“Ramya is an enchanting storyteller whose presence as a guest speaker at the 1M1B Sustainability Accelerator Program has been nothing short of mesmerizing. Her narratives not only illuminate the path to sustainability but also weave a tapestry of inspiration for the youth. With each eloquent word, she leaves an indelible mark, igniting a passion for positive change. Ramya’s contributions as a speaker are an integral part of the program’s allure and impact. “~Deepika

"Ramya is a fantastic storyteller. She weaves in stories of human emancipation, trust and the sheer joy of living. She builds a strong bond between the participants through her storytelling sessions, and finds the 'Red Thread' that connects us all, no matter what contexts we come from. Her sessions are ideal for corporate sectors, NGOs and educational institutions to remind ourselves once in a while that we are part of the larger human network. I was so moved by her workshop that I have written a detailed piece on her work here: https://medium.com/@pooogirl/my-friend-ramya-is-a-storyteller-i-wondered-what-it-meant-4dfaf9304476 "~Pooja

If you need a safe space away from all the chatter and chaos of the world to breathe, process, and reflect, this is 'the place'. Ramya, through her gentle yet wise presence, helps you compassionately question and confront yourself. This might be what you've been looking for—or not—but there's only one way to find out. Regardless of the outcome, this is a journey you won't regret taking :)” ~Client in Expressive Arts & Coaching Practice

“It was one of my friends that introduced us to Ramya and her story sessions. My daughter joined the sessions during the disheartening Corona times. For the kids who were stuck at home with nothing much to cheer them up, these story sessions were moments of pure bliss where they listened to beautiful stories and got an opportunity to enjoy, be creative, have unabashed chatter about their likes, dislikes, hobbies and their cute little opinions. In current times, most kids don’t get the privilege of growing up on stories recited by grandparents, which used to lay the foundation of strong values, a love for culture and arts and a positive attitude to life. In such times, these story sessions which Ramya would bring to life with her impeccable style of narration irrigated the fertile land of their imagination. And all this despite the limitations of a virtual medium. Ramya’s sessions are so riveting that even parents listening passively would get drawn into the narrative, I definitely did! Me and my daughter are really thankful to Ramya for being the inspiration she is and wish her all the very best for all her creative endeavours in future.” ~Blessy

“I’ve known Ramya Iyer since our childhood..She has always been a person with extreme positivity that people around her will autamatically sense that aura. Not only that…she has been very empathetic towards others..and it’s no surprise that these traits got converted into her healing and story telling sessions.. they are a real therapy especially in the dog eat dog world that we are living on..I really recommend to attend her sessions.and promise that it will bring about a big change. I have been attending the sessions from COVID times..and try to attend them whenever possible and time permits.” ~Pradeep

"Sometimes it is diffcult to speak or even think about your own journey, your own trials and your own emotions. At such times stories bring a magical power to feel and think without hesitation as it puts things in the context of a 3rd party. I always thought stories are for children but through Ramya I have realised this super power of stories and art.
There is so much empathy and wonder and joy in her telling of stories that you are pulled in to feel and experiance that mythical world with her. And in doing so, you find yourself connecting within to something long forgotten or perhaps even never discovered before.
In full disclosure, I have known Ramya for many years and have always admired her high EQ, compassion and empathy. She has found a way to channel these rare qualities to make a difference and touch so many lives through storytelling and coaching with expressive arts. I love her for this!" ~Priya
