Padme dedicates herself to the creative flow in the healing arts of painting, yoga, meditation, travel, and beyond. Her life has been a profound journey of transformation. Raised as a global nomad, she grew up immersed in diverse cultures, attending international schools around the world. Her commitment to service led her to humanitarian work with the Peace Corps and the U.S. Department of State, 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 more intensive training in meditation, mantra, and yoga. There, she deepened her spiritual remembrance and passion for sharing these ancient healing practices with others, and received her spiritual name “in the lotus.” Padme’s journey then expanded when she merged in sacred union with kirtan musician Girish. Their bond activated a powerful creative force through the devotional path of the heart, inspiring Padme to integrate her spiritual practice with her artistic gifts. They have shared her yantras together with his mantras at various yoga studios and events nationwide.
Padme offers healing arts workshops and retreats combining yoga, chanting, and sacred painting. Her work guides others on a journey of inner transformation, while creating powerful visual arts used for meditation and spiritual awakening.
