“Healing of the physical without the change in the mental and spiritual aspects brings little real help to the individual in the end. How true, because the mind and the body imprint and imitate each other. What we think, we become. What we become, we think. It's an insidious process that can predispose us to illness or it can lead us to health.”

~ Edgar Cayce

The Story Behind the Name

What is Svasthya?

Svasthya is one of the Sanksrit words for health and well-being. In Sanskrit, which is the language of the ancient sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda, words are literally charged with meaning. The word Svasthya is made up of two smaller root words:

Sva: the True Self

Stha: etablished, steady, and solid

In this tradition, health and well-being are understood as an active process as well as a state of being. Well-being is qualified by the experience of being firmly established, steady, and solid within the True Self, no matter what the external conditions. The True Self is the part of an individual that is deeply connected to its innermost nature and highest values.

Well-being is a state of integrity and harmonious relationship with the True Self.

Most people tend to take health and wellness for granted until a state of imbalance or inner-conflict arises. The need to pay attention, listen, and course-correct becomes evident in order to live a fulfilling life, in harmonious relationship with nature - one’s own inner nature as well as the nature of the outer world.

ABOUT REENA

My strengths-based perspective will mirror back to you your own uniqueness and potential, and will empower you to make choices that are aligned with your highest values. I counsel through compassion and inquiry to help clients understand themselves and discover their unique gifts, purpose, and solutions.

My specialty is effective communication and supporting people through life’s transitions. I offer clients an experience of being deeply seen and heard and reflect back a unique perspective that may have not been considered before. My approach is equal parts no-nonsense and compassionate, and based strongly in asking the most useful questions together.

I enjoy having a smaller practice in order to provide high-quality, individualized care to meet the unique needs of each client

“After seeing Reena for a full month now I feel so blessed to have found her. With the ups and downs I’ve been through the past month her support and thoughts have been such a gift. She has a very cozy and welcoming office that makes you feel right at home. When I started seeing Reena, I was looking for a more holistic and spiritual approach to life. That’s exactly what I got in return. She is so smart, thoughtful and honest. As a male I feel it’s hard to release feelings and thoughts. Reena has a nice gentle environment with positive energy that makes opening up a lot easier. I can’t wait to return!”

~Timothy

“Perhaps real wisdom lies in not seeking answers at all. After all these years I have begun to wonder if the secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.

~ Rachel Naomi Remen
