Padme’s life has been a profound journey of service and transformation. Raised as a global nomad, she grew up immersed in diverse cultures, attending international schools around the world. Her deep commitment to humanity led her to humanitarian work with the Peace Corps and the State Department, where she dedicated herself to fostering connection and understanding across borders for two decades.

A pivotal moment in her path came during a transformative experience at the Sivananda Ashram in the Bahamas. This awakening ignited a calling within, leading her to the Himalayas where she immersed herself in intensive training in meditation, mantra, and yoga. There, she deepened her spiritual remembrance and passion for sharing these ancient healing practices with others. Padme’s journey then expanded when she merged in sacred union with kirtan musician Girish. Their bond activated a powerful creative force, inspiring Padme to embrace the devotional path of the heart, and further integrate her spiritual practice with her artistic gifts.

Now, Padme offers Healing Arts workshops and retreats, weaving together yoga, chanting, and sacred painting. Her work guides others on a journey of self-discovery, creativity, and inner transformation, while creating Yantras—powerful visual tools for meditation and spiritual awakening.
