Kessuda Holistic Healing:
Stories of Transformation
Kessuda has truly changed my life. Through my work with her based on the Enneagram techniques, she has given me back peace and mental clarity I never knew I could have. She is more than just a therapist, she is a compassionate and gifted healer and teacher. She has helped me discover where my blind spots in myself are, where my habitual patterns lead me, and how I can learn to recognize them before they get out of control. I have never felt such profound freedom from myself. I have been to many therapists before but have never found the sense of personal empowerment Kessuda’s techniques give me. This is so unique to Kessuda’s work. I feel like I am the one who now has control over my unwieldy mind instead of the reverse. I feel I can temper my anxiety into something productive. I talked about her so much that my boyfriend decided to start working with her too and he too was in awe of her work. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done for me

I never knew before that people should have “awareness.” I never knew what sati (mindfulness practice) meant? Even though I’m a Buddhist, I never practiced the correct meditation or mindfulness, never knew how to control my breath and how to practice mindfulness yoga.
I got to know all of this when I got to know Kess. Kess always asked me questions and guided me to see by myself how our body is affected from our thoughts and emotions. She also helped me get in touch deeply with my inner selves through daily homework and daily mindfulness practice. I’m learning to observe my emotions and my body feelings. I also use breathing techniques to help me slow down my body’s actions. Within only a few months I’m slowly changing from a short tempered and irrational person to be more calm and thoughtful person. I accept, respect and listen to others better. I’m learning about deep listening from Kess. To be aware, think before acting and learn to share my thoughts, my feelings, my needs and my vulnerability more with the important people in my life. In the beginning, when I started working with Kess, I only cried and had anger towards my partner. Kess shares new ways to look at things and act with my issues. I learn to know and deal about my anger, and how to take care of my needs and understand others’ needs as well.
Everyday I can find the healthy way to deal with my family issues. I’ve learned to ask myself daily: why don’t we use mindfulness rather than emotions? Change our spite to have sympathy for that person instead? Since the day I got to know Kess, I‘ve always had a rich experience. She is a very good therapist, counselor and good model. Whatever she teaches or shares, she does and lives her life as an example. I learn a lot from her lifestyle and the way she deals with difficulty in her life. She helps me to realize that we can’t get everything we expect. Permanence is impermanence and we need to be able to accept it. I need to keep positive and change my own actions then everything will get better.

I was experiencing especially acute anxiety from facing a situation that I feared intensely. With Kessuda’s guidance, the TRAIN process helped me to face that fear as something impermanent, momentary—like all experiences—and to understand how my mind obsesses over the future instead of living in the moment, the only time we have. With her guidance, I have continued the practice of TRAINing my mind to recognize the thoughts and patterns that have repeatedly governed my emotions and behavior for much of my life.
While change does not come instantly or without struggle, I feel I am able to see my thoughts more objectively—with less emotion—and to decide whether to “jump in a particular car” and let it take me for a bumpy ride or to just let it pass by as one of many cars racing through my consciousness that have been the source of unhappy “rides” for years.
Through the TRAIN process, I have learned to pay closer attention to situations where I intend to accomplish a task or longer-term goal but feel anxious or reluctant to start. In these cases, I try to stop and check in with my thoughts to find out what inner dialogue is actually leading me to procrastinate and avoid moving forward. It might be as simple as feeling overwhelmed with the need to get everything right—the need for perfection—and therefore, I become paralyzed. Or it might be a fear of the future that my “doing” will lead to, with all its uncertainties and possible negative outcomes.
I’m now practicing to recognize these unhealthy, unproductive thoughts, accept them for what they are, and then let them go—at least enough to take concrete action steps, one by one, in the present. I also experience the feeling of accomplishment that comes from achieving not just an overall goal but a series of smaller, day-to-day tasks that contribute to one’s sense of gratification for being alive. It may sound cliché, but I truly feel that the journey is more important than the destination, and I need to be on a journey, to be in a river flowing forward by my conscious choice, not governed by some ancient, unconscious and stultifying instinctual survival pattern.

Enneagram confirmed what my life had already shown me, that I am a Peacemaker,
a Healer, a Comforter.
I was surprised to realize how much of my life was driven by my desire to please others. I have been very frustrated with life because, even after doing all the right things I could not find happiness or peace of mind. I realize now that this is because I lost myself a long time ago. I lost touch with who I am and what I want. I hid myself from pain and neglected my needs. I have paid a heavy cost for my laziness. Laziness to find who I am, laziness to be in touch with real life, choosing instead to live in a happy fantasy where nothing can really go wrong and nothing can really touch me. I avoided anything that threatened to make me feel. I have lived on the surface of life. But I am ok with this now, because I have a way forward that I believe in. My work now is to love myself, to stop living in the personality I have created and see myself for what I truly am. My second task is to respect and trust myself so that I can assert myself. The love I find will be my motivation. I am searching now for this being to love. Thank you, for guiding me through part of my process.

"Working through these layers feels like peeling an onion, one layer at a time, each revealing something more fundamental underneath and bringing me closer to understanding myself."
I’ve been attending online therapy sessions with Kessuda for over five years, and over that time I’ve seen tremendous personal growth. Through her guidance, what initially showed up as losing my temper over trivial things gradually led to the realization of much deeper issues—ones I had long ignored or wasn’t even aware of. Working through these layers feels like peeling an onion, one layer at a time, each revealing something more fundamental underneath and bringing me closer to understanding myself.
Kessuda is never judgmental. She listens with genuine empathy and reflects back what she observes with care and clarity. I highly recommend her to anyone considering starting therapy. That said, it’s important to keep in mind that the work ultimately depends on you—you need to be open to vulnerability and committed to doing the work yourself, because no one else can do it for you.

"My sessions with Kru Ked have been moments of true discovery, understanding, and acceptance of myself... I can become the person I wish to be—with love and respect for myself."
My sessions with Kru Ked have been moments of true discovery, understanding, and acceptance of myself.
What I have learned is to recognize and express my feelings, which has helped me realize that I can become the person I wish to be—with love and respect for myself.
It has been a meaningful and even joyful process of working with myself, like an achievement in uncovering the complexities of my past that still affect my present, and learning how to align them with what I truly want now.
Each practice with Kru Ked begins with pausing—to find calm, to listen, and to sense deeply through the body—until awareness naturally forms into thought and understanding. In those moments, I do not need to think ahead; instead, I trust in her process. And every session becomes something truly special to me.
Chomnat Imersin,
My world felt so blue but after I opened my mind and accepted this part of me, not denied it or ignored it or run away from it, there was sunshine in my heart and that remains until now. This world is so bright, I feel very light and free.
I keep learning to be aware of my automatic thoughts and practice according to the advice of Kess.
It was difficult in the beginning, as I couldn’t get used to it.
Since I tried many times it got easier. Slowly, through daily practice, I came to understand my emotions better and gain a better idea about who I am. Now, I admire and love myself more.
I get along with friends better. I can handle my kids much easier and my husband tells me much more frequently that he loves me.
The most important thing is that I’m happier; The tool that Kess gave me is like a mirror and shows me how to use it to see my true self. It helps me to see myself more clearly, and it makes me braver and happier. It also helps me to change the habits that gave me relational problems. I’m thankful to Kess who gave me a new life and made me a new person. What I have learned, money could never buy. To learn to know yourself is a beautiful value for life, even if someone gave me 10 million dollars, that could not change me in the same way.

"Kessuda has helped me understand self-compassion and the value of checking in on myself. As someone who’s been managing OCD and depression for many years, she provides a fresh and effective process that’s helped me stay present, distance myself from automatic negative thinking, and better understand my values and needs.

"I struggled to accept these realities, and for the first time in my life, I sought help from Kessuda... this safe space has allowed me to be comfortable to make mistakes, live with imperfection, and find happiness in the unpredictability of life."
I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I received from Kessuda during a challenging time in my life. Growing up, I believed that I could only succeed if I won, and that if I couldn’t attain a perfect self, I would be a failure. This mindset pushed me to give 150% in everything I did, but I didn’t realize that one day, when life didn’t return what I had invested, the harsh realities hit my ego hard. I struggled to accept these realities, and for the first time in my life, I sought help from Kessuda.

“Kruu Kade played a pivotal role in building our community and program, allowing our community to thrive and become resilient. Her private course also gave me a solid foundation for my mindfulness and yoga practice, as well as a deep insight and awareness into my temperament."
I worked with Kruu Kade (Kessuda) in different capacities, first of all I was a client of hers: I followed a private enneagram and yoga course at her home in chiang rai, which gave me a solid foundation for my mindfulness and yoga practice, as well as a deep insight and awareness into my temperament and how I relate to those around me.
Kruu Kade also worked at New Life Foundation where she was co-director.

“Her compassionate and gentle guidance has helped me to reach a new level of awareness and self knowledge that is transforming the way I have always seen my place in the world and in relationships."
I had not been consciously looking for a life coach or therapist when I met Kessuda, but I am so grateful that we found each other. Her compassionate and gentle guidance has helped me to reach a new level of awareness and self knowledge that is transforming the way I have always seen my place in the world and in relationships. Through the use of Mindfulness Based Enneagram Practice, I am learning how my habitual thoughts and behaviors have kept me stuck in patterns that limited my personal growth. I am also learning how to observe my feelings, thoughts and body sensations without judgment, allowing me to get in touch with my needs, so that I can communicate them clearly to others. I treasure my sessions with Kess - they are an oasis of calm and clarity in our stressful world. If you are struggling with anxiety, self doubt, relationship problems, unhealthy habits or other difficulties in life, you will find effective and highly individualized solutions. Kess has an extraordinary ability to make me feel truly seen and respected in a profound

“"As of now, I am a sick person who is happy with myself. People around me say I'm bright, not like the sick. I couldn't come to this point without loving and skillful help from Kess."
Recently, I discovered that I have breast cancer. I chose to do eight chemotherapy sessions and 25 radiation sessions.
During the chemotherapy period, I experienced the worst pain and suffering of my life. It was the most intense struggle with myself I had ever experienced. Such pain made me understand how a patient could decide to end their life. When the body is weak, it also weakens the mind.
(From having thought that he was not afraid of death But there was a feeling of fear of death when it met with that actual state)
I looked for help and found Kess. She guided me to a practice to deal with pain. I learned to notice my thoughts that were frightened, confused, unaware of myself, weak, and lost. I gradually regained my sense of self. I remember only my first session with her; I felt love and kindness for myself and respect for my body.
Kess’s voice makes me feel comfortable. I am familiar with some of the processes she uses and have trained with them before. However, it didn’t affect me as much as when I practiced with Kess. Practicing the techniques she offered brought me safely through my difficult mental state. I know how to live fully in the present moment, it unlocks illusions in the mind. There is enough love for myself to share with others.
As of now, I am a sick person who is happy with myself. People around me say I'm bright, not like the sick. I couldn't come to this point without loving and skillful help from Kess. Thank you Kess from the bottom of my heart.

Kessuda helped me to reshape my life. I am now able to catch up with my mind. She is a very good listener and helps me find deeper emotions that were hidden. She helped me discover that I am my own guru - in that no one can help me, except myself.
I now can find my inner self, practicing awareness and be able to go forward with my life. She helped me to have a clearer mind, less judgment and be able to see things as they really are. After completing my course. I recommended that my sisters and mother take a course with her. We now communicate and understand each other better. And we are more open to speak our mind (in a mindful way).

"How much we are moved by the changes taking place in our son from Kess’ works. He is beautiful to see - standing tall, feeling his strength, and often very clear-headed."
How much we are moved by the changes taking place in our son from Kess’ works. He is so beautiful to see - standing tall, feeling his strength, and often very clear-headed. Kess is not only a counselor, but a wonderful friend, seeing the depth of his soul. She is a blessing. It is like his head is out of the fog, and he is seeing his way forward as he learns about himself. For the first time in years.

"My stress and anxiety have been reduced and I feel better equipped to deal with difficulties in life. The enneagram was new to me. It's a great tool for strengthening compassion." Kess is a patient and open-hearted teacher. It's easy to see that what she shares is something she uses herself daily. I think it's her mindfulness that enables her to observe what I'm needing and dynamically create a customized session. My stress and anxiety have been reduced and I feel better equipped to deal with difficulties in life. The Enneagram was new to me. It's a great tool for strengthening compassion. Kess asks me to observe the people in my life and, with insights from enneagram study, I have a better chance of responding with love and valuing them just as they are.

"The work of becoming aware, where she patiently accompanied me, allowed me to look more clearly at my limitations, my strengths, and to analyze in another light my mistakes, my fears, and my guilt."
The strength of Kessuda’s method and the intensity with which she has maintained our exchanges have led to the sadness where I have been bogged down for a long time.
The work of becoming aware, where she patiently accompanied me, allowed me to look more clearly at my limitations, my strengths, and to analyze in another light my mistakes, my fears, and my guilt.
Most of all, I have managed to connect to this source which I have only a glimpse of, a calm water where all the events of life can bathe, without getting lost in the quicksand of emotions. The questions asked by Kessuda allowed me to reconnect with my inner guide and I feel today full of a brand new energy. Our interviews and his diagnosis allowed me to cross an abyss… Thank you Kessuda for guiding me on the path of the Enneagram.

"From my own experience, the course process has helped me recognize my thought patterns and learn to accept my fears and shortcomings. This course is beneficial for those looking for self-discovery and self-awareness without being force-fed."
I started the 10-session life coach course in 2020 after my colleague's suggestion and out of curiosity to see if the course might help reduce my managers' stress. After 10 sessions ended, I redirected several people to attend 10-session courses, and I also stuck around. I'm glad I did. From my own experience, the course process has helped me recognize my thought patterns and learn to accept my fears and shortcomings. This course is beneficial for those looking for self-discovery and self-awareness without being force-fed.

Kessuda has truly changed my life and way of living. She has supported my intentions and goals. We have been meeting every other week for a little over a year and I’ve only seen positive changes in my life. I’m a mother of two young children and needed to embrace self- care and an overall healthy emotional and mental way of life. Kessuda has taught me so many valuable strategies that I’m easily able to adapt in my life. I can’t thank Kessuda enough.

:"One particularly powerful technique I’ve learned is to recognize which 'car' I’m in—whether it’s carrying positive or negative emotions... This approach has helped me stop overthinking—and even sleep more peacefully."
I have been consulting with Ms. Kessuda for some time, and each session has provided me with a new skill to better understand and manage my emotions. One particularly powerful technique I’ve learned is to recognize which “car” I’m in—whether it’s carrying positive or negative emotions. If I realize I’m in a negative car, I now have the awareness and tools to acknowledge it and consciously step out of it.
As someone who tends to overthink, another valuable lesson I’ve gained is to examine the consequences of the situation I’m fixated on. By identifying possible outcomes and finding practical solutions for each one, I can calm my mind. This approach has helped me stop overthinking—and even sleep more peacefully.
