“Kinga came into our lives as a friend, became the person we called every time one of our dogs needed help, and has since grown into something I can only describe as a trusted guide for our entire family. What struck me first was how effortless she made complex behavioral work look. Our dogs responded to her immediately—she'd catch the smallest shift in energy and know exactly what it meant and what to do. It was like she spoke their language.
​
But her real gift isn't just with animals. It's with beings.
​
Kinga has been part of our lives long enough to witness some very hard seasons, especially with our daughter’s mental health struggles. In some of our most intense moments, she stepped in with a steadiness and clarity that I honestly don’t know how to describe. There was a day my daughter was at school in the middle of a full panic attack - overwhelmed, hyperventilating, completely spiraling. Kinga got on the phone with her and, within minutes, shifted the entire trajectory of that moment. She calmly walked her through breathing, grounded her, and gave her clear, simple next steps. It worked. Not because it was complicated, but because Kinga knew exactly how to reach her. It feels effortless when Kinga talks with my daughter, like a natural conversation, but it’s built on sophisticated understanding of how people process emotion and stress. What’s equally remarkable is that she could then turn to me and gently explain the nuances—the small things I might instinctively say as a parent that I believe are helpful, but that could actually be triggering.
​
My daughter absolutely loves Kinga, trusts her fully, and feels seen, heard, and understood in a way that is rare. After their time together, my daughter always has a better understanding of herself. I feel incredibly lucky to have Kinga in my life – it’s rare to find someone you can truly trust, who goes deep, genuinely cares about your wellbeing, and whose conversation always provide the clarity and perspective I wouldn’t have otherwise."

"Working with Kinga has been truly transformative. When I first began coaching, I felt stuck attempting to climb a corporate ladder and weighed down by a constant need to please others. This combination often left me feeling powerless. From our very first session, Kinga created a safe and curious space that allowed me to explore my past. She helped me recognize how certain habits and self-perceptions rooted in childhood were still shaping my adult life today. She then empowered me to reimagine what I wanted in life and how I could work towards those goals. Kinga has a rare and remarkable ability to see and hear the whole person. She empowers her clients to access their own inner wisdom, leading to genuine clarity and growth in every area of life.

As someone who has spent over 20 years researching and designing experiential learning, I know intellectually that words don't teach, experiences do. My time at Sacred Lotus reminded me why this truth matters.
Watching the horses respond to presence rather than force, observing the quiet intelligence of the animals, being in a space where nature itself becomes the teacher. This is where real transformation happens.
Kinga understands what I know from decades of research: behavioral change emerges when we're given the right environment, the right guide, and the permission to learn through direct experience. As a behavioral expert, she creates conditions for insight that no classroom or coaching session alone can replicate.
I left Sacred Lotus with a clarity I hadn't realized I was missing. This is the space I want to bring my clients to so they can move beyond strategy documents and into the embodied wisdom that actually changes how they show up.”

“As a parent, I’ve always sought out opportunities that nurture my child’s well-being. When we discovered Sacred Lotus, surrounded by a vibrant ecosystem of animals, it felt like a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The center emphasizes a holistic approach, focusing not just on physical health but emotional and spiritual growth as well.
Kinga is a wealth of knowledge and made everyone feel safe and comfortable it’s almost like her super power. She guided us through various aspects of her sanctuary where everything is thriving with positivity and love. Can’t wait for our next session.”
– Pi’lani, Brian, Mahina & Lilly
"Sacred Lotus lives up to its name in every sense. The moment you step inside, something shifts — shoulders drop, breath slows, and your body quietly registers that it's safe. Kinga has built a true sanctuary, and her care is woven into every detail of it.
​
I've known Kinga for years. She has walked alongside me through some of my most defining and difficult seasons: growing up in a single-parent home, leaving for college, loving people through addiction, changing careers, and finding my own belief system as an adult. Through all of it, her gift has been the same — an ability to meet me across therapeutic and spiritual modalities without an ounce of judgment. In her presence, I feel genuinely held.
Anxiety has been my lifelong companion. I didn't grow up around animals and never expected to find comfort in them. But something about the Sacred Lotus farm changed that. The animals there — playful, present, and part of a real community — do something to my nervous system that I've only ever found at faraway destination retreats. Working with my hands, caring for them, or simply being near them pulls me out of mental chaos and anchors me in the moment.
​
As I continue doing the inner work, it means everything to know that less than 15 minutes from my door, there is open land, a community of animals, and a person who will receive me exactly as I am."
