Subra
Ordained Minister in Alameda, California
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I support individuals on their path of healing, integration, and spiritual growth through a blend of somatic and spiritual guidance, trauma-informed care, and earth-based ceremonial practice. My approach is both spiritual and therapeutic—inviting a return to wholeness through presence, emotional attunement, and body-based awareness.
Somatic work invites us to listen to the intelligence of the body as a gateway to deeper emotional regulation, insight, and transformation. By including the body in the healing process, we are able to access and shift patterns that words alone often cannot reach.
I serve as a spiritual minister of a non-denominational, earth-honoring spiritual community. Through this calling, I offer sacred ritual and ceremony within a trauma-informed, ethically grounded, and culturally attuned framework. This work honors the sanctity of deeply open states of being and the many pathways through which we can experience profound healing, awakening, and connection to the divine—however one personally understands or experiences it.
My work is shaped by my Tamil and Indian Hindu heritage, my upbringing in Malaysia, and a lifelong immersion in Hinduism, Buddhism, Indigenous traditions, and non-dual spiritual practices. I also draw on Integral theory and Western psychotherapeutic modalities to offer a multidimensional approach to healing and consciousness.
After a career in software engineering, I was called to this path through my own transformative healing journey. Today, I bring together modalities such as Hakomi-based somatic psychology, Somatic Experiencing, inner-child healing, attachment theory, parts work, kundalini-inspired yoga, mindfulness, energy work, polarity dynamics, breathwork, and bodywork. My work focuses on core wound healing, deep self-discovery, and reconnection with the sacred—while honoring the interplay of identity, culture, and spirit.
With years of dedicated spiritual practice and active engagement in queer and POC communities, I strive to create inclusive, grounded spaces where people can explore worthiness, integrate profound experiences, and awaken to their deepest essence.
I offer trauma-informed somatic and spiritual guidance sessions, ritual-based ceremonial work, and integration support. Sessions are available in person in the Bay Area or over Zoom. I am also available to travel for in-person ceremonial work within the Bay Area and beyond.
If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to reach out and schedule a discovery call.
