Kamala Damaris
In 2001, Kamala experienced the loss of a beloved family member, a job and a primary relationship in a two month period. It was then that she turned to yoga and meditation to address questions that she had begun asking herself about the nature of life and loss. She found that yoga and meditation not only helped her reach a place of peace, it ultimately transformed her life.
Then in 2010, her life was turned upside-down again: she left her job, her marriage and the home in which she had been living in for over 10 years. But this time, instead of using her challenges primarily for her own self-development, she used them as an opportunity to give back. In the intervening years, while also practicing law, she had become a Nonviolent Communication trainer and had become certified as a yoga teacher and as a transformational life coach. So this time, she left her successful career as an attorney and founded Attuned Living, an organization dedicated to helping people live in harmony with their deepest values and desires. She has committed her life to working with people in transition or otherwise seeking healing and peace of mind.
She offers transformational and spiritual life coaching to women who are in relationship, career or life transition to create and live the life of their dreams. Having personal knowledge of the effects of childhood trauma and violence, she also shares a variety of practices designed to transform and heal the effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She is committed to serving individuals and communities affected by violence, poverty, homelessness and social oppression. All of Kamala’s work is rooted in mindfulness and so is based on the premise that attuned living can only occur when one’s attention and awareness are focused, without judgement, on the present moment.
In her spare time, Kamala studies and teaches yoga, is a student of the Dharma, and acts and sings professionally under her stage name, Itzel Damaris.
Kamala Damaris has a degree in Psychology from UC Berkeley and a law degree from New York University. She sings regularly in the Bay Area and can be seen in the movie The Truth, The Journey Within released in 2012 and available on DVD here.
