I have been working regularly with Sandesh during a difficult transition while processing a lot of anxiety, fear, panic and grief.  I have felt completely safe, seen and heard.  She is beautifully open and nurturing.  She channels and shares deep love and wisdom.  She has been curious and always responsive.  I love that she has such a wide repertoire of resources and healing approaches. She is helping me to release trauma and to safely reintegrate and connect to my body through loving intuitive touch and sounds I did not realise my body had been waiting and longing for.  I have experienced a sense of holy communion while working with her. She has my complete trust and is helping me immensely.

I’ve been seeing Sandesh for the past 2 years, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly friendly, compassionate and always willing to help with whatever physical ailments or concerns I have. Her massage treatments have made a remarkable difference to my well-being. They have not only helped relieve my physical pain but have also been invaluable in reducing stress and restoring balance to my life. I feel so much healthier and happier now than I did when I first started seeing her. I’m truly grateful to have met Sandesh and to have her as part of my healing journey and my life.

I first met Sandesh through a friend at the Grey Lynn market. Although sceptical I could tell she connected with something inside me. I made an appointment for a massage not sure what to expect. Sandesh identified the fear in my body without me saying anything and released it. I no longer doubted her and made another appointment a few weeks later. Again Sandesh helped me work through emotions and a decision I had to make. She anticipated me and what I needed. My life is moving forward in positive ways through the guidance I have received physically and mentally. I am truly grateful and genuinely happy I connected with Sandesh.

I had a surprise UTI (bladder infection) that seemed to linger and was told due to my age (66) and post menopause (20 years earlier) due to oestrogen depleting and lining getting thinner. I asked Sandesh for some sort of natural remedy to heal. She recommended the Yoni cream to apply nightly and the bladder tea consisting of all relevant herbs she blended for me from her garden. Honestly it was an instant fix. I’m so grateful as have no more bladder infections and feel the yoni cream is working wqonders for my vaginal lining. So thrilled could get these results from natural remedies instead of orthodox medicine.

I have been loving Sandesh’s distant sessions bringing such warmth to my healing journey. It has been years now and I am still the biggest fan of these healing sessions that show me how energy really works! Sandesh, you have helped me through all the universal and planetary shifts, making me feel at comfort and safe . The sessions have been always effective and showed me how to have faith in my healing

I have found Sandesh a most gentle & powerful healer.   I have come to Sandesh & experienced being met & understood deeply. I have found her massage treatments very helpful & soothing. She has a deep knowledge of herbal medicine & I use her handmade tinctures frequently.

Sandesh has been my herbal practitioner for many years now.

The moment I come down with something I just get in touch with Sandesh, then collect her medicine for me, and usually in a couple of days..hey presto, I’m all better again, back on my feet in record time and ready to go!

I highly recommend Sandesh and her natural remedies.

I recently did a  Uttara vasti (Yoni bath treatment ) with Sandesh for the first time .        She made the space safe and private enough for me to feel comfortable. She took the time to ensure I understood the process and answered any questions I had. I felt some benefits afterwards but it might need more than one treatment to bring out permanent change. Thank you Sandesh for creating this space!

The Mana Tonic has been fantastic over this winter period.Totally recommend it to all households.Thank you Sandesh!                                                          -Amanda, Grey Lynn

Dear Sandesh, Thank you so much for your amazing skin products! Your Seaweed Serum is a miracle- and I don’t say that lightly (I have extremely sensitive skin). The best face product I have found in a very long search!              -Louisa 

‘It’s so hard to find safe, effective ways to express anger in our society. Where do you put it? How do you let it out of your system? Beating the bag is life-changing! Sandesh’s beat.the.bag is tough enough to take even the most explosive anger. Unlike punching a cushion, you can beat the bag with a hose, which means you don’t hurt yourself no matter how hard you hit. After just a minute or two I feel totally transformed, calmer and looser. Highly recommended!’                                                                                            – Jenny

I found Mana Soulfood’s Magnesium balm amazing. I had been experiencing pain in my hands intermittently. And found this product relieved the discomfort and helped free up my hand. I recommend everyone has a tub of this on hand for aches and pains!         – Marie

 

Good morning Sandesh, Just wanted to say Thank You again and let you know that I’m feeling almost back to normal. (6weeks of fatigue after recent Covid infection) Started noticing an improvement the day after I started on your Mana tonic.                                                – Pam

 

“Thanks Sandesh, your products are absolutely amazing. I can’t live without them!”

– Claire

“OMG WOW, I have been using the seaweed serum for two years now. I call it the miracle worker as it has completely renewed my skin, and a raw red piece of skin on my face has totally disappeared. My 19 year old daughter uses it too, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Thank you Mana soul food. I will never be without this.”

Last week I was starting to get the flu. Sandesh recommended one of her herbal tinctures .I took it every night for a week and I never got sick. All my symptoms lessened. It was fantastic at clearing the congestion. Highly recommend her and her products.              -Dianne

“I have known Sandesh in her professional capacity as a massage therapist for several years. My husband has advanced Alzheimer’s and is no longer able to walk. Sandesh comes twice a week to our home and massages his feet and legs using aromatic oils she has blended herself. Her work has greatly helped to relieve the discomfort, stiffness and swelling he experiences as a result of his limited mobility. Her quiet, compassionate manner enables her to communicate well with him even though he is nonverbal. We value her work immensely and thank her for sharing her herbal knowledge and massage skills with us.”

– Joan

“I wanted to say a huge thank you for creating these beautiful essences. I discovered them whilst having a session by a dear friend who used them on me. I felt this huge connection to my heart centre and my throat during this session. Days after I kept getting a waft of the beautiful scent and it brought me back to the feeling of being totally held and surrendered in this space. As I also give Energy and sound healing I chose the whole set to use with my clients. They have been a wonderful addition to my tool set when giving Energy and Sound healing to my clients so thank you so so deeply for creating these!”

– Simone

 

I tried the THIRD EYE CHAKRA SPRAY for the first time recently. It works almost instantaneously on the energetic body. It gives both, a quick lift and a honing of long-term intuition.Highly recommend!

When my mother entered a rest home, Sandesh was recommended to us as someone who could provide massage therapy. Sandesh quickly became the highlight of her week, for which our family are very grateful. Since then I have seen Sandesh myself and am working with her to find personal balance. The wholistic therapy she has shown me are very helpful. Her products are also wonderful and a pleasure to use. I leave each session with Sandesh refreshed and empowered .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          –  Patrice

I bought the digestive blend tincture to try help with my gut and digestive system due to severe hand eczema and have since noticed my eczema has completely cleared.        All itching and swelling has dissolved. Thank you so much!

                                          – Shanon

Sandesh is wholeheartedly committed to the healing path and to the health of people and the planet. I have admired her unique and inspiring vision for life ever since I met her and her generosity in sharing her gift and extensive knowledge. She is one of the few people I have met who lives and practices in a holistic manner and carries the same self into all scenarios she encounters which in my opinion makes her a rare type of healer and an authentic human being.                                                                   -Cath

Sandesh helped me and my two young boys (4 and 6 year old) immensely to recover after a traumatic time. My older son in particular showed signs of post-traumatic stress such as ticks and atypical emotional outbursts. Over a period of two months Sandesh worked with both of my boys individually and separately. She created a warm, comforting and safe space for them to explore their upsets in a creative and subconscious way. She supported and accelerated their healing process with subtle energy healing practices. She actively involved the boys in choosing herb essences and facilitated their own exploration and understanding of the powers of natural medicines. Both of my boys loved it. While exploring other mediums such as paint and clay, Sandesh skilfully walked the boys onto their path of emotional healing. Both responded really well to their own composed herb elixirs and were always excited for a next session. After two months my older son‘s ticks subsided and he was his balanced self again. The difference was very noticeable at school, too.

I was so grateful to have found Sandesh in a time of parental desperation and can highly recommend her. My boys responded more noticeably to Sandesh‘s healing approach than to the child psychologist, however, I found the combination of both very effective. Thank you Sandesh for your profound wisdom of nature and healing – it was a true blessing!                 – Jess

Thank you, Sandesh, for a beautiful experience of energy healing and massage!

I expected to be relaxed and warmed up, but it was so much more. It was interesting to observe own mind during the session. I felt my body being filled with warm bright light, circulating, and restoring me. Slowly appeared a desire to wish joy and love to everyone and I wanted to forgive and release memories coming to my mind.

I was left with a profound feeling of happiness and light. That feeling stayed with me for weeks and shifted something for good.

I can’t thank you enough for the generosity of your spirit and priceless guidance for my personal spiritual journey.

I am a huge fan of your products that I used for a couple of years and when I was living in Auckland. I brought some back with me when I moved to France but I am now running out and am deeply sadden at the thought of not being able to use them anymore. They are the best skin care I have ever used and I would be so grateful if I could keep using them. Thank you for taking the time to consider and thank you for your beautiful work providing such amazing products to people!

Warm regards  -Claire Weibel

My sessions with Sandesh have been extraordinarily supportive and effective.  Her ability to understand my needs is incredible and she works with such gentleness and kindness.  The herbal blends and teas, chakra sprays, and dietary advice (with recipes) have certainly helped me feel mentally and physically better.  I also have a better understanding of myself and body.  The massages and body work produce an instant and long-lasting effect and I walk away from her sessions feeling on top of the world.   Finding her ,and having the benefit of her expertise, was a very positive part of 2022 for me.  I saw her every 3-4 weeks, and I truly look forward to our sessions.  From my experience I fully recommend her as an expert in her field and a wonderful person.  -Judi
