Invite me to present to your group!


Jaya's presentation on The Work of Byron Katie to the primarily undergraduate audience was one of the best programs we've done.

 She worked easily with us to plan the evening. During the event, her authenticity, extraordinary attentiveness, and humble, grounded style riveted the students' attention and created a space in which they were able to quickly open up, explore the new concepts, and risk considering their worldview from new angles. We look forward to her next presentation to our communities.

Jaya came as a guest to my Postpartum Depression to Joy support group with an awareness of being a guest. Her attitude was, How can I serve?

This group is for people who are in an extremely vulnerable space, dealing with shame and guilt and self-loathing. It's important that they be held in a kind and safe way. Jaya created an atmosphere of safety and respect, and the women shared deeply and cried freely.
    Sometimes a woman dealing with postpartum depression feels scared that she's not the right mother for her child--or that there's a better mama out there for her baby. This thought is tormenting, and can actually be a motive for suicide. We looked at this with Jaya. It was profound, sweet, and nourishing for all of us as she guided the mamas to collect evidence for the truer idea, “I am the right mother for this child.”

Every parent who attended Jaya's workshop left with feelings of hopefulness and encouragement.

I invited Jaya to host a mini-workshop on communication for parents of teenagers at the local high school where I work. Although I am not a parent, I found that Jaya's approach to negotiating, avoiding power-struggles, and holding clear and firm boundaries apply to my work as an administrator and as someone who values building relationships with the students I work with. The workshop was very interactive and Jaya took the time to address the needs of the group in a safe and open forum.  I would definitely invite her back to host another workshop.

I'm completely in love with my Supreme Self-Honoring retreat for women, a deeply rejuvenating weekend. If you'd like me to bring it to wherever you are, let's talk. The women who came to the one in March called it "seamless," "powerful," "perhaps my all-time favorite," and "filling, warming, inspiring, and sweet."  For me, it's a deep and delicious privilege to hold together a group of women committed to their own growth and healing and to guide them through inner and group processes, through stillness and movement, witnessing and assisting as they land in new levels of self-awareness and self-honoring.


I also continue to seek more venues and audiences for my Visioning 123 workshop! If you're interested, contact jaya@jayathetrustcoach.com or call (607) 339-9714.


Jaya has a knack for getting to the universal—to what's essential to all human beings.

She's also frank and direct, unflaggingly pointing out where we are identified with our stories and coaxing us to face the truth of our turnarounds. She came into our long-standing group—we have been meeting for three years through the Hidden Treasures program, where we discovered The Work of Byron Katie. When we invited Jaya to give us guidance, we were enriched by her skill and intuitive presence. It was especially helpful for us to learn one of Byron Katie's pieces of wisdom, “Don't beat her to her enlightenment.” We saw how we were stepping into one another's processes to rescue each other when that was actually counterproductive. We plan to have her back.
