Straight from the Heart
Meghna Agrawal, AhmedabadBreastfeeding and Lactation support (2011)
Being a mother changes an entire being. And the first time is always filled with doubts, concerns, fear of being a good mom. In my case an orthodox extended family with unbelievable superstitions on raising a child and absolutely no real context of right feeding! What was most striking was that even some of my peer moms follow the modern 'convenient for me' approach and not worry about what's really necessary for a child. My connection with Yasmin was over a simple problem given a serious outlook by my doc. Had i not been suggested her by Binaifer (my mentor, my friend), i would have repented for the rest of my life. At the time my baby girl Reva was only a month old. At 6 1/2 months now, i feel proud to have exclusively breastfed her and still continuing with Yasmin's guidance and Reva's solid eating cues. I 'swear' by Yasmin. You are God sent for me. I am so at ease to know that someone like her exists for all moms. I'm glad she's around for Reva and me :) Thank you so much for making our lives truly worth it!" Lots of love, |
Arpita Chatterjee, DelhiAdvanced Clinical Lactation Intensive (2012)
Yasmin and the support she provided me are the reasons why I am a proud breastfeeding mamma to my 16 month old baby today and we are going strong. After getting wrong and bad advice from several pediatricians and lactation consultants regarding my endless and painful nursing sessions, I met Yasmin and she was the first one who actually listened to my problems, checked my baby's latch as I fed him and did not dismiss me with generic advice. Her level of knowledge regarding lactation is exceptional and the fact that she views a nursing relationship as a symbiotic one between mother and baby, sets her apart from any of the pediatricians and LCs I have met. She is always forthcoming with advice and support for a mother and baby in need. If anyone is facing nursing issues, I would strongly urge you to seek Yasmin's services as that may save a precious breastfeeding relationship. |
Keisha Lobo, MumbaiParenting Communication Skills Workshop (2013)
Effath Yasmin, thank you for giving me (and my family ) ... a patient, centered, responsive, joyful ME. The skills you teach are just the tip of the iceberg, and the person YOU ARE brings warmth and life to them. I know this sounds like gushing praise but it is only your due for the clarity in communication you have brought to all areas of my life . Thank you! |

Dear Yasmin, I did your workshop on a gut feeling & came in with absolutely with no expectations. I was so deeply touched by the different aspects of parenting that you showed me. You made me re think my approach with every single human being I come across. My biggest realisation was that we are all children of God, and every one of us just wants to be loved, understood, accepted and appreciated for who we are, just as we are at every age. My son teaches me life's biggest lessons in the most simples of ways.I know that it is he who sent me to you to learn how I can make myself a better mom, as well as a better human being. After all, we are all here to learn. Thank you for all that you do and all that you give. It sure must take a very big heart to give of yourself every time with every student. I truly appreciated attending your class. May God Bless you ! Lots of love

Caring and patient lactation consultant
I had met 2 lactation consultants with no result until I got Yasmin's contact from Baby Chakra Yasmin gave enough time to understand my problem and was very patient in guiding me through the entire feeding process. She also helped and counselled me through the post natal depression I was having. I would strongly recommend contacting her at the earliest if one is struggling with feeding

The sessions were absolutely eye-opening - both towards new possibilities & revisiting existing beliefs. The space - physical, mental, energy-wise to share in trust & receive with an open mind was beautifully created by you - and my fellow parents and I responded well to that (I think!) Here's to many many more parents benefiting from your workshops!

Yasmin, here is my pre and post frenotomy (tongue tie release) experience. Symptoms before release: I have had severe headaches since childhood,neck and shoulder always felt tight, have dental issues,mouth breathing, poor digestion. After the procedure: Felt better with breathing just after the release, my neck and shoulder and back seem to improve after 3rd Biodynamic Craniosacral Session with you (The after care and body work I realise is such an essential part of the treatment. Each session has been crucial and helpful) I have just come back from a week long vacation and thankfully no headaches (which is very unlikely because long travels always gave me headaches) Also before release, every morning I used to feel very stiff(neck shoulder) and had to do a lot of stretching to feel better....now its all gone, I wake up fresh and happy When I am in traffic driving my car I would feel tension in my Jaw ( TMJ - Temporo-Mandibular Joint felt always tight and friction). Post frenotomy my jaw has dropped and I no more feel tension in my jaw and feel so free of strain on my facial muscles which always impacted my neck and shoulders. I used to slouch, sitting with my back straight never felt comfortable and now I see my posture has also improved....though I make conscious effort to stand/sit straight but it no more feels uncomfortable. If this helps anyone take a better decision, I am more than happy to share my story so far and I am still in my journey of more improvements. Thank you Yasmin for your immense support through this.

I have no words to express for my sessions of Biodnamic Craniosacral therapy. This was my journey to recovery with Yasmin and finding health in stillness and
calmness. I started out being very skeptical of the therapy,but the results I got and s aw from my own therapy sessions were marvellous, each session would touch
various aspects of physical stress to emotional stress caused over the period of time and healed them. Some sessions helped me connect to inner self, whereas some
left me in an emotional state which probably was never addressed and some sessions it was utter bliss. Thank you Yasmin for being there, helping me in my journey
to find health.

Preeti Birla Nair, MumbaiCraniosacral Biodynamic Treatment (2016)
I got badly injured on my hands and needed to be rushed to the hospital. Receiving BCST from Yasmin as a first aid at different points through the night, helped me remain calm and composed through the chaos. At one point she even prevented me from becoming unconscious. I am certain that without Yasmin by my side this whole experience would have been more stressful and traumatic for me. (Cannot thank you enough ...). After the plaster from my hand was removed, one session of BCST with Yasmin, helped to reduce the extent of swelling in my fingers significantly. ! it is astonishing to see how the body responds to being received in an environment of stillness, sensitivity and awareness. Yasmin is a master at providing this environment |
