ABOUT KISHORI

I am a beauty hunter, inspired by and passionate about nourishing the senses with beauty and deliciousness. And, my superpower is to find clarity in the chaos.

Since I was a young child, I have always loved to organize space, clear space, and set space in ways that feels nurturing. My organizing experience began as soon as I was tall enough to reach all of the drawers and closets in my childhood home. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, I was already creating places to rest and breathe and feel held.

More recently, I have had the honor to support people navigating the many liminal spaces of transformation and change: from retirement to new career paths, from relocations to new chapters in life and the end of life, I provide the loving support needed when navigating the complexities of these transitions.

THE JOURNEY

The foundation of my work is mindful presence. Setting and holding healing space is something that I love to do. Part of the process is creating simplicity and beauty, especially amid chaos. My desire is to help people foster a sense of relief and release, and to create that feeling you experience when your space is organized in a way that there is room to breathe and relax. My mindfulness journey began in 1992, when I found myself immersed in the beauty and deliciousness of Italy. Since then, a curiosity for holistic wellness infuses all areas of my life. The healing tools that serve as my pillars are yoga asana, meditation and food. A love of food is in my DNA, and I have been lucky to  learn with many master home chefs. Along the way, I practiced, studied and completed certifications in different forms of yoga, meditation and mindfulness, including: A.I.T., Bikram, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha and Adaptive Yoga. In 2011, I was initiated into the Himalayan tradition of meditation, and in 2016 I received my Master’s degree in Holistic Health. I have created and led mindful leadership trainings and workshops for adults and young humans. Being a Reiki level 1 practitioner and a certified death doula has also helped me navigate the depths of what it means to be human. This journey continues to teach me that change begins with myself. I cannot change other people, but I can change myself and be an example of positive transformation. My hope is to inspire others along the way.
