“I spent my whole life contorting myself to be perfect for others, making myself smaller to be palatable and agreeable, and it felt like I just woke up one day and was like “who the fuck am I? what do I like to do just for me? Is it even possible to live without worrying about how others perceive me?”

[Now,] I’m more steady when I enter new spaces. I’m more sure of who I am, what I have to offer, what is for me. There’s a kind of peace I have with myself these days... “

"Everytime I work with you, I learn to trust myself more.”

“I can't tell you how wonderful it is to work with someone who can talk about the experience of being marginalized simultaneously with an incredible sense of humor and with the capacity to just hold space for the very real grief, anger, and other painful emotions that come up when you're fighting to exist in an unjust world.

…I worked with you to make sense of so many oppressive dynamics that are SO hard to see, both interpersonally and internally -- but because I can see them now, I'm increasingly free of their weight, and I think I'll only get freer going forward.”

“This has been the most life changing work I have ever done in my life, and I've lived a lot of life. The journey that you helped me take has helped me do something I did not even know I needed to do: integrate within myself. I spoke to [my therapist] today, and she said I should trademark this thing I said to describe our work together. I said this: "Meera helped me put the pieces of myself back together in the correct places according to how I need them placed and no one else...”

“I am dreaming authentically for the first time. I…finally let go of a lot of harmful beliefs about how I must be in the world, how much I need to achieve, and how I relate to others… I am FAR more comfortable being unabashedly myself, and I'm finally living as my true self, not giving a fuck about a lot of things that used to send me down a negative spiral. I am sure of myself in my decisions and feel more comfortable with following my intuition. Most importantly, I now know how to live according to my values in a flawed society that values a lot of harmful phenomena.

-A.P.

Working with you, I felt seen and so profoundly accepted on my own terms. For me, it was so, so helpful to have this experience with someone who shares understandings from coming from a similar queer person of color background.... I felt like I didn't have to explain or translate myself as much when working with you.”

-R.P.

"You have fundamentally helped me become more myself…and with your gentle nudging and curiosity have influenced me in ways I still can't fully articulate. I think I'm less inclined to step outside of my values or my own authenticity these days than I used to be. It feels like I have more power in how I decide to shape my days and my life without having more control, and that's as it should be.”Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

-K.O.

"I trust myself in ways I have been unable to for years. Part of that is a much better recognition of my own signals, but a big part of that is also more confidence in the way that I work, what drives me even as it runs in opposition to how others and society would push or reward me.”

-S.W.

This isn't therapy or spiritual direction - though I think those are really important, too. It's hard to explain - you aren't pushing people in a direction you think they should go, but you're listening really closely to hear where people know they should go, and then helping them tune in to that. You helped me to wade through things that were blocking me from seeing what I already knew to be true, but couldn't yet see or hadn't yet believed.

“Meera is going to meet you where you are, with the right tools for the task at hand. are you hyperfocused on an issue? she's down in the dirt with a magnifying glass with you. are you running in a million directions at once? she's taking notes and is building a color-coded calendar for you. She’s sensitive to your marginalized identity. (i know like 4 straight cis white dudes at this point in my life. they can fend for themselves LMAOOO.) She’s the antenna on top of the static-y TV that is your brain. She’s not going to make fun of you for that mediocre dad joke you just made. unless you make fun of yourself first. then she will.”
