my own. After three months, when I checked my TSH levels again, there was a drastic drop from 6.5 to 3.9. I was pleasantly surprised. She not only knows what needs to be done, but everything she does has such a high level of commitment and empathy that it has always worked for me.

"I had reached out to Kalyani after typical therapy didn’t work out for me. The most unique thing I learnt through this program was how my childhood experiences have shaped me as a human being. It brought a lot of awareness and self-realisation to my current actions, multiple ah-ha moments (when the patterns repeated) and helped me better evaluate my emotions. Likewise, the anti-norms were good exercises to break some of the unhealthy behaviors and provided an alternate perspective to current situations which has helped reduce anxiety / stress I have been having lately. The sessions did not feel rushed, each session had a goal, and Kalyani took a genuine interest in helping me understand the 'Why' behind my burnout and 'How' I can handle it better next time. Kalyani’s Swadhyay program is a great tool to dive deeper into your inner self and address any mental challenges you may be facing"

I would recommend her programs as it helps build the foundation for understanding anything related to learning about the self. If one already has the knowledge, it helps to give a direction and clarity as a revision to people in the journey. The approach and meditations have personally helped me grow as a person overall. Thank you for this opportunity :)

For me it was simply that whenever I have any questions, i will just re-read some of her newsletter/s and I will get most of my answers. Really recommend whether you are practicing anything or not; just try to go through it

Before meeting Kalyani, I thought yoga was solely about asanas (poses). However, after a few sessions with her and experiencing her personalised guidance, my eyes were opened to the true essence of yoga. I now understand that yoga is a holistic way of life, encompassing not just asanas and exercises, but also diet, meditation, and philosophy.

In a world filled with self-anointed life coaches and therapists, discovering her work was an unexpected yet perfectly timed stroke of luck. Kalyani's approach is a unique blend of candor and precision, shedding light on critical areas that many people fail to explore over their entire lifetimes. Her guidance helps uncover and navigate these matters in a way that can be truly transformative. Kalyani's methodology is both novel and effective, and I highly recommend experiencing it firsthand to fully appreciate the profound difference it can make.

If I were to recommend Santim, it would purely be for who Kalyani is as a person. Her authenticity and earnestness shines through. Also, Kalyani's multidisciplinary past experiences put a certain flavour and fortitude in her methods. I really appreciate that.

I would highly recommend her programs as Kalyani is hundred percent committed to the sessions with such integrity and empathy that you feel completely comfortable and enthused for it.

Honestly, when it comes to coaching, counselling or mentorship, the most important thing for me is how well we get along. Even if someone is a great coach, if we don't click personally, it's not going to work out. With Kalyani, I feel a connection that I haven't felt with other coaches.I opted for Santim's programs because they offer a unique approach. They don't try to fit therapy into a rigid system, and most importantly, they don't aim to mold people to fit societal expectations.

Manan • USA
I would highly recommend Kalyani as the process really helped me clear my mind, develop self confidence and figure my priorities and put myself and my happiness in focus. The pace, the methodology and analysis were spot on.
This client participated in our Swadhyay (Self-Inquiry) Program.
The best part that distinguishes this program from others is the concept of Anti-Norms. There is a lot of awareness and breakthroughs that come as part of discussions, and that itself starts making you feel better. But then, how to break the patterns is what propels you forward and helps navigate further. It was unbelievable how Kalyani was able to connect the dots in the discussions and provide so many insights from my past and how it was impacting my behaviors today. I am happy and grateful that I did this program with her and would strongly recommend trying this out. Don't wait for triggers or anxiety to kick in; it's not a bad idea anyway to explore yourself. :)

I decided to take steps towards my mental health when I started getting anxiety attacks and had literally lost interest in anything. I couldn’t believe that even after being a yoga practitioner for a long time now, this was happening to me. Spoke to counsellors, read self help books, went on sleeping pills, tried different meditation techniques online. All of this could give me temporary relief but I would end up sleeping disturbed and a lot of whys. I had known Kalyani but not been in touch and when I saw her posts over LinkedIn, I was like - why not try speaking to her as well. First session and I knew that I was finally with someone who was really listening to me. There was an immediate realisation that what I was thinking as solved were just ‘suppressed feelings’ which were coming back to me. Unlike others, there was not a list of to dos that came but a concern to get to the root cause of my all my fears and anxieties and then suggest the path accordingly. Within no time, there was a trust that was built and I could free speak to get to the root of about everything. Every session gave me a relief that I was one step closer to the peace that I have been searching for. With the deep knowledge that she has, she gave me a direction and guidance to understand myself more and bring the awareness within me to search the answers to the WHYs. Thankfully there was not a pre-defined prescription but a more personalised support to the problems that I had been dealing with. I understand that it’s a long and continuous journey to be on the spiritual path and I am glad that I have someone like Kalyani by side to guide me.

1. Love the fact that you are able to combine astrology with the new age. You are able to resonate with the problems a modern tech professional faces/could face.
2. You are well prepared for the consultation which means we can get started right from the start and there is a personal touch in how you deliver the consultation.
3. You make it easier to digest some tough news as well and not scare the person not of their minds.

[First consultation] Overall, I am very glad with the initial meeting and follow-up. I just wish I had been prepared for a lot of information and had planned an outline of what to discuss in each couple of minutes. Kalyani was always prepared with an outline, which made her excellent in helping us understand these complex topics about astrology and their impact. I learned a lot from her, and I would say there is much more to learn. It is worthwhile.
[Follow up consultation] I believe it's a good opportunity to meet and speak with Kalyani. I say this because I learned a lot, especially as someone who is confused about their path in life and mindset, as well as someone who is keen to learn about astrology and how it can guide us in life. Kalyani is a great person in the sense that she is straightforward and helpful in guiding the people who come to her. The first consultation felt hectic because of the information I was receiving, but she was careful to explain the essential aspects of the transits and all while also mentioning the overall big picture of how to go about it for the current year. I believe this is why she is a wonderful person to discuss matters where you feel confused or unsure about what is going on. She can help bring some clarity, which can help you reroute your mind to see why things are happening the way they are and how you can manage yourself to do the best you can in the current time period. Thank you, Kalyani, for being a great mentor in terms of astrological learning. You're inspiring many, and I hope you keep doing more amazing work for many.

Kalyani did an incredible job tapping into the domains where I was feeling lost. She was kind enough not only to share the predictive description but also to explain exactly what in the chart led her to the conclusion, going beyond what I asked. Her modern take on reading charts is what makes her peculiar. I'm happy about the discussion and hopeful about the future :)

Kalyani is truly unique and exceptional. She focuses on how a person feels through a journey and how they can adapt themselves and learn about themselves to make the most out of life situations. She is extremely diligent and detailed in her approach, and shows one the larger picture of life and what is important. I really liked learning about myself from Kalyani, she is quite accurate, honest and receptive. I'd strongly recommend her and have had a great experience :)

Thank you for being patient with me and answering to all my questions in a clear manner. Interesting sessions as it was my first time taking an astrology consultation with someone more young in this space. Therefore, it was easier to speak about issues openly & express freely w/o any judgment. Thanks again Kalyani and I wish you the best on this journey.

“I had a brief session with Kalyani regarding my birth chart, at a point when I was changing my career. While at that point I had already taken certain key decisions, Kalyani’s pointers helped me gain more confidence on the new path that I had chosen. She answered some of my pressing questions regarding why am I being in a certain way or choosing certain places, people over others. She also helped explain some of my uncanny dreams as per my positions. I had later also approached her for career advice for a friend of mine. In her case too without knowing anything about her, she was able to accurately assess my friend’s personality and the current challenges that she’s facing. I recommend Kalyani’s consultation to anyone who’s looking for a holistic, and logical reading of their birth charts.”

Astrology was invented thousands of years ago.The world we live in, the jobs we do, the conditions we live in, everything has changed. This is where comes in the need for 'interpretation of astrology in the modern context', which i believe is Kalyani's forte.
I had consulted several astrologers before reaching out to Kalyani, but they were unable to provide me with answers because they were unable to understand my issues. There was always a disconnect. I reached out to Kalyani over Linkedin(as ive been following her on LinkedIn over several years, and had seen her videos on astrology). She was quick to understand my problems and provide me with answers. Through my personal experience, i can also say that she is a good human being. She has my strongest recommendation if you re looking to get some answers about your life using astrology.

I would recommend you to anyone my age or younger. Mainly cos your approach is very contemporary - which anyone can relate. Besides, you don't go into remedies like stones and puja. Its pure reading and explanation of what the charts have in for someone.

I think Kalyani has a gift for this work. Her intuition is very sharp and she combines knowledge, study and intuition in her readings which is extremely powerful. Understanding health and well-being through inherent tendencies and life experiences was very revealing in addressing my issues of health and overall life choices. I deeply respect her work and would recommend it highly.

I was blown away by Kalyani s readings...not only were they insightful but also her complete analysis of the dashas and what they bring to you in all aspects of life was very useful. I was going through a personal crisis in terms of my marriage and her reading helped me in taking a final call on how I wanted to move forward.

Loved the structure in which the session was conducted. I got concrete action pointers from Kalyani. She answered my two queries to a deeper level in a pragmatic manner. I particularly liked the fact that she didn’t ask me to perform any irrational rites or activities to solve for my problems; instead she gave me steps on how I can work on myself.

The best thing about Kalyani is the effort she puts in reading the birth chart and really caring about explaining it in a very simple manner. She follows a really good pattern during the session, deeply analyzing the chart, understanding the journey and providing suggestions with utmost sincerity. I'm feeling much more confident and have more clarity about myself post the session.
