““You are not a drop in the Ocean; you are the mighty Ocean in one drop””
“"My jyotish reading with Mamta Landerman was more than I could have imagined but very pointed in ways that I have been seeking clarity. The readings look into the past to heal and move through trauma and memories that hold us back and that would have been enough for the value. It continued through the present to explain my feelings of angst and uncertainty with specifics on how to achieve my goals in the future if I can remove the obstacles I put in my own path. I now understand my limiting behavior traits, have reshaped my thinking on the difficulties of the past and ready to embrace a new chapter that is coming with spring. With the reading, you receive a recording that I have watched a couple times. Each time I get more out of it. I am so much more at peace and excited for what is to come! Thank you Mamta Landerman!"

Andrea Thannhauser
Andrea Thannhauser is Nationally Certified in Western Reflexology. “Some of my most challenging clients experience the greatest benefits from a session, and witnessing such an almost unbelieveable event leaves me in awe of the healing power of the human body once placed in a nurturing environment. I enjoy reflexology over other forms of complementary medicine because it not only fosters a sense of well-being & deep relaxation, it aims to improve the function of the human organs as well, giving me the opportunity to make a positive impact on someone’s life through a simple, non-invasive practice that is also incredibly rewarding and motivating for myself, as the practitioner.”
