Crisis-proof leadership, calm when everything goes sideways, and world-class tour planning that makes guests feel held, not herded. I witnessed Pratishtha fly to the nearest town before the Bandh (strike) came into effect, then walked for 4 hours in intense heat to reach us at the Sunauli border checkpoint between India and Nepal, where she was due to meet my 66 pax group from Australia from the Nepal side. She then guided us through customs and immigration, supported every border requirement, and even after that exhausting journey, she handled the formalities on both sides with a calm professionalism that honestly felt beyond impressive. What my travellers felt in that moment was relief, trust, and deep respect, because she carried the pressure so they could feel safe and cared for all the way onward to Kathmandu. When you travel with her, you do not just get an itinerary, you get a sense of being held through uncertainty, with dignity and care. You also get her intimate, local knowledge of Nepal. So what Pratishtha shares is not scripted or generic. It comes from her lived experience, personal stories, and a deep connection to the land, culture, and people that helps the whole journey feel more meaningful and real

I was struck by Pratishtha's equanimity: She was always candid about the challenges, but I never felt the energy of complaint or resistance in her. I first met Pratishtha in March 2023 when I took over as the mentor of her online sangha on the mindfulness platform Banyan. From the very beginning, her calm, gentle and gracious presence made an impression on me. At the time, she was caring for her cancer-stricken mom—a commitment which eventually required her to move back to Nepal from Canada apart from navigating a number of other transitions. During this entire time, I was struck by Pratishtha's equanimity: She was always candid about the challenges, but I never felt the energy of complaint or resistance in her. Even if the form of her practice evolved given her circumstances, there was an ongoing fidelity to acceptance, presence, self-compassion and surrender. Perhaps what inspired me the most was the sense of quiet gratitude and joy that she radiated whenever her mom's test results came back positive and whenever she found an opportunity to engage in contemplative study and training. Given all these qualities, I would highly recommend Pratishtha to anyone who might be in need of her valuable services. They can rest assured that whatever challenges may arise, they will be under the guidance and companionship of someone who can do what needs to be done with balance, skill and wisdom.

Pratishtha brings a rare combination of sincerity, steadiness, and care to her mindfulness practice and teaching. Over the years I’ve known her, I’ve seen her engage the work with real humility and dedication, and bring trauma-sensitive principles into service in thoughtful ways — including her work supporting women’s shelters in Nepal. She approaches mindfulness not just as a personal practice, but as a way to serve others with integrity and compassion.”
