“ What I appreciated most about Damodar was his friendliness and genuine care. I was looking for more balanced ways to approach work, and quickly found that I had a lot of unconscious motives driving me. Damodar asked great questions that deepened my thinking about seemingly mundane things. I learned to be less critical of myself, stop pushing to extremes, and instead be productive - while also taking needed rest. ”

“ Before I started meeting weekly with Damodar, I was overwhelmed with so many things I have to juggle in my life. I was feeling resentful, burnt out, and struggling with some habits that weigh down on my conscience. Damodar helped me to find the places in me that were in need of healing. Getting this weight off my chest has been a breakthrough in regards to anger management and overcoming my bad habits. I've learned how to approach growth in a more balanced and wholistic way. This coaching experience has been more effective than seeing a psychiatrist, and far more affordable. ”

“ Damodar’s coaching helped me identify ways I was holding myself back. His guidance made a challenging transition a lot less difficult. He went above and beyond to make himself available in a personal way. ”

“ Damodar has been an excellent guide into my inner life of rejuvenation and self-improvement. He facilitated the understanding that I needed to begin profound changes in my life. ”

“ Damodar helped me see parts of myself that I wasn’t allowing myself access to. When I first started taking his help, I was imposing a value system on myself that didn’t actually reflect my innermost self and desires. I was really just absorbing the value systems of other people out of fear of rejection or conflict, while half-heartedly passing them off as my own. With his kind and steady help, I began to discover my own voice - and a deep, genuine self-confidence. ”

“ Damodar is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. His experience and insight allow him a unique ability to guide his clients into their hearts to connect to the deepest clarity. ”

“ For many years I had an addiction. I felt so ashamed that I went out of my way to keep it a secret, even while seeking help. I’ve actually done coaching with Damodar for over five years now, and we’ve written down my whole life story together. I began to realize that my addiction makes perfect sense given my rough circumstances and sensitive nature. I also began to see my way out of it and actually reached over one year of complete sobriety. I’ve become more assertive and self-satisfied in my dealings with others. I’ve learned how to accept my feelings and take greater responsibility. The experience of having Damodar get to know me so personally, and still be warm and accepting, has been the opposite of shame. He’s a great guy. ”

“ I’ve had moments where I was afraid of losing myself. I couldn’t believe where I’d been and what I’d done. My inner child and personality, the voice of my conscience that I had known all my life was feeling dim, and I realized how scary the world can be. My conversations with Damodar were an important part of stepping into my power, and putting these insights to practice. Having this space to talk openly helped me get in touch with a deeper place in myself, and solidify it in how I live my life. I was able to bypass some serious temptations, and now I’m experiencing a level of stability and fulfillment that I’ve never reached in my whole life. It’s still challenging to maintain, but everything is more simple now. ”

“ I appreciated Damodar’s non-judgmental demeanor, but at the same time, his ability to help me recognize harmful patterns in my thinking and behavior. The conversations, structured journaling, and role-playing all helped me to better understand my wife’s feelings, and communicate my own. We learned to navigate conflict in a way where our relationship actually becomes deeper. ”

“ For years I had journaled on and off, always with the intention to make it a daily habit, but was never able to maintain the practice. Damodar’s habit tracker and stimulating journal prompts helped me rediscover my love for journaling and it’s been a consistent daily habit for me ever since. I appreciated the insights Damodar offered, and especially the way in which he offered them. Rather than just telling me how to improve, he helped guide my introspections in a way that I was able to see the deeper causes of negative habits and understand why I developed them as coping strategies, as well as the valid need I was trying to meet, and how I could meet that need in healthier ways. In this way, he showed me how transforming habits is not as much a process of self-neglect and restraint, but rather self-care. In working with Damodar, I was also able to see subtle connections between different tendencies in my life that were previously unnoticed. This was highly empowering and motivating to know that addressing and working on the root of one problem would enhance multiple aspects of my life; and my experience since then has confirmed this to be true. He is extremely insightful, relatable, non-judgmental, comforting, but also challenging when I need that. It's clear that Damodar is integral in practicing and living what he teaches. ”

“ I'm a student of Coach Damodar's, and have been for about six months now. I appreciate the empathy and intelligence that he brings to his program. He helped me identify my negative tendencies. He also helped me to inspire a positive vision for myself and the future. In finding the negative tendencies, I was able to accept them, and view myself with some empathy and forgiveness. Inspiring that positive vision, I was able to give my life a lot more meaning. And what's really cool is now I can accept positive feedback and not view myself with such contempt that I don't let anything nice in. I really think that Coach Damodar's Program, his teachings, his coaching, are incredibly valuable. And you'll feel much more valuable yourself if you take him up as a Coach. So please do. ”

“ Damodar carefully and lovingly facilitated a coaching space for gentle and thoughtful introspection and self-exploration. While working with him, I always felt heard, received, and understood. He helped by sharing other perspectives and viewpoints which made me feel less "stuck" and more whole in myself and my experience. The journaling activities were a paramount tool in navigating my inner landscapes and processing my thoughts and emotions. I'd love to work with Damodar again and would certainly recommend his service to others! ”

“ Damodar has an enthusiasm for the spiritual health of his clients along with transparency regarding his own journey. He has earned my trust and inspired me to care for myself in a way I have needed, but neglected for a long time. ”

“ Damodar made me feel like I could talk about anything without worrying about being judged or criticized. He helped me learn to take a step back from my indecorous behaviors, so I can avoid them by understanding the reasons behind them. What I’m really grateful for is not only did this help me, but it also helped the people I’m close with. There are so many paths and goals in life, but I was able to find that the morals that can guide me are already deep inside myself. It takes strength to put your hands down and admit you don’t have your act altogether. But I learned more about myself that way. ”

“ I have been in an ongoing struggle with addiction and anger for a long time, as well as self-destructive thoughts about my personal image and identity. I worked with a Sponsor from Alcoholics Anonymous, took various medications, read self-help books, and watched a lot of YouTube videos. This was all very helpful, and I’ve been sober for four years now. At the same time, I’ve felt somewhat disappointed because I was looking for more spiritual depth. I also felt like I needed more empathic connection to better understand myself. Damodar offered accountability with a mood of acceptance, rather than the harsh style I was accustomed to from my previous jobs and the military. His templates for journaling along with our conversations helped me to gain the insights I was hoping for. I got a better sense of what I can positively appreciate in myself. I also saw how my past traumas can be triggered by events in my current life, and how that can be a catalyst to patterns of thinking and acting that I’d be better off to avoid. I learned how to handle conflict in a way where I can be empathetic both to myself and the other person. As obvious as it sounds, I learned that it’s OK to take a break from interactions when they’re becoming toxic and I’m losing my patience. I learned how to be kind to myself by celebrating my wins, and not looking at every “loss” as evidence that I’m a failure. I have more insight now about my heroes and role models in life, and how they had paved the way of my morals and ethics that have been buried in my heart since my young adulthood. I appreciated Damodar’s kindness, his attention to detail in our conversations, and the sincerity in his responses. He’s a very good listener, very thoughtful, and he asks honest and thought-provoking questions. I felt like he could really empathize with me in a way that I had been needing, and it really made me feel comfortable to open up about sensitive matters. ”
