Coaching

I got coaching with Nomali for about six months every other week and we were able to move through a significant shadow of mine, especially with her guiding me through the Immunity to Change process. With care and skill, the way Nomali helped me to see the assumptions and mechanisms of how I sabotage my dearest heartfelt intentions blew me away. We worked quite deeply into the my stuck-points and I was ready for a profound change. Once my unconscious motives were uncovered I had no way back to my old habitual ways. Nomali helped me clarify and integrate these profound, new recognitions and was fully available for my wobbles following the unraveling of these fixations. 

From her training in the Integral Theory landscape and with her nuanced knowledge of adult development, Nomali showed me with precise guidance where and how my fixations showed up as my anxieties. In addition, her deep anchor and understanding of Buddhist principles was hugely beneficial to me. She helped bridge and clarify my issues and process into the Buddhist discourse and helped me detangle some old patterns. She pointed out the spiritual bypass I was still hanging on to, and was able to deepen and clarify my practice. I recorded our session on my phone. It was quite remarkable to hear in my reruns how Nomali brought me back over and over again to the places where I evaded and hid and dogged. She knew how to stop my mental streams and bring me into my sensory experience and she understood how to switch when anxiety showed up from engaging information to body centered process and deeply felt responses. 

The paralyzing anxiety I brought into our sessions for examination is gone. I have started to work with groups and give presentations which I was not able to do prior to working with Nomali. I highly value her broad capacities and her flexibility. I loved our sessions together, her warm and sometimes irreverent way to pull me out of my seriousness and her heartfelt and authentic presence. Thank you Nomali, you helped me to move a major step forward in my life.

I've had a wonderful experience working with Nomali! I'd highly recommend Nomali to anyone looking for a supportive and empathetic coach who takes a holistic, whole-person approach. She is generous with her time and has focused with me on both the professional and personal aspects I'm working on, the underlying emotions and how these all fit together. She's incredibly caring and kind, but not afraid to hold me accountable and challenge me to go deeper on how I'm feeling and the "why" behind my behavior patterns and style. She has helped me keep my leadership plan top of mind, while making space for real-time support on specific topics that arise. I'm excited to continue working with Nomali in the coming months.

I wanted to reach out to you and say thank you so much for being my coach. It is rather amazing to see and feel where I was when I first started with you versus where I am today. It is nearly night and day. I have continued to implement some of the tools and mindsets that I gathered from our sessions together and will be looking to expand on them into the future. Through our sessions and after our last session together, I have had more meaningful conversations with my partner, feel more at ease experiencing instances of flow, have been in a better mood and have started feeling better about myself, feeling a sense of purpose build up again, bought a keyboard as a venue of expression and appreciation for music, started a website as a place to house photographs that I have taken during my travels as well as some writing that I will be doing, played tennis, and experienced 3 days around the 4th in which I didn’t even open up my computer. I am hoping I can continue building on these endeavors going forward especially as things get busier for me. I appreciate you and the time you have taken out to help me.

It has taken a few decades on my journey of self discovery and self development to meet Nomali Perera, which was perfect in time and continues to be rewarding in so many ways. A Master at anything is, having remarkable skills, innate talents and most of all, an immense love for what they do. They design the architecture of their teachings to be flowing, assimilable, going beyond our resistances creating in us a new space to understand their offering. They also create a shift in energy within us in such subtle manners opening new territories for us to grow in and explore our so many worlds and voices. Exploring facets of our lives we would never possibly perceive on your own.

That’s Nomali Perera. Teacher, Integral life coach, facilitator and love.

Nomali has been an immense help to my leadership. She led me through a careful analysis of my abilities and practices, and then guided me as we prepared a detailed, concrete plan for improvement. As I implemented the plan, Nomali was there at every step. She always shared her helpful perspective and made sure I tracked progress carefully. Yet, this was only part of the process; Nomali never shies away from the complex, subjective, difficult human side of leadership, and always provides a compassionate, non-judgmental ear. I can't recommend her highly enough.

The first time I experienced a workshop with Nomali Perera I felt at home. Since that first encounter with her, Nomali's wisdom, calm demeanor and insights have given me spaciousness to explore difficult passages in my personal, professional and spiritual life. Our work is truly integrated in the highest sense. Nomali’s sharp insights are matched with her good heart. When she digs deep and asks penetrating questions, I know I’m being held with respect and care. The result is that I explore entirely new perspectives with wonder rather than fear - leading to enlightening decisions and strong action. If you ever have the opportunity to work with Nomali Perera - carpe diem!

Nomali Perera is an extraordinary coach. Already familiar with her from workshops she led, Nomali was the first person who came to mind when a particularly difficult matter arose in my life that I needed help in addressing. Nomali brings broad knowledge and experience from a variety of fields and modalities into her work. Moreover, and this is where she shines, she does so with great subtlety, intuitiveness, and sensitivity. Heart and mind are well-balanced in Nomali, which is always on display in her approach. Whether we were addressing the personal historical or transcendent spiritual aspects of my life, Nomali engaged skillfully and effectively. She offered insightful comments and practical suggestions for follow-up practices that greatly helped me in the process of working through my issue. In addition, her guidance has served as a significant transitional point for me toward further growth. It gives me great comfort to think I can turn to Nomali in the future if the need arises.

This isn't a passive activity. I respect how Nomali pushes me but also really listens and seeks to understand. Nomali has a certain presence that is the perfect balance between listening, guiding, and providing wisdom. I find great value in each interaction. I’m enjoying living with a growth mindset and am much better prepared for the unexpected as a result of our work together.

Since starting to work with you at the beginning of last year I've continued to pull many of the threads we explored together - I've experienced some wonderful shifts in my perspectives and awareness (emotional maturity and availability, spiritual awareness and direction), produced some outstanding results in my professional life and communities (continued leadership activities and selfless service initiatives), and have met challenges with a new sense of ease and gracefulness (patience with others, with myself and my growth, and confidence in my capacity to unfold greater richness in my being and my surroundings). Along the way, I have also opened up (relaxed my intensely private ways as a Type 5 :) and shared myself with my friends and family members.

Somehow, I find that I'm much more productive in my days. I still use the "pause" meditations you taught me in my meetings at work. I am also deeply grateful for the practice I've maintained in going to sleep without all my devices. I have received good feedback from family and friends who feel that I display more commitment and joy in my life now. 

Thank you so very much once again for your patience, guidance, leadership and love Nomali - I'm clear that the contribution you have been to me is now making its way into the lives of the people I'm connected to (and it is a delicious experience)! I continue to feel profoundly blessed to have worked with you.

It want to share with you that it was a very worthy decision I made when I chose to sign up for coaching with you. You have the most patient set of ears. I’m now consistently running. - amazing! Two things we talked about I have become drastically better at are finally paying my bills on time and keeping my communications going with my family. I am managing the COVID lockdown much better as a result of my new insights. Thank you so much for all your help, Nomali.
