I believe that individuals with insomnia practicing some or all of these techniques may derive some benefit.” – SK

It has helped significantly with my headache.” – MS

I am much more in tune with my intuition and confident that I am being guided in a positive direction by listening to it. I never knew yoga was so encompassing.” – CL

Overall there has been a positive shift in my life since joining his class.” – LC

Little Buddha Program for Children in India – Also known as Pure Little Beings Program in the USA – Founded by Ms. Neha Patel

“I sent my daughter for the Little Buddha workshop at Sharnam last year. She loved every minute of it. Not only did the workshop provide her with a space where she could be herself, it also encouraged her to experiment with and try new skills. In this workshop, Neha integrates her sound knowledge of child psychology and human development with an empathetic understanding about the unique emotional needs of children. Add to that her natural vivacious nature results in an instant and deep bonding with the children, and they respond with an abundance of openness and creativity. The staff at Sharnam and the ambience that Neha provides results in a completely relaxed and tranquil experience for children to learn and experiment with their own creativity.” – Mrs. Samindara Sawant
“We are so glad to let you know how pleased we are with ‘The Little Buddha Program’. I had heard about the program and was eager to send my son for it so as to help him enhance his concentration and overall development. I am truly happy to state that the program has helped to bring about a transformation in his attitude towards life! He has developed self-confidence and his concentration levels have increased. Earlier he was quite an introvert feeling very comfortable in his own zone of family and acquaintances. But now he has become quite sociable and has developed self- esteem, which is the very essence of living. The program in every sense helps children to prepare for life in a holistic manner thereby helping to focus and make choices consciously. I am thrilled to no end to have had the opportunity to send my son to such a fun filled program. Thank you so much Neha and Team! ‘SHARNAM ROCKS’.” – Mrs. Pallavi Punamiya
“Neha….this is the need of the hour…..I deeply endorse this initiative of yours. With so many electronic gadgets, entertainment options around a lot of your course contents have become so essential to groom a child in the RIGHT direction. Just don’t keep it for vacations; this should be made available around the year. God bless.” – Professor Aaditya Lohana
“The Little Buddha Program changed my life. I found a NEW ME. I can express myself more efficiently. I opened up and became more confident after attending the program. Now, I share everything with my parents without any fear. It was borderless fun in the program. I made many friends and became more social. Thanks to Neha ma’am and all the other teachers. The wonderful memories will remain with me for a lifetime.” – Sakhi Shroff
“I am so glad I took the decision of sending my daughter for the Little Buddha program. She is much more confident and is a happier child. It’s visible. Thank you for coming up with something so special for the benefit of children.” – Mr. R. Gandhi.

“I am so happy that I decided to have my son begin tutoring with Dr. Tarryn Foster. My son at 4-years old was having problems with his ABCs and speech. Instead of doing speech therapy as his pediatrician recommended, I decided to start tutoring for him. Within 2 months, my son is actually talking in full sentences and is able to recognize his letters. This is one of the best decisions I have made for my son and I am very pleased with everything Dr. Tarryn is doing for my son.” ~ CL, Leesburg, VA
“We thank you so much for all your hard work with our daughter. Your dedication, kindness, and originality were the best thing she could get for her education.” ~ The D Family, Ashburn, VA
“Saying “thank you” to a teacher like you never seems to be enough! My husband and I cannot tell you how grateful we are for being such a positive influence on our son. You have transformed our lives in so many ways, but mostly you helped our family overcome a huge barrier “food”! Your guidance, support, encouragement and love as a teacher, helped him learn to try new food – something nobody has been able to do before. When he whispers to us “I liked it” – it’s that smile and attitude that makes me cry with joy.” ~ NC, Ashburn, VA
“We were seeking for someone to tutor our daughter before she started kindergarten just to make sure she would be ready and to give her a feel for school. We were given Dr. Foster’s number by an acquaintance who had taken her son to see her. The first time we met Dr. Foster greeted us with a positive vibe and a huge smile. My daughter immediately felt very comfortable with her, which made us feel secure. Every day after she was done tutoring with my daughter we had a conversation about what they did that day. I see how much my daughter has learned with her in such a small amount of time. Now that my daughter has started kindergarten her teacher has bragged about howahead she is and we honestly have to thank Dr. Foster and the patience she had with our daughter. Without a doubt, I will use Dr. Foster in the future.” ~ Mailyn C., Leesburg, VA
“Dear Ms. Tarryn I love that you are my teacher. Your funny, surprising and cool. You are just the one teacher who has fun. You have a nice smile. A fun little laughter right out of your mouth. So funny its true! I know all about you!” ~Riley, age 7
“Ms. Tarryn you like to run and play every day. You are so fun and your always on the run! Whenever I am hurt, you always have a heart. You make me smile and I always like to see you.” ~ Love Brooke, age 6
“I have been a patient of Dr. Foster for many years. I am so grateful to have been introduced to her… an extremely gifted and intuitive healer. She has a warm and friendly nature that makes telling her all of your ailments easy and straightforward. She is comprehensive in her approach, making sure that she learns as much as possible about you and that her health plans include all aspects of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well being. I can wholeheartedly give her 5 stars.” ~ Nilajah Brown
