Meet Archana Rama

Archana’s life experiences from the beginning, took her on a journey of life-lessons that included amazing opportunities and great loss; a life with much privilege and devastating abuse. It is the journey of navigating through life’s challenges that Archana moved from pain to enlightenment.  Ultimately, this path has led her to a place of achieving a greater sense of peace, wisdom and harmony within herself.  It is this gift that she shares with others now.  

Archana grew up in India in a Hindu family who were dedicated and devout followers of Yogi Sai Baba. She moved to Canada when she was 15 but had itchy feet and got down to the business of traveling the world as soon as she was old enough. 

It was on one of her travels that her life took a sharp turn ... she met a man who changed the whole trajectory of her life. That man was His Holiness, The Dalai Lama.  Arch became a Buddhist Nun where she studied under his tutelage along with His Holiness Karmappa and Khumturl Rinpoche for 12 years. 

Archana returned to Canada several years ago and has been dedicating herself to a continued study of the healing arts. She continues to deepen her meditation practice through intensive retreats offered through the Vipassana Center in Ontario and stays connected to her ashram in Dharamsala, India. 

Archana has always had the ability to sense people’s physical wellness and state of being. She is a gemstone dealer and so pairing the healing benefits of gemstones to help people heal from illness and dis-ease was a natural progression.

Today, Archana utilizes any combination of her healing modalities when working with people …crystals, aromatherapies, Reiki or Huna.  

Archana Rama is a deeply experienced somatic practitioner, circle facilitator, and trauma-informed guide, bringing over three decades of practice rooted in the ancient and modern Tantric arts, somatic healing, and consent-based embodiment.  She spent over a decade immersed in silent meditation, community leadership, and body-centered spiritual practice.

In her evolution, Archana expanded her training to integrate modern somatic and trauma-informed approaches, becoming deeply skilled in Wheel of Consent™ practices—a relational and embodiment framework designed to restore clarity, boundaries, authentic connection, and self-trust through somatic awareness.

She has led empowerment programs for women, facilitated circles for embodied connection, and taught chakra-based sound healing and breathwork, always centering the principles of autonomy, mutual respect, and safety.
