Testimonials
“Pavitra was my coach for a year-long Weight-Loss Diary column for Shape Magazine. Her help and guidance were invaluable tools that helped me reach not only my weight loss goal, but other goals I’d set for myself, too. Her enthusiasm and creative approaches to goal setting helped me learn to see myself and my dreams in a new way. What I appreciated most about Pavitra, however, was the intuitiveness that allowed her to see just what type of support I needed on a week-to-week basis — sometimes someone to listen as I worked through a challenge, sometimes someone to help me see a challenge in a different way and sometimes, just a good old-fashioned kick in the pants. Though it’s not always easy to make big changes, working with Pavitra was a terrific experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to reach for a goal or a dream.”

“They say when the student is ready the teacher will come. When I was ready, Pavitra was there. I came to her because I wanted to lose weight and in spite of work with a good nutritionist, I kept sabotaging the effort. Pavitra is a gifted coach with an extraordinary ability to combine her keen intuition with the tools of coaching. As a healer myself, I know that half the battle with anything that challenges us in life, is removing the unconscious blockings. Pavitra’s excellent listening leads her into the unconscious realm where she, in the gentlest way, can help her clients see where the blocks are. She is present and caring as she helps you process your own amazing insights, and then after your enlightenment, she will help you find the path forward to reach your goal. Because she helped me uncover lifelong patterns of limitation and excess, she was an incredible blessing to my whole life. It was about a lot more than losing weight!”

“I have recently had the pleasure of working with Pavitra Ciavardone. I can say with confidence; it was time well spent. I have always been a “soul searcher” of sorts. There I was, midlife, life not panning out the way that I had hoped, but I refused to be bitter-I absolutely KNEW there is a better way than therapy and/or medication. I’m not bashing those avenues-they have worked for me at various points in my life. Alas, a friend recommended a Life Coach & it turned out to be the missing link…I wear many hats (don’t we all?)… But the time spent with Pavitra was my time. The techniques & tools I have learned under Pavitra’s coaching have been instrumental in having what I would call my own epiphany. She brought out what I knew was already there & helped me channel that energy into positive energies & outputs. It is difficult to change old patterns and beliefs. With Pavitra’s help, I can & I do. I have learned that it is possible to change old, negative destructive habits and actually, it is exactly that kind of awareness we need for our growth. I am celebrating & honoring the person I am & the journey that lies ahead…”

“I am, by nature, a creature of disorganization and somewhat undisciplined habit. Pavitra guided me towards a path of steps that have taught me how to change my negative thinking into positive. While my journey has not been overnight, the tools I’ve acquired during my ‘work in progress’ have proven positive and continue to help promote my self-growth and fulfillment. Pavitra gives 100% to her clients and always nourishes, empowers, motivates, and inspires.”

“I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to write a testimonial about the coaching work of Pavitra Ciavardone. I have been a coaching client of Pavitra’s for the past several months. I originally approached our sessions with a slight lack of trust in the process….not really believing that much would come from it. Well, was I proven wrong! From the very first session I was blown away by the profound breakthroughs that I experienced. Pavitra has a way of cutting through all the extraneous mind stuff that’s going on, and really helps me get right down to the core issue at hand. Even when I digress, she skillfully brings me back to the heart of what I need to look at in my life. And this amazing process continues to take place during every session. I really feel that Pavitra has been given a gift, and I’m so grateful that she is doing this work. I’ve never felt any judgment coming from her during our sessions, especially when discussing the things which I think are really crazy about myself. And the most amazing thing is that I’ve seen concrete change in myself. For the first time in my life, I am able to access my own inner strength and knowing, and stand up to other people. There is no price that you can put on that, and I am so extremely grateful to Pavitra for helping guide me to that place. Thank you, thank you, thank you Pavitra!”

“What I love about Pavitra is her ability to cut through the tough fibers of all the stories I try to weave around myself to convince myself and others as to how and why “I can’t” do all the things I’ve always dreamed of doing in my life…Together we try on new possibilities for my life — new, clearer, richer possibilities that point me in the direction of my dreams. I’m always amazed, time after time, in every session with Pavitra, how I always come out in the end with an ‘A-Ha!’ moment. Pavitra offers such love and integrity to the coaching process, along with clear dialogue, amazingly keen insight, and sound, professional direction. And as all great coaches do, Pavitra inspires, she challenges, and she ‘cuts to the chase.’ Most of all she invites me to remember who I am, and why I am here. She invites me to remember my dreams and reminds me that I actually have a choice in making my dreams come true. She invites me to shrug off that old “I can’t” cloak that weighs me down and keeps me on a path of no possibility. Hello to the world of I CAN! Thanks, Coach!”
