inner journey

a pathway of self-discovery

When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.

Lao Tzu

Inner Journey is an invitation to walk the path within — a pilgrimage of self-discovery and integration.

My name is Sandii, and I accompany those who feel called to explore the inner landscapes of the psyche: the unseen places that quietly shape how we relate, love, create, and find meaning and purpose in our lives.

This work is grounded in a trauma-informed and holistic approach. It offers a safe and compassionate space for what has been held in the unconscious to come into awareness. Often, the patterns and protections that once kept us safe begin to limit how we connect and express ourselves. Healing invites us to meet these parts with presence, patience, and care, so they can transform rather than repeat.

Drawing from depth psychology, contemplative practice, and somatic awareness, Inner Journey helps us recognize the patterns, emotions, and inner forces that influence our choices and relationships. As we bring curiosity and understanding to these hidden dynamics, a deeper coherence begins to unfold allowing us to live with greater authenticity, purpose, and acceptance of who we are.

At its heart, Inner Journey is a process of remembering our inherent wholeness, where psychological understanding and spiritual insight come together to support a more integrated and meaningful way of being.

An inner pilgramage of the embodied feminine

heart-womb awakening

Womb of the Heart is a living journey of remembrance, a community of women walking together in the sacred process of reconnection. Here we return to the wisdom of the womb as a center of creation, intuition, and power, and to the heart as the seat of awareness and compassion. Through shared practices, ritual, and deep presence, we soften the layers of separation and awaken the natural harmony between womb and heart. This work honors the cycles of life, the healing of generational patterns, and the reclamation of the feminine as a living, embodied source of guidance and wholeness. Leaving no shadow unloved and no wound without balm. A devotion to wholeness: where every part of the feminine is welcomed home.

yoga & meditation

Yoga and meditation are invitations to return to the stillness of your own being. Rooted in ancient wisdom, these practices cultivate presence, clarity, and devotion, awakening the natural intelligence of the body and the quiet radiance of the heart. Through breath, movement, and contemplation, we dissolve the illusion of separation and rest in the simplicity of awareness itself.

healing journeys

The womb of the heart workshop w Sandii has been very impactful for myself and my spiritual growth. Sandii orchestrates the most beautifully tender circle for all the woman to come together in. Her depth, founded deeply in the pure hearted teachings of Hridaya, created such a sacredness that only a guide of her wisdom could bring us into. I could imagine there would be many other workshop where one could learn similar practices, but how many workshops these days come from superficial understanding of the concepts of the feminine Devine? Not w the teachings and workshops at Hridaya. If you want depth, here you go 🙇‍♀️ ❤️

The Womb of the Heart workshop was truly life-changing for me. ~ I wouldn't be where I am now without it. I have felt more clear and conscious of my inner strength, courage, resilience, power and Divinity since the retreat. My intention was to surrender to the process, and I feel like I showed up every day authentically and vulnerably, which resulted in cathartic release and holistic Healing. I feel so Grateful and Blessed for the opportunity to join that circle of Wombyn / Sisters; to show up, support, and be supported through the process of awakening further to Truth and Love. So Empowering and Liberating! Thank You 🙏 Mucho Amor 💛

Womb of the Heart made a deep impression on me. I was nervous about being with only women beforehand, but I also knew this was finally a way to connect more deeply with my own (sacred) femininity. From the very beginning, Sandii created a space where everyone felt safe and heard. Her wisdom is conveyed beautifully not only through theory, but it seeps into every practical exercise we did. Among other things, I released certain emotions that no longer serve me, learned to embrace my femininity more, connected deeply with myself, my body and womb, and other women. And perhaps most importantly, I feel like I have truly taken a new step on my path to self-love and learned things and exercises that I will always carry with me and can now rely on. I feel so grateful for attending this retreat. ✨🪷❣️

Womb of the Heart was an opportunity for me to dive deeper into the Divine Feminine in a very unique and powerful way. I have wandered this path for a while, but coming together in this sacred container with other women guided by Sandii was very special for me. Sandii radiates beauty, creativity, strength and compassion and thus embodies the Divine Feminine naturally, while possessing a lot of clarity and leadership qualities at the same time. While the teachings of the feminine cross were new to me, they connected to other more known teachings of the sacred feminine which deepened my capacity to listen to the voice of my Womb. Nowadays, there is a lot of offerings for wom(b)en out there, but few are able to offer such a profound container of transformation in only 3 days while honoring authentic spiritual teachings. Looking forward to some continuation of this at some point (hopefully)!

If you're interested in exploring and deepening the connection with your womb, love to go deep into yourSelf and you get excited by esoteric wisdom, then this workshop is 2000% for you! In a few days we've received different practices and initiations, learned about different archetypes. The exercises we learned were very powerful, surprising and beautiful. I personally was deeply impressed by the way this circle was held and felt super inspired to continue this journey. So much so that I even joined the longer online journey as I wanted to learn more from Sandii and deepen the connection with the wisdom my womb.

The Woman of the Heart Workshop was amazing! Sandi is so knowledgeable and passionate about what she shares and it was a profound and transformative experience. Sandi's beautiful guidance and the supportive circle of women created such a safe space for inner healing and self-exploration. The perfect container to question unconscious thought patterns, look at limiting beliefs, to embrace my role as a wisdom keeper of my body and womb, and to dive deeper into the magic of the sacred feminine. This workshop gave invaluable tools for living a more authentic and empowered life in tune with our natural rhythms. I am so grateful for this opportunity to continue on this inner pilgrimage of the Heart and Womb.

I feel blessed that I was able to attend Womb of the Heart guided by Sandii. Like the softness of a womb, the sacred space created was exactly what I needed to connect deeply to my own womb, to my feminine lineage, and to the vastness of universal love. Sandii's teachings and her radiant heart offered us a safe space to dive deep into the sacredness of our inner temple.

A true gift! As a healer and space holder myself, I can say Sandii held a high-caliber container… Sandii journeyed with me into my depths with an unwavering presence and a heart full of compassion. Her guidance honored my pace and encouraged me to enter spaces I had disregarded. Only to rise anew with fresh eyes that I now see smiling back at me.

I attended Sandy's heart womb retreat, and I can't recommend it enough. It's clear she's fully embodied in her work, she's so soft and comfortable to be around and at the same time super powerful. The perfect balance. I felt very held, I trust her in her wisdom and I can feel she not only knows what she's teaching but she also does the work herself. We had so many profound moments in the retreat and breakthrough. Do yourself a favor and experience this for you. She goes beyond and has her heart in it and deeply cares for all of us in the container.

I felt compelled to let you know just how transformative this journey with your support has been. I am overwhelmed with such deep gratitude for you, your wisdom, your love and your commitment to this path.

Thank you for our session last week. It's been a very powerful and confronting period over the last few days but truly what I needed to hear and feel.

The womb constellation was a great and insightful experience for me. It helped me reveal and work with some parts of myself and thus understand myself better.

This workshop was amazing! Sandii is so knowledgeable and passionate about what she shares, and it was a profound and transformative experience. Her guidance and the supportive circle of women created such a safe space for inner healing and self-exploration… This workshop provided invaluable tools for living a more authentic and empowered life in tune with our natural rhythms.

The Womb of the Heart gave me deep insight into my own feminine power and into how much wisdom there is in our feminine existence. I explored all corners of myself and reconnected with my divine feminine intuition. It's a multidimensional and ancestral experience of love, trust, and connection. The way Sandii creates and holds space opens pathways for spiritual growth and deep healing. If you have the chance to go on this journey… do it! I cannot recommend it more.

The 3 days of heart-womb were so magical. In what felt like 3 weeks, I was led to journey so deeply within and to see patterns that held me back from love for a long time. I feel so much more connected to my power, to my feminine essence and to the sacredness of my being. Journeying through the different gates brought deep insights and transformation. Sandii provided a safe space to unravel all that is not serving love and led the workshop with so much love, wisdom and being an embodiment of the teachings. Thank you!

I feel so much more connected to my power, to my feminine essence, and to the sacredness of my being.

Sandii provided a safe space to unravel all that is not serving love and led the workshop with so much love, and wisdom—an embodiment of the teachings.
