____________________________________________________________________
Incredible teachers, keynote speakers and healers from all different walks of life come together to awaken spiritual power in the world through HEMA.
Healing – Empowerment – Movement – Ayurveda
“I created the HEMA Wellness Program to share with everyone the tools I use in my own life and teachings, as well as to bring together some of the amazing people I have been so blessed to know and learn from. I knew it was going to be powerful bringing together these healers, mentors and teachers, but never knew just how truly transformational it was going to be for EVERYONE until we created the program last year. It is a magical and spiritual journey to discover and come home to our truth. From that place, we learn to thrive and live a life filled with joy and purposeful empowerment.” -Hemalayaa

Geeta Maker-Clark, MD
Dr. Geeta Maker-Clark is a board certified integrative family physician, practicing in Chicago IL, where she is the coordinator of Integrative Medical Education for the University of Chicago and faculty at the U of C NorthShore Family Medicine Residency program.

She has pursued studies with traditional healers in India, and midwives, herbalists and energy healers from around the globe. One of her passions is caring for pregnant women and attending births, and she has caught over 500 babies. Geeta is a certified prenatal yoga instructor, and uses yoga to help women prepare for childbirth and recover quickly afterwards.
She has found that the practice of Integrative Medicine, combining the best of conventional medicine and alternative therapies, offers an opportunity for healing, wellness and disease prevention that neither modality can achieve alone. For this reason, she spent 2 years training at the University of Arizona Fellowship in Integrative Medicine, under the supervision and mentorship of Drs. Andrew Weil and Tieraona Low Dog, world renowned pioneers in this field. Geeta relies heavily on the use of food as medicine in her approach to healing, as well as herbs, botanicals, breath work, conventional medicines and healing practitioners in the community.

Hilary Kimblin
Hilary Kimblin was trained as a Laughter Yoga leader in 2006 and says she attended the training without ever having experienced a laughter session before. “It’s probably better that I did it that way,” she confides, “otherwise my mind would have had a chance to reject the whole thing, I mean, it’s a really strange experience the first few times!” Hilary had previously taught and performed improvisational comedy and found that Laughter Yoga was different in a very crucial way. “Doing comedy day in day out as a living means that it’s easy to get very cerebral about laughing. I certainly didn’t gravitate toward comedy to be stuck in my head! I wanted to spend my days laughing, but the “scene” became more and more intense for me as I pursued it as a career. Laughter Yoga allows the laughter to flow in a group in a way that a response to humor rarely achieves.” Today, Hilary works with people in businesses, non-profit organizations, and clinical settings to develop their group dynamics and augment their personal health, through Laughter Yoga. She also certifies individuals to become Laughter Yoga leaders. In this fun 2 day training, students not only learn how to lead a Laughter Yoga session with a variety of participants, but they also have lots of time and support in which to practice their skills. “In fact,” says Hilary, “for many people this training is a wonderful retreat – a time and space to enjoy and develop their inner joy with intentional laughter.”

Her goal is not only to help her clients but also to teach PSYCH-K to general population and Addictions and mental health professionals and energy healers. She believes healing the ‘Root Cause’ of one’s problems is the missing ‘Key’ piece to the total and long term healing and believes that PSYCH-K is that missing piece that does total justice to what it offers. As a result of her own personal breakthroughs and watching her clients heal, she has made it her mission to share this process with as many people possible in the World.
She takes pride in the fact that she walks her talk. She believes unless we completely heal ourselves we won’t be able to help our clients to the fullest.

Testimonials:
“The HEMA Wellness Program is physically, mentally, emotionally
and spiritually EXPANSIVE. The teachers are incredible, and Hemalayaa
is such a gifted teacher. She meets you right where you are, without judgment.
Taking the HEMA Wellness Program connected me more fully to my divine purpose,
helped me get over my self-doubt, and by example, helped me understand, more fully,
the divine process unfolding in my life. Aside from all that, learning to
dance with total joyful abandon, in her presence, is one of the most
precious gifts I have given myself.”
~Dawn Flores (author of The Juno Cards and Creator of “Goddess Dance”)
“Hemalayaa is a living goddess who transmits ancient knowledge to a modern world flawlessly and with great clarity. I came to the Hema Wellness program looking to learn her secrets of Indian dance and yoga. What I came home with I will be eternally grateful for. She gave so much more than amazingly effective practices. She presented a total experience of mind/body/soul healing and well-being. Hema knows how to bring out the best in everyone while being aware of limitations. She is down to earth – a goddess you can approach, and yet she is ethereal and powerful and extremely intuitive, and every part of her program reflects this and shares it with the students. The program encompasses really great yoga, fun and exhilarating Indian dancing, healing meditations, and tons of really practical Ayurveda wellness techniques such as aromatherapy, self-care, beauty, and much more. Hemalayaa’s program is one of a kind! During the program many women lost weight quite naturally, skin became brighter, smiles were bigger, and many people had noticeably less of a burden on their shoulders. Truly, by the final day, everyone was absolutely beaming with more happiness, hope, and overall well-being. I will remember the retreat for the rest of my life as one of my all time favorite experiences!”
