"Dr. Moray's expertise in somatics and leadership brought a unique and refreshing perspective to our programs team, leaving a lasting impact on our collective dynamic.
From the outset, Pavini skillfully held the space for our team, creating an environment that encouraged us to drop into our bodies and engage with the coaching process on a deeper level. This ability to facilitate a safe and inviting space was commendable and set the tone for the entire coaching experience.
What stood out most about Pavini's approach was the seamless integration of somatics and leadership principles. Their unique methodology helped us understand the connection between our physical presence and leadership skills and provided practical tools to embody these principles in our daily work.
The sessions were not just about acquiring knowledge; they were about experiencing a profound shift in our awareness and understanding of ourselves as individuals and as a team. Their guidance allowed us to explore new perspectives, break through limiting beliefs, and develop a deeper sense of connection with one another.
The impact of Dr. Moray's coaching extended beyond the sessions themselves, creating a tangible bond within our team. We were better equipped to navigate challenges, communicate effectively, and collaborate more seamlessly. The positive changes were evident not only in our professional interactions but also in the overall team culture.
I highly recommend Dr. Pavini Moray for their exceptional corporate coaching services. Their ability to blend somatics and leadership principles is truly unique and immensely beneficial. Dr. Moray is the ideal choice if you're looking for a coach who can help your team drop into their bodies, foster genuine connections, and elevate their leadership skills. Our experience with them has been super helpful, and I am confident that others will find similar success under their guidance."

Corporate training
"Pavini has a real, refined and relatable eloquence and way of being and communicating in the world that is unparalleled in my experience. I've grown in so many ways through being in their presence alone, and it's rare to find someone with such an integrous transmission.
I look forward to our training sessions and the treasures inevitably held within them. Pavini is a complete asset to any team and has enormous potential to facilitate the transformation of the culture of any organization in a deep, real and sustainable way. I wish every organization had a Pavini!"
~ Louisa Phillips
Team coaching
"Pavini has such an incredible skill set to support both teams and individuals, and I’ve found that the space holding and support is unmatched. Pavini shows up to each session with my team and I grounded, present, prepared and supportive - they are a fantastic facilitator and someone who truly sets a space for open communication built on trust.
Having a facilitated space for my team and I to show up and vulnerably speak about what is true for us in the moment has been a game changer in the way that we approach work and communication. Pavini’s coaching has exceeded expectations time and time again, and after each session, I walk away with a new insight, an abundance of learnings, and a new outlook on areas in work and life that I am so grateful for."
~Gina E.
Inclusivity training
"Pavini is a powerful space holder with so much knowledge and experience with inclusivity and guiding exploration into supportive best practices. Pavini offers a very productive mix of personal learning along with opportunities for implementation on a corporate level.
Their passion and vision for greater inclusivity shines through each and every session. Working with Pavini was a true gift and transformational experience."
~Joanne Gardocki
Team coaching
"Working with Pavini is a true gift. As a former educator, I deeply appreciate the teaching expertise and mastery they bring to their coaching and workshops, and I can confidently say that it's resulted in more thorough and more heartfelt learning for me.
As a coach, Pavini leads with their expertise, but also beautifully co-creates with consent and collaboration around our team's needs. Perhaps their strongest skillset is how they're able to hold space for difficult conversations and ideas, and make sure everyone in the group feels welcomed and validated, while also challenging us to think differently.
I have worked with a lot of coaches, and I can't think of a more masterful coach than Pavini - you 100% want them training you and your team!" ~Elizabeth Clair de Lune, Indiana
Support for Embodiment
"I had been on a long process of embodiment, but had hit a point where I couldn't really move that process without help. Specifically, my relationship with my partner wasn't what we both wanted it to be - we had hit an impasse, and we both were feeling pretty hopeless.
We investigated a number of avenues and options, and my initial talk with Pavini convinced me that they were the right fit for my needs. Further on, it was clear that I specifically had to work more deeply with Pavini to break through many of the stuck places I had.
Working with Pavini has been nothing short of transformational. I identified and broke through a number of blocks related to childhood trauma and gender identity. I feel like I'm inhabiting my body more, my relationship with my partner has changed dramatically, and we don't have that same feeling of hopelessness. I have a set of tools and practices that I can draw on when I need to.
Pavini is intuitive and thoughtful, and a compassionate witness and guide. Working with them has been challenging and playful, deep and full of life."
~Michelle Murrain, Sonoma
Reconnecting as a couple
Pavini is a seriously awesome human who has provided invaluable support to me and my husband both individually and as a couple. We were in a marital crisis when we started coaching, and I'm happy to report that we are now not only on solid ground but thriving and opening in so many unexpected & delightful directions ~ just 6 months or so later.
Like a trusted & level-headed best friend who's always completely real and calls you on your bullshit in a totally compassionate and loving way, Pavini radiates a deep psychic, somatic and spiritual intelligence. We've learned so much about ourselves through this coaching process ~ thank you for everything! -S&A, Berkeley, CA
Study with Pavini!
Do not pass up the opportunity to study with Pavini. Just sign up. Now. I'll wait. Done? Ok, here's what you're in for. Their teaching will will transform your life in unexpected and amazingly magical ways. I feel changed on a cellular level. Pavini is a master teacher and healer and a gentle, humorous and wise guide into really vulnerable and deeply powerful territory. The material is beauitfully balanced between knowledge and self-inquiry, experiental explorations, and body-based work. Truly a holistic approach. No part of you will be left untouched.
This work is about unlearning the beliefs that shape our bodies and their responses to the world and re-membering ourselves. It is about finding freedom and pleasure and safety in your body, and among other bodies. It is about building community with the shared goal of developing full aliveness. SO POWERFUL.
The more I do this, the more my life unfolds in amazing and magical ways that I never could have anticipated. Do this workshop. It will unleash life force within you that will change the shape of your life, it will become more you-shaped.

Hope and Trust in Aliveness Practices
The biggest impact studying with Pavini has had on me is giving me hope and trust in the process of daily aliveness practices. I have more vocabulary now for all sorts of things I have never dug into before, and I also have greater resilience and capacity in being with and experiencing those things without it needing to be re-traumatizing or causing endless thought cyclones. I have more power now to return to my body, listen to it, and trust its ability to process and move through things with vulnerability and grace.
-Natalie, Oakland CA
Building Confidence and Community Support
I've developed so much confidence studying with Pavini. There are tools to get through the hard stuff; it takes practice; a community of support makes a HUGE difference; there isn't an end destination - it helped to hear personal anecdotes and transparency from Pavini about their own process and evolution with the work; going slow and being easy with myself is more likely to get me where I'm going.
~Adrian S. Dallas, TX
Grounded and Supportive Guidance
I loved your teaching and it was one of my favorite parts of our work together. I found your presence so grounding, relaxed, judgment-free, and warm. I really enjoyed having the individual sessions and getting to feel your encouragement and accompaniment. It was a real gift to be guided and witnessed by you. I will definitely be returning to what you taught me, it is so helpful. ~Julian, Portland, OR.
Transformative Couple’s Journey
Jess here, from Jess and John in your Well Couple course last year. I just wanted to send a little note of appreciation. John and I are doing really well, been checking in every week and working on helping one another live our sweetest lives. We are the happiest we've been since the honeymoon phase and life together is filled with so much more ease. We recently decided to move to Mexico for a year, possibly longer, depending on how things go. As you can imagine, this is requiring a lot of teamwork and listening to one another's needs and dreams. We definitely would not be where we are without you and the course, so thank you, thank you, thank you!
~Jess D. Boise, ID
New Ways of Being, from the beginning!
"Even my free initial conversation with Pavini left me thinking about my work life in a whole new way. Their capacious, gentle presence and depth helped me really feel the possibility of going further. They are respectful, compassionate and skilled at providing somatic coaching. I am a healer myself and have often had a very hard time finding someone who can hold space for me as well as I hold it for others - so I am deeply appreciative. " ~Rachel S. Sonoma, CA
I'm comfortable having sex!
"I've been working with Pavini as my somatic coach for almost two years. When I came to somatic coaching, I was completely shut down. In my work with Pavini, I've learned to set boundaries with my partner, and also to ask for what I really want without being afraid of how she'll respond. Pavini's walked with me through my past in such a gentle and nourishing way; I never thought I'd be able to feel comfortable with sex, and here I am, two years later. I chose Pavini because they work mostly with queer people, and I wanted to not have to explain what "stone" meant. I highly recommend Pavini as a somatic coach, and am so glad I took the chance on myself."
~Hannah R. San Francisco, CA
I'm doing my homework!?!!
"Pavini is a rockstar. I mean really. They are warm, funny, accepting and supportive in ways that I didn't even know that I needed. The work we've been doing together is changing my life. It's a deep dive into exploring what's working and not working - in my body, my work life and my relationship. I found pieces of myself that Pavini dusted off and showed me in the full light of day, that in their care look beautiful where I've often only seen pain, misery or upset. This is the best of coaching and healing work combined.
And somehow I've been able to start doing the homework that Pavini recommended. I've been able to be present with myself and the pain I have experienced in my body, in the scarred and hurt places. It's happening that I'm able to turn my attention more towards loving and accepting myself. If you want to be supported no matter what you're body is like, give Pavini a shot. Really. You'll be glad you did." ~Briana C. Oakland, CA
LGBTQ Competence
"Pavini is a knowledgeable somatic coach who has the infrequent expertise and cultural competence to work with LGBTQ clients. Pavini met me where I am, and then supported my own goals and healing processes with compassion and a great range of skills. I was able to integrate a new way of being in my new trans body thank to our work together. I could not recommend their work more highly. " ~ Alex I. Minneapolis, MN
Healing and Transformation
"The somatic coaching work I have begun in such a holistic way with Pavini's guidance and support is deeply powerful. It ishealing and transformative, starting at the cellular layer and spiraling through my body, my work life, my emotions, my brain, my actions and relationships -- all of me. I am so grateful for the wonderful education, guidance, coaching and loving whole-hearted support Pavini has given me." ~ Mel G., San Francisco, CA
Loving my Trans Body
"You are a fabulous somatic coach who helped me get through some personal blocks and find release from my unreasonable expectations. I'm glad to discover how well my new bits work! I highly recommend you to anyone who is open and honest and willing to change their belief patterns to find wholeness and peace."
~Eli M. Walnut Creek, CA
Group Transformation for Trans Guys
After the Geography of Pleasure Embodiment for Trans Guys workshop, I feel more confident and more sure of myself. I've grown to love my body over the years, though I always could use a tune-in or check up to question just how comfortable I am. My confidence was raised, I become more sure of myself (and my boundaries) as a trans person and how I treat my body and how I'll let others treat my body.It was pretty fucking awesome. It could not have come at a better time. I'm so glad I got to meet so many rad people and work through a lot of trauma in a very safe space."
~James P. San Jose, CA
Somatic Education YEAH!
"Pavini, thank you so much for your somatic educators training. I love your unique combination of the Montessori approach and your training. It has been invaluable to me on many levels. I had started running my own classes and I knew they could be better but didn't have the skills or knowledge to understand why.
Your training filled that gap, not only that it gave me a set of tools and approaches which I use regularly. Doing the course has helped my confidence as a teacher grow and really inspired me. I am now running regular classes which I am loving and continuing to develop. If you are in the field of somatics, this course is an absolute must. " ~Sarah Rose Bright, UK
Welcome for large bodies
"You are loving and generous as well as a skilled somatic coach. You hold space especially well for large sized bodies, which is a challenge to many practitioners. I felt easy and at home while we were working, even though we were working on self -image stuff. You are of very high integrity and obviously both in love with the work and driven to high standards."
~Brenna L. Berkeley, CA
Solid container for going deep
"Pavini is very insightful and has a warm and generous spirit. They hold a solid container for me to go deep in somatic coaching and explore my own joy and pleasure, which enables healing and freedom to be more than you ever thought was possible."
~Ness R. San Francisco, CA
More confidence and pleasure
"I highly recommend Pavini as a coach and the skills they bring to our sessions. I felt empowered to talk about the issues I'm wanting to shift with this work. And I trusted that no matter what I said, Pavini would receive my desires with full acceptance. Thanks to Pavini's confidence within this work, I was able to feel more pleasure than I ever thought possible. I would not hesitate in recommending Pavini to anyone who is curious." ~Julie D. Portland, OR
